Gibson HomeBuilders

I have had the best experience with a total encapsulation type constructed house. We built our last home that we plan to spend the rest of our lives in using this method of construction. It has been the best and most energy efficient home that I have ever lived in. It is a 2 story 2800 square foot home using a 3 ton HVAC with a variable speed air handler and a 4 zone damper controlled system. We have 3 zones on the lower part of the house and 1 zone up stairs. A totally encapsulated house is built like an ice chest with windows and doors, so it takes very little to heat and cool.

On October 22, 2009, Jim and I hosted the East Parker County Chamber of Commerce After Hours along with the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce, for our ribbon cutting, all at our newly completed home. Our Total Encapsulation - Energy Efficient - Low Maintenance home was open for all to see. Jim can explain all the specifics of the house. All I know is the electric bill was $100 in July and August when we were having 100+ degree days. The house is comfortable, and for one whole day, clean. So far there is no construction miracle for dog hair, bird feathers and muddy boots.

Most of Jim Gibson’s clients seek him out when they are ready to build the home they want to retire in. They differ from younger homebuyers, who are typically most impressed with a home’s finish-out. Instead, Jim’s clients are looking for a home that is the culmination of all their dreams. They want a home that is comfortable to live in, easy to maintain and cost-efficient from the standpoint of utility bills.
