Built by people who’ve spent decades in the trades

Austin ProBuild was founded by three people who collectively bring field experience, operational discipline, and systems thinking to every remodel. We started this company because we saw a gap — homeowners deserved a general contractor that communicated clearly, planned before demo, and stayed accountable from start to finish.

The people behind your project

Edgar Santiago, co-founder of Austin ProBuild general contracting in Austin, Texas
Edgar Santiago
Co-Founder
Edgar Santiago has spent his career building credibility in the trades, one project at a time. He got his start at Renaissance Stone Works, where he developed an early foundation in construction and craftsmanship. Over the past thirteen years, he has built deep expertise in countertop and stone fabrication — work he remains actively involved in today. In 2021, he and Diana co-founded Ideal Granite & Stoneworks, which has since completed over 100 projects and earned a reputation built almost entirely on word of mouth. Homeowners and contractors alike seek Edgar out when they need trusted connections across the trades — a reflection of the credibility he's built over more than a decade in this industry. Austin ProBuild is the natural extension of that network and that standard.
Edgar is bilingual in English and Spanish.
Diana Ruiz, co-founder of Austin ProBuild general contracting in Austin, Texas
Diana Ruiz
Co-Founder
Diana Ruiz is the operational force behind both Ideal Granite & Stoneworks and Austin ProBuild. With years of experience managing the administrative and financial side of construction projects, she has built the systems, relationships, and processes that keep complex builds running smoothly. At Ideal Granite & Stoneworks, Diana oversees every project from intake through closeout — managing client communication, trade scheduling, vendor relations, and the day-to-day coordination that most people never see but always feel when it's missing. She's not just the person who manages the business — she builds it. Diana's entrepreneurial instincts and operational precision are what make the ProBuild Method work in practice, not just on paper.

Jazmine Lumpan, co-founder of Austin ProBuild general contracting in Austin, Texas
Jazmine Lumpan
Co-Founder
Jazmine Lumpan brings something most construction companies don't have: a scientist's approach to process. With a background in clinical laboratory science and R&D, she joined Edgar and Diana as co-founder of Austin ProBuild to build what the trades industry consistently lacks — clear systems, documented processes, and a client experience that feels organized from the first call to final walkthrough. At Austin ProBuild, Jazmine leads systems development, quality standards, and marketing — making sure the ProBuild Method doesn't just exist on paper, but actually shows up in every project. She is the reason this company runs the way it does.
Jazmine speaks English and Filipino (Tagalog).

We put our names and faces on this work because we believe in it

WHERE WE COME FROM

Our origin story

Austin ProBuild grew out of a real gap in the market — one we saw up close.

Edgar and Diana built Ideal Granite & Stoneworks into a trusted countertop and stone business with over 100 completed projects. Along the way, clients kept asking the same thing: "Can you help us coordinate the rest of the remodel?" Contractors reached out for trade connections. Homeowners asked for referrals they could trust.

That demand didn't go away. We built Austin ProBuild to meet it — bringing the same supplier access, trade network, and field-tested standards that made Ideal Granite & Stoneworks successful, and wrapping them in a structured general contracting process built for homeowners who want clarity, not chaos.

TRADE NETWORK

A network built over decades

We coordinate trusted local trade partners across plumbing, electrical, tile, carpentry, and more - relationships built through years of working in the Austin market, not through a directory. Every trade partner we work with is vetted, accountable, and managed as part of one cohesive team.
