Have a home project in mind?
Start with a conversation. You don’t need finished plans.
The way there matters, too
Your home is personal.
So is our work.
Renovating means inviting people into the middle of your life. The conversations, the planning, and how we leave the jobsite matter as much as the finished room.

Let’s talk about the numbers
Good plans start with an honest cost conversation.
Layout, structure, finishes, and the home’s existing condition all shape the budget. Start with what you hope to do; work toward a scope you understand.
Meet Bard
Still close to the craft.
Still here for the people.
For Robert Brace, a home is more than a collection of rooms. It’s the backdrop to the people and stories inside. Bard brings a family tradition of building to the work, one home at a time.
More about Bard ↗A few good questions
Before we talk.
Can we talk before I have plans?
Yes. Start with what you hope to change and what isn’t working today. The first conversation helps identify the questions to explore before committing to detailed plans.
Do you work in my part of Austin?
Tell us the city or ZIP where you’re considering work. Bard will discuss coverage and project fit with you before arranging the next step.
What makes a remodel complex?
Moving walls, changing the layout, or working with structure, plumbing, wiring, and heating or cooling can make a remodel more involved. Those decisions need to be considered together.
Is pre-construction a paid service?
Detailed planning is a separate commitment. Discuss the scope, planning outputs, and fee with Bard before agreeing to that stage. Sending an inquiry does not commit you to paid work.
Can we stay home during the work?
It depends on the work and the rooms affected. Access, utilities, dust, children, pets, and your daily routine are part of the planning conversation.
When could our project begin?
Timing depends on the scope, design, approvals, selections, and crew availability. Share your hopes for timing so Bard can discuss a realistic next step.

you have in mind.
