Why Homeowners Choose Tyris in Blacksburg

Blacksburg has more custom home builders than most towns its size, and any serious buyer will talk to two or three of us before choosing. Here is what makes Tyris different:

  • Award history. 3x NRVHBA Builder of the Year (2015, 2016, 2022), 3x Bath of the Year, and 2x Best New Home. These are peer-recognized awards from the local home builders association, decided by other builders and industry members. It is the single hardest credential to bluff.
  • The owner is on your project. Jason White founded Tyris in 2006 and personally oversees every custom build. You are not passed off to a project manager who runs six jobs simultaneously.
  • We have built here more than anywhere else. Blacksburg is our largest single market. We know the town, the school lines, the buildable lots, the local subcontractors, and how to plan around Virginia Tech’s academic calendar and the seasonal building constraints.
  • Referrals are how we grow. A significant share of our new work comes from past clients recommending us to their neighbors and colleagues. That only happens when the build experience and the home itself both hold up years after closing.

Building in Blacksburg: What to Know

Blacksburg is served by the Montgomery County school system, which consistently ranks among the top districts in southwest Virginia. Town-level zoning is more restrictive than the surrounding rural areas of Montgomery County, which affects setback rules, height limits, and lot coverage. For lots inside town limits, the Blacksburg Planning Commission review process should be factored into the timeline. For rural lots just outside town (Ellett Valley, Prices Fork, Long Shop), Montgomery County rules apply and are generally more flexible.

We plan around these differences from the start so the design, the timeline, and the budget all line up with the specific lot you are building on.
