Truly a joy to collaborate with and have the best all around set of skills on their staff. Always honest, upfront on budget and always on time. I look forward to being able to work with them again in the future! **★★★★★ — henryjohs, July 2016** > Trace Ventures completed project on time and on-budget. Outside renovation consisting of all outside wood repainting and or replacement if necessary, removal and replacement of six gables, installation / rebuilding of 6 20' foot front porch columns and installation / electrical of two sconces and hanging lantern. All work done by Mike and Scott with Trace was perfect. Mike, as project manager was an excellent communicator and provide good advise and quick response to all questions. Punch list consisted of 3 small items handled with two business days. Overall a great experience and will use Trace Ventures again. **★★★★★ — Pat Rah, Aug. 2015** > Trace Ventures is simply the most efficient, precise, and project oriented builder we have worked with in over 30 years. We were also able to do a full house remodel from over 600 miles away as a result of the expert communication capability of Trace. However, the best part of Trace is that they make you part of their family because no matter how beautiful the final product is, without the family touch renovation is really hard. Not the Trace way--enjoyed every minute of the process. **Comment from Trace Ventures:** > Gosh, thank you, Pat! Your project was fun and our entire team enjoyed working with you on it. Thanks to your selections and taste, it turned out great. We appreciate the time you took to make this comment, not to mention upload before and afters. Ya'll are the best! **★★★★★ — pjmrch, March 2015** > We hired Trace to add a master, bath/closet/laundry area and to enclose a porch for a sunroom. We could not have been happier with this choice. They helped us see the vision with the design and completed the job in four months. > They were here every day managing the work, mess and traffic--absolutely the best professional we have had on site--patient, efficient and aware of everything going on. The foreman was on top of any changes and responded to any question or change almost immediately. One of our concerns going into this was timing and keeping the waste and traffic contained. Our neighbors never had a complaint during construction--commenting on how helpful, courteous and neat they were. Art and Martha Stinson, besides being the nicest people to know, run a top notch operation that focuses on customer satisfaction and high professional standards, We have already referred them to friends who are equally happy! **Comment from Trace Ventures:** > Thank you for your kind words. It was a great project and we appreciate your business ... and referrals! **★★★★★ — kmcenerney3002, Aug. 2014** > Trace Ventures has done major and minor repair work for me over the years, but the biggest project was a new kitchen which I absolutely love. Trace is professional and honest, and they complete the work in the timeline specified and for the agreed-upon price - there are no surprises. They also communicate regularly by phone or email, and respond quickly to questions or concerns, even after the project is finished. I love my kitchen and appreciate their impeccable design work every day. I cannot recommend them highly enough. **★★★★★ — mimi37212, July 2014** > We have had the pleasure of working with Trace Ventures on numerous projects over the past eight years. Projects ranged from handyman repairs to major remodeling of a kitchen and bath, as well as a dig out and construction of a basement (exercise area, bath, and tornado shelter). All of our experiences have been extraordinary. Everyone has been easy to work with, always considering our desires and lifestyles. The work has been high quality, within budget and proposed time lines. We would recommend Trace Ventures without hesitation. **★★★★★ — kimberlyforrest123, July 2014** > Trace Ventures has done 3 projects for us. The whole process from planning to final walk thru was a pleasure. Art, Martha and Gianni made a home renovation easy. > I never felt like I had to go behind them and check their craftsmanship. Everything was beautiful. Trace took what I had dreamed in my mind and made it into a reality. > Our foreman, Steve Croce, was on the job everyday. He interacted with the workers and "ran the whole show". He was always very accessible either by phone, text or email. He was so easy to get along with. When our job was completed, I told him that I would miss seeing him in the basement everyday. > We recommend Trace Ventures without any hesitations. We would never have any other construction company do a job at our home. **★★★★★ — liliwog, July 2014** > Trace did a great job refinishing and replacing wood floors and repairing sheetrock in our 1885 house. left the house in a remarkably clean state. **★★★★★ — ybinkley, July 2014** > We were very impressed with Trace Venture's work when we went to see a friend's kitchen they have renovated. It was beautiful and impressive. So, we decided to work with them in renovating our kitchen and den. It was the best decision we made. We were assigned a person, Mr. Mike Fly, who stayed at the site everyday and actually we began to see him as family. It was the middle of winter with three dogs in the house. Mike made sure that we had privacy and limited interference with our daily routine. The end result was more than we expected. We love our custom made cabinets, hutch and pantry. Our den is very comfortable and bright. We receive compliments from our friends concerning not only the built-ins but also the quality of work. Thank you Trace Ventures. ## Selected projects - [Luxury High-rise Condo - Downtown Nashville](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-high-rise-condo-downtown-nashville-pj-vj~7432844) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 8 - [Castleman Avenue - Project 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/castleman-avenue-project-1-pj-vj~7395086) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Luxury Condo - Downtown Nashville](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-condo-downtown-nashville-pj-vj~5749387) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: We gutted and combined 2 condo units on the 39th floor of Nashville's 505 Building for a couple moving from California to Nashville.

