Design · Draft · Build, under one roof
The Fort Worth team that designs, draws, and builds it all
We design it, draw it, and build it. Not three strangers hoping their visions line up.
Bring us a wish list or a bare lot. We carry it the whole way, or step in wherever you’re stuck.
Craft a home that feels like you.
Building your vision
Start wherever you are
Bring your own plans, or nothing but a wish list.
Either way the same crew carries the whole build, and because we design and draft in-house, the plan you approve is the plan that gets built.
Plans from another firm?
Bring them. We’ll price them honestly and build what’s drawn — no redraw, no re-bid.
Start here
Need plans drawn?
Our in-house design and drafting team draws the plan, grounded in what things really cost to build.
Start here
Just a wish list?
Start with nothing but ideas. We’ll walk the space, talk real budget, and carry it from sketch to keys.

The old way
Crafting your dream home doesn’t have to be a nightmare
The designer specs something the budget can’t carry.
The contractor changes it without telling anyone.
And you become the project manager you never wanted to be, eating every gap between their scopes.
Blown budgets. A design nobody owned. That’s the segmented way. It’s the whole reason 6th Ave Homes exists.

Why 6th Ave Homes
Design-build vs. hiring a contractor separately
Thousands of Fort Worth projects: historic down-to-the-studs restorations to ground-up custom homes.
We draft in-house, designs in-house, and builds in-house, so the plan you approve is the plan that gets built, priced cost-plus, every dollar visible.
Hire a designer and a contractor separately and you referee every gap. Hire us and there are no gaps to fall through.

Different words for the same thing: one Fort Worth company that designs, drafts, and builds, and prices it cost-plus, so you see where every dollar goes.
Cost-plus, explained
Construction isn’t cheap. We won’t pretend otherwise.
We bill cost-plus: the real cost, plus one markup you can see.
What a project runs comes down to scope, finishes, and whether we’re moving walls. You get a real range early, not a hopeful one.
How your bill is built
Materials
At cost. Open receipts: you see what we paid.
Labor
At cost. The crew’s real hours, no padding.
One transparent markup
Named up front. The only place we make money.
A real number before we break ground
Not a hopeful one. A real range early, updated honestly.
No padded line items. No mystery bid. How we price each service lives on its page.
Straight answers
What homeowners ask before they build
If your question isn’t here, ask the team. A real person answers.

Do you only work on historic homes?
No. Historic restoration is our roots, and we know Fairmount’s certificates of appropriateness cold, but we build all over Fort Worth, old and new, from remodels to ground-up custom homes.
Can you handle both the design and the build?
Yes. That’s the whole point of us. We design it, draft it, and build it, so the plan you approve is the plan that gets built.
Will you build from plans I already have?
Yes. Bring plans from another firm or contractor and we’ll price them honestly and build them. Or start with nothing but a wish list and our team will draw them.
What size projects do you take?
Full renovations, additions, garage apartments, and new builds: real construction, not single-trade handyman jobs.
How long will my project take?
We won’t pretend there’s a one-size number. A bath refresh and a ground-up build live on different calendars. What we promise: a real, honest schedule before we break ground, set by the same team that designs and builds it, and we keep you in the loop the whole way. No moving targets.
Are you a general contractor or a design-build firm?
Both, in the way that matters. We’re the general contractor who runs your build, and we’re also the designers and drafting team who drew it. That’s what design-build means: one company, one contract, one number, instead of an architect, a designer, and a contractor who’ve never met.
Who’s the best remodeling contractor in Fort Worth?
6th Ave Homes is a Fort Worth design-build contractor specializing in whole-home renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, home additions, and custom new construction. We won’t pretend to be neutral, but Fort Worth Magazine has voted us the Best Home Builder & Remodeler four years running, and the Fort Worth Chamber named us Small Business of the Year. Ask around the neighborhood, then come meet the team and judge for yourself.
Where do you build?
Across Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the close-in towns east toward Aledo, roughly 25 minutes from downtown. Our drafting and design travel much further; construction stays where we can show up.
Where we build in Fort Worth
That’s our construction radius: Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the close-in towns east through Parker County. Close enough to show up, every time. From Mistletoe Heights to Tanglewood, our neighborhood renovation work runs across all of them. (Our drafting and design travel much further.)

Wondering how to upgrade on a smaller budget?
Start here, this weekend
Some of our clients save for years before the big project. That doesn’t mean you can’t make a real difference on a smaller budget today. “3 Renovation Tips to Add Insane Value to Your Home” is the free guide we hand them: three moves you can put to work this weekend.
Done wrong vs. done right
A renovation done wrong costs you twice: once in money, once in the year of your life you spend refereeing it.
Done right, it’s the home you stop wanting to leave. That’s the one we build.
