Our Take on New Leaf Custom Homes

New Leaf Custom Homes is a fit for Dallas owners building from the ground up who want architect, designer and builder on one team. Reviews are strong, though the company is a new-build specialist first. Ask for licence, insurance and warranty details in writing.

    My husband and I actually hired New Leaf Custom Homes twice and had a lovely experience both times. 2015 was the first time we hired NLCH. They turned our 3 bedroom 1950's ranch style house into an updated 4 bedroom/3 bath home that grew with our family's needs over the years. The second time we hired NLCH was recently, in 2026. We wanted to make a few minor updates to our home while also re-imagining our outdoor space. New Leaf Custom Homes went above and beyond our expectations. They listened to our wants/needs and helped us create additional living space outdoors. They were transparent about pricing and realistic about what our budget could achieve. They kept us updated weekly and they were quick to answer questions throughout the process. Additionally, NLCH stood by their home warranty, even 11 years after we first hired them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend New Leaf Custom Homes to friends and family.

    New Leaf Custom Homes is in a league of their own when it comes to custom home building. You can expect honesty, integrity and the utmost attention to detail, not to mention a gorgeous end product. I am not the easiest client, and they patiently worked with me to get everything right, at every step of the process, from architecture all the way to furnishings. I've made some great friends during the process, as well, everyone that has worked on our project has been fantastic! New Leaf has a culture like family, and they treat their clients as such.

    We had a wonderful experience with New Leaf Custom Homes. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. They took the time to understand our vision and worked hard to make it a reality.<br><br>The quality of craftsmanship throughout the home is outstanding, and the communication during the entire process was excellent. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed quickly, and we always felt informed and valued as customers.<br><br>Building a home can be stressful, but New Leaf Custom Homes made the experience enjoyable and exciting. We are extremely pleased with the finished product and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a builder who truly cares about quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction.

    New Leaf homes are beautiful and well made! I especially love how their homes have such great flow. It is clear they pay attention to how families really live and what works in day-to-day life.

    New Leaf Custom Homes becomes the silent family member permanently embedded into the framework of your life. Their presence isn’t loud—it’s felt in the precision, the restraint, and the refusal to compromise when it matters most.<br>Every detail reflects pride of craftsmanship and a persistence in pursuit of excellence that is increasingly rare. Even at the final stage, revisions were executed with technical rigor, accountability, and care—as if the home were their own.<br>The result is not just a beautiful house, but a deeply trustworthy one—built to perform, endure, and quietly support the life happening within its walls. New Leaf didn’t just build our home; they made it the dream home of our lives. For that, our family is profoundly grateful.

Company Background

About New Leaf Custom Homes

New Leaf Custom Homes has designed and built houses in Dallas since 2006, when Scott and Melissa Powell started the company. It works from Suite 120A at 9850 N Central Expressway and runs architecture, interiors, construction, furnishings, landscape and pools through one process, which is the main reason a homeowner would hire it as a general contractor instead of assembling a team. Its contact form takes both new home and renovation inquiries, though the website itself leads with new luxury homes and a model home.

Google shows 4.9 stars from 59 reviews, read October 31, 2026. One owner returned seven years after the original build to have a pool, a pool house and an addition done, and says the crew was upfront and quick to answer questions. A buyer who bought a Farmers Branch house with good bones credits architect Brett and designers Sam and Elizabeth with turning it into an open plan and adding a bath, a bedroom and a study, although that review dates from 2020. A Lakewood client quoted on the site says the project finished under time and under budget. The site names founder Scott Powell, co-founder Melissa Powell, Liz as vice president of construction and James as president of construction, along with project managers and superintendents.

The caveats are about scope and paperwork. The site does not publish a licence number, a warranty length or a price range, and the renovation reviews are older than the new-build ones. Google lists hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

New Leaf suits owners building a ground-up custom home or a major rebuild who want design and construction under one roof. It suits a homeowner who needs a single room redone less well. Before booking, ask for a written fixed-price or cost-plus agreement, the warranty terms, the permit plan, insurance certificates and a list of the subcontractors who will work on the house. Texas has no state general contractor licence, so check City of Dallas permit records for the builder's recent jobs.

  • Does New Leaf Custom Homes do renovations or only new homes?

    Its website centers on new custom homes, but the contact form asks whether an inquiry is for a new home or a renovation, and reviewers describe an addition, a pool and a pool house, and an older remodel that added a bath, bedroom and study. Ask directly whether the team takes your scope, and request the warranty terms and permit plan in writing, since neither is published.

  • Is New Leaf Custom Homes licensed and insured?

    We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.

  • What areas does New Leaf Custom Homes serve?

    Dallas. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.
