Avenue B Development

We worked with Jeff from day one on our historical home renovation and as first time home buyers he guided us and our home through the updating process. Avenue B has a sensitivity to historicism that I don’t think we could have found in another contractor or renovation company.
Our house was in disrepair from being uninhabited for over a year and having Jeff on our side made it a lot easier to have the confidence to jump into the project. One of the things I was initially impressed by was his willingness to see the home and meet with me even before we were working together. When interviewing contractors it seemed like many were not even interested in working with us or the property– the Avenue B team jumped right in.
He definitely does not shy away from homes that need a lot of love. The only thing we did not have to touch was our foundation and our brick façade (although it did get a power washing and some masonry repairs :). For example we had gorgeous original oak floors that needed some clean up. He created a look that seamed in new oak flooring to the old oak where there had been layers of linoleum over the wood.
What sets Avenue B apart:
–transparency
–access
–ease of permitting
–timeline and budget — on time and on budget
–general attention to aesthetic and detail
–willingness to help you understand more about your home/​city code even if it isn’t part of the scope of the project
–desire to please and get results even when you have unique exacting taste
–team of vendors — he works with the best in Austin– I sourced handmade tiles and was pretty nervous about them even being able to be installed. The crew did a fantastic job and worked tirelessly– also so happy to connect you with vendors from his network
The Avenue B team was very in tune with the overall aesthetic of the project. Jeff was able to bring a trained eye to things like paint color and lighting spacing that you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a contractor. Things definite change from the plan on paper to the reality in an older home and he was always ahead of those issues. At the end of the day I think we really lucked out — getting to have Avenue B work with us.
