About Us

At TriStar Built, we believe every project is a partnership. Since 2006, we've helped North Texas homeowners and business owners elevate their spaces through precision remodeling and dependable construction. From kitchens and custom additions to commercial build-outs and storm repairs, our work reflects the pride we take in every detail.

We serve Denton County and the surrounding communities with a clear purpose: to deliver craftsmanship you can count on, service you can trust, and results that add lasting value.

We don’t just aim for satisfaction. We aim for confidence. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, we’re here to make your experience seamless, transparent, and built around your goals.

“Quality isn’t just promised. It’s built in.”

Our Story: A Legacy of Trust

TriStar Built was founded in 2006 in Denton, Texas, and we’ve been growing alongside the community ever since. What began as a small team with a strong commitment to craftsmanship has evolved into one of North Texas’s most trusted construction and remodeling companies.

That trust has been earned through consistency, honesty, and doing the job right the first time. Whether we’re remodeling a family home in Argyle or managing a commercial build-out in Southlake, we approach each project with the same level of care and professionalism.

Our philosophy is rooted in the Golden Rule. We treat every home and business as if it were our own. That means being respectful of your time, transparent about the process, and dedicated to delivering results you can count on for years to come.

At TriStar Built, we build more than projects. We build lasting relationships grounded in integrity and craftsmanship.
