Temple is one of Central Texas's most dynamic cities — a place where a strong healthcare economy, growing neighborhoods, and genuine community pride create a market where quality home construction matters. Whether you're a young family settling near the hospital district, a longtime resident ready to renovate, or an investor eyeing Temple's growth, your home is worth building right.
Prize Oaks is a custom home builder and remodeling contractor based in Moody, Texas — about 25 minutes from Temple via I-35. Owner Brent Preston has spent over 15 years building and renovating homes across Central Texas, completing more than 200 projects with a 5-star client rating and an approach rooted in craftsmanship, transparency, and direct communication.
Temple deserves better than assembly-line builders and contractors who disappear after the deposit clears. Prize Oaks offers something different: a local builder who answers his own phone, shows up when he says he will, and treats your home the way he'd treat his own.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Temple
Temple's housing stock spans generations — from post-war homes near downtown to 1990s builds in established suburbs to the newer construction cropping up on the city's edges. Regardless of the era, kitchens and bathrooms are where remodeling makes the biggest impact on daily life and resale value.
A kitchen remodel in Temple, TX with Prize Oaks typically includes:
- Custom-built or semi-custom cabinetry and countertop installation
- Full flooring replacement — tile, hardwood, or luxury vinyl
- Plumbing reconfiguration, fixture upgrades, and appliance prep
- Layout and design consultation focused on function and flow
Bathroom remodeling projects range from targeted updates — new vanity, tile, and fixtures — to full redesigns with walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, custom tile work, and improved lighting. We've remodeled bathrooms in every style of Temple home, and we know how to work with older plumbing without creating surprises.
Room Additions & Full Renovations
Temple's steady growth means many families are choosing to expand their current home rather than compete in a tight buying market. Prize Oaks builds additions and handles renovations that make staying put the smartest move:
- Master suite additions that add space and privacy without disrupting the home's flow
- Second-story additions for families who need square footage without losing their yard
- Garage and carport builds — attached or detached, with workshop or storage options
- Sunrooms, screened porches, and outdoor living areas — extending usable space into Temple's long, mild seasons
