Remodeling in Barton Hills
Mid-century ranches, at the greenbelt's edge
Barton Hills is a more uniform stock than its neighbors: late 1950s through 1970s ranch homes on slab, on sloped streets that feed the Barton Creek Greenbelt. The remodels here open compartmentalized plans and point the house at the trees.
Greenbelt at the street
Sloped lots and streets that back to the Barton Creek Greenbelt, with the trailheads to match.
Compartmentalized plans
Original ranch layouts that want opening: kitchen, living, and the view connected as one run.
Outdoors-first owners
Long-tenure owners updating untouched originals, and newer arrivals who bought for the greenbelt.
The Greenbelt Edge
The house is the basecamp
In Barton Hills the greenbelt is a routine, not a view, and it shapes what we design here: a real drop zone inside the back door for trail dust and wet towels, a pantry stocked for early starts, an outdoor shower on the way in from the creek. Four doors into the canyon sit within a walk of most streets in the neighborhood. The house's job is to make the coming and going effortless.

Our Services
What we build in the neighborhood
Kitchens that open up, bathrooms rebuilt properly, and whole home projects that update without overreaching.
How We Build
Better materials, by default
When we open a wall, we use the opportunity to specify better. Cleaner materials and moisture-safe assemblies, chosen during design, not on site.
Non-Toxic Materials
Zero-VOC finishes, tested for off-gassing, specified alongside standard selections during design.
Mold-Resistant Construction
Waterproofing and moisture management done properly, especially in slab-foundation bathrooms.
Enso Design Process
Renderings, selections, and a fixed price, settled in design before demo begins.
Every Project, Every Time
The Enso Standard
Six things we do on every project
2.A Schedule You Approve Before Demo
Every phase, trade, and milestone in a Gantt chart, signed off by you before demo begins. Contractors who run late don't put schedules in writing. We do.
3.Selections Settled in Design
Every material, fixture, and finish is chosen during design, when there's time to think. Construction starts with a complete plan, not a running list of open decisions.
4.A Job Site That Respects Your Home
A sealed dust barrier goes up between the work zone and the rest of your home, with HEPA filtration running from day one. Designated disposal bins, no food on site, no trash left behind.
5.Daily Logs in Your Client Portal
Photos and a written update every working day, plus a weekly walkthrough with your project lead (in person or on video). You never chase us for an update.
6.The Final 10% Waits for You
We don't bill the final payment until the punch list is complete and you've signed off. Three months later, we're back to make sure everything works the way it should. All of it carries a one-year craftsmanship warranty.
