David Cervantes, founder of Elyse Build, joins The Hidden City to talk about his work building and restoring homes across Oak Cliff. He shares about his journey from working his way up through construction crews to now leading projects that focus on older properties and the process of bringing them back to life. We talk about learning through experience, building a business rooted in relationships, and what it looks like to take on projects that require both preservation and practicality. Along the way, David reflects on the crews he works alongside, the challenges of growing a company, and the role his work plays in shaping the future of Oak Cliff.
