T.A. Todd Construction is a small, focused Georgetown business owned and managed by Tim Todd. Tim and his team manage high-end, complex remodels with the utmost care and professionalism. Their work not only enhances the quality of life for their clients but also contributes to the ongoing improvement and preservation of The Georgetown community.
Through dedication, expertise, and a client-first approach, T.A. Todd Construction continues to build not just homes, but lasting relationships.
Established in 1987, Tim’s passion for building has its roots in a family tradition of craftsmanship and a love for outdoor work. His early journey to becoming a respected remodeler and contractor actually began without a clear career path. Growing up as an army brat and the son of a retired colonel turned school director, Tim found himself working as a carpenter in Austin in the late 1970s on various jobs and discovering his passion for construction work. Fortunately for Georgetown, his early experiences in carpentry, remodeling, and concrete construction laid the foundation for his future success.
Evolution and Growth
In the early 1980s, Todd formed his first construction company working with his brothers on concrete construction projects near UT and all around the Austin area. Despite the periodic economic downturns and personal setbacks in the 1980s, he persevered, eventually moving to Georgetown in 1987. Here, he started T.A. Todd Construction and Remodeling, focusing on high-quality, client-centric renovation projects. By 2004, the business incorporated, expanding its services to include larger, more complex residential and commercial remodels.
T.A. Todd’s U.S.P.
Renowned for their work on older properties in Old Town Georgetown, the company’s unique selling proposition is often reflected in his collaborations with Preservation Georgetown to maintain the historic charm of the area. One notable project involved transforming a property across from Southwestern University, ensuring it retained its historical significance while meeting modern standards.
But what really sets T.A. Todd Construction apart is the unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. Tim and his team treat every client as a priority, ensuring their needs and preferences are met with meticulous attention to detail. The company’s motto, “We Build Quality of Life,” reflects their dedication to enhancing clients’ living spaces, making them more functional, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing.
Personal Ethos
Tim says he finds great reward in the creative aspect of remodeling — transforming spaces and witnessing the tangible results of hard work. He also takes great care to emphasize the importance of setting realistic expectations for clients, educating them on the true costs and timelines of renovation projects. “This honesty has sometimes cost me jobs,” he says, “but it is more important for me to foster clients’ awareness that remodeling is not like the flipping shows we see on television. On the plus side, that has contributed to our company’s reputation for integrity and trustworthiness.” He adds that it is important to him that the 99 percent of upstanding contractors get their due credit for honest and quality work.
Beyond his professional achievements, Todd is deeply committed to giving back to the community. He has been involved in various local organizations, including the Georgetown Housing Authority and the Williamson Museum, where he currently serves as board president. His participation in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry underscores his dedication to promoting integrity and excellence within the profession. Tim also values mentoring the next generation, sharing his knowledge and passion for construction with young people and nurturing a lasting legacy of excellence.
