Harwood Homes FAQ's

How is Harwood Homes different from First Texas Homes?
Harwood Homes is the boutique, design-forward residential brand within the locally owned First Texas Homes family. While sharing the same financial strength, structural engineering, and private Quality Control inspections, Harwood limits its annual production to focus on refined architectural streetscapes and includes elevated interior finishes—such as quartz or granite countertops, oversized islands, spa-style primary showers, and 8-foot entry doors—as standard.
What upgraded features come standard in a Harwood Home?
Harwood Homes is built on the philosophy of being “Upgraded by Default.” Standard enhancements include architectural stone and brick elevations, 8-foot front entry doors, covered outdoor living spaces (per plan), quartz or granite countertops, oversized kitchen islands with upgraded cabinetry, stainless steel appliance packages, spa-inspired primary showers with tile surrounds, dual vanities with premium plumbing fixtures, luxury vinyl/wood-look flooring in main living areas, and clean 6-inch baseboards.
Are there structural floor plan options and curated design packages?
Yes! Harwood floor plans offer smart, pre-engineered structural options (per community and plan)—such as home offices, media or game rooms, extended covered patios, and fireplace additions—paired with designer-curated finish packages at our Design Studio so you achieve a cohesive, custom-styled interior without decision fatigue.
What square footage range and home styles does Harwood Homes offer?
Harwood Homes floor plans vary by community, generally spanning from the mid-2,000s to over 4,000+ sq. ft. across thoughtfully proportioned one-story and two-story designs. Every floor plan prioritizes natural light, open-concept kitchen and gathering spaces, private primary retreats, and generous walk-in storage.
Can I build a Harwood Home from the ground up or purchase a Quick Move-In Home?
Both paths are available! Depending on the community, you can select your homesite and build your Harwood Home from the ground up—complete with a Pre-Construction Meeting and a 2-hour Pre-Closing Home Orientation—or choose one of our designer-curated Quick Move-In Homes in the map and inventory search above for a faster move-in timeline.
What energy-efficiency and SmartHouse features are included in Harwood Homes?
Every Harwood Home is engineered for North Texas performance with our Energy Efficiency specifications—including radiant barrier roof decking, poly-sealant air barrier protection, Low-E insulated windows, high-efficiency HVAC systems, LED lighting, and tankless water heaters—along with our HomePro SmartHouse Technology package.
What quality inspections and structural warranty back a Harwood Home?
Every Harwood residence is constructed on an engineered post-tension concrete foundation and undergoes municipal code inspections, independent third-party structural engineering inspections, evaluations by our private Quality Control team, and a 2-hour Pre-Closing Home Orientation. After closing, your home is protected by the insurance-backed, 100% transferable StrucSure 1-2-10 Express Limited Warranty.
Does Harwood Homes offer financing incentives or Special Heroes benefits?
Yes! Buyers who finance through our preferred lender, Supreme Lending, can take advantage of community-specific financing incentives, rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and upgrade promotions.
