Home remodeling in Travis Heights & 78704
Travis Heights home remodeling contractor
Travis Heights is one of Austin's most characterful neighborhoods — older bungalows and craftsman homes just south of the river, where a remodel has to respect the home while bringing it up to how people live now. Bailey & Bear Construction handles Travis Heights kitchens, baths, additions, and whole-home renovations scope-first: we walk the home, agree on exactly what's included, and give a clear line-item estimate before any work begins.
What we remodel in Travis Heights
High-end remodels built for older Austin homes
Travis Heights homes reward a builder who plans before swinging a hammer. Between historic character, tight lots, and decades-old systems, the difference is scope clarity and clean coordination. Bailey & Bear handles the full range — from a single kitchen or bath to a whole-home renovation with an addition — and keeps the estimate line-item so you see exactly where the budget goes.
Additions & whole-home
Adding square footage or renovating the whole house, sequenced so you keep living your life while the work moves.
Opening up floor plans
Removing a load-bearing wall to connect kitchen and living, with an engineered beam and permits handled.
Older-home realities
Travis Heights bungalows often reveal foundation movement, subfloor rot, or dated wiring and plumbing once walls open. Bailey & Bear scopes for it so surprises are handled, not billed as chaos.
Permits & the City of Austin
Structural, electrical, and plumbing work needs permits and inspections. We pull them and coordinate the timeline so the project passes cleanly.
Respecting the character
The goal is a home that lives modern but still looks like it belongs on the street. We match trim, proportions, and finishes so the remodel reads as intentional.
