Horizon Homes Durability

Some homes are merely built. Ours are engineered.

"Poor drainage and inadequate soil preparation are the most frequent causes of slab movement and perceived failures. Horizon Homes involves geotechnical and landscaping professionals early on to help avoid these problems both during and after construction."

EDWIN D VAN RIPER, P.E. C&C Engineering, Inc., Dallas, TX

From the foundation on up, every Horizon home is painstakingly designed and constructed to serve your family for decades to come.

Superior Water Piping System.

Your Horizon home includes a Copper Water Piping System; the superior material of choice for plumbing systems in American homes for over 70 years, with a manufacturer backed 50 Year Limited Warranty.

Foundations that stay put.

To counteract the active soil expansion and contraction that’s par for the course in North Texas, your Horizon home is constructed on a post-tensioned slab foundation. Internal cables are stressed to 30,000 PSI so that your foundation is in a constant state of compression, much like a rigid raft floating on top of the soil.

Water is the enemy.

All of our homes include full guttering and surface water drains to channel water away from your foundation to prevent cracking and potential slab failure. Each Horizon home also includes a generous landscaping package and fully sodded lawn to combat erosion–and enhance the look of your home.

Ceilings without sag.

Unlike many other builders, Horizon uses ceiling-rated sheetrock, not wallboard, for ceilings. Our sheetrock has a higher density than wallboard so your ceiling will not sag over time.

Stay connected in the digital age.

Wired with two RG6 data lines and two Cat 5e telephone lines per tech drop, your Horizon home is ready for the digital age. While other homes can be functionally obsolete from the day they are purchased, a Horizon home allows you to continually upgrade your communications system with minimal expense and without tearing apart walls.

Drawers, Drawers and more….

Our cabinets are the best-constructed in the industry. Each Drawer features dove-tailed joints so it will be operable and beautiful for years to come. And while many of our competitors build bathroom vanities without drawers, our homes actually come with stacks of drawers (per plan) to provide more space for all our your bathroom necessities.
