Betenbough Homes Odessa Named Best Home Builder in 2025 Odessa Reader’s Choice Awards

We’re honored, thrilled, and deeply grateful to share that Betenbough Homes Odessa has been named Best Home Builder in the 2025 Odessa Reader’s Choice Awards!

This recognition means so much to our team—not just because it celebrates our dedication to quality and customer service, but because it comes directly from the people who matter most: our homeowners and community.

Four Betenbough Homes builders break ground for a new community in Odessa.

Built by Us, Loved by You

Since opening our doors in Odessa back in 2007, our mission has been to make homeownership possible by offering high-quality, affordable new homes. We're a cost-plus builder, meaning we never set the prices of our homes based on what the market is willing to pay. Instead, we establish a reasonable margin, adding that to our hard costs (without including overhead). This means home prices only increase when our costs increase; it also means that we lower prices when our costs go down, and we've done that many times over the last thirty years. That alone sets us apart from every other new home builder in the area.

From our very first foundation poured to our latest move-in ready home completed, every step has been guided by a commitment to serving families and building community. Winning this award is a reflection of the trust you’ve placed in us. It tells us that the hard work of our team—from our New Home Specialists to our Builders—has made a real difference in the lives of more than 20,000 West Texas families.

More Than a Home—It’s a Community

At Betenbough Homes, we believe a home is more than just walls and windows—it’s where life happens. That’s why we focus on more than just craftsmanship and layout. We design homes that are comfortable, functional, and filled with thoughtful features that support your lifestyle, from open-concept kitchens to spacious outdoor spaces perfect for Odessa sunsets.

Being named Best Home Builder confirms that our values resonate with this incredible community. Serving others and being good neighbors is part of who we are. We’re proud to be part of Odessa’s growth and grateful to every homeowner who has chosen to go on their home-buying journey with us.

Part of Betenbough Homes' company culture is serving not only our homeowners, but also the communities where we build. Here are some recent situations where we got to be a good neighbor in Odessa:
  • Going the extra mile for a family coming out of a bad rental situation (read more here)
  • Supporting one of our beloved trade partners in need (read more here)
  • Helping new Odessa homeowners get a fresh start (read more here)
  • Reminding a hurting homeowner that God loves her (read more here)
