Construction and Selection Scheduler

Mike Adalis has lived in Houston since 1970. His background is in architecture, design and science. He worked in the design industry and in 1993 founded Champion Custom Home Builders.

Our goal is to help the homeowner design, budget and manage their new home building project. Our commitment to building a custom home includes consultation, communication, guidance, information on design choices and the very best in quality construction.

We consult with each new client, giving them all the information they need to organize their needs and wants for their new home. Many years of communication skills are incorporated to help our clients determine their budgeting and financing needs.

We can assist with the selection of the lot or property, home design, exterior and interior elevations, doors, windows, trim, cabinets, color, appliances, floors, carpet, tile, and all other selections.
