Belton has a way of surprising people. They come for the lake, the university, or a job at Fort Cavazos — and they stay because the town itself is genuinely worth calling home. With a walkable downtown, Belton Lake just minutes away, a strong school district, and the kind of community involvement you don't find in bigger cities, Belton has become one of the most sought-after places to live in Bell County.
Prize Oaks is a custom home builder and remodeler based in Moody, Texas — roughly 25 minutes from Belton. Owner Brent Preston has been building and renovating homes across Central Texas for over 15 years, with 200+ completed projects and a 5-star client rating. He's a local builder who runs a hands-on operation — not a franchise, not a volume builder, and not the kind of contractor who sends a crew and disappears.
If you're planning to build a custom home in Belton or finally remodel the kitchen that's been bothering you for years, Prize Oaks brings the quality, honesty, and personal service that this community values.
Custom Home Building in Belton, TX

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
Belton's housing ranges from historic homes near the courthouse square to newer builds in subdivisions off Loop 121 and FM 2271. Whether your home was built in the 1940s or the 2010s, kitchen and bathroom remodeling is often the smartest investment you can make — in comfort, in function, and in resale value.
A kitchen remodel in Belton, TX through Prize Oaks can include:
- Custom cabinetry and premium countertop options (granite, quartz, marble)
- Tile, hardwood, and luxury vinyl plank flooring
- Plumbing and electrical upgrades
- Full design consultation — layout changes, island additions, pantry expansions
Bathroom remodeling ranges from cosmetic updates to complete overhauls: walk-in showers with custom tile, double vanities, soaking tubs, updated lighting, and finishes that transform a dated bathroom into something you'd see in a design magazine.
Additions, Expansions & Whole-Home Renovations
Belton's character comes partly from its mix of old and new. For homeowners in older parts of town — near downtown, along Penelope Street, or in established neighborhoods off 6th Avenue — renovations and additions are a way to stay in the community you love without settling for a home that doesn't fit your life anymore.
Prize Oaks builds:
- Room additions — extra bedrooms, master suites, home offices, and mudrooms
- Garage and carport construction — built to match your existing home's style
- Outdoor living spaces — covered porches, patios, screened rooms, and outdoor kitchens
