See our before, during, and after photos. After nearly 20 years in our 100-year-old home—and a previously failed full remodel attempt with another design/build firm—we were hesitant to try again. Then I read Ed Sabo’s book on remodeling historic homes and realized his office was right in our neighborhood. That convinced me he truly understood historic home renovation, older home construction challenges, and the unique considerations of Houston historic neighborhoods.

From our very first meeting, Ed exceeded expectations. We explored every possible option: using our prior plans, doing a small or moderate remodel, taking on a major whole-home renovation, or even a full teardown. Not once did I feel pressured or oversold—something rare in the custom home building world. Ed even brought in a trusted architect to provide seasoned, expert opinions.

Ultimately, we decided to turn our historic home into exactly what we wanted. And Sabo Custom Builders delivered beyond anything we imagined.

***Outstanding communication & project management***

Every night, our project manager Casey updated the Sabo online portal with a clear summary of:

What was completed
What was in progress
What was coming next

The transparency, organization, and professionalism were unmatched. No surprises, no vague timelines—just honest, accurate communication, which is priceless during a major renovation.

***Exceptional craftsmanship & cost management***

The attention to detail from every trade was outstanding. Ed and Casey managed the project with precision, efficiency, and genuine pride in their work. They handled the inevitable challenges of renovating a century-old home so seamlessly we barely noticed them. This is exactly why you hire a high-quality Houston custom builder with real experience in complex remodels.

The finished result is extraordinary

We went from a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with a glorified shed to a beautifully redesigned, modern, structurally sound home that includes:

5 bedrooms
5 bathrooms
Separate quarters
Outdoor kitchen & entertaining space
Extensive storage solutions
Smart home technology
Beautiful, functional, durable finishes throughout
It feels like a brand-new home while still honoring the original character of our historic property.

If you're searching for the best custom home builders in Houston, Houston whole home renovation experts, historic home remodelers

Ed and Casey knocked it out of the park. Professional, transparent, skilled, and genuinely invested in their clients. Absolutely above and beyond on every measure. I’m thrilled to be finished so we can enjoy this beautiful home, but I already miss Ed and Casey!

Highest possible recommendation.

Ed Sabo and his team are top notch. When you hire Sabo you get to let go of any of typical builder concerns. He is not going to gouge you, will do it right the first time if at all possible, will tell you if a mistake gets made and the way it will be corrected, and when all is done you will be happy. It does not get better than that. Oh. And I am saying that as both a lawyer and a designer who has worked with Sabo Custom Builders on a custom build of a new home and back house. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. So get your ideas together and get on his list as soon as possible. If you don't make decisions well or quickly, hire a designer.

Ed Sabo did a full home renovation and large addition to our Heights home and we couldn’t be happier. He was communicative, professional, and worked personally with us to create our dream home. He was present every step of the way, from meeting with architects and designers to final touch ups and completions. Ed was at the site everyday and kept us updated with pictures and videos through his app which was extremely easy to access and keep track of the project. His subcontractors were reliable and professional and we got to know them well along the way too. As someone who is very type A, Ed satisfied all of my personal wants and desires for everything to be perfect and timely. We found Ed through word of mouth and have recommended him to many close friends as we are very pleased with our home!

Sabo Custom Builders helped us design and construct our new home in Houston. They did a great job at all steps of the build.

Casey was the project manager. He kept us informed every day during the build.

From design to delivery, we were partners in the process. We had not built a home before, and Ed patiently escorted us through each step.

If I were to build another home, I would have Ed Sabo build it.
