Home Building & Remodeling in Howe, TX
Howe is one of those small Grayson County communities that people discover when they realize they can have acreage, good schools, and a 12-minute drive to Sherman all at the same time. Sitting right along US-75 between Sherman and Van Alstyne, Howe has a population of about 3,000 and a genuine small-town atmosphere that the bigger cities in the region can't replicate. The land around Howe is open and buildable, with parcels ranging from a few acres to larger rural tracts — exactly the kind of property that's ideal for a custom home. Bradshaw Builders is just up the road in Sherman, and Howe has been part of our regular service area for the full 40 years we've been in business.
What to Know About Building in Howe
Building around Howe means working within Grayson County's permitting framework for most properties, which is more straightforward than dealing with larger city planning departments. The soil is the same heavy black clay that runs throughout central Grayson County, so engineered foundations with proper pier depth are standard. Howe ISD is a small district with a strong community following — Friday night football in Howe is a real event, not just a game. Most buildable tracts around Howe require well and septic systems, and the water table depth can vary from property to property, so a water test is part of our standard evaluation process. The proximity to US-75 makes Howe practical for commuters who work in Sherman, McKinney, or even as far south as Plano.

FAQ
Building in Howe — Common Questions
How much does it cost to build a custom home near Howe, TX?
Custom home construction around Howe typically ranges from $165 to $250 per square foot. Land costs in the Howe area remain more affordable than cities in Collin and Denton counties, which allows homeowners to get more house and more land for their budget. We provide free estimates that cover everything from site prep to final finishes.
How long does a custom home build take in Howe?
A custom home near Howe generally takes 7 to 12 months from permitting through completion. Grayson County's permitting process is efficient, and the rural setting means fewer site constraints than building in larger cities. Home size, design complexity, and weather all influence the final timeline.
Do most properties in Howe need well and septic systems?
Yes, the majority of buildable acreage around Howe is outside city water and sewer service areas, so well and septic systems are needed. We've installed hundreds of well and septic systems throughout Grayson County over 40 years. We test the water table and soil percolation rate as part of our site evaluation and include these systems in your overall project estimate.
