The two rooms that decide how a house lives. Layout, plumbing, electrical, cabinets and tile handled by one crew on one schedule.
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Houston is the work we are asked for most, and it is the work where the difference between contractors shows up fastest. These two rooms carry plumbing, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry, tile and counters in a small footprint. Every one of those trades has to arrive in the right order, and a single missed step gets buried behind finished surfaces where fixing it means tearing something out.
We run all of it under one contract and one schedule.
Layout changes, cabinet replacement, countertops, backsplash, appliance rough-in, lighting and flooring. On the 1970s and 1980s housing stock common across the FM 1960 corridor, Spring Branch and Sharpstown, this usually means removing a soffit, opening a wall to the living space, and replacing a fluorescent box light with a real lighting plan.
Opening a wall is a structural question first. If it carries load, it needs a properly sized header and, in most cases, an engineer’s stamp. We determine that before you commit to the layout, not after demolition.
Full gut work, walk-in shower conversions, vanity and fixture replacement, tile, waterproofing and ventilation. Replacing an unused 1990s garden tub with a larger tiled shower is one of the most common requests we get, and it is nearly always the right call for how people actually use the room.
Waterproofing is where bathroom work quietly succeeds or fails. A bonded waterproof membrane behind tile, correct slope to the drain and properly sealed penetrations are not upgrades, they are the reason the wall behind your shower is still dry in ten years.
Curbless showers, blocking set in the wall for grab bars, comfort-height fixtures and slip-resistant tile. If the plan is to stay in the house, the time to install blocking behind the tile is while the wall is open, not after.
Stock, semi-custom or custom cabinets built to the room instead of ordered to the nearest available width. Countertop templating happens after cabinets are set and leveled, which is why cabinet lead time drives the back half of any kitchen schedule.
Most Houston homes sit on a slab foundation, so drain lines are in the concrete. Moving a sink, toilet or shower means cutting or tunneling, and in homes built through the 1960s and 1970s those lines are often cast iron near the end of its service life. Finding that during demolition is common. Budgeting for the possibility beforehand is what separates a smooth job from a stalled one.
Expansive clay soil shifts with the seasons across most of the metro. Tile installed directly over a slab with no crack isolation will eventually telegraph any movement straight through the grout lines. We float and prepare the substrate accordingly.
It drives the ventilation requirements above, and it is why we do not install wood flooring or hang cabinets against surfaces that have not been checked for moisture.
Homes built before the early 1980s can contain asbestos in ceiling texture and floor mastic. Testing before disturbing those materials is the safe path, and we will tell you when a project calls for it rather than sanding first and asking later.
The sequence is the same one we use on every job: walkthrough, written estimate with allowances and exclusions, permits pulled in our name, then build with one point of contact through the final punch list. The detailed version is on our remodeling process page.
Supporting trades are in house, so plumbing, electrical, drywall, wood and tile flooring and painting all answer to the same schedule.
We remodel kitchens and baths across Houston, Katy, Cypress, Spring, Pearland and the rest of our service area, roughly 30 miles out from the city.
Every detail matters. From the foundation to the finish, quality is never an accident.
Kitchens we have finished across the Houston area.
Duration depends on whether plumbing and structure move, so we put a dated schedule in the written estimate rather than quoting a generic number. The three things that stretch a kitchen timeline here are cabinet lead times, permit review when plumbing or electrical is relocated, and countertop templating, which cannot begin until the cabinets are set and level.
Sometimes, and it is the single biggest cost variable in a Houston bath or kitchen remodel. Drain lines run under the slab, so relocating a fixture usually means cutting concrete or tunneling. Keeping fixtures near their existing rough-in saves significant money. We identify which option applies at the walkthrough, before you fall in love with a layout.
Usually yes, and it is one of the highest-impact changes in a 1970s or 1980s Houston kitchen. What decides the cost is what is hiding inside it. Soffits frequently conceal ductwork, plumbing vents or wiring that has to be rerouted before taller cabinets can go in. That is exactly what we check before pricing the job.
You need one if plumbing or electrical is moved or added, and you generally do not for like-for-like cosmetic replacement. Because the permit path also depends on your address, we confirm whether the property falls under the City of Houston, unincorporated Harris County or a separate city such as Jersey Village, then pull it in our name.
Yes, and many homeowners do. The estimate carries allowances for those items, so supplying your own simply removes the allowance. The one caution is scheduling: owner-supplied material has to be on site before its phase begins, and a backordered vanity holds up tile, paint and trim behind it. Order early and confirm the delivery date.
Yes, more here than almost anywhere. Gulf Coast humidity means an undersized fan, or one ducted into the attic instead of outside, leaves moisture in the building envelope and grows mold behind new tile. Every bath we finish gets a correctly sized fan vented to the exterior, which is code and also just the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that does not.
Whole-house work on Houston's aging housing stock: layout, structure, mechanical systems and finishes, sequenced by one contractor.
Tenant finish-outs, office buildouts and retail refreshes, planned around your hours and the accessibility rules that apply to commercial work in Texas.
Paint is 20 percent product and 80 percent preparation. On the Gulf Coast that ratio is not an exaggeration.
Bring the room, the honest budget and any photos of the layout you want. We will measure on site and put a written number in your hands at no cost.
