Some homes are more than houses, they’re part of the family. For one Texas family, their lakefront property has been a constant through nearly six decades of life. It’s where kids grew up, milestones were celebrated, and new generations came to gather. And as life evolved, so did the home.
Over the years, this family has chosen to remodel their beloved space not once, but three times, each one led by the trusted team at CROSS. These remodels weren’t about replacing memories, but making room for new ones, while preserving the heart of the home that means so much.
Their story is a powerful reminder of how thoughtful design can honor the past while embracing the future. Watch their journey come to life.

From the start, the family’s goal was clear: preserve the soul of the home while bringing it into the future. Together with CROSS, they opened up key areas to create more flow and light, a nod to modern living that still honored the original layout.
Behind the scenes, major upgrades made the home more functional and sustainable. Outdated electrical and plumbing systems were fully consolidated, creating a safer, more efficient infrastructure for everyday life. The kitchen was reimagined with a wet wall for smarter use of space, while the master suite was updated to reflect the family’s current needs, with both luxury and longevity in mind.
This wasn’t just a one-time renovation, it was a partnership. Through each remodel, the family knew they could rely on CROSS not only for craftsmanship, but for care. For listening closely. For honoring what mattered most.
When they talk about their experience, it’s not just about the new finishes or modern upgrades, it’s about trust. It’s about working with people who understood that this home held a lifetime of meaning and who treated the project with the same reverence.
At CROSS, we believe every remodel should be a collaboration, rooted in respect for what’s already there and excitement for what’s possible. This family’s story is one we’re honored to be part of. Because for us, it’s not just about reimagining spaces, it’s about making homes feel even more like home.
If you're ready to remodel with purpose, we’re here to help you build a space that feels like you and grows with you.
