MILLWORKS CUSTOM BUILDING
We’d like to introduce ourselves! I’m Dan Britton, and I started Millworks Custom Building about 20 years ago as a hobby—but it quickly grew into something much bigger (in the best way possible). Construction has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it’s something I truly love.
Nine years ago, Bonnie decided she was ready for a change from accounting and joined me in the business. (I joke that she is the smartest construction worker out there with a Masters and Bachelors in Accounting and she’s out here with me banging nails. I can’t imagine a better business partner.) Today, it’s the two of us on every project building your dream. We also have my 94-year-old dad, who helps mill our specialty siding and rough-cut lumber for our projects. My sister also lends a hand on job sites whenever we need extra help and that’s our crew.
We specialize in Tree Houses, Storage Sheds, Playhouses, Garden Sheds, Greenhouses, Potting Sheds, Chicken Coops, Backyard Bars, She Sheds, Man Caves, Studios and Offices and Tiny Home Shells. Unlike pre-made kits, every structure is custom-built on-site using the highest grade materials available. We take the safety of your family and the quality of your project personally.
If you have a vision, we can bring it to life! Each shed or playhouse is a one-of-a-kind work of art, designed to add charm and character to your landscape. Our materials are sourced from local sustainable forestry operations or those removed for safety reasons. We also embrace reclaimed materials, so if you have old windows or doors gathering dust, we’d love to incorporate them into your custom build—giving them a fresh purpose and a second life.
At Millworks Custom Building, we’re more than just builders—we’re a family dedicated to creating unique, handcrafted spaces that stand the test of time.
We enjoy building our structures, each structure is different than the last and no two are ever the same. When we’re done you have your own unique personalized piece of functional art. When on a project that is what we focus on. We do not try to split forces and work on multiple products at the same time your dream product will have our complete attention.
We listen carefully offer helpful suggestions and input sharing years of experience to help our customers get the best product they can based on their needs and location.
We have been doing it this way because we not only appreciate creating these beautiful structures but we also love the results and the joy that it brings to our customers when we’re done.
It never gets old hearing our customer say:
"Wow that was way more than I thought." Or "Wow you did way above what I expected."
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard my customers say that they can’t believe that I showed up when I said I was going to did exactly what I said I was going to do and more and they tell me that has not been there experience with other companies in the past contractors etc.
People often asked me how did you get into this business well comically I say it is pretty much a hobby that got horribly out of hand in a good way! We started this over 16 years ago and we have yet to slow down.
I guess all my previous jobs cutting timber for Louisiana-Pacific with my dad, building homes and doing remodels has prepped me for what I do now.
Growing up in East Texas I went to Elkhart high school and attended Trinity Valley community college obtaining a degree in horticulture.
Later I moved to the Pacific Northwest for a few years, then returned to Texas after realizing how I truly missed the life and culture here. The slower pace of life the more friendly attitude and personalities of people I’ve met and not to say they’re not friendly people up in the Northwest but I think they are in too big of a hurry to enjoy life like we do in the great state of Texas.
I was raised have strong family values, high morals, to respect my elders and respect all people. I believe that giving my best to everybody I meet and treating them with respect and honor always comes back around so that everybody’s basket is full.
