Crafting high-quality new homes in DFW starts with the right partners—those who share the Riverside Homebuilders values, standards and commitment to excellence. One of those key partnerships is with Acme Brick, a name synonymous with strength, beauty and reliability in the world of homebuilding.

To give you an inside look at this collaboration, we recently caught up with Coleman Bowden, our trade partner at Acme Brick, to reflect on the long-standing relationship between our companies and the role Acme plays in helping us bring exceptional new homes to families across the DFW area.

A Legacy Built on Brick—and Trust

Founded in 1891, Acme Brick is the largest brick manufacturer in the United States, with a legacy that spans more than a century. Their first plant, located in Millsap, Texas, is still in operation today—proof of their unwavering quality and longevity.

Coleman’s role at Acme is focused on supporting residential builders like us. “I help with the selection process, tracking orders and scheduling delivery,” he shared. “Building and maintaining relationships is a big part of the job.”

That emphasis on partnership is exactly why the relationship between Acme and Riverside has been so seamless from the start. “Riverside and Acme have been partnered from the beginning,” Coleman said. “Ray Lobato was their first sales rep who laid the groundwork for the great partnership we have today.”

Collaboration That Makes Building Easy

From initial selections to final deliveries, the collaboration between our teams is smooth and consistent—because we both believe communication is the key to success.

“Riverside Homebuilders helps make my job very easy with how they operate,” Coleman said. “Kellie Boling and Marissa Beisner make the selection process easy to manage. We meet frequently to go over selections, availability and to talk about future projects.”

With Riverside’s attention to detail and Acme’s reliability, keeping projects on track becomes a shared success. “All the builders do a great job of scheduling material to be delivered and letting me know when they start,” Coleman added.

Timeless Style, Built to Last

When it comes to choosing materials that look as good as they perform, Riverside buyers can count on Acme Brick to deliver. From lighter hues to deep browns—and even stone—our homeowners have a variety of styles to choose from to personalize their new home’s exterior.

“Brick will remain a staple in future construction due to its durability and versatility,” Coleman explained. “It can be used in many different applications—from interior to exterior—to create a very warm feel to any home.”

This range of design options, paired with Acme’s renowned quality, helps ensure that Riverside homes across the DFW area are not only beautiful but built to stand the test of time.

More Than Business—It’s a Relationship

Working with Acme Brick isn’t just about materials—it’s about people. That shared sense of trust and camaraderie has turned a professional partnership into something more meaningful.

“My favorite memory with Riverside happened earlier this year when they came out to the Acme Ranch for a company clay shoot and picnic,” Coleman said. “Most of Riverside was there, and we cooked out and had a day of fun.”

That day captured what we strive for at Riverside: a team-first mentality, with a focus on collaboration, celebration and genuine connection.

Looking Ahead, Building Better

As we continue to grow and expand our new home communities across DFW, we know that strong partnerships like the one we’ve built with Acme Brick are a key part of that success.

“I see a bright future between Acme and Riverside,” Coleman told us. “Riverside is a great company that is growing, and I look forward to a great working relationship in the future.”
