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 started in home building with a framing crew in 2009, when he was going to school in his home state of Louisiana. Since then he has finished his bachelors degree in business management and his masters degree in project management. He has worked as a commercial and multi-family construction project manger since 2014, and during that time completed projects such as Chick-Fil-A, Mooyah Burgers Shakes and Fries, Dallas Baptist University Fitness Center, a college tennis facility, multiple eight unit town-homes, multiple home remodels, and Dallas Baptist University’s Living Learning College, that will eventually house over 500 students and staff. Chase joined the Neighbors Construction team in 2018 managing all of our house builds as the Project Manager. In 2021 Chase started to take over as the owner of Neighbors Construction and since than has brought on Payton McAlister and Reed Bass to manage on site work.

Payton McAlister married Randy’s second daughter Nicole. Payton has been working with Neighbors Construction since 2019, and during that time he also worked for two larger construction companies, while completing his degree in civil engineering. Payton is now one of our project managers who will be your friend and guide from start to finish of your new home build.

Reed Bass is one of the reasons that Chase ended up in a career of construction. Chase and Reed worked together at Dallas Baptist University running their construction department for over five years. In 2018 Reed left DBU to be head of construction for Waxahachie ISD and help build and remodel their schools. When Chase decided he wanted to grow Neighbors Construction he knew Reed would be the perfect fit to help with this. Reed moved to Decatur with his wife and three daughters in the spring of 2021, and he is now one of our Project Managers that will also be your friend and guide from start to finish of your new home build.

Jessica LeRoy also graduated from DBU with a degree in Business Management. She formerly worked for Guidestone Financial and led large teams in regular financing but also large, special projects. We were lucky to have her added to our team and she is now the person in our office that keeps us all in line and makes sure lots of little pieces behind the scenes don’t get missed.

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.
