Family-owned Parker Kane Custom Homes prides itself on building family homes that celebrate Texan beauty
Situated in the idyllic town of Mico, Texas, Parker Kane Custom Homes (Parker Kane) has been making homebuilding dreams come true since 2007. Founded by Dale Heine, Parker Kane is a small, family-owned company renowned for its high quality craftmanship and focus on individuality, building beautiful, bespoke homes to fit every specification. Its portfolio boasts a variety of communities across stunning Texan landscapes, with many more projects on the horizon.
A business centered around close-knit family values, Dale remains Parker Kane’s primary owner and operator, working alongside his two sons, Dalton Kane Heine and Elliot Parker Heine, after whom the company was named. Now, with the company’s 20th anniversary on the horizon, Modern Home Builders sat down with Dale Heine and Elliot Heine, Construction Manager, to learn more about Parker Kane’s journey to success. 
“It has been quite an experience,” Dale begins, reflecting on the business’ journey. “When I started the company, both Dalton and Elliot were fairly young, and it was always my wife and I’s dream to have both of our sons work alongside us in the family business. They have grown up and worked within the business from a young age and it has truly been a blessing. Being able to bring clients’ dreams to life by working hand in hand with my sons is truly an amazing feeling.”
“We are a small family business and consider ourselves to be more of a ‘boutique’ builder,” Elliot continues. “Rather than focusing on the quantity of homes we build each year, we choose to select a handful of projects and build the highest quality home possible within the respected budgets. Every home that we build is a prototype, meaning we never build the same house twice.
“We believe that the foundations are as important as the finish of a home. Clients typically come to us knowing that we focus on proper construction methods to ensure the home not only looks good but is also built to last.”
Striking project
Dedicated to delivering the ultimate homebuilding experience, Parker Kane places great emphasis on communication and collaboration. From initial designs to architectural configurations, mortgage and bidding support to construction, move in and aftercare, Parker Kane’s commitment to its clients is unparalleled. The company maintains constant communication with its clients throughout the entire process, working alongside architects, designers and other industry professionals to fashion the best possible outcome.
Elliot shares two collaborations that Parker Kane holds close: “We have worked closely with Macro Design Studio for a number of years now on the architectural designs of our homes. Jeremy and David are masterful thinkers, and they continue to push the boundaries on architectural designs and characteristics. We walk our clients hand in hand through the design process to ensure that the architect’s vision and the finished product exceed their expectations.
“Additionally, our interior designer Misti, with Ducharme Interiors, is a true professional in the world of interior design. She takes each of our clients through every aspect of selection from fixtures and appliances to tile and color choices. She brings each home to life with timeless designs, not just trends that are here today and gone tomorrow.”
One particularly notable project for Parker Kane was a striking new home constructed on the Ivory Canyon in San Antonio. Nestled amongst breathtaking scenery, this home is especially innovative in both design and structure – a spacious, sophisticated residence with an outdoor pool, creating a setting to soak in the Texas sunshine.
“This home is a statement piece. It was masterfully designed to sit perched on the edge of a bluff, with commanding curb appeal and long-range hill country views,” Elliot shares. “This home makes you slow your car down to watch it go by! Our client wanted to maximize and absorb the space we had to work with on the property, which resulted in a multi-level interior that really makes the house unique.”
Building relationships
With a fresh set of projects and innovations in the pipeline, Parker Kane is braced for another successful year. One exciting project in particular is the construction of three 10,000-square-foot, assisted living mansions which will provide a touch of luxury to those who need it most.
“The homes will include every luxurious aspect of our custom homes with a total of 16 bedrooms and bathrooms,” Elliot reveals. “The idea here is to create an oasis for folks who may be moving out of a custom home that they love but need full time care. Traditional assisted living facilities look and feel more like a hospital than a home; we want to be the luxurious alternative to that for folks who have lived full lives and deserve it.
“2025 is going to be a big year for us. We have a full project load with some truly amazing homes scheduled to begin. We expect to introduce some fun new products into our clients’ homes and will continue innovating and improving every aspect of our homes. Quality is our number one motivator, and we will continue to innovate and introduce the best building practices available.”
As our conversation draws to a close, Elliot reflects on the main attribute that makes Parker Kane so special: “We are very blessed to have a family business that thrives on relationships. In today’s digital world of automation and less face-to-face interaction, it’s very special to still be able to create a personalized process with our clients. We think this is an important part of building one’s dream home.”
Looking ahead, it’s evident that Parker Kane will continue to prosper, not merely building homes but long-lasting relationships, injecting each and every project with passion, personality and love.
