About Us

Who We Are

  Since 1959 Neighbors Construction has built over 500 homes across Wise County, Denton County, Jack County, Montague County, and Cooke County. These houses have ranged from 500 square feet to over 8,000 square feet. We have also managed multiple commercial projects ranging from small remodels to 20,000 square foot church buildings. All of this business has been from our reputation through word of mouth advertising.

How It All Began

Melton Neighbors started in 1958 working for a contractor in Alvord Texas. In the middle of construction on a home, the general contractor had some health problems come up, so the homeowner asked Melton to finish the job. That’s when it all started. 1959 was the first year of Neighbors Construction. Not only did Melton start running his own jobs at this time, his father and mother, Lester and Louise Neighbors, joined him as some of the laborers.

The ‘70’s

Between 1975 and 1977, Melton’s sons, Randy and Danny, and a friend, Greg Endres, started working with him. At this time they were almost the full home building crew. They would prep the slab, pour the concrete, frame and deck, run the plumbing, wire the home, lay the Sheetrock, set cabinets, plumbing fixtures and light fixtures, and trim out the whole house. Things have changed since then. Now it is all about having great sub-contractors. This former way of “building it all yourself” is a huge advantage so that our sub-contractors work can be inspected by eyes who have actually done the work, and for that reason we know that we have sub-contractors that we can trust and be confident that we are getting the best of work in their particular trade.

The ‘90’s

In 1995 Randy came on board as the owner of Neighbors Construction and worked with his father, Melton, until the last few years. Melton still comes around at times just to make sure we are in line. As one can see, we have a long history of a team that knows the construction industry, and that is even the case with our sub-contractors. Many of our subs have been with us between 20 and 30 years, and that is because we know the level of excellence they will produce, and they know how we handle our relationship with them and our clients. It’s a team effort all the way around and we hope we can be the team that makes your dream home become a reality.

Where we are todAY

In 2016, Randy’s daughter, Natalie, married Chase Rolland. Chase began his career in home building in 2009 as part of a framing crew while studying in his home state of Louisiana. He later earned a bachelor’s degree in business management and a master’s degree in project management from Dallas Baptist University. Since 2014, Chase has worked as a commercial and multi-family construction project manager, overseeing notable projects such as Chick-fil-A, Mooyah Burgers Shakes and Fries, the Dallas Baptist University Fitness Center, a college tennis facility, multiple eight-unit townhomes, several home remodels, and the Dallas Baptist University Living Learning College, a large-scale development that houses over 500 students and staff. Chase joined the Neighbors Construction team in 2018 as Project Manager, overseeing all home builds. In 2021, he assumed ownership of Neighbors Construction and has since brought on Reed Bass to manage on-site operations.

Reed Bass played a key role in inspiring Chase to pursue a career in construction. The two worked together for over five years at Dallas Baptist University, where they managed the construction department. In 2019, Reed left DBU to become the head of construction for Midlothian ISD, where he helped build and remodel their schools. When Chase decided to expand Neighbors Construction, he knew Reed would be the ideal person to help the company grow. Reed and his wife, along with their three daughters, relocated to Decatur in the spring of 2021, and since then, they’ve welcomed another daughter into the family. Reed is now one of our Project Managers, and he’ll be with you every step of the way throughout your home building journey, not only as a professional but also as a friend and guide.

Laura Foreman is a Decatur native who, along with her husband Josh, has raised their two daughters in the community. She holds a bachelor’s degree from WGU in business accounting and brings 20+ years of experience in bookkeeping, along with several years in the custom home building industry. Laura enjoys guiding customers through their home building journey.

We are definitely a close knit family group, but we can guarantee the level of professionalism, excellence, communication, trustworthiness, honesty, and transparency we will show you from beginning to end cannot be beat by any of our competitors. There are definitely other great builders in the Wise County area, but we can say with confidence that we don’t believe there are any better than Neighbors Construction.
