Remodeling in Travis Heights.

Travis Heights sits on the hills just south of the river, with winding streets, steep driveways and a housing stock that spans seventy years. Grade is the defining feature: it affects access, drainage, and how much an addition really costs.

The housing stock here.

  • A mix of 1920s cottages, mid-century ranches and later infill, often on sloped or terraced lots.
  • Retaining walls and drainage paths that need attention whenever site work happens.
  • Detached garages and outbuildings that are frequent ADU candidates.

What we usually do here.

  • Kitchen and living reconfigurations on the main level.
  • Garage conversions and detached ADUs for guests, rental or an office.
  • Primary suite additions stepped with the grade rather than fighting it.

Permitting

How Travis Heights projects get permitted.

Reviewed by the City of Austin. Sloped lots draw closer attention to drainage and retaining structures, and heritage trees are common. Both are worth resolving before you fall in love with a plan.
