RisherMartin Fine Homes Named 2011 Texas Remodeler of the Year

admin-risher — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:41:37 +0000

On October 22, 2011, RisherMartin Fine Homes was recognized by the Texas Association of Builders with their Grand Award for “Remodeler of the Year”. The Texas Association of Builders annual “Star Awards” is the only statewide tribute to excellence in the home building industry. These awards showcase the outstanding work of builders, remodelers, architects, designers, and industry leaders in Texas. In addition to the Remodeler of the Year, RisherMartin was honored with four Star Awards including Best Kitchen Renovation, Best Addition, as well as two awards recognizing our professional business practices.

It goes without saying – you cannot perform award winning work without great clients and terrific projects. We would like to extend a big thank you to the many clients who trusted us with their homes this past year – without your faith and support we would not have any award winning projects to showcase. In addition to great clients, we had the pleasure of collaborating with many talented architects and designers. Our job is to execute their inspired vision, and in doing so, their work becomes our own. Lastly, as a construction management firm, the work we do every day is the result of partnering with Austin’s finest subcontractors and suppliers. The quality of our work is simply a reflection of the care and excellence they provide our clients on a daily basis.

This has been a ground breaking two years for RisherMartin. The collective efforts of our architect, designer, vendor, and subcontractor partners have produced eight Star Awards from the Texas Association of Builders, six Gold and five Silver MAX Awards from the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin, and now one Texas Remodeler of the Year accolade. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to an exciting 2012.

Our wins in these and other categories have made us a Finalist in the Grand Award category for “Remodeler of the Year”. The “Texas Remodeler of the Year” will be chosen Oct. 22nd!

We want to thank our clients and architect partners, whose award winning projects make all this possible. Special thanks also to our many committed subcontractors and vendors whose high quality work allows us to consistently deliver great results for our clients. Thanks to everyone who helped us win big at the Star Awards.

Demolition Begins at Burnet Road

We are excited to be under construction at the future RisherMartin headquarters on Burnet Road. This is our second video installment in a series of blogs that will demonstrate how we transform this 75 year old home into a modern office space. This week’s installment shows our demolition progress and sets the stage for us to begin framing the interior and updating the exterior.

Boys & Girls Club Project Kicks Off

Earlier this year, in partnership with Milestone Communities, we donated a kitchen remodel which was auctioned off at the Boys and Girls Club of Austin gala to raise money for this worthy organization. The owners of a Pemberton home won the auction and we started work on their home last week. One of the primary design objectives was to open up the space, by removing several interior walls, which is a common request from our clients. In this case the answer was a 30′ long, 4-ply girder truss. It makes for a very interesting video, so check it out:

Breaking Ground at New RisherMartin Headquarters

admin-risher — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 12:24:42 +0000

We are very excited to announce our latest project…the new RisherMartin Headquarters in Rosedale. Several months ago we purchased a beautiful old home near the intersection of 45th and Burnet Rd. We bought it from the original owner, who occupied it as their primary residence since the mid-30s.

This video blog is the first in an ongoing series we are doing to help our clients understand the many steps involved in renovating old homes. We’ll take you step by step, from demolition all the way through final finish out. We hope to point out many of the pitfalls, challenges, problems and solutions as we convert this charming 75 year old cottage into the future home of RisherMartin Fine Homes.

Please check out our first video installment below, and check back often for updates on our progress.

Welcome to the Star Award winning kitchen for 2010. Awarded by the Texas Association of Builders, we are proud to have produced this award winning project.

The Payoff

Ten months and many man-hours later, this one-of-a-kind custom home is ready for move in. An incredible blending of new, high performance products, the finest construction techniques and classic styling create a timeless finished product.

Quality Craftsmanship

Some things just can’t be rushed. The job built cabinetry and custom trim took three months to install; it was well worth the wait. This space is about to be transformed into the Star Awards “Best Kitchen” for a custom home in 2010.

New? Old?

One of the design goals for this project was to trick the eye. Wash this a renovation or a completely new home? We worked hard to include the details of a home that would have been here for decades.
