Four decades later, three kids involved & a loyal team of subcontractors…Larry Mariott, Owner of Mariott Homes, Inc. & Classic Homes by Mariott is prouder than ever. This upcoming August will mark forty-three years of home building experience for Larry alone.
Larry built his company’s foundation on the integrity of family values and the honor system. Quality materials, superior craftsmanship, and customer service are key elements that mark a homebuilding experience with the Mariotts. Larry believes that his business has something unique to offer, something more than just excellent service and quality construction. When you build with Mariott Homes or Classic Homes by Mariott, you are literally working with a family. Larry’s oldest son Coulter, monitors production costs, reviews floor plan details with clients, oversees production of jobs, and itemizes a listing of the finishing touches to be completed before move in. Larry’s youngest son Jared, manages the daily operations for Classic Homes by Mariott, the sister company of Mariott Homes, Inc. for buyers with more economical budgets. Larry’s daughter, Mitzi, serves as the Interior Designer for their business. She paves the way for the successful home building process with her wide array of decorating knowledge from designing their electrical plan, customizing color palettes to selecting coordinating door hardware, and everything in between. “It’s an honor to work with all of my kids…each one brings something different to the table,” said Larry. This sweet family-based team is composed of more than just blood relatives. The Mariotts consider their employees, subcontractors, and suppliers to be members of their family, all unified by the same goal…a commitment to excellence.
Area residents have long recognized Mariott Homes, Inc. as a name that signifies excellence in home building. It is no surprise that Mariott Homes has been voted “Best Home Builder” in the Brazos Valley for 15 years. As a Mariott Homes customer, you will work with a family that cares about your every need from the very first meeting to completion. There is an element of fine craftsmanship and family legacy that goes into each home building project.
“We aspire to present each and every one of our customers with the home they have been dreaming of, tailored to all of their needs,” said Mitzi Mariott-Pampell, Mariott Homes’ Interior Designer.
Working in this region for over forty years has allowed the Mariotts to build deep and lasting relationships with subcontractors and suppliers. These relationships allow for a faster and more efficient homebuilding process. Since subcontractors are familiar with Mariott Homes’ expectations, the lead-time is faster. The Mariotts have the knowledge and experience to make the home building process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
“It is so incredibly important for us to be good communicators to make sure that the homeowner understands our plan and exactly what we’re talking about. If you can’t communicate and be organized, it slows the homebuilding process significantly,” Mitzi explained.
The demand for Mariott Homes has grown so much that a few years ago, Larry and his team opened a sister company, Classic Homes by Mariott. Classic Homes by Mariott offers homes with the same structural integrity, excellent customer service, and professional team of subcontractors, while appealing to a wider variety of budgets. Classic Homes are typically going to be a bit smaller and more affordable. Classic Homes by Mariott can be found in neighborhoods like Pebble Creek, Indian Lakes, Mission Ranch, King Oaks, Austin’s Colony, Greenbrier and Austin’s Estates & Castlegate II.
“The company was formed because we saw a void in the market. We wanted to offer the Mariott Homes quality to a broader audience, but understood that not everyone could afford a home with all the standard amenities that we typically offer. Classic Homes is the same from a quality standpoint. You get all the same structural integrity, that Mariott Homes has to offer, and you still get a Decorator to walk you through the process, but at a more economical price,” Coulter said. “We can build smaller homes with Classic Homes and still be competitive.”
Building a home is a huge decision and investment. If your family is considering a custom home, you need to make sure you’ve chosen a builder that meets your needs, is experienced, and has a respected reputation in the community. “The structural integrity that we put into all of our homes is the backbone of a Mariott Home. If there’s something wrong, it’s going to be fixed.” Mitzi said. With Mariott Homes and Classic Homes by Mariott, your options are nearly unlimited; the main restrictions are your budget and any building code or zoning limitations. If you find that freedom to create a home from a blank sheet of paper to be exciting, then building a custom home is likely for you. Let Mariott Homes and Classic Homes by Mariott help you create your family’s dream home. You’ll find your way to a home that’s “just right” for you and your family.
