David Weekley Homes Buyer FAQ: The Personal Builder, Custom Choices, the Multi-Level Warranty and What to Check in DFW

David Weekley Homes is one of the largest privately held homebuilders in the United States, founded in 1976 by David Weekley, and it builds in master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth. Every Weekley buyer is assigned a personal team that includes a sales consultant, a Personal Builder, a design consultant and a warranty service representative. Selections are made at the Dallas-Fort Worth Design Center in Carrollton through a program the builder calls Custom Choices, and homes carry a three-level warranty. This page answers the questions buyers most often ask before buying a Weekley home. It is written by an independent buyer's agent, not by the builder, and was updated in September 2026.

About the builder

Who is David Weekley Homes?

David Weekley started his own homebuilding company in 1976 at the age of twenty-three. It has grown into one of the nation's largest privately held builders, building in many markets across the country, including Dallas-Fort Worth. The builder describes its brand promise as offering the best in design, choice and service.

Is David Weekley Homes privately owned?

Yes. David Weekley Homes is privately held rather than publicly traded or owned by a larger corporate group. There are no public shareholder filings to research, so reviews, recent buyers and your own inspections carry more weight in evaluating the builder.

The Personal Home Team

What is a Personal Builder?

David Weekley assigns each buyer a Personal Home Team: a sales consultant, a Personal Builder who oversees the construction of the home, a design consultant and a warranty service representative. The practical value is a named person responsible for each stage. Ask at the start who your Personal Builder will be, how and how often construction updates are provided, and how to reach each member of the team.

How should I use the Personal Builder during construction?

Ask about scheduled walkthroughs during construction, such as a pre-drywall meeting, and put questions and requests in writing after each one. The Personal Builder represents the builder, so keep your own independent inspections alongside those meetings rather than in place of them.

Design Center and Custom Choices

Where is the David Weekley Design Center in DFW?

The Dallas-Fort Worth Design Center is at 3301 North Interstate 35 in Carrollton. Buyers work with a design consultant there to choose flooring, cabinets, appliances, lighting and other selections for the home.

What are Custom Choices?

Custom Choices is David Weekley's program of options for personalizing a home, explored with a design consultant at the Design Center. What is available varies by plan and community. Ask which structural options your plan offers before your first design appointment, and set a total budget in advance, since the design consultant tracks the budget as you select.

Which selections should I prioritize?

Spend first on decisions that are expensive or impossible to change later: structural options, ceiling heights, window placement, electrical rough-in, plumbing locations and built-ins. Paint, light fixtures, hardware and many surface finishes can be changed after closing.

The multi-level warranty

What does the David Weekley warranty cover?

According to the builder, its warranty has three levels. During the first year, a one-year limited warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials, excluding cosmetic items, alongside the appliance manufacturers' warranties. A two-year mechanical systems warranty covers plumbing, electrical, central air conditioning and heating. Major structural defects, such as the foundation, columns and load-bearing walls, are covered during the first ten years. Each homeowner is assigned a warranty service representative after closing.

How should I time inspections around that warranty?

Arrange an independent inspection before closing and another shortly before the one-year workmanship coverage ends, so anything found can still be submitted. Because mechanical systems carry two years of coverage, it can be worth having the plumbing, electrical and HVAC checked again before the end of the second year. Read the warranty document for exactly what each level includes and excludes, and submit requests in writing.

Before your first visit

Do I need a real estate agent to buy a David Weekley home?

No, you can buy directly. The Personal Home Team works for the builder. A buyer's agent is the one party working only for you, from contract review and lot and district verification through the financing comparison and the final walkthrough.

When should I involve my agent?

Before your first visit to a Weekley model. Builders commonly have registration policies that tie agent recognition to the buyer's first visit, and a buyer who tours alone first may find an agent introduced later is not recognized.

Do I have to use the builder's preferred lender?

You are generally free to choose your own lender, though incentives are often conditioned on using a preferred lender. Compare total loan cost against independent quotes taken the same day. If a lender is affiliated with the builder, you should receive a written disclosure of that affiliation.

Lot, school district and special districts

Does the community name tell me the school district?

Not reliably. School assignment follows the physical address and district attendance boundaries, not the community name or mailing city, and some master-planned communities are split across districts or campuses. Confirm the district and campuses for the specific lot directly with the district before signing.

Is there a MUD or PID on the lot?

Confirm it for the specific lot through the county appraisal district's taxing-unit list and the tax certificate. The MUD versus PID explainer and the master-planned community guide cover these checks.

Contract

Is the David Weekley purchase agreement the standard Texas contract?

Builders generally use their own purchase agreements, drafted by the builder's attorneys, rather than the standard Texas Real Estate Commission resale contract. Terms governing deposits, selection deadlines, change orders, completion timing, warranty administration and dispute resolution are set by the builder's document. Read it before signing and have it reviewed. The builder contracts guide covers the categories that matter most.
