    We were referred by my best friend. Veranda built their last two homes and they were not only tasteful, but built like fortresses. Betty Baker has an incredible business, and they are 100% committed to building a the very best quality home. Mike Kerr was our construction manager and I believe him to be one of the top construction professionals in the world. He is a true craftsman and an amazingly knowledgeable expert. I would never build another house with anyone other than Mike and Betty. They truly care. Weve been in our house three years and it has been an Incredible experience!! So Grateful for you Betty and Mike!

    We interviewed several builders before deciding on Betty and Veranda. The difference for us was not only the quality of the construction, but we liked that Betty was an interior designer and a builder. Her designer skills were very helpful in the architectural design and the build out. They were also the only builder that recommended the geothermal heating and cooling system, which we are very pleased with. Mike Kerr was our project manager. He not only clearly knows all aspects of the construction process but he also personally made some of our custom features, and did a fabulous job with them. The process itself went about as smooth as you could expect for a project this size. We hired our own architect, but Betty was involved with the design from the beginning. I’m sure if we had gone with another builder, we would have ended up with a nice house. However, knowing the contribution of Betty and Mike to what we had visualized and the architect’s final plans, we wouldn’t have ended up with the amazing house that we did. Thank you Betty, Mike, Mark, and Rob!

    The best decision we ever made was choosing Betty Baker and her team to remodel our home! Not only is Betty a talented builder, she has a great eye for design as well. She is so easy to work with and spent hours with us making sure our plans were perfect. Mark and Rob were a joy to have in our home - professional and personable! Betty is so kind and we would highly recommend her and the entire Veranda team to build your new home or remodel your existing one! ~Amy and Chris Davis

    Best decision we ever made was hiring Betty Baker and her amazing team to build our dream home. Mike Kerr was our construction manager and he made sure our house was built to our satisfaction. Betty and her team exceeded all of our expectations. Betty has such an eye for the tiny details that make a home so special. We interviewed some of the top builders in the metroplex when we were thinking about building. After seeing some of Betty’s homes we knew we had to hire them. Not only did we have the most amazing professional relationship with Betty, Mike and the entire Veranda team we also became great friends!-Carmen Y

    We have nothing but great things to say about Betty Baker and the team at Veranda Designer Homes! We have built or remodeled 7 homes all over the US. In the Fall of 2020, after significant water damage to our Westlake home, we had to gut the entire first floor. After talking to several builders, we were lucky enough to meet Betty and her team!From the moment Betty walked through the door, she listened, asked lots of questions, and offered advice and suggestions. There was no pressure, just ideas. You really get a two-for-one with Betty- half designer and half builder! She has a designers eye with a builders knowledge! She wont let you make a mistake and works tirelessly to make sure your vision comes to life! Weve NEVER had a builder go to such painstaking work to coordinate the paint colors, countertops, floors and cabinets. Theres a beautiful flow of colors, lighting, even cabinet and door hardware that we could never have achieved on our own.Betty and her team have an excellent eye and the patience to coordinate all the details that can overwhelm their clients. They make the complicated easy and fun to understand. If you can imagine it, they can make it happen. We know Veranda has added a lot of value to our home!Weve been back home for 5 months and our remodel is more than we could have hoped for! All the elements blend together beautifully, better than any other house we have had. We are already looking forward to building another house with the Veranda team!!!

    Our family has worked with Veranda for the past 4 years. Mark and Betty truly are two of a kind. They have such an amazing expertise in their field and they build an amazing quality. More importantly, they are amazing people. They always go above and beyond expectations and do it with a smile. They are compassionate, caring, ethical, and are the kind of people that make this world a better place. I recommend them, without reservation, to anyone wishing to build or remodel their home.

    This was our first time at building a home so we were quite nervous to say the least. Betty Baker was the builder we choose because she made us feel comfortable and confident that our dream home could be possible with our budget. In fact, we got so much more because her team of Mike, Mark, Jamie etc.. were so detailed and listened to our every idea and picture. This house had to be ADA accessible, and have plenty of room for entertaining and storage. It is and every visitors marvels at the beauty. Three years later and everything still looks new and functions perfectly! I actually want to build again, but only if Veranda is my builder!

