Before you move, let's talk about what's actually possible. Chance Leigh builds high-end additions and whole-home renovations across Georgetown and Austin — same quality standard, same subcontractor network as a new build.
Moving costs money. Buying in this market costs more. Most of the time, the house you have — in the neighborhood you already love — is the right house. It just needs a builder who can unlock what it's already capable of.
A master suite on the first floor. A game room for the kids. A dedicated study with proper walls and a door. A garage conversion that becomes livable square footage. These are not theoretical — Chance has permitted and built exactly these additions across Georgetown. At 3 N Sarazen Loop, the permitted scope included a game room, study, and bath addition. These spaces don't require moving. They require the right builder.
Some homes need more than a coat of paint and new fixtures. They need to be rebuilt from the inside out. Chance has taken houses completely to the studs — rewiring, replumbing, reframing — and delivered finished projects in timelines that impress even experienced homeowners. One Austin client watched a full whole-home gut renovation wrap in three months. That's the standard Chance holds himself and his subcontractors to, on every project, regardless of size.
Chance doesn't maintain one set of subcontractors for new builds and another for renovations. The framers, electricians, plumbers, and finish carpenters who show up on your addition are the same vetted, long-tenured trades who show up on his custom homes. That means they're on schedule, they're professional, and they're accountable to a builder who is personally on-site throughout the build.
From a single-room addition to a complete structural overhaul, the scope is yours to define. Here's where Chance has real, documented experience.
Room additions that connect seamlessly to the existing structure — master suites, game rooms, studies, additional baths. Chance handles the structural engineering, permitting, and finish work under one roof. Permitted examples include the game room, study, and bath addition at 3 N Sarazen Loop in Georgetown.
Full gut renovations — down to the studs if the home warrants it. Chance coordinates every trade: demo, framing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and finish. A recent Austin renovation went from demo to move-in in three months. That's not luck — it's scheduling discipline and a crew that shows up.
Accessory structure additions with full electrical and plumbing — permitted, inspected, and built to last. Chance has completed a 572 sq ft accessory building addition at 609 W 15th St in Georgetown, with electric and plumbing rough-in. Garage conversions can become guest quarters, a home office, or a hobby workshop — without touching your primary footprint.
“He took a house to the studs for me here in Austin and completed the project in record time (3 months!) All of his subcontractors were incredible, on schedule and courteous.”
