Design Tech Homes: A Builder You Can Trust
The Search for a Trustworthy Builder
When my wife Veronica and I began our search for a homebuilder back in 2021, we interviewed several companies across Texas. Some were polite, but we felt like just another number in their system. Then we met with our salesperson from Design Tech Homes, and everything changed. From that first meeting, we were told exactly what things would cost—down to the penny. No vague “we’ll get back to you later” promises. When we made upgrades at the design center, they showed us the price before we approved anything. The entire process was transparent, professional, and refreshingly honest.
A Building Experience That Exceeded Expectations
Our house was built exactly as promised. There were no hidden surprises, no upsells that came out of nowhere, and every issue that arose was handled clearly and promptly. Even now, years later, we still attend their customer dinners at places like Federal American Grill—events that bring together over a hundred homeowners who share one thing in common: genuine satisfaction. You don’t hear complaints at those dinners, and that says a lot about how Mike and Barbara Feigin run their company.
When Hurricane Beryl Struck
Fast forward to July 2024, when Hurricane Beryl tore through Texas. A 2,500-pound, sixty-foot tree crashed through our dormer roof, punctured the decking, and sent water pouring into my wife’s office. Another branch from that same tree came down on our front porch, knocking a hole completely through the roof. The force shredded shingles and shattered sections of the roof deck board—a major structural repair in itself. The attic insulation across roughly 120 square feet was soaked, the ceiling began leaking from multiple points, and the water eventually ran to the lowest part of the ceiling—the air-conditioning vent—requiring full inspection.
Before any rebuilding could start, a professional roofing crew brought in by Design Tech Homes temporarily patched the roof to stop the leaking while they sourced materials and planned the real fix. For a week, blowers ran day and night to dry the attic and prevent mold.
Repairs That Went Far Beyond Expectations
Every layer of that repair demanded work: new shingles, new deck boards, Tyvek barrier, trim, fascia, Hardie panels under the porch, electrical wiring, speaker wiring, drywall, paint, and full insulation replacement. The remediation, drying, and mold treatment alone lasted a week. The insurance adjuster’s estimate of $4,300 didn’t even come close to reality. With our $4,500 deductible, it was clear this was going to cost several times that amount.
Before I could even contact them, Barbara Feigin reached out after hearing about what happened. Her message was simple: “Don’t worry—we’ll take care of it.” And she meant it. Garrett, the construction manager overseeing our rebuild, coordinated every trade—roofing, fascia, insulation, drywall, paint, electrical, everything. Matt Feigin, who had been our construction manager during the original build, even reconnected to ensure things went smoothly. Design Tech handled the project as if they were building the house all over again. They didn’t just meet the insurance company’s number—they honored the agreed amount, absorbed the extra cost, and never once hesitated. They absolutely lost money on this job, but treated it like it was their own home.
A Home Restored—Better Than Before
Three weeks later, our house looked better than before the storm. The workmanship was flawless. The drywall and paint crew from their in-house team were phenomenal—people who genuinely cared about the outcome. Edgar, who performs their final inspections, caught a dented metal fascia I’d already said was fine to leave alone. He flat-out refused to let it stay that way. He had it replaced—completely free of charge, long after we’d paid the bill. That kind of pride and integrity is nearly impossible to find anymore.
A Company That Leads by Example

I’m publishing this on my own website because people deserve to know what kind of company they are. Whether or not they choose to share it on their own platform, I want folks to see that this builder stands for something real—integrity, family, and pride in their work.
