Hillside homes, designed for the next thirty years

Westlake Hills holds sixty years of hillside building: 1960s and 70s customs tucked under live oaks, 80s and 90s estates on canyon ridges, and new construction where the originals gave out. Owners stay for Eanes schools and a ten minute drive downtown, which makes remodeling the natural move. The homes are individual, the lots are steep, and the city runs its own permit office. Every one of those facts shapes how a project here gets planned.

Hillside originals

The 1960s–80s customs are one of a kind and due for full interior rethinks: kitchens, primary suites, and floor plans redrawn for how the house is actually lived in now.

Estate-scale scope

Whole home projects and additions are the norm here, not the exception. Larger scope rewards a complete design: one plan, one price, one schedule across every space.

Sites that push back

Slopes, cut and fill limits, impervious cover, protected trees. The lot has as much to say about your project as the house does, and we listen to it in design.

Its Own City

The city reviews the site, not just the house

West Lake Hills is its own city, with its own permit office and site standards stricter than Austin's. We run that review inside the design phase, so the plan you approve is one the city will approve.

Move across the property
Slope, trees, cover, grading. Settled on paper, before the city ever asks.
Under the lens, the lot is drawn as a city site review sees it: survey contour lines across the slope, a measuring grid, and a dashed buildable envelope inside the property lines.
Our Services

What we build in Westlake Hills

Most Westlake Hills projects start in the kitchen or the primary suite and grow from there. The scale of these homes rewards deciding the full scope once, in design, even when construction happens in phases.

How We Build

Better materials, by default

Hillside homes live close to the weather. Moisture moves downslope into crawl spaces and retaining walls, which is why mold-resistant assemblies here are standard practice, not upgrades.

Our Design Process
Renderings, selections, and a fixed price in 2–4 weeks.
Mold-Resistant Construction
Built for Austin's humid climate.
Non-Toxic Materials
Chosen for the air you breathe.
Our Process

The same process, everywhere we build

  1. 1

    Design before demo

    Layout, selections, engineering, and price are settled in the design phase. Construction starts with nothing left to decide.

  2. 2

    A schedule you approve

    You approve the full construction schedule before demo day, and every daily report measures against it.

  3. 3

    Daily logs in your portal

    Photos and a written update every working day, from wherever you are.

Every Project, Every Time

The Enso Standard

Six things we do on every project

1.Priced From Data, Not Instinct

National cost data, tuned for Central Texas, spelled out line by line, with our profit shown right on the estimate. The price is what the data says, not what we think you'll pay.

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.
