Inside, the home continues its disciplined aesthetic—open, airy, and rooted in natural texture. White oak floors, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops create a neutral foundation that highlights the home’s architectural lines. The open floor plan connects kitchen, dining, and living areas, while expansive window walls extend sightlines into the landscape.
Mechanical and structural systems are discreetly integrated for comfort and performance. High-efficiency insulation, HVAC zoning, and moisture control ensure long-term durability and efficiency. Outdoor living areas—terraces, porches, and patios—mirror the main structure’s material language, with continuous stone and wood elements that blur the boundary between interior and exterior.
Every joint, reveal, and finish at Summit Ridge exemplifies CarsonSpeer Builders’ dedication to authenticity, proportion, and craftsmanship. This modern Southern residence stands as a testament to timeless design—crafted to endure, inspire, and live beautifully within its mountain setting.

This home was another 100% brick exterior with only a small amount of siding above the roofline and on the chimney. The original wood fascia, soffit, trim, and upper siding had reached the end of their life, so we replaced everything with new James Hardie products for long‑term durability and a cleaner architectural look.
We also upgraded the porch by removing the outdated columns and installing modern Hardie column wraps to give the entryway a stronger, more contemporary presence. Once all new materials were installed, we finished the exterior with two coats of Sherwin‑Williams Emerald Rain Refresh, providing a smooth, durable, low‑maintenance finish built for Houston’s climate.
If your brick home needs fascia, soffit, trim, or upper‑story siding replaced, Deskins Siding & Exteriors delivers expert Hardie installation throughout Cypress, Tomball, and Northwest Houston.

When our long-term clients purchased this home in Sherman Oaks, we helped them turn the backyard into a space they could actually use with a backyard upgrade and pool remodel. We rebuilt the pool and added a custom deck area with built-in bench seating for everyday use and small gatherings. We also designed and installed an outdoor BBQ kitchen with a durable basalt countertop that complements the interior. To break up the space, we added paving, stepping stones, and low-maintenance groundcover planting for texture and easier upkeep. We finished it off with wood elements and neutral tones to bring everything together into a practical and inviting backyard.

This Redmond, WA outdoor living transformation replaced an aging deck with a beautifully crafted 288-square-foot ground-level composite deck and custom freestanding timber-frame patio cover.

The custom timber-frame structure includes a striking king-post design, tongue-and-groove pine soffit, integrated lighting, electric heaters, future-ready ceiling fan wiring, and multiple convenience outlets.

This Edmond, OK backyard was transformed into a functional outdoor kitchen and entertaining space with the addition of an EaglePatio 10'x10' aluminum louvered pergola. Previously exposed to direct sun and unpredictable weather, the area is now designed for comfortable, all-season use.
The adjustable louvered roof allows the homeowner to easily control sunlight, airflow, and shade throughout the day—opening the louvers for ventilation while cooking, or closing them for protection during rain. Positioned directly over the outdoor kitchen, the pergola creates a defined, covered zone that enhances both usability and visual appeal.
With its modern aluminum structure and clean lines, the pergola complements the home’s exterior while adding long-term durability and low maintenance. The result is a versatile outdoor living space perfect for cooking, dining, and hosting guests in any weather.

After: Relocating the closet entrance to the bedroom allowed us to update the design and priortize openness and comfort. We removed the outdated tub to create a larger shower footprint, allowing for the installation of extended glass doors and a luxurious new shower experience.

New flooring features “Atrium Marte” porcelain tile in a soft Perla finish, while the cream ceramic wall tile and Fiorito mosaic shower floor with a “Tumbled Cobble” texture provide visual interest and a spa-like vibe. A fold-down 16” teak shower seat and thermostatic shower system with multi-function heads were added for long-term comfort and accessibility. The mid-century modern mirror and matching Composition Collection sconces complete the transformation with a touch of timeless elegance.
