The Story Behind Picklo Homes
Custom Home Builder with 40+ Years of Experience
About Picklo Homes in North Houston, Texas
Our story begins back in 1981, when Terry Picklo founded Country Builders, Inc. after successfully managing a lawn and garden business. Terry started by building a few speculative custom homes but quickly realized his true passion was in the custom home market. Since then, the company has grown steadily, focusing on delivering creativity, professionalism, and superior craftsmanship.
In the late 1990s, Terry’s son Nick, who grew up working alongside various trades, joined the company full time. Nick brought with him a deep knowledge of custom home building, backed by his certifications and experience. Today, as Vice President of Picklo Homes, Nick continues to share his expertise and passion for helping clients create homes that perfectly fit their lifestyles and dreams.
Over the years, as the company expanded beyond rural areas and traditional country-style homes, it rebranded from Country Builders Inc. to Picklo Homes. This change better reflects the broad range of custom home styles and remodeling services we offer throughout North Houston and nearby areas.
