Hewitt is the kind of suburb that doesn't feel like a suburb. Yes, it borders Waco and sits right along I-35, but it has its own identity — strong schools through Midway ISD, well-maintained neighborhoods, local businesses that have been around for decades, and a community that genuinely looks out for each other. It's no wonder families choose Hewitt and stay for generations.
Prize Oaks is a custom home builder and remodeling contractor based in Moody, Texas — just 15 minutes from Hewitt. Owner Brent Preston has been working in residential construction across Central Texas for over 15 years, completing more than 200 projects with a 5-star reputation built on quality work and honest communication.
When you hire Prize Oaks, you're not hiring a big operation where your project is just a number. You're hiring a builder who lives nearby, answers his own phone, and takes personal responsibility for every nail, every finish, and every deadline.
Custom Homes in Hewitt, TX
Hewitt's residential market is mature but active. While large new subdivisions are less common than in some surrounding areas, custom home opportunities exist on infill lots, available parcels near Spring Valley Road and Sun Valley, and on the outskirts of town where you can find a bit more acreage.
Prize Oaks builds custom homes with a focus on quality over speed:
- Floor plans designed for your family — not pre-built models with minor options
- Solid site preparation and foundations tailored to the local terrain
- Energy-efficient building practices — proper insulation, efficient windows, and right-sized HVAC systems
- Complete project management — Brent handles everything from design through final walkthrough
Searching for a home builder near Hewitt, TX who builds homes meant to last? Prize Oaks builds for families who are staying — not for developers looking to flip.
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels in Hewitt
Many of Hewitt's homes were built during the 1980s and 1990s building boom that established the city as a premier Waco-area suburb. These homes were built well — good bones, solid structures — but their kitchens and bathrooms often reflect the design trends of an earlier era. Oak cabinets, laminate counters, builder-grade tile, and closed-off layouts are common, and they're ready for an upgrade.
A kitchen remodel in Hewitt, TX through Prize Oaks includes:
- Custom or semi-custom cabinetry in contemporary styles
- Premium countertops — quartz, granite, or butcher block
- New flooring, backsplash, and lighting design
- Plumbing and appliance prep upgrades
- Layout modifications to open up sight lines and improve workflow
Bathroom remodels are equally transformative. From master bath overhauls with frameless glass showers and dual vanities to efficient hall bath updates that add function and value, we bring the same attention to detail to every project.
Additions & Whole-Home Renovations
Hewitt families have a common dilemma: they love their neighborhood, their kids are thriving at Midway, and they don't want to move — but the house doesn't quite fit anymore. That's where Prize Oaks comes in.
We build additions and handle renovations that let families stay exactly where they are:
- Master suite additions — more space, more privacy, better design
- Garage expansions — from single to double, or adding a workshop
- Covered patios and outdoor living spaces — Hewitt's neighborhoods have great backyards worth investing in
- Sunrooms and enclosed porches — year-round usable space
- Full home renovations — opening up floor plans, updating every surface, modernizing systems throughout
Whether it's a single room or the whole house, we approach every renovation with the same standard: build it like it was always meant to be there.
