The WM
The WM started as a fascinating synchrodestiny story in 2018 when designers Wilbanks and Mackay met at an industry event and connected over fashion. From there, a year passed while Wilbanks began working with a business coach, and Mackay attended a business conference where both were encouraged to step outside of their comfort zones, get very clear about their desires for their future business, and put all of these things down on a vision board down to the last detail. Mackay reached out to Wilbanks, recognizing a shared passion for modern design that seduces the senses and creates the best life for clients. Unbeknownst to her, Wilbanks had already created the exact same model. The two immediately created a “married in Vegas” feeling business partnership, and the rest is history.
“At The WM, our mission is to transform environments and the experience of home and work, to enhance relationships, productivity and pleasure.”

Southern Green Builders
In 2007, during the economic downturn, two of the partners of SGB were building homes for a production builder in suburbs of Houston. Due to the uncertainty in the market at the time, and the desire to build more architect/client designed homes, they made the decision to leave the production world and start something new. Focused mainly on small jobs and insurance repairs from a recent hurricane, SGB began building its processes and procedures as well as its portfolio as a reputable builder in the Houston area. After a purchase and flip of a 1920’s bungalow in the historic district of the Houston Heights, larger projects began to make their way to SGB and they spent the next several years executing large addition/remodel and new construction projects in and out of the historic districts of the Heights. These projects created awareness about SGB and their abilities to perform on residential construction projects unlike any other in the city. Organization, communication and quality were core values of the company and that still remains true today.

All Star Construction Inc
Founded in 1979 by Herb and Hilda Haws and their three children—Dennis, Russell, and Pamela—our company began as a family-owned real estate venture and quickly evolved into a full-service residential construction business. With backgrounds in insurance, real estate, and home building, the Haws family laid a strong foundation built on the belief that “if we take care of the business, it will take care of us.”
Over the decades, we've worn many hats—from real estate inspectors to insurance restoration specialists—but our passion has always been remodeling and home additions. Herb and Pamela led the sales efforts while Dennis and Russell brought the projects to life. Hilda and Pamela kept the back office running smoothly, and today, the legacy continues with Dennis’ daughters—Nicole, Angela, and Ashlee—now active in all areas of the business.
We learned the business by doing it all ourselves and grew by developing systems that allowed us to expand our team, many of whom have been with us since the early years. We proudly operate out of the building we constructed in 1984 and continue to serve the community with the same care and commitment that started it all.
Now in our third generation, we remain dedicated to delivering high-quality work and a positive customer experience—from the first handshake to years after project completion.

Black and White was founded in 2006 by two builders with over 30 years of experience and was initially geared towards buying land and building its projects. Although successful and very profitable, one of the owners realized that many of the homes being built near Black and Whites’ were often of marginal quality and overpriced.
Greg Simmons then decided he wanted to move the company towards a more service-oriented direction. He had the desire to build a better home that would cost less and give customers instant equity upon completion. It was a bold move and one he would be taking on his own. The company was reorganized with full ownership resting with Greg in 2008.
Greg has been building residential and commercial buildings since 1986. He has built in California, New Mexico, and most recently in Houston Texas. He has completed over 500 structures ranging from low cost, first-time ownership homes to multi-million dollar dream homes, light commercial buildings to larger commercial projects and he enjoys remodels and additions. Building homes is a passion of Greg’s, and he likes to be hands-on, working side by side with his qualified and professional in-house crews.