    We could not be happier with our home. Betty, Mark and the entire Veranda crew are wonderful to work with. The level of detail, quality of construction and impeccable finish-out of their homes is unmatched. Their homes are “custom” in every sense of the word. Betty kept us involved with every step of the process, ensuring that the end result was a home that was not only beautiful, but completely functional for how we live. They are truly passionate about what they do and are willing to stand behind their product. We highly recommend Veranda Designer Homes.

    We started contemplating a complete remodel of our traditional country home back in 2008, and could never develop the plan that satisfied our desires, then in frustration we shelved the project for another couple years. And repeat.Finally, in 2018 we got serious about tackling the project. We met with 3 different builders along with their preferred architect, the last being Betty, Mark and architect Jamie Linn. Wow!! What a huge difference a thoughtful, attentive and competent team makes! We connected immediately, knowing without a doubt this was the team we wanted to work with.Floor plan development moved along quickly and after several work sessions we had a working plan, and it was extensive! We truly appreciated the process of plan development right down to the details of how a space will flow and function – Betty and her team were extremely adept at listening to our desires and helping us envision the finished space.So we emptied about 95% of the house, moved into temporary quarters on the property and it was go time! A massive amount of interior demolition performed without incident, with everyone being very attentive to not damaging a developed property. There are always surprises on a remodel – Betty, Mark and Rob were excellent at developing cost effective solutions.The attention to detail, response to concerns and development of a coherent design and finished product was absolutely remarkable. Betty led her team on a very substantial transformation of our house from closed off traditional to more open concept transitional in just 7 months – amazing.Of course you have a choice as to who you’re going to work with on your dream home, Sue and I feel strongly you can’t make a better choice than Betty and her team!

    Having lived in many areas of the country, and moving relatively frequently due to work, we always knew that one day we would build a home that embodied everything we had experienced, and everything we knew we wanted. But knowing what you want, and achieving it exactly, are sometimes two different things.After landing in Texas and realizing we were here to stay, we toured dozens of homes by dozens of builders, and what continued to catch our eye was the attention to detail in the Veranda Designer Homes we visited. We met with several builders to discuss our general ideas, but we knew when we met Betty that wed found our partner!From the architectural planning and design, to the sequences of construction, Betty and her team were intimately involved and engaged, and kept us informed of every timeline and activity during the build. Our home is more of a contemporary design, and Bettys ideas and excitement truly inspired us as we went. Needless to say, we knew what we wanted, and we certainly achieved it!Weve had many friends over the years say they would never put themselves through a ground up build again, but we can honestly say with Veranda, wed do it again in a heartbeat!Dave & Theresa Wood, Cielo

    We were impressed with the organization of the project through Excel from start to finish. The timeline ran smoothly and we appreciated the weekly updates. We enjoyed working with Rob and Mark and their help engaging the subs. Whenever an issue was discovered on the home prior to renovation, Rob and Mark could be trusted to fix it correctly and quickly. The subs were talented and a pleasure to work with and thank you Betty for allowing the client to make the final decision. Often the client thinks they know what they want, but listening to your recommendations and having patience with us was the best guidance. I highly recommend Veranda Designer Homes for a home renovation.

    I have personally witnessed tragically out of date spaces modernized to perfection; Ive seen the saddest of circumstances, such as frozen pipes and flooding, turned into award winning spaces; Ive seen neighborhoods transformed, the impossible imaged become real and daring dreams of spaces and designs come true. To say Betty knows what she is doing is an understatement.What is more remarkable is what I have not seen. I have never seen an unhappy customer, ever. I have never seen a strained or a broken relationship. I have never seen a sub-contractor sideways, and I have never seen a job, no matter how challenging, that resulted in anything but a masterful work of art.Am I a fan? Absolutely! Would I use Betty again! Most certainly! She is kind, capable, creative, and a gifted artist. She has a eye for the times, a head managing costs and timelines, the ear for her clients and the heart for her team.Betty Baker and Veranda Custom Homes are my number 1 pick in remodeling or home building.

