How We Decide
Choose With the Lot and the Street
Look at the lot
A narrow lot, a wooded hillside and an open field each suit different styles. The land often decides what works best.
Look at the street
A good home fits its neighborhood. We study the scale, the rooflines and the materials around it.
Talk it through
We bring ideas and examples to the visit. Call us at 615-431-3789 and we will set a time.
Can I mix styles?
Yes. Many homes borrow details from more than one style, and we plan the combination so it looks right.
Can I see a style in person?
We can talk through examples and materials at the visit so you can picture them on your own lot.
What if my style is not listed?
Ask us. Homes come in many styles, and we will tell you honestly how we would approach yours.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare and submit the paperwork, schedule the inspections and keep you informed at each stage.
Can I live in the house during a remodel?
Often yes for smaller projects. For larger ones we plan phases to keep a kitchen or bath usable where we can, and we protect the rest of your home.
