Chuck and Kristal, We have enjoyed working with you, Joseph, Kassie, and others! We are very happy we chose to build with CKC. Thank you for all your insight along the way and talking us off ledges when necessary. We really appreciate how responsive CKC has been during the warranty process. We compare notes with other homeowners in the Canyons and have yet to hear of another builder that is as great to work with as CKC! A CKC customer stopped by last month to ask us a few questions about our house, and we ended up giving them a tour. Please feel free to share our contact information with your customers. We are always happy to share our experience!

Very pleased with CKC. They built a great house. My wife and I had our ideas for what we wanted the house to be, CKC filled in some blanks where we trusted their expertise versus assuming we knew things we didn’t know. It worked out great as a dual collaboration. It is a process that has bumps and delays but we started the process during Covid and the supply chain fiasco. Whether you are bottom or top down, Chuck will work with you to end up with what you want in the design process. This was our first experience in building, I might change a few things if I did it again with what I know now, but I wouldn’t do it without CKC.

CKC Custom Homes recently completed a major remodel of our 4,800-square-foot ranch house in Kendall County, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The scope was extensive—structural changes, a full interior renovation, new HVAC and plumbing, a standing seam metal roof, audio/visual systems, and the addition of a beautiful outdoor kitchen and cabana by the pool.

Chuck was deeply involved in the planning process, turning our ideas into detailed drawings that helped us visualize the end result. Kristal was incredibly helpful with selections and had a great eye for translating our style into reality. The transparency of their bidding process and their ability to work within our budget was refreshing.

The project took about six months, and while we’ve built several homes before, this was by far the most complex—and the most impressive—project we've ever done. Chuck and his team stayed on top of every detail, followed through on the punch list, and left the property clean and better than they found it.

We’re proud of the finished product and would gladly recommend CKC Custom Homes for any high-quality remodel or new build. They delivered exactly what they promised—and more.

Elliott Pew, Canyon Peaks Ranch

We have now been in our CKC built home for 3 years and continue to get great comments from our neighbors on how much they like the exterior of our home, and the very roomy feel of the interior.

We asked for “wow’ factor and got it for both the outside and the inside. Every room in the house has a custom ceiling treatment including high ceilings in the kid’s bedrooms. The floorplan is roomy, but also very efficient. Minimal wasted space.

Chuck is very good at pointing out items that bring value in both use in future resale. Example is our wider garage doors, and the brick and mortar fireplaces. 3 years into the home and we have only had service calls once on the air conditioner, and once on the garage. Both were fully covered by warranty.

I contracted CKC Custom Homes to construct my custom home in Comfort, Texas in 2008. I was very impressed with the process Chuck utilizes to let you know exactly where you are during construction. The budget was set and you knew your cost upfront and throughout the process.

Kristal was very efficient and effective in all of our choices during the deco process. Overall our experience was excellent with CKC Custom Homes. We finished on schedule, within budget, and the results were our beautiful quality built custom home. I would choose CKC again if I were to build custom.

It is with tremendous enthusiasm we recommend CKC Custom Homes. After considering many of the best-known elite homebuilders in the San Antonio area, it was an easy decision to select CKC Custom Homes to construct our dream home in Helotes, Texas during 2013. When we witnessed their top-notch construction quality and the unique CKC beauty and style that work so well within the San Antonio-area landscape, choosing CKC above numerous other custom homebuilders was the obvious choice.

Each home that Chuck and Kristal Powell create is truly one of a kind. Chuck’s attention to the building process details and using first-rate quality materials and workmanship during a home’s construction is foremost in his mind. He and his design team thoroughly assessed the unique and challenging features of our lot and maximized its potential far beyond what we thought possible- he is a visionary. The flair for style and detail Kristal brings to each home as a talented and experienced designer amazes clients and guests to their homes.

She incorporates the clients’ needs and personal style, blending them perfectly with her own sensibilities and design industry knowledge in a manner which leads to an end result that will never fail to impress. Working with the entire CKC homebuilding team was a pleasure due to their strong customer service ethic. The difference truly is in the details when it comes to building high-end custom homes- it is no surprise CKC Custom Homes has received numerous awards and recognitions for their work and we know they will remain at the forefront of their industry and will surely receive far more accolades and continued success in the future.

CKC Custom Homes have been members of the Greater San Antonio Builders Association for over 15 years now. They have participated in several Parades of Homes over the years and always win several awards, including the coveted “People’s Choice Award.”

Both Kristal and Chuck Powell have been extremely active in the Association having served in several leadership positions including the Board of Directors. In addition, they have both continued to take our educational courses designed to encourage our builders to stay on the cutting edge of technology, business development, and good business practices. This Certified Master Builder program is through the National Association Of Homebuilders. Their reputation in the community is stellar, and we believe they would be a huge asset to your community.

Outstanding experience from the moment we met with Kristal and the CKC Team to the completion of our dream-home. Very professional, polite, positive, and experienced custom home builder that has opulent craftsmanship that separates them from other builders. Most of all, the owners are very family-oriented, have an exceptional staff, and a pleasure to work with. They take pride in their work and the results show it. We highly recommend CKC to build your next home!

I’ve been privilege in working for quite a few High Quality Builders in my business as lead designer for Hyden Design Group. Been designing for CKC for a few years and have design quite a few homes for their custom clients.

Not once have I witness CKC not giving their client the best service possible. I believe It is good business to walk a custom client from design all the way to handing the key to their New House they will call Home and that is what CKC has and is doing. It is a privilege to work with CKC knowing this is a company that does their best every day for their clients.

Michael B. Hyden

Building the house of our dreams was easy with CKC. Absolutely the best experience! Everyone from financial assistance to navigate the best deal, Michael Hyden our architect creating a work of art, the incredible quality of construction and attention to details, the most collaborative design team ever! We would build with them again if we ever sold this house which is not likely.

CKC Custom Homes is truly a cut above the rest.

Coming from a homebuilding background, we knew we’d be particular when choosing someone to build our custom home—and CKC exceeded every expectation. From day one, the process was seamless. Kassie walked us through everything with patience and clarity, the real-time pricing tool helped us stay within budget, and the Buildertrend app made organizing it all a breeze. Even building from out of town felt easy, thanks to our incredible superintendent, Joseph.

What really sets CKC apart is the level of care. Chuck and Kristal were at every meeting, on every email, and gave us their personal numbers for anything we needed. Their entire team was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our vision a reality.

Yes, building a custom home comes with bumps—but it’s how CKC handles those moments that makes all the difference. Chuck’s solution-oriented mindset and Kristal’s design expertise gave us total confidence every step of the way.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but service like this is rare. CKC feels like family now, and I can honestly say we’d build with them again in a heartbeat. We love our home—and we’re so glad we chose CKC.

Shelby Parker

What a great experience building a home for the first time. The entire team is there to help every step of the way. The technology they utilize makes it simple for out of town owners to check progress, see the calendar, approve selections, give feedback, and so on. Couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you Chuck, Kristal, Joseph, Kassie, design team, and great trades for making our dream become reality.

Parker Willis
