The Betenbough Homes Story: Building, Serving, and Impacting West Texas

Betenbough Homes, West Texas’ number one new home builder, was founded in 1992 by father and son, Ron and Rick Betenbough. Their mission was to deliver quality homes in Lubbock at the most competitive prices, and in their inaugural year, they built 11 homes. This launch marked the beginning of a business dedicated to providing home buyers with more home for less money and an unparalleled home buying experience.

A Vision for Growth and Leadership

In 2016, Rick Betenbough received a vision from the Lord to step down from leading the company he had started with his father and empower someone else to lead. With encouragement from Ron Betenbough and the Board of Directors, Rick named Cal Zant, then CIO, as the next president of Betenbough Homes. Under Cal’s leadership, the company has more than doubled in size, building a record number of homes each year and serving thousands of new home buyers across West Texas.

Building a Legacy

Betenbough Homes has built over 17,000 homes since 1992 in communities across Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, and Odessa. As an employee-owned company, Betenbough Homes is committed to building, serving, and impacting the communities they call home.
