Our Story

We’re just a group who love old houses.  One by one, we’re helping our neighbors love them too – and after almost a decade, we still think that’s pretty cool. 

Travis started the company while working on his own fixer-upper, and before long he was working with a small team of helpers to repair and improve other homes in the area.  It turns out there aren’t a lot of contractors who want to work on older homes in Dallas, and even fewer who take the time to learn how to do it rightThat’s all we do.

As the company has grown, we’ve maintained our focus on craftsmanship We’re woodworkers at heart, and we’ve found the attention to detail that’s required in woodworking is what makes us unique in the contracting business, especially when it comes to historic homes.
