High-end renovations and select new builds in Northeast Tarrant. We bring the same craftsmanship to Colleyville that we are known for west of the metroplex.
Colleyville is where we do some of our most detailed work.
Colleyville sits in Northeast Tarrant County between SH 121 and SH 26, with DFW Airport ten minutes east. It is a different kind of market than what we are known for west of the metroplex: lots are smaller, prices per square foot are higher, and the bar on finishes and detail is unforgiving. Grapevine-Colleyville ISD (GCISD) is the headline draw — Colleyville Heritage High, Colleyville Middle, and the Cross Timbers feeder pattern are why most of our clients are here. We come to this market with thirty years of craftsmanship and the same owner-on-site model — the only difference is we usually arrive a little earlier in the morning to beat the airport traffic.

Where we work in Colleyville
We have done renovations and tear-down rebuilds across most of the established Colleyville addresses — around Glade Road and Hall-Johnson, the estate lots near Colleyville Nature Center and Bransford Park, the older custom streets off Pleasant Run, and the larger original lots on the west side toward Keller. Permitting runs through the City of Colleyville, and we know the planning department.
Major renovations and select new builds
A lot of our Colleyville work is whole-home renovations and major additions — families who love the location, the GCISD schools, and the trees, but have outgrown the original 1990s footprint or the 1980s finishes. We treat these projects exactly like new construction: plans, permits, inspections, warranty, the works. No shortcuts because it is a renovation. We also take on the occasional new build, usually a tear-down on a great lot in the established part of town.
Why Colleyville families hire us
Most of the Colleyville families who hire Open Prairie came to us because their friend in Weatherford or Aledo had us build a house and recommended us. They had been told they would not find an owner-builder who would actually be on a Colleyville site every day. They were told wrong.
Built for Colleyville families
Four reasons North Texas families have hired Open Prairie over the high-volume builders working the same zip codes for nearly thirty years.
Local Since 1995
We have been building in this region since before most of the new subdivisions had names. Every relationship Open Prairie needs to get your job done - engineers, inspectors, trades - already exists and is two decades deep.
Owner on Every Job
Dan Schlaak walks every job site weekly and runs every weekly client meeting himself. You will not be passed off to a project manager who has never met you.
Acreage Builds Done Right
Septic, well, road, pad, tree management, and dust control - things production builders treat as add-ons. We treat them as the job.
Two-Decade Warranty Track Record
Some of our earliest homes are now in their second owner. The warranty we wrote for the first owner still applies, and we still answer the phone. Ask anyone in town.
Building custom homes across North Texas
Building a Custom Home in Colleyville, TX
The questions Colleyville, TX families ask us most often before starting a custom home in this market.
Current Open Prairie projects in Colleyville, TX typically run $1.2M to $3.8M for the home itself, on lots ranging from 1 to 20 acres. Per-square-foot costs land between $340 and $550 depending on finish level and whether the home includes a basement. Land is separate.
Plan on 12–14 months from groundbreaking, plus 3–5 months of design and Tarrant County permitting beforehand. Most of our homes deliver within two weeks of the original target date because we build a small number at once and the schedule actually gets attention.
In most cases, yes - and we are one of the only builders in the region who do them correctly. Soil varies block to block, which is why most builders refuse. We work with engineers we have used here for two decades.
On most acreage outside the city limits, yes. The cost varies dramatically based on depth-to-water and percolation rates. We coordinate the soil testing, the well drilling contractor, the septic engineer, and the inspection sign-offs - all included in our scope.
Yes. Most of the acreage subdivisions here have architectural review committees with their own rules about exterior materials, roof pitch, fence types, and outbuildings. We handle the submittal and any revision cycles as part of the design phase.
Modern Texas farmhouse remains the most-requested style - limestone or brick base, board-and-batten or stone gables, standing-seam metal accents, and big covered outdoor living. Traditional ranch, Hill Country contemporary, and transitional plans are also common. We do not have a house style; we build yours.
