New Construction · Builder Review
An honest, insider look at price, quality, and where Sitterle Homes builds across Houston — a long-established name newer to this specific market.
Sitterle Homes has been building since 1964, originally out of San Antonio, and Houston is a genuinely newer market for them — which shows up in the reviews a bit, since their reputation hasn't fully caught up here to what it is in San Antonio and Austin yet. They offer both community-based building, including patio homes in Riverstone, and a Build On Your Own Lot program for buyers who already have land and want more control over the process.
Review patterns are what I'd call normal-for-volume: a handful of BBB complaints around specific finish issues (grout, caulk, a countertop chip found at final walkthrough) that got investigated and, in most cases, resolved through the standard warranty process. Nothing rises to the level of a systemic red flag, but Houston buyers should know they're a newer name in this specific market compared to San Antonio.
At $400s–$1M+, Sitterle sits at the semi-custom tier. Worth asking about directly: request their final-walkthrough process in writing, since one of the more common complaint patterns involves an issue being flagged after closing that buyers say should have been caught at the walkthrough. A thorough, documented final walkthrough protects you regardless of which builder you choose, but it's especially worth emphasizing here.
