Why Denison Homeowners Choose Bradshaw Builders for Custom Homes
Bradshaw Builders has been building custom homes in Sherman, TX and the Texoma area for over 40 years. Whether you're building on your own land or a lot in a new development, our team handles every detail — from initial design and permitting through construction and final walkthrough. Denison sits just 11 miles from our Sherman headquarters, making it one of the areas where we've completed the most projects over the past four decades. This is a city with real character — from the revitalized Main Street historic district to the quiet residential streets south of town and the lakefront properties stretching toward Lake Texoma.
Many of our clients come to us with land they already own — whether it's a rural property outside Sherman, a lot in Ector, or acreage near Bonham. Building on your own land comes with unique considerations: soil testing, well water systems, septic installation, long driveways, and county permitting requirements that differ from city builds. Denison's building environment varies depending on where you're working. Inside city limits, you'll pull permits through the City of Denison, and most areas have access to municipal water and sewer.
