Built for DFW Homes
North Texas homes have their own character — modern farmhouses in Frisco and McKinney, craftsman bungalows in the older Dallas neighborhoods, traditional brick in Arlington and Plano, open floor plans just about everywhere. We match the treatment to the house: board & batten and shiplap for farmhouse and craftsman, panel molding and wainscoting for traditional, slat walls for modern builds. In open floor plans, one well-placed accent wall anchors the whole space without closing it in.
