How This List Is Made Using an online survey, Austin Home solicited peer and public nominations, asking voters to nominate up to three interior designers they’ve worked with or know to produce outstanding work. Austin Home then tallied the results, selecting the top percentage of vote recipients before submitting the final list to our fact-checking process.

Companies do not and cannot pay to be a part of the list.

We recognize that many good builders are not included on the list; this is only a sampling of a huge array of talented professionals within the region.

We encourage all consumers to do their own research before selecting a builder.
