Building a custom home in Texas is about more than floor plans and finishes. It’s about creating a space that works with the seasons — from triple-digit summer days to cool winter mornings and everything in between.
At Jim Boles Custom Homes, we design with the Texas climate in mind so your home is comfortable, efficient, and functional all year long. Here’s how we do it.
1. Orientation That Maximizes Comfort
Before we start designing, we study your lot. Where does the sun rise and set? Which areas get the most wind? By positioning your home to take advantage of natural light and shade, we can reduce heat gain in summer and capture warmth in winter.
2. Energy-Efficient Materials
In Texas, keeping cool in summer is a priority. We recommend high-performance insulation, energy-efficient windows, and reflective roofing materials that help regulate indoor temperatures. These details work quietly in the background to lower energy bills and keep your home comfortable.
3. Outdoor Living You Can Actually Use Year-Round
We know how much Texans love their outdoor spaces. That’s why we design patios, covered porches, and screened-in rooms that can be enjoyed in every season. Shade structures, ceiling fans, outdoor heaters, and thoughtful landscaping help extend your time outside, even in extreme weather.
4. Smart Climate Control
Zoned HVAC systems allow you to customize temperatures for different parts of your home, saving energy and increasing comfort. Paired with smart thermostats, you can control your environment from anywhere.
5. Storm-Ready Features
Texas weather can change fast. We help clients consider features like impact-rated windows, whole-home surge protection, and safe storage for outdoor furniture so your home is ready for sudden storms.
6. Seasonal Storage Solutions
From summer pool gear to winter holiday decorations, seasonal items need a place to live. We integrate storage solutions like attic access, garage systems, and built-in cabinetry so everything has a home.
A Home That Works With Texas, Not Against It
When you build with Jim Boles Custom Homes, you get more than a beautiful home — you get one that’s designed for how you live in Texas year-round. Every decision, from the home’s orientation to the smallest material choice, is made with comfort, efficiency, and durability in mind.
