Shouses

Shouses

A shouse (shop + house) is the perfect solution for Hill Country homeowners wanting a flexible space that includes both a living area and a full workshop or garage. Texas Building Center builds custom shouses for property owners across Burnet, Lampasas, Llano, and Gillespie Counties who want a home that fits their lifestyle — whether that’s work, hobbies, equipment storage, or ranch living.

Why Shouses Are Ideal for Hill Country Living 

✔ Perfect for Acreage & Rural Properties

Shouses are especially popular on large lots and ranches found throughout Burnet and Llano Counties, where homeowners want multi-purpose structures with space for equipment, tools, vehicles, or livestock-related gear.

✔ Appeals to Hobbyists & Trades

Residents in Lampasas and Gillespie Counties love shouses because they provide room for:

• Woodworking shops
• Auto and mechanical workspaces
• Welding and fabrication
• Craft or storage spaces
• Home-based businesses

✔ One Roof = Lower Cost 

Combining home + shop means a more efficient build and lower long-term maintenance — a practical advantage for homeowners all across the Hill Country. 

✔ Built for Texas Climate

Steel construction and proper insulation help keep shouses cool in the summer and efficient year-round — a must for families in Burnet, Lampasas, Llano, and Gillespie.
