Northaven Road, Dallas · since 2017
Quiet primary baths with daylight, wood and stone. Kitchens and whole homes, too. Built by one crew from the shop on Northaven.
The shop
Northaven Road, between Preston Hollow and Midway Hollow. Most of our jobs are a short drive away.
A calmer room
Many bathrooms in Preston Hollow and Northaven are small and dark. They were drawn in the 1950s and 60s, when a house sat wide on its lot and the bath got whatever space was left. Newer homes have the opposite problem: a big room with a corner tub and a cramped shower.
We start with the light. Where does it come in, and where could it? Then we choose materials that feel good under bare feet. Oak. Matte stone. Plaster-soft walls. Nothing loud.
The bath is where we began in 2017. Today the same people also build kitchens and whole homes, with the same slow, careful hands.
What we build
Where we began
Our first love. We open up the old plan and make room for a walk-in shower with a wide bench, a soaking tub by the window, a wood vanity with space on either side. Matte stone on the floor. A skylight or a bigger window where the roof allows. The room feels lighter the moment you step in.
The next room
A kitchen should feel as easy as the bath. We take out the walls that box it in, bring the light through, and build calm cabinets in natural wood with stone counters that stay quiet. A large island, a clear path, a floor that runs on into the living room.
The whole floor
Some houses want more than one room. We plan the whole floor at once: walls moved, windows enlarged, materials repeated from room to room so the house reads as one. Ranches on big lots do this well. One crew, one plan, one number to call.
And the rest of the house
The same people and the same quiet materials, from the back patio to the front door.
A primary suite off the back or a second floor over the garage, joined to the house so you cannot find the seam.
A garage or backyard unit with its own bath and kitchen, for family, guests or a tenant.
A covered patio with a real kitchen, soft light and fans, made for long Dallas evenings.
Stone patios, pool decks and paths that drain well and make the yard another room.
Larger windows and new patio and entry doors, so the rest of the house gets the light too.
New brick, stone or siding, a better entry and fresh paint. The outside catches up.
Ground-up homes on your lot, planned around daylight, with the baths and kitchen drawn first.

How we work
A remodel is loud enough already. We keep the planning plain and tell you what comes next before it comes.
We walk the house, look at the room, the windows and the walls, and listen. You get an honest answer on what is possible and a written estimate. No pressure.
A layout, a materials board and a fixture list. You see the wood, the stone and the tile in your own light. Nothing is ordered until you say yes.
One crew, from demolition to the final clean, on a dated schedule. The house is swept every evening. At the end we walk the room together.
Why people call us
Before tile or fixtures, we study the windows, the sun and the plan. A good bath is mostly daylight and good proportions.
Real wood, real stone, simple finishes that age well. We will tell you plainly when something will not hold up in a wet room.
The people who open the wall are the people who close it. You will know their names, and they know your house.

Questions
Plain answers. If yours is not here, the phone is the fastest way to get one.
Usually, yes. Many 1950s and 60s ranch baths are tight, but a few moves help. We replace the tub with an open shower, use pale walls, lift the vanity off the floor and add light where the plan allows. Sometimes we borrow space from a closet next door. We look at the room first, then say what is realistic.
This is a common request in Addison and North Dallas. The room is often large enough. It is just arranged badly. We usually remove the corner tub, build a roomy walk-in shower and set a freestanding tub where the light is best. Cultured marble goes. Stone and wood come in.
A full primary bath usually takes several weeks, depending on how much we change. Moving plumbing or walls adds time. A custom shower or special stone can too. We give you a dated schedule before we start and tell you right away if something shifts it.
No. Bathrooms are where we began, and they are still our favorite room. The same crew also builds kitchens, whole-home remodels, additions, outdoor living, windows and doors, and exteriors. Many clients start with the primary bath and call us back for more.
In most cases, yes. We seal the work area, protect the path through the house and clean up each evening. If it is your only bathroom, we plan the order of work to keep the time without it as short as we can. For a whole-home job, we talk it through together first.
Call the shop, or send the form below. We ask a few questions, set a time to visit and look at the room. You then receive a written estimate that lists what is included. The visit costs nothing, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
