New Home Construction in The Heights, Houston
Building a new home in The Heights means designing for a neighborhood with a strong character of its own. Nuvo Builders builds new homes across The Heights and Houston’s inner-loop neighborhoods, designed to match the look of the street while giving you the space, layout and comfort of a modern home.
Our owner and general contractor, David Wennagel, started out renovating historic Heights homes in 1998 and grew Nuvo Builders to offer new build construction alongside renovation and restoration. Because we’ve worked on so many of the neighborhood’s older houses, we understand the proportions, porches and rooflines that help a new home fit in rather than stand out.

- New homes designed to suit the neighborhood
- Modern layouts and finishes built around how you live

- Member of the Greater Houston Builders Association
