Tilson pioneered the "Build on Your Lot" approach to home building over 85 years ago. The concept is simple. Use a lot you already own or pick the exact acreage, land, or property you want to live on. Select a plan from our home designs or bring us your own idea. Get a great home built right where you want to live! There are several major advantages to building your new home with Tilson. One important difference is home plans. Many other builders require that you purchase home plans before they will even begin to work with you.

All Tilson homes are built and inspected to the most rigorous energy codes published by the International Code Council, ensuring a high-performing home that is more energy efficient, comfortable, and durable. The biggest long term threat to your energy bill is air leakage. We do a lot of things to combat that. One of the most important things we do is the two-stage poly seal. The two-stage poly seal is first put around your windows, exterior toe plates, and exterior doors, because those are all the prime places where you're going to have air leakage.
