Historic Restoration
We take great pride in the work we do restoring Queen-Anne, Craftsman, Bungalow and Victorian high-style homes in San Antonio’s historic neighborhoods. The superb detail and character of these 100+ year old homes deserves to be honored and maintained, while recognizing the necessity of updating them for modern living. We faithfully repair and reproduce period details when needed, typically from authentic reclaimed material. Even the issues with comfort that are common to historic homes can be solved, making vintage homes cozy instead of drafty in the winter and cool in the hot Texas summers.

Remodeling and Additions
We can completely transform your tired or outdated home into a space that inspires you once again. Many of our clients want something as simple as new cabinets and floors or a new bathroom, others have purchased a home in a neighborhood they love, but it needs a complete ‘gut’ and reconfigure, from the foundation up. Often it is a combination of a new addition and updating key spaces. Whatever the scope of you project or size of your budget, we are here with fresh ideas, and years of experience in turning good bones into great homes.
✔ Fully custom kitchens and baths, including design services

Custom Cabinets and Millwork
There is likely no other element of a home that defines the space more than its cabinets. How many times a day do we walk into our kitchens and baths, and open up their doors and drawers? This experience can make or break how we feel about our home and how well it provides for our needs. With new cabinets, counters, and backsplash, we can transform a sad, outdated kitchen you avoid into a hub where you proudly entertain your friends or share perfect meals with your loved ones.
✔ Beautifully designed and crafted cabinets and built-ins with the highest quality materials, finishes, and hardware
✔ Full-service installation with counters, backsplashes, appliances, and integrated lighting
