We've been looking at their homes for a while. We finally contacted them to det-up an appointment. The first time we left a message and never got a call back. The second time the person we spoke with got our info and said someone would call to set-up the appointment. The third time the lady said they just send out an email and you go through a checklist. Why didn't this occur in the beginning. Then come to find out we are about 5 miles outside of their build zone. A complete waste of time.

I recently addressed an issue we had with the kitchen cabinet stain. Since the day Joey Cuoto was aware of the situation, he went above and beyond to make sure Cuoto would do what they needed to do to fix the issue and wanted us happy with our home. His professionalism and understanding made the whole process simple and easy. Thank you Joey for great customer service. I appreciate everything you did for us to ensure we would love our home even more!!!

We started the process with Couto Homes in July 2021 and just before our first meeting in August the prices online increased quite a bit- which was our starting price. When we went back for our second meeting on September 1st we were informed the prices would be going up yet again but assured we would be locked in on our current pricing if we signed by the end of the month. On Monday, Sept. 13th we received our plans for the "final review" and were told we needed to sign by the end of the week to save ourselves from the current price increase. We were not able to have a final meeting and had to

We have owned our home for 2 years and 2 months. We had a problem with the main A/C unit and it leaked through the ceiling into the dining room a couple months after moving in. Josh with Couto was there in 45 min of the initial call. Fast forward to this week. The same issue occurred and the same service occurred. Keep in mind we are out of the one year warranty. I spoke to Collin and Joey and it's taken care of. In my experience when I have had a problem (which we all will), they go above and beyond. Communication is the key. They do what's right.

Purchased a new construction home in 2019 from Couto Homes and have been very happy with our decision. Jim was our project manager, and even though the house was nearly completed when we purchased it, Jim was very helpful in answering any and all questions. We had an issue with the concrete driveway that ended up not being repairable, and Couto Homes agreed to replace the entire driveway. Overall, a very positive experience.

Extremely disappointed in this builder. I did a lot of research before settling on Couto. They were not the most expensive we talked to but far from the cheapest too. I feel we got next to nothing for the premium price, literally dozens of issues with our home and theyve grown more and more unresponsive on warranty requests.

Im a realtor licensed in TX and NC. And Im a very proud Couto homeowner.
Were a military family who retired and moved to Granbury. After some time of living here and getting to know the area. We decided it was time to set roots down. As any agent should. We interviewed a few builders got quotes and an insight of their work. I personally went to look at 5 different builders. Couto being one of the last ones. At first seeing their work I was under the impression we wouldnt be able to afford hiring them. We wanted an almost fully custom home. With my experience of working with many new