At the owner’s request, we modified interior wall framing and reworked plumbing and electrical to open the layout and enlarge key spaces making the two units flow as one.

Undeterred, our design-build team came up with a thoughtful plan that offered the modern livability they craved while respecting historical character of Nashville's West End area. We built a rear addition for a first-floor master suite, powder room and kitchen with a walk-out basement. Its hipped roof mirrors the main house’s and fits right under a second-story wind… - [New House in Historic Whitland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-house-in-historic-whitland-pj-vj~605767) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 8 - Description: When this client decided to move to Nashville, she contacted us about designing and building a new infill house to complement her site’s historic streetscape. On the inside, she wanted a free-flowing public area, a first-floor master suite and ready access to outdoor living. Though the project was not in historic zoning, our design-build team approached it as though it were. Careful thought was given to form, massing, size, scale and architectural features. The result is an eclectic mix of vinta… - [Woodmont Boulevard Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodmont-boulevard-addition-pj-vj~615362) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 1 - Description: The desire for additional space for a mother-in-law’s suite and a three-car garage was the impetus for the first project we built for the owners of this 1940 Colonial Revival home in Green Hills. The addition to the right, with staggered pyramid-style roof forms, comes across understated and appropriately subordinate to the original house. A later project transformed the ordinary exterior entrance into a dramatic yet tasteful architectural statement. We removed the front stoop and existing roof… - [Richland Ave. Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/richland-ave-master-bath-pj-vj~605827) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 4 - Description: The homeowners of a 1920 Foursquare asked us to remodel two baths: a full guest bath and a master bath so tiny the wife said she “stood on the toilet to brush her teeth”. They wanted both to be fresh and modern, yet in keeping with the historic character of their home. Our design solution for enlarging the master bath was to remove walls and capture an adjacent bedroom. This tripled the size of the bath and added a spacious closet as well. Highlights include a double vanity with quartz top, cust… [See all 33 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/trace-ventures-pfvwus-pf~1167015797) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Are you licensed and insured?** Yes, we are fully licensed and insured as professional kitchen and bath remodelers.

What wood and finish are on them? A: This is a beech floor. We were matching the original beech floors from 1910 in the rest of the house. The kitchen was an addition and the homeowners wanted the new floors to blend seamlessly with the old ones, which you can see in the family room pictures. The top finish is polyurethane and any staining would have been just to match the existing. It is a very natural look. Hope this helps! **Q: Basement paint colors.** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you tell me the color of paint on the walls? A: Hi, thanks for the question! Unfortunately, we don't have a record of that. The client worked separately with an interior designer on colors. Good luck! **Q: Beautiful! Are the cabinets white or is there a hint of grey in them?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for the question! We researched it and are happy to report that the perimeter cabinets were painted SW7035 Aesthetic White and the island is painted SW7674 Peppercorn. While we've got the file out, the counter top is Whitehall from Cambria, in case you're interested. Good luck! **Q: Light bulbs** *(in Photo Questions)* We bought these exact pendants here in Nashville but cannot find a bright enough 40 watt edison bulb. Where did you find these? This house has given us much inspiration, beautiful work! A: Thank you! The owners said they purchased the pendants and light bulbs at Home Depot. The brightness you are seeing may be due to the can lighting in the ceiling and the under-cabinet lighting, not to mention the photographer's lighting for the shoot and photo editing work. Good luck! **Q: paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Please tell me what the name is and where this paint color can be purchased from? A: Sure thing. The walls are PPG Pittsburg Paint color 516-S Stone Gray: http://www.ppgpittsburghpaints.com/. Not sure if you want the ceiling and trim too, but here it is. The ceiling is Sherwin Williams 6206 Oyster Bay. The trim is Porter Paint 6889-1 Velvet White. Thanks! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-18.*
