Services
New Home Construction
We build custom homes tailored to your vision using various construction methods including traditional stick frame, piling, CMU, ICF, and barndominiums. Our team collaborates with clients from concept to completion, ensuring each home reflects personal preferences while maintaining structural integrity and energy efficiency. With expertise in coastal construction, we create durable, aesthetically pleasing residences that withstand Texas Gulf Coast conditions.
Remodeling
Our comprehensive remodeling services transform existing homes to meet evolving needs and preferences. We handle kitchen updates, bathroom renovations, and living space expansions while maintaining structural integrity. The process begins with understanding client goals, followed by developing tailored solutions that balance aesthetics with functionality. Our team ensures minimal disruption during renovations while delivering high-quality results that enhance home value and livability.
Traditional Stick Frame Homes
We construct traditional wood-framed homes using slab foundations with 2x4/2x6 exterior studs and 2x4 interior studs. These homes offer flexible floor plans and multiple exterior finish options including wood, stucco, brick, and Hardie plank. Our expertise ensures energy-efficient construction while maintaining affordability and adaptability for various architectural styles. We incorporate modern building techniques to enhance durability and comfort in traditional designs.
Piling Homes
Specializing in piling homes built on treated wooden piles, we create flood-resistant structures ideal for coastal areas. Our elevated designs protect against flood damage while maximizing usable space beneath the main living area. We combine practical flood protection with aesthetic appeal, creating homes that offer both functional benefits and distinctive architectural character. These structures maintain stability in challenging coastal environments while providing versatile design options.
Concrete & ICF Homes
We build energy-efficient homes using Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). CMU homes feature cinder blocks with poured concrete cells, while ICF homes use foam blocks filled with reinforced concrete. Both methods provide superior insulation, noise reduction, and resistance to extreme weather. Our concrete construction expertise delivers durable, low-maintenance homes with excellent thermal performance that significantly reduces energy costs while maintaining aesthetic flexibility through various exterior finish options.
