Luxury Remodeling
Transforming existing properties into modern masterpieces across the Highland Lakes.
Elevating Existing Homes to Westway Standards
Finding the perfect location in the Texas Hill Country—especially coveted waterfront property on Lake LBJ or a prime lot in Horseshoe Bay—often means purchasing an older home. At Westway Custom Builders, our Luxury Remodeling division specializes in taking these existing structures and completely reimagining them to meet modern luxury standards.
A high-end remodel requires a different skill set than ground-up construction. It demands an intimate understanding of structural engineering, the ability to seamlessly blend new additions with existing architecture, and the foresight to anticipate and solve hidden challenges behind the drywall. With over 20 years of experience, our team possesses the technical expertise required for complex, large-scale renovations.
Comprehensive Renovation Services
We do not undertake minor cosmetic updates. Our focus is on comprehensive, whole-home transformations and significant structural additions that fundamentally change how a home looks, feels, and functions.
- Whole-Home Renovations: Complete interior and exterior overhauls, updating floor plans for modern, open-concept living.
- Structural Additions: Expanding the footprint of your home with new wings, second-story additions, or detached guest casitas.
- Gourmet Kitchens & Spa Baths: Designing and installing state-of-the-art culinary spaces and luxurious, resort-style master bathrooms.
- Outdoor Living Spaces: Creating expansive covered patios, custom outdoor kitchens, and integrating the home with the surrounding Hill Country landscape.
The Remodeling Process
Remodeling an existing home while you are living in it, or managing it from afar, requires meticulous planning and communication. We apply the same rigorous project management protocols to our remodels as we do to our custom builds.
During the pre-construction phase, we conduct thorough site evaluations to identify potential structural or systemic issues before demolition begins. This proactive approach minimizes unexpected costs and delays. Once construction starts, our Head Project Manager, Michael Crause, ensures the site is kept clean, secure, and that the project progresses strictly according to the established timeline.
Whether you are updating a 1990s lake house or expanding a golf course retreat, Westway Custom Builders delivers a finished product that rivals the quality and aesthetic of a brand-new custom home.

Luxury Remodeling FAQs
What size remodeling projects do you take on?
We specialize in large-scale, comprehensive renovations. This typically includes whole-home remodels, significant structural additions, or extensive exterior overhauls. We generally do not take on single-room cosmetic updates unless they are part of a larger project scope.
Do we need to hire an architect for a remodel?
For significant structural changes or additions, architectural plans are usually required. We can work seamlessly with your chosen architect, or we can recommend trusted local architectural partners who specialize in Hill Country renovations.
Can we live in the home during the renovation?
This depends entirely on the scope of the project. For whole-home renovations, it is usually necessary for the homeowners to relocate temporarily for safety and efficiency. We will discuss this in detail during the pre-construction phase and help you plan accordingly.
How do you handle unexpected issues found during demolition?
In remodeling, uncovering hidden issues (like outdated wiring or water damage) is common. We mitigate this through thorough pre-construction inspections. If an issue arises, we immediately halt work in that area, document the problem, present you with solutions and cost implications, and wait for your approval before proceeding.
