TejMar Builders is a family-owned custom home builder founded by Karen Tejeda and Gustavo Martinez. Our mission is to build homes our customers will love. We treat every home we build as if it were our own — with high-quality construction, attention to detail and pride in our work.
We stand by our work and are proud of the reputation we’ve built for high-quality custom home construction.
TejMar Builders provides design-and-build services for custom homes across the Triad region of North Carolina, including Guilford, Forsyth, Alamance and Rockingham counties. Our founders, Karen and Gustavo, grew up in the Triad and it’s where they chose to raise their family.
When you contract with TejMar Builders to build a custom home, we’ll work closely with you and your mortgage lender, real estate agent, designers, and others involved in the process. We apply our passion and knowledge to help you create your dream home.
Karen is a licensed general contractor with extensive experience running construction firm offices. As one of the two founders of TejMar Builders, she handles budgets, permits, planning, development, and design. She coordinates selections from homeowner to vendor.
Karen also frequently deals with mortgage lenders, real estate agents, building inspectors, engineers, and other professionals involved in the home building process. She enjoys closely with homeowners to ensure that their vision for a custom home comes to life — on time and on budget.
Karen loves to spend her free time with her three kids, two doodles, and her husband, Gustavo.
Gustavo is a licensed general contractor who has been working in construction for his entire adult life. He has extensive construction knowledge and has run a successful residential framing and roofing company since 2010. He also has vast experience in all aspects of commercial and new home construction. Gustavo is the primary point of contact between homeowners and subcontractors. He has a reputation for exacting standards in every building project he oversees.
Gustavo coaches youth soccer on his days off and he enjoys spending time with his family.
The name of our company is based on the last names of our founders, Karen Tejeda and Gustavo Martinez.
This name reflects our philosophy of treating every customer's home the way we would our own. And it signifies our core values of collaboration and teamwork — with each other, our contractors, and most importantly, with our customers.
Giving back is also part of TejMar Builders philosophy and we are proud sponsors of various local youth sports teams.
