Our Story

Two generations, one standard of building

Chase Fine Homes was founded by Chase Dalton to bring a new generation of craftsmanship to Round Top, La Grange, and the Fayette County countryside — building on a family legacy of homebuilding that spans more than four decades.

That legacy begins with Chase's father and partner, Lenny Dalton, whose roots trace back to the early years of residential development in Texas. Over his career, Lenny led several successful residential building and development companies — including Dakota Blue Homes and Tuscany Estate Homes — earning a reputation for homes that balance architectural character with lasting construction quality. His work has been recognized by the Greater Houston Builders Association, including PRISM Awards for excellence in residential design and honors for contributions to community housing through HomeAid Houston.

Today, father and son carry that tradition forward together. Chase leads every Fayette County project hands-on as owner, with Lenny alongside as partner — pairing a fresh design perspective with decades of proven building experience. The approach is simple: build homes with integrity, guide clients through a clear and organized process, and deliver residences that feel timeless, comfortable, and deeply personal.

"A home should be more than a structure. It should reflect the people who live in it — and be built with the care and craftsmanship that only comes from experience passed down."
— Chase Dalton, Owner

BUILDING ON YOUR LAND

Custom Homes in Round Top and La Grange

Chase Fine Homes works with homeowners planning a weekend retreat, a full-time residence, or a custom home on rural land in Fayette County. Chase Dalton leads projects hands-on, with his father and partner, Lenny Dalton, bringing decades of residential building experience.

Planning a home in Round Top

Start with how you want to use your property. A weekend home may need room for visiting family, flexible guest spaces, and outdoor gathering areas. A year-round residence may call for different storage, workspace, and everyday living priorities. We begin with a conversation about your land, your vision, and your budget.

What to bring to your first conversation

Share the location of your land, any plans or inspiration you have, your preferred timing, and your priorities for the home. If you are still considering land or a design, tell us where you are in the process. Early planning should consider site access, utilities, drainage, and the placement of the home before construction decisions are finalized.

Planning your custom home in Round Top

Can we start talking before I have house plans?

Yes. Your first conversation can start with the land you own or are considering, a few photographs that inspire you, and the way you want to live. Tell us which spaces matter most, your budget goals, and your preferred timing. You can also explore our home design collection as a starting point for that conversation.

What should I consider before building on rural land?

Look beyond the footprint of the house. Access from the road, utility connections, drainage, the position of the home, and space for outdoor living all belong in the early discussion. Bring any survey, property information, or existing plans you have so we can discuss the questions that need to be resolved for your particular homesite.

How should I plan a Round Top weekend home?

Think about both a quiet weekend and a full house. Guest privacy, comfortable gathering spaces, storage, and an easy connection to the outdoors can shape very different floor plans. If you hope to live here full-time later, include those everyday needs in the conversation from the beginning.

What affects the budget and timeline for a custom home?

The size and complexity of the design, site preparation, materials, finishes, and the decisions still to be made all affect the scope. Share your priorities early so the discussion can focus on your property and plans. Read about our construction approach and see the Campbell Residence in La Grange for a closer look at our work.
