40 years ago Al Couto came to America with a green card and ambition. He wanted to make a living, raise a family, and do something that he loved. He tried being a baker, opened a sandwich shop, and took a job in manufacturing, but it wasn't until the 70s, when Al began working for a construction company, that he found his niche.
He quickly excelled with hard work, common sense and dedication. Nearly 30 years later, his heart is still in it. In 2001, his son, Donny Couto, followed in his father's footsteps and started building homes in Hood County, Texas. Donny's skills as a new home builder started getting better and better, and customers took notice.

We've been looking at their homes for a while. We finally contacted them to det-up an appointment. The first time we left a message and never got a call back. The second time the person we spoke with got our info and said someone would call to set-up the appointment. The third time the lady said they just send out an email and you go through a checklist. Why didn't this occur in the beginning. Then come to find out we are about 5 miles outside of their build zone. A complete waste of time.

I recently addressed an issue we had with the kitchen cabinet stain. Since the day Joey Cuoto was aware of the situation, he went above and beyond to make sure Cuoto would do what they needed to do to fix the issue and wanted us happy with our home. His professionalism and understanding made the whole process simple and easy. Thank you Joey for great customer service. I appreciate everything you did for us to ensure we would love our home even more!!!

We have owned our home for 2 years and 2 months. We had a problem with the main A/C unit and it leaked through the ceiling into the dining room a couple months after moving in. Josh with Couto was there in 45 min of the initial call. Fast forward to this week. The same issue occurred and the same service occurred. Keep in mind we are out of the one year warranty. I spoke to Collin and Joey and it's taken care of. In my experience when I have had a problem (which we all will), they go above and beyond. Communication is the key. They do what's right.

Extremely disappointed in this builder. I did a lot of research before settling on Couto. They were not the most expensive we talked to but far from the cheapest too. I feel we got next to nothing for the premium price, literally dozens of issues with our home and they’ve grown more and more unresponsive on warranty requests.

Couto Homes builds beautifu family l homes, that's a fact! the reason I am giving them 5 stars is the staff they have, they are alll amazing, professional and responsive. A shout out to Josh from Warranty about his excellent customer service, after the last month storm, my neighbor had roof damage, and after calling Couto homes, she was connected with Josh, who sent someone to fix it in less than 24h!! Now she is all happy and she is telling all the neighborhood's how satisfied she is! Thank you for your integrity and standing behind your product 👏

We totally love our Couto home!! A wonderful experience from start to finish!!! Excellent communications all around. Couto is committed to excellence. Our builder Jim always answered my calls and was very informative in keeping me advised as to my questions or status of the project. The design team of Rob and Shawna were awesome in helping get our floorplan and design exactly how we liked it and with their professional touch of class!! All the trades folks were great also, allowing us to be overly impressed with every tile, piece of granite, lights, flooring, paint, fixtures, appliances and landscaping
