Why I Built BuildHaus
I didn’t start BuildHaus because I wanted to sell windows, doors, or furniture.
I started it because I kept watching smart people get quietly ripped off during one of the biggest projects of their lives… building a home. It’s my dream to open the East Texas market to premium building materials at a fraction of the cost. Not only is it less expensive, but the quality is leaps and bounds ahead of what you find locally.

When you build a house, you’re forced to make hundreds of high-stakes decisions
Many of these decisions are in categories you’ll only deal with once in your life. In that confusion, an entire ecosystem of middlemen thrives. Pricing is opaque. Markups are stacked. Nobody can clearly explain why two similar products can cost wildly different amounts.
Most homeowners don’t realize they’re paying for inefficiency until it’s too late.
I’ve spent my career on the other side of that equation—working directly with manufacturers, building supply chains, visiting factories, and cutting through layers that don’t add value. I’ve seen how incredible products are made overseas, how much they actually cost, and how much margin gets added simply because people don’t know there’s another way.
Importing on your own is a nightmare
One mistake and you’ve got tens of thousands of dollars sitting in a port… or worse, the wrong product in your driveway with nobody to install it.
