Where We Build · 02
The Heights — new work that belongs on an old street.
Little Rock's most established neighborhood asks something extra of a builder — work that stands beside homes with eighty years of history and doesn't flinch.
The Heights doesn’t forgive careless work. Its streets are lined with homes that have been loved for generations, and anything new — an addition, a second story, a fresh residence on an infill lot — is measured against them the day the scaffolding comes down.
We like that standard. Much of our renovation practice lives in this neighborhood: kitchens rebuilt for how families actually cook, additions whose rooflines you can’t tell from original, older homes quietly re-engineered behind their plaster. One of those renovations sits in our selected work.
If your Heights home needs to grow — or you’ve found a lot on a street you love — we’d be glad to walk it with you.
What we build in The Heights
I.
Whole-home renovation
Opening floor plans, rebuilding kitchens, adding light — while keeping the bones and character that made you buy the house.
II.
Additions & second stories
Growing a Heights home without breaking its proportions — matched rooflines, matched materials, seams you can't find.
III.
New infill residences
Ground-up homes on established streets, scaled and detailed to sit comfortably beside their older neighbors.
Common questions — The Heights
Can you renovate an older Heights home without losing its character?
That's most of what we do here. The trick is knowing what to keep — original floors, casings, proportions — and where the house can honestly become new. We've refined that judgment over twenty years.
How disruptive is a major renovation? Can we live in the house?
It depends on scope. For whole-home work we'll be honest — moving out for the heavy phase is usually worth it. For kitchens and additions we stage the work to keep you comfortable, and we leave the site clean every Friday.
How long does an addition take?
Most renovations and additions run four to twelve weeks once plans and permits are set. We give you an itemized schedule before we start, and a weekly update every Friday after.

Every residence begins with a conversation. No plans are required. No price is asked of you. We meet at your site, or over coffee, and we listen.
