TRS Build Featured in the 2025 NARI Home Tour

Annemarie Diaz • August 26, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that TRS Build has been selected to participate in this year’s NARI Austin Home Tour—a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and the finest in home remodeling.


The Home Tour is one of Austin’s most anticipated events, offering homeowners the unique opportunity to step inside beautifully remodeled spaces, meet and connect with talented building and remodeling professionals, and be inspired for their next project!


Get your tickets today at the Austin NARI website!


Located in the Northwest Hills of Austin, the project was designed by local architect Paul DeGroot, and featured in the October 2024 issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine as part of their cover story on Designed for Wildfire Country. Paul provided a sleek architectural design, while TRS Build provided construction and guided the homeowners through final material and color selections,  from the perfect tile and paint shade to the warm hue of the cumaru hardwood ceiling that gives the project its signature look.


We are excited to have this WUI (Wildlife Urban Interface) compliant home porch project included in this year's tour, a stunning example of how thoughtful design and quality construction can transform everyday living. 

Design for Wildfire Article

Austin's WUI Code is designed to mitigate the risk of wildfires. Features that enable this project to be compliant with the WUI regulations include a Class A rated cumaru hardwood ceiling, steel structure, and tile and concrete for the porch floor. As you can see in the photos, these elements don't just make the porch wildfire resistant, they also make it a beautiful, contemporary space that aligns perfectly with the existing home.


The area covered by WUI regulations recently both expanded in coverage and in the level of restrictions. On July of this year, the area covered by the WUI expanded to over 51% of the City of Austin, and additional standards went into effect for projects in this area.

The Story Behind the Project


The homeowners wanted to expand their space with a
covered patio that was elegant, functional, and perfect for year-round enjoyment with their growing family.


The result? A clean, contemporary outdoor living space that feels like an extension of the home. With wide steel-supported spans and no intrusive posts, the design maintains an open, inviting feel while standing up to Central Texas weather. Add a ceiling fan helps make the space comfortable even during our warm Austin summer evenings.


Come say hi and check out our project and the work of other dedicated, reputable, Austin NARI builders and remodelers on this year's tour!
