Remodeling in Travis Heights
Design-forward remodeling, on hillside streets
Travis Heights mixes 1920s through 1940s craftsmans with substantial newer infill on genuinely hilly ground. Additions and second stories here carry structural considerations flat lots never see, and the design-literate clients here stay engaged through every decision.
Sloped-lot structure
Additions and second stories engineered for hillside lots, not adapted from flat-lot plans.
Old meets new
Craftsman originals and contemporary builds side by side, each remodeled on its own terms.
Design-literate clients
A strong design community that stays engaged from first sketch to final walkthrough.
Hillside Structure
Built for streets that climb
The streets climb from the lake, and the houses climb with them. This is the order a hillside project goes together in.
- 1
Read the slope
Grade, water paths, and access surveyed before anything is drawn.
- 2
Footings on grade
Engineered from the slope up, stepping with the lot's actual grade.
- 3
Drainage planned first
Water moves downhill through these lots. We route it around the house before we build.
- 4
A second story that fits
New structure sized to the original craftsman below it, not dropped on top of it.

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.
