Welcome to KEYE TV’s About The House dedicated to connecting homeowners with information for do-it-yourselfers and when a project is a little too big to local contractors and builders. We believe that Austin is in a unique position.
People want to live in this beautiful city. But Austin’s climate and housing market presents homeowners with unique challenges. We want to bring regionally useful information and help Austin homeowners connect with builders and resellers they can trust at prices that are affordable.
