We Build Custom Coastal Homes Designed for Texas Living.

About Us
Coastal Cottage founders discussing a custom home project

Coastal Cottage is owned and operated by Connie and Dennie Teer — a husband-and-wife team with over three decades in the construction industry. Our efficient process, use of quality materials, and precise construction techniques simplify the journey to owning a home that fits your lifestyle.

By combining hands-on project management, coastal-specific engineering, and a transparent process, we help homeowners move from idea to reality. Every Coastal Cottage home is created with attention to detail, hurricane-rated materials, and a deep respect for how people live on the Texas coast.
