Pioneering Inspired Hill Country Living

Screws and Dakan are pioneers in building remarkable and inspired Hill Country residences.

We are proud to have over 50 years of experience in high-end custom homes with a connection to the culture and landscape of Texas.

By design, we take on only a few projects at a time and build them like they are our own.

For us, personal service is as essential as an impeccable product. Every home we build reflects our commitment to quality, craft, and connection.

Fifty Years of Expertise, Craftsmanship & Connection

We build homes that appreciate not just in value, but in sentiment — homes where generations gather, holidays are remembered, and life unfolds beautifully.
