A beautiful home is the part everyone sees. What makes it last on this coast is everything behind the walls: the structure, the water protection and the care in every detail.
Salt air, humidity, wind and storm surge test every decision in a coastal home. The difference between a house that ages beautifully and one that doesn't is decided long before the finishes go on. So that's where we put our attention first.
We build every home as if it were our own, because our name stays on it long after the keys change hands.
Storms are a fact of life here, so strength isn't an upgrade in our homes. It's the starting point. Every Christensen home is designed and built to stand up to the wind and water this coast delivers.
Structural design and connections detailed for South Texas wind loads, tying the roof, walls and foundation together so the house works as one.
Windows, doors and garage doors are where storms find weakness. We specify them to meet the wind requirements for each site.
Every home is built to the flood and elevation requirements of the community it stands in, on the foundation the site calls for.
Windstorm inspections follow the work as it's built, so you finish with the documentation your insurer will ask for.
Wind makes the headlines, but water is the coast's most patient threat. Wind-driven rain, humidity and salt spray look for any gap they can find. We answer with layers, so no single detail has to do all the work.
Roofing, underlayment and flashing specified as a system, with special care at every edge, valley and penetration.
Each opening is flashed and sealed so water that reaches it is directed back out, not in.
Waterproofed where water collects, with drainage planned so it never has anywhere to sit.
Grading and drainage that carry rain away from the house, and air conditioning sized to keep indoor humidity in check.
Before a single piece of siding, stucco or roofing goes on, we waterproof and seal every panel of the house. Not most of them. Every one.
It's work you'll never see once your home is finished, and that's exactly why we refuse to skip it. It is the line between a home that stays dry for decades and one that quietly lets water in. For us it isn't an upgrade or an option. It's how we protect you and the people you love.
The whole exterior shell of the house gets its own waterproof layer, panel by panel, so there are no weak spots.
Water looks for the gaps between panels and around every opening. We close them all.
We look over the sealed shell before the finishes go on, because once it's covered, it's too late to fix.
A fixture that looks perfect on day one can pit and stain within a season by the water. We select every material for how it will look in ten years, not just how it looks in the showroom.
Fasteners, fixtures and hardware selected for high-salinity exposure, inside and out.
Exterior finishes, decking and railings chosen to handle sun, salt and humidity with sensible upkeep.
Appliances, plumbing and lighting from makers we rely on, chosen for how they perform and how they hold up.
True luxury isn't a list of upgrades. It's a door that closes with a soft, solid sound, tile that lines up perfectly at every corner, and trim that still looks crisp years later. We build with the finest subcontractors in the region, and Darren and Alexis are on site to make sure every detail meets our standard.
