THE RIGHT STAGE Building & Remodeling
Mid-Century Meets Modern

What was your experience as a client with THE RIGHT STAGE?
“THE RIGHT STAGE was an absolute pleasure to work with. I worked with THE RIGHT STAGE to remodel (almost) my entire house with a focus on main living areas and kitchen. Their spirit of collaboration and transparency led to the best possible outcome - a house that is loved by the owner as well as guests! I would use them for any future remodeling efforts.
- Philip R, Review posted on Houzz
When we met Philip, we knew we would work well together. He had a clear and beautiful vision for his Austin home overlooking the hills off of Capital of Texas highway. And best of all, his enthusiasm for his project was infectious! Two key features with this project were the removal of a fireplace, mantle and chimney encased with windows overlooking the pool, and a complete renovation of the kitchen to modernize and dramatically improve functionality with a new layout and cabinetry with all the gadgets.
Whereas many of our clients look to THE RIGHT STAGE to provide design, layouts, and material selections through completion of construction, Philip had already made many selections on his own and was looking for a company that could be flexible and work with him as a team to create his vision.
We were thrilled when he decided to work with us. We began with the living area!
Let’s Open the Living Area
A key challenge with this project - removing a fireplace, mantle and chimney encased in glass overlooking the pool. THE RIGHT STAGE safely demolished the fireplace, mantle and chimney, prepared the wall for the installation of new windows, and patched and secured the roof where the chimney had once been.
An Entertainer’s Kitchen
For the kitchen, we worked with our cabinetry team to help Philip select the perfect cabinetry and colors to create the modern kitchen he was looking for.
White carrara quartz countertops with European lacquer white and dark grey cabinets provide both the functionality needed in this high-use kitchen and a beautiful modern integration with the mid-century theme for living, dining and breakfast areas. The white and grey glass mosaic backsplash was the perfect selection to keep the clean look.
Moving the oven from the island to the wall allows for use of the island as a prep area and the range cooktop to be vented to the outdoors via a wall hood.
It was great working with Philip!
For us at THE RIGHT STAGE, providing value and quality come after listening to our client and ensuring a clear understanding of their goals and concerns. We were very grateful for the open channel of communication we had with Phillip, his trust in our company, and the results reflected it!
Thank you, Philip, for choosing and trusting us, we had a great time with you!
At TRS Build , we believe having good processes in place is essential to support efficient and smooth project delivery, from initial project development through design and construction. That is why we take great pride in our Design-Build process, ensuring every project we take on in Austin , Georgetown , and surrounding areas is completed with the utmost care and attention to detail. From the initial design consultation to the final walk-through, our goal is to provide a seamless and rewarding experience for our clients while delivering outstanding results. If you’re considering a home remodel , home addition , or custom home in Austin , understanding the process can help you feel confident in your decision to move ahead with a home remodel or construction. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of working with TRS Build from design to completion, giving you insight into what makes our approach unique and why it’s trusted by homeowners throughout the Austin area.
The home foundation - one of the unsung heroes of new construction! It lacks the natural beauty of a hardwood ceiling, the refined finish of fine tile, the sparkle of a new quartz counter. It has its brief but fabulous moment as the star of the show when first breaking ground, then is soon covered by beautiful things that will carry all of the attention and applause. A good foundation's raison d'etre is to be forgotten below the beauty and never thought of again. But as builders we know, that massive block of cement (or collection of piers and beams) is one of the most crucial components of a new home or home addition, and deserves consideration as well for a major home remodel. When embarking on any home project, a key player in the final product that cannot be overlooked is the foundation. At TRS Build , we understand that a strong foundation is, literally ... the cornerstone of every successful new build and home addition. Whether you’re adding a room to your home, undertaking a complete remodel, or building from the ground up, the foundation ensures the long-term stability and durability of your entire project. In this blog post, we’ll explain why stability and durability begin with a solid foundation, and how we make sure the foundation of every TRS Build project is done right.
My husband (who is also my business partner, apparently we truly can’t get enough of each other!) frequently says that we will become like the five people we spend the most time with, that we are shaped by the environment we choose to immerse ourselves in, and more importantly, the people in that environment. I think the same is true of our companies. That is why at TRS Build we choose to surround ourselves with fellow members of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) . I was reminded of that this month during our Austin NARI Builder and Developer Roundtable meeting where I had the opportunity to engage with like-minded business owners, exchange ideas on what is working best to deliver to our clients, employees, and tradespeople, and I could personally share from our SERVICE value focus and the importance of trust and remaining trustworthy to our clients and team. We choose to spend time with other NARI members because they run reputable businesses, provide amazing results, and like ourselves, invest in knowing other reputable contractors and finding opportunities for us to learn from one another. Each of our companies is different in our value proposition and project focus, but we are all the same in our drive to raise the bar on customer experience and affirm the trust we have established over years or even decades of delivering to homeowners in and around Austin.
