Remodeling in Hyde Park
Modern function, inside Austin's first suburb
Hyde Park was Austin's first planned suburb, and its Victorian cottages, craftsmans, and early bungalows are judged by how well an update balances modern function with neighborhood character. Wiring, plumbing, and plaster get modern; the character stays.
1890s–1920s stock
Victorian cottages, craftsmans, and early bungalows from Austin's first planned suburb.
Century-old systems
Wiring, plumbing, and plaster brought to modern standards without gutting the character.
Preservation-conscious
Exterior changes draw scrutiny here. We design with the district, not against it.
The Hyde Park Balance
What we update, what we keep
We keep
The street face
Porches, siding, and the rhythm the street already knows, held to the district's standard.
We keep
Plaster, trim, and floors
Original longleaf pine, plaster walls, and casing profiles repaired in place, not replaced.
We update
Kitchens and baths
Layouts, cabinetry, and fixtures rebuilt to modern function inside the original rooms.
We update
Systems behind the walls
Knob-and-tube wiring, plumbing, insulation, and HVAC replaced entirely, to code.
A recent project in Hyde Park
"It still feels like our Hyde Park house. It just finally works."

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.
