Craftsmanship for Mountain Brook’s classic homes
Mountain Brook was planned in the late 1920s as a residential park, and many of its streets are still lined with the Tudor, Colonial Revival and English cottage homes of that era, alongside mid-century ranches and newer custom homes in the hills. These houses are built well – and they are worth renovating with the same level of detail: proportions that match, trim that is milled to profile, and materials that age as gracefully as the originals.
We have remodeled kitchens and bathrooms in Mountain Brook, built a porch addition, finished basements, installed custom glass showers and painted homes inside and out. Our clients here usually want the house to feel more open and more livable – a kitchen that connects to the family room, a true primary suite, a screened porch for most of the year – without losing the character that drew them to the street in the first place.
What to expect working with us
Projects in Mountain Brook come with close neighbors, narrow streets, mature trees and a city that reviews plans carefully. We plan deliveries, parking and dumpsters so the job site stays tidy, we protect landscaping and hardscape, and we keep a clean, organized site every day. Before work begins you get a detailed scope and budget; during construction your project manager keeps you updated every week.
Additions and outdoor living
Many Mountain Brook lots slope away from the street – ideal for a lower-level suite, a finished basement or a covered porch with a view of the trees. We design additions to match the roofline, siding or brick and window style of the original house, so from the street the home looks as if it has always been that way.
