About Roost Homes

Tired of seeing strip malls and stamped out subdivisions, I set out to improve the quality of Single Family Homes. I sewed my first tool belt out of recycled jeans, needle and thread, bought some carpentry tools from the local hardware store and went to work. I’ve built homes in Seattle, Telluride, Aspen, Kauai, Detroit and Austin, Texas. With every project we administer, we improve upon Beauty, Efficiency and Livability. Pushing the bounds of conventional building practices and projecting the use and utility of your home 50 years from now is how Roost Homes excels.

“Very helpful and involved.”

“Roost Homes’ work, specifically Moody, is phenomenal. Not only is every detail considered, but even after purchasing Moody was helpful and involved. He was able to accommodate custom work to get a cumbersome drawer microwave installed, he offered to install quarter round to achieve the look I wanted, he even made recommendations for appliances considering the space he designed."

“I couldn't be happier”

“Now that I live in the house, I notice more and more everyday. For example, the windows are arranged in a way to maximize natural light and yet keep the house cool despite the Texas heat. The storage in the kitchen is the perfect balance of open and closed for easy access and a clean look. The densely filled insulation provides excellent acoustic quality in the all of the rooms. I couldn’t be happier.

“The entire process was enjoyable and memorable.”

"We had the pleasure of working with Moody in 2013 on a total home remodel. The home was a recycled 1930s bungalow that Moody moved from South Austin to East Austin, and then he worked with us to re-imagine and remodel it from the ground up. The entire process was enjoyable and memorable. If you want a builder who will listen to your ideas to help you get the home of your dreams, while also offering his own unique vision and perspective to create something truly artistic and special, then Moody is your man! He told us he'd never build a home he wouldn't want to live in himself, and you can tell this is the heart of his professional ethos. He puts his own unique imprint on every project, and the quality and craftsmanship are superb. We couldn't have had a better builder, and we are forever grateful for the work he did for us. We highly recommend him for your next build!"

“Quality craftsmanship at an affordable rate.”

“Moody took the concept of what I wanted in a home and made them real. He is extremely professional. He provided quality craftsmanship at an affordable rate. He carefully listened to what I wanted in a home, and found a way to realize it in a way that only someone with great skill, and a love for his trade could've accomplished."
