We were able to get in on the ground level. With a custom plan specific to our needs. We were able to add a bigger patio, change the size of the game room and most importantly add a handicapped BATHROOM. At no extra cost for all the plan changes, just the materials. They even suggested […]
We first moved into an Abshire small garden home in 2008. We loved that house and it was bittersweet parting with it. As we grew into a large family, we still loved the home. The only thing that coaxed us away was a larger home the Abshires built in the same neighborhood. We were able […]
After examining the neighborhood I gave Beth a call and she understood what we wanted. She then introduced me to Mrs Joan Abshire. From then on I had to work with Mrs Joan who always gave her professional advice whenever necessary. She is such a patient, sweet person to work with. She would go to […]
We’d not planned to ever build a home. When we met with the Abshire’s about building we immediately knew their process would allow us to build our first home without having any idea what we were doing. Joan had a plan and a person for everything. She told me what I needed to decide at […]
Great family oriented builders. They were easy to work with and continue to provide support, even after closing on our home.
We wanted to say thank you to everyone at Abshire Building Group who helped us create our new home. It was a wonderful experience from the very beginning of the planning phase through the end of construction. Special thanks to Mrs. Joan for taking the time to listen to our needs and presenting us several […]

They have such a wealth of knowledge with the entire building process and try to make everything very simple and easy for the buyers. Mrs. Joan, James and Jaime were quick to answer any questions or take care […]
A year ago buying a new house was not in our thoughts at all. We left one Sunday to let my daughter’s dogs out and buy popcorn at Walmart… SERIOUSLY! We love going to open houses and happened upon an open house sign in River Birch Place. We went in and met Mrs. Joan. Walking […]
We had a wonderful experience with Abshire Builders while building our new home. They were very personable and professional to work with. This was our first home building and they were very personable and professional to work with. This was our first home building experience and the chore of selecting brick, fixtures, tile, etc. can […]
I have had many homes custom built in this area. Abshire Building Group is absolutely the best company that I have had the pleasure to be involved with. From the plan design to the landscape, the work was completed on time and executed perfectly. I was involved in every decision small or large and kept […]
In May 2012, I began looking to purchase a home in Lumberton, Texas area. I had a limited amount of time in which to complete the purchase, so I was looking at pre-owned or “spec” housing. I had looked at many homes in Beaumont and Lumberton, and was beginning to think that I was not […]

From start to finish they are professional, accurate, timely with information, and available. When decisions need to be made or when questions arise, […]
I’ve never wrote a review for anything in my life but James Abshire went above and beyond and deserves to be recognized. While James was in the process of building our house, I hired a pool contractor to build a pool in the backyard. This contractor did not have any dirt to fill in around […]
