Specialties
Enso Homes is a design-build remodeling company in Austin, Texas. Every project is designed, priced, and scheduled before construction begins, so kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole home renovations, additions, garage conversions, and exterior work go as planned, on a fixed-price contract. We work in Austin's established neighborhoods, including Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Zilker, Travis Heights, Clarksville, Westlake, and beyond. Materials are chosen for how you'll live for the next 20 years, not just what photographs well: durable, non-toxic, and mold-resistant, built for Austin's climate. Before a wall comes down, you see full renderings, line-item pricing, and a complete schedule you sign off on. During construction, your home is sealed with floor-to-ceiling containment and HEPA filtration, you get photos and a written update every working day in your client portal, and the final 10% isn't billed until the punch list is complete and you've signed off. The Enso Guarantee: If design missed it, the cost is ours.
History
Established in 2024.
Josh Reed grew up in an Earthship outside Austin, a home his dad built from dirt, tires, and recycled materials that kept its rooms cool through Texas summers and its air clean enough that no one got sick. Years later, running a property management company that grew to more than $250 million under management, he hired remodel contractors for a living and kept looking for one that planned everything before it built, designed for mold-resistance, and ran their company on on reliable systems. That company didn't exist. So he and Alix Spruce built it, around one standard: the parts of your home you'll never see deserve the same care as the parts you will. We're not trying to be a better version of the remodeling industry. We're building a different one.
Meet the Business Owner: Alix S.
Alix Spruce is an Austin native and co-founder of Enso Homes, where she shapes how the company looks, feels, and works with people. Before Enso, she closed more than $120M in Texas real estate and helped scale a New York based prop-tech startup to a $1 billion valuation. She brings that high-performance background to a more human mission: homes that support the nervous system and elevate daily life. A certified Pilates instructor, she reads the labels on everything, what's in the food, the clothing, the finishes, and that scrutiny runs through every material Enso specs. Her design baseline is minimalism grounded in earthy detail, the kind of pairing that feels as good as it looks. That baseline became the Enso standard, in the designs and in the experience around them.
