Investment
Plan with fewer surprises.
Steel prices move and every site is different, so we don’t post a price list we’d have to walk back. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll give you a real starting range before anyone drives out.
What drives the price
Carports and RV covers
Size, height, anchoring, and whether it needs a slab.
What drives the price
Patios and outdoor living
Roof style, concrete, lighting, and finish work.
What drives the price
Shops and ag buildings
Clear span, door count and size, insulation, and site prep.
What drives the price

Why Boy Howdy
Construction without the contractor headache.
Boy Howdy is owner-run out of Bangs. When you call, you get Jaxon or Trent, the same two who show up on your site and put their name on the work.
Owners on the job
Jaxon and Trent run the crew themselves. The person who quotes your build is the person who builds it.
The scope in writing
Before steel gets ordered you get the size, the openings, the concrete, and the price on paper. No surprise line items halfway through.
Built for this ground
We live and work in Brown County. We know what open-country wind and spring storms do to a building, so we plan for them before the first post goes in.
Big jobs and small ones
This year we signed a $500,000 contract. We still show up for a patio cover or a busted barn door, and we treat it the same way.

Trust
Proof you can verify.

Building in public
We're building this company in public.
I'm Jaxon. Trent and I own Boy Howdy, and at 20 I'm building it into a serious Texas construction company from the ground up.
This year that meant signing a $500,000 contract. It also still means carports, patio covers, and barn door repairs, because that's how you earn the big ones.
We post the builds, the wins, and the mistakes as they happen.
