Experience

The Vives Family has been in residential construction for over forty years. From framing to finish-out, insurance adjusting and claims work, to real estate investing and sales. We have seen it all. Sam Vives Sr. framed houses throughout his 20’s. Carpentry gave him such pleasure as it afforded him the opportunity to build homes for people in San Antonio Texas. Afterwards, he began his career in insurance adjusting. Working with Catastrophe teams across the country as an independent adjuster with all the major insurance companies.

Sam Jr. studied finance in North Texas and has been involved in real estate throughout his career. From new and existing home sales to acquisitions, as well as, new construction. His passion in for providing quality service to customers is derived from experiences contrasted environment from the one his father experienced. As a teenager Sr. taught him about framing and learning from other craftsman who really took pride in their work.

Twelve 12 was begun with one intention, create a lasting Texas brand known for quality craftsmanship and focus on its most important asset: people.

Being focused on the outcome of a project has many factors. Some of which are how it looks, and how will it perform? The latter being more important to performance over time. Sales oriented companies can changes a the culture in that it pushes people to sell customers a roof even if they do not need it. Salespeople are ingrained with tools to overcome objection and immediately get a sale. Thats not how we do business.
