Taylor offers a unique blend of small-town Texas charm and proximity to the Austin metro. With a historic downtown, established neighborhoods, and new development driven by major employers, Taylor homeowners appreciate quality craftsmanship. Our outdoor living projects here range from traditional wood decks and gazebos that complement historic homes to modern composite structures for new construction.
"Taylor's got older homes downtown and new development on the edges. Different approach for each. The historic houses need something that fits — wood, traditional style. Newer builds, we usually go composite. Samsung brought a lot of growth out here, so we're doing more work in Taylor than we used to."
— Peter Toomey, Founder
Texans spend more time outdoors than almost anywhere else in the country. An outdoor kitchen keeps you with your guests instead of running back inside, extends your entertaining space, and can significantly increase your home's value. Studies show outdoor kitchens return 100-200% of their cost in added home value in desirable markets.
Stay with your guests while cooking instead of disappearing inside. Your outdoor kitchen becomes the social hub of every gathering.
Keep your home cooler in summer by cooking outside. Your AC will thank you during Texas summers.
Outdoor kitchens are highly desirable features that can return 100-200% of their cost when you sell, especially in Austin's competitive market.
From basic grills to full kitchens with smokers, pizza ovens, and woks, we design around how you actually cook and entertain.
The challenge: Taylor's historic downtown has preservation guidelines that affect outdoor structure designs.
How we handle it: We design structures that complement historic architecture while using modern, durable materials. We understand preservation requirements and create designs that honor the character of older homes.
The challenge: Many Taylor homes are older with unique structural considerations.
How we handle it: We assess each older home individually, checking for proper attachment points and ensuring new structures work with existing construction. Our 40 years of experience includes plenty of older homes.
The challenge: Some Taylor properties are on larger rural lots with unique access and utility situations.
How we handle it: We serve rural Taylor properties just like in-town lots. We assess site access, utility locations, and any special requirements before construction begins.
