About Us
Building legacies in the Texas Hill Country for over two decades.
A Tradition of Excellence
Founded on the principles of integrity, distinction, and detail, Westway Custom Builders has established itself as the premier luxury home builder in Horseshoe Bay and the Highland Lakes area.
Our approach is deeply personal. We understand that building a custom home is one of life's most significant investments, both financially and emotionally. That's why we limit the number of projects we take on each year, ensuring that every client receives our undivided attention and expertise.
From the initial design consultation to the final walkthrough, our team is dedicated to making the building process as seamless and enjoyable as the finished home itself.

Meet the Owners
Tom Classen
Owner & Lead Builder
Tom Classen comes from a family of builders spanning several generations. He served his apprenticeship working for his father's home building business before becoming a superintendent on a major commercial project in Austin at just 21 years old.
After running his own successful construction company in Dallas, Tom spent 14 years as VP of Development at Desert Mountain Properties in Scottsdale, Arizona—a highly acclaimed 8,000+ acre private golf course community. There, he oversaw the construction of world-class clubhouses and over 60 multi-million dollar homes.
Returning to Texas, Tom managed construction and development at Horseshoe Bay Resort and Summit Rock before purchasing Westway Custom Builders in 2013, bringing his decades of high-end luxury experience to the Highland Lakes area.
