Meet the Team
Alyssa DeLashaw
Owner - Construction Manager
As Owner and Founder of DeLashaw Custom Homesteads, Alyssa leads the team the same way she was taught by the two generations of homebuilders before her - with diligence, passion, and a heart for serving others.
Raised in a family of builders, she learned early on that a home is more than a structure. It's the place where families gather, memories are made, and legacies are built.
Determined to continue that legacy in her own way, Alyssa earned her Construction Management Certification from Collin College and combined her education with the hands-on lessons she learned growing up in the industry.
Today, she is passionate about helping families create homes that reflect their values, support their lifestyle, and serve as the backdrop for life's most meaningful moments.
Guided by her faith and a commitment to treating others well, Alyssa strives to make every client feel cared for throughout the building process. For Alyssa, the greatest reward isn't building a home. The reward is in knowing she has played a pivotal role in creating a space that will be filled with laughter, traditions, and memories for generations to come.

As Field Support, Jacob plays a vital role in keeping our team moving forward every day. Often working behind the scenes, he serves as the backbone of our company, stepping in wherever needed and ensuring our team has the support and resources necessary to succeed.
His commitment to service extends far beyond the construction industry. As a firefighter and paramedic, Jacob has dedicated his life to helping others during some of their most challenging moments.

Wesley and Waylon
Field Interns
With a collective 16 years of experience, Wesley and Waylon bring a level of enthusiasm and energy to the team that is truly unparalleled. As Field Interns, their responsibilities include quality control of snack supplies, equipment testing, frequent jobsite inspections, and asking important questions that no one else has considered.
Their work ethic is unmatched, and they arrive ready and willing at every jobsite they are dragged along to. Whether they're lending a hand, learning the ropes, or keeping the team entertained, Wesley and Waylon are always eager to be part of the action.
When they're not supporting the family business, they can be found practicing for their future careers in Motocross, exploring the outdoors, and reminding everyone why building homes is ultimately about building a place for families to grow.