    What a blessed team!I met this awesome designer, (Betty Baker), Ms. Betty, as I refer to her, through the builder of my home, Mark. As much work as it takes to build a house from frame to frame, the details involved inside the framework for the specific family, to me, are what truly make the home.Ms. Betty spent time with me, getting to know me and what made my heart smile. Every fixture, every doorknob, the tile in the bathrooms, the color schemes for our personalities, she handled it, literally. And my custom entry gate, PRICELESS! I watched her install or add finishing touches. When I saw her smile I knew she was pleased. She loved on us through her contributions in creating our home.Ms. Betty has a genuine heart in how she gives of herself and time in designing memories that last. Her handprints are still visible because her heart never left my home. I would highly recommend her for any project for none is too big or too small. Ms. Betty meets you and finds your spirit. She then attaches her work belt and creates a home, an atmosphere, designed especially for you.I stand and applaud this team leader! Thank YOU Ms. Betty Baker.Lynda J DoddForever Grateful

    Several years ago, we bought our dream lot in the Manors of Waterford subdivision with the intent on building a custom one story home. As we began the laborious task of plan design, we stumbled onto a one story spec home that Veranda Designer Homes was building down the street from our dream lot in a cul-de-sac.We walked through the house several times, being drawn into the unique and beautiful architecture and design elements. There was so much to love about this house. Beautiful custom beams running through the house. Huge picture windows that brought the outside indoors, highlighting two courtyards with exquisite water fountains with peaceful retreats, and views of the beautiful lot from the large covered patio. After praying about it, we felt led to sell our dream lot and buy this gorgeous home!This elegant home was almost complete, but we wanted to make a few changes to truly make it our own. Betty’s eye for design is inspiring! She spent time researching and dreaming up unique elements and additions. She listened to our ideas and then came back with plans that far exceeded our expectations. Her incredible team jumped in and graciously provided all the resources needed to create some unique spaces by moving walls, adding custom cabinets, custom tile, changing paint colors, and even designing and building a custom game booth in the game room. Mark was a genius!After living in our home for 2 years, we decided to add a pool, outdoor gazebo and cooking center. Betty and her team engaged once again and helped us create a truly spectacular backyard living environment. We’ve owned several homes during our 25 years in Texas but this home is by far our favorite! The entire Veranda team are not only talented, but kind, loving people that are a delight to work with and we consider them our friends. We highly recommend Veranda Designer Homes!-Todd and Kay Armstrong, Manors of Waterford

    Betty and her team are absolutely amazing. From beginning to end, she is always available, always accountable, and always transparent. Building a home can be a stressful project, but Betty makes it as seamless as possible. She stands behind her team’s work and will do whatever it takes to make sure it is done right. If you are looking for someone you can trust when building your home, Betty is the one to call. I can not give her enough stars. She is the best!

    Im a subcontractor who has worked with Betty and her team at Veranda Designer Homes for several years. I want to add my recommendation for them to anyone who is looking to do a home remodel, or build a new custom home. Their honesty, professionalism, and quality is unsurpassed. You will not find a better builder in the area.

    Veranda Design did a splendid job on our renovation in Westlake! Betty makes the process fun; her eye for design and her reliable vendors resulted in a project that was beautiful! She was always ready , years after the project was complete , if we needed any help or recommendations.

    Lisa and I would like to thank you for working with us to give us the home of our dreams. We have had several new homes and after being here inseveral of the 100 degree days of summer and the 10 degrees of winter we have now seen what it is to live in a quality home. No drafts, no whistling doors or clanging water pipes, what a comfortable home! Your team has delivered the best we have seen, thank you.Almost always when discussing building a new home with friends and acquaintances that have done so, 99% of the time the reaction is “I will never do it again”. We can definitely say that is not the case for us. Sure there are problems and unpleasant surprises but those are expected. I guess the secret to getting through the hurdles is how they are handled. Let me say that you and your team did a great job taking the unexpected and making it work. The project was truly a team effort and we are very grateful to you for taking on the uncharted territory requests and delivering some of the unique building requests we were looking for.I remember back when we started we were joking and you said I hope we are still friends in a year from now! Well on the contrary we are more than friends we are family. It is always great to see you and the guys and we hope you will be ready in a few years to build our next one!Thank you so much, not only for the great workmanship of our home but also for the peace of mind you have given us. We know that we have the best build home available for years to come.Warmest RegardsMatt and Lisa Carroll
