OUR STORY

21 years of Building and Designing Together

Keith and Kristen have a passion for helping land and homeowners make their dream spaces a reality. They love bringing unique projects to life with quality craftsmanship and creativity. Their journey to being a design and build team has been a long one spanning over 21 years of dating and marriage.

Keith bought Kristen's building in 2001 and after seeing how messy her room was decided he was in love. If this girl can live in here she can live in a construction zone. Their very first summer of dating he wooed her by making her paint ceilings in his newest rental property. They ended up acquiring and renovating 3 more college rental houses, renovating 2 houses for themselves, building a house for Keith's mom all while Keith was working in a high paced commercial construction company and Kristen was teaching Pilates full time.

After spending several years in commercial construction as a project manager building public schools, Keith switched over to home renovations in the historic neighborhood of Northside in Cincinnati, OH. During that time he helped a couple flip a $50,000 house into a $465,000 money maker. Built an ADA compliant mother-n-law cottage for a blind grandmother. His last project in Ohio was a 200 year old farm house that needed an addition to create space for a functional modern farmhouse kitchen to accommodate a family of 8.
