Schacht V. McCollum

President, Founder

Schacht McCollum is a native Houstonian who has lived in Houston for over 25 years. A summa cum laude graduate of St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, Schacht also holds a Juris Doctorate degree from South Texas College of Law and is a licensed attorney by the State Bar of Texas. While attending South Texas, Schacht met the love of his life, Kaye, and the two were married shortly after both graduated law school.

After practicing law for five years, Schacht decided to follow his real passion - building custom homes of enduring beauty and quality. In August 2000, Schacht started his home building career with a local partnership, focused on custom homes in Houston's premier areas. He was personally involved in over 65 completed homes and just as many satisfied clients. His attention to detail and knowledge of the law served him well in this pursuit and delivering a quality product to discriminating clients.

In July 2004, Schacht and Kaye decided to form McCollum Custom Homes. Let us have the opportunity to make you glad they did! Contact him today to get started on your dream and he will be with you every step of the way.
