Fate.

Fate has grown faster than almost any city its size in Texas, and nearly all of that growth is master planned neighborhoods built inside the last twenty years. It gives the city an unusually consistent housing stock: sound structures, open floor plans already in place, and finishes chosen by a builder to hit a price rather than to last.

So the work here is almost never structural and almost always finish level. Replacing builder tile with something with actual depth to it, taking a plain backsplash up to the cabinets in real stone, putting a proper waterproofed tile shower where the original was a fiberglass insert, and running better flooring through the main living areas. These are the upgrades that change how a house feels without touching a wall, and because the neighborhoods are built to a handful of repeated plans we have usually worked the same layout before and can price it accurately from the walkthrough. A note that matters here: newer slabs in these subdivisions are frequently post tension, and nobody should be coring or drilling one without locating the cables first.
