Spring Branch, Houston · Since 2015
Floor plan, kitchen, baths and finishes planned together and built in one sequence. Houston ranch houses and two-stories, reworked from the plan out.
One house, one plan
Most Houston houses get remodeled in pieces. A kitchen this year, a bath in three years, floors whenever the money allows. Each piece is fine. Together they never quite add up, and you pay to disturb the same walls twice.
We start with the whole plan. Where the walls stand, where the ceilings can go, how the kitchen meets the living room, where the primary suite belongs. Then we put the work in order so each trade finishes before the next one arrives.
That is how we have worked on Spring Branch ranches, Memorial two-stories and Oak Forest bungalows since 2015. The shop is on Hollister Street, a few minutes from most of the jobs.
What we build
These three make up most of our work. Each is drawn as part of the whole-house plan, then built in its place in the sequence.
01 / Whole home
The job the whole company is built around. We redraw the floor plan, open the chopped-up rooms, raise or vault ceilings where the framing allows, and rebuild the kitchen, baths and flooring in one sequence. One schedule covers the whole house, so nothing gets torn out twice and every room ends up speaking the same design language.

02 / Kitchens
In a 1960s Houston ranch, the kitchen is often a galley closed off from the den. We open it, move the layout to where people actually stand, and build tall cabinets, a working island, good lighting and counters that carry the room. It is designed alongside the rest of the plan, not bolted onto it.

03 / Bathrooms
Small hall baths and cramped primary baths are the norm in older Houston houses. We borrow space from a closet or hallway, build a proper walk-in shower, add a double vanity and a real linen wall, and finish with tile and light that make the room feel twice its size.
Call about your bathAnd the rest of the house
Additions, outdoor rooms, windows, the front of the house. All of it is drawn into the same plan and built in the same sequence, so the new work reads as one house.
A primary suite off the back, a larger family room or a full second floor, built so the new part reads as original to the house.
A garage apartment or backyard suite with its own kitchen and bath, for family, guests or a long-term tenant.
Covered patios with a full cooking line, seating, fans and lighting, connected to the kitchen by a wide door.
Stone and concrete patios, walks, retaining walls and pool decks that tie the yard to the remodeled house.
Whole-house window replacement, larger openings and wide sliding or folding doors that pull the back yard into the plan.
New cladding, a redesigned entry, fresh trim and color that bring a tired 1960s front in line with the new inside.
Ground-up homes on your lot, drawn and sequenced with the same plan-first method we use on remodels.

How a job runs
A whole-house remodel works when the order is right. This is the order we use.
Call the shop. We come out, walk every room, look at ceiling heights and how the plan flows, and talk about how you live in the house now. You hear what is realistic before anything is drawn.
We sketch the new floor plan. Which walls move, where the kitchen sits, where the baths and primary suite go. You see the whole house on paper, not one room at a time.
You get a written scope room by room and a sequence for the trades. Selections are made early so nothing waits on a back-ordered tile or a cabinet.
Structure and ceilings first, then plumbing, electrical and air, then walls, floors, cabinets and tile. We keep a path through the house and a weekly update on where things stand.
We walk the finished house with you room by room, close out the list and hand it back clean, ready to live in.
Most remodel trouble starts when work begins before the whole layout is settled. We spend the time up front on the plan so the build runs quietly.
Floors, ceilings and wiring done once, across the whole house, mean fewer return visits, less dust and no finished room torn up for the next phase.
Low ceilings, small rooms and closed-off kitchens are what we see in Spring Branch and Oak Forest every week. We know the usual fixes and where they get tricky.

Doing it in one sequence means floors, wiring, ceilings and paint are done once. You avoid tearing into finished rooms later, and the whole house ends up with one consistent look. It also lets us fix the floor plan, which room-by-room work rarely does.
It depends on how much of the plan moves, but most whole-house jobs run several months, and additions run longer. You get a written sequence before work starts, so you know which rooms are active in which month.
Often, yes. Many 1960s ranches have low flat ceilings with attic space above, and the framing can sometimes be opened to vault the living area. We look at the roof structure in person before promising what is possible.
For a kitchen and bath, many families stay. For a full-house job, a temporary move for the loud middle stretch is usually easier on everyone. We talk through the options at the walk-through and plan around your household.
Yes. A primary suite or family room off the back is a common part of a whole-house plan. We draw it together with the interior so the new rooms connect naturally and the roofline looks right from the street.
Call the shop or send the form. We walk the house, talk through what you want and come back with a written scope room by room. The visit is free, and the plan you see is the plan we price.
