Our Services
What construction and remodeling services do you offer?
We offer residential and commercial construction, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, garage construction, concrete installation, fence installation, wood decks, pergolas, metal buildings, church construction, and chemical plant construction.
Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We build and remodel single-family homes as well as commercial, industrial, and institutional properties throughout the Houston area.
Do you take on small projects or only large ones?
Both. From a single fence, deck, or concrete driveway to a full custom home or commercial build, we treat every project with the same attention to detail.
Do you do kitchen and bathroom remodeling?
Yes — full kitchen and bathroom renovations including cabinetry, countertops, tile, custom showers, vanities, and fixtures, designed and built to fit your budget.
Do you build fences, decks, and pergolas?
Yes. We install wood, metal, vinyl, and chain-link fences, custom wood and composite decks, and cedar, composite, or steel pergolas built for Houston's climate.
Do you build patio covers and covered patios in Houston?
Yes — covered patios are one of our most popular outdoor projects in Houston. We build attached and freestanding covers in wood, aluminum, and insulated styles to add shade and usable outdoor space in the Texas heat. Aluminum and insulated covers hold up especially well to Houston's humidity and sun. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
What's the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?
A pergola has an open or slatted roof that filters sunlight and adds architectural style, while a patio cover has a solid roof that provides full shade and rain protection. In Houston, many homeowners choose a solid or insulated patio cover for year-round protection from sun and storms, and a pergola when they want a more open, decorative look. We build both — call (281) 802-5366 to talk through which fits your space.
Can you convert my garage into living space?
Yes. Garage conversions are a popular way to add a bedroom, office, gym, or apartment in Houston, typically running $15,000–$35,000 depending on finishes and whether plumbing is added. Conversions require a permit and must meet code for insulation, egress, and electrical — we handle the permitting and build it to pass inspection. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
Do you repair decks, or only build new ones?
We do both. Along with new deck construction, we repair and restore decks — replacing rotted boards, re-leveling, re-staining, and reinforcing framing weakened by Houston's heat and humidity. If your deck is structurally sound, a restoration often costs far less than a full rebuild. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free assessment.
Do you repair or resurface concrete and pavers?
Yes. We repair cracked concrete, resurface worn driveways and patios, and reset or replace settled and uneven pavers — common in Houston because the area's expansive clay soil shifts slabs over time. We'll assess whether a repair, resurface, or replacement is the most cost-effective fix. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
What types of fences do you install in Houston?
We install wood and cedar privacy fences, ornamental aluminum and wrought-iron fencing, vinyl fencing, and chain-link — for both residential and commercial properties. Cedar is the most popular choice for Houston privacy fences, while aluminum and wrought iron suit security and curb appeal. All posts are set deep to handle Houston's shifting clay soil. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
Do you do commercial tenant build-outs and remodels?
Yes. We handle commercial tenant improvements and build-outs across Houston — office, retail, and restaurant spaces — managing permits, finishes, and the schedule so you can open on time. Tenant build-outs typically run $30–$120 per square foot depending on the space. Call (281) 802-5366 to discuss your project.
Do you have experience with chemical plant and petrochemical construction?
Yes. We serve the Houston Ship Channel's petrochemical corridor with new facility construction, structural steel, equipment installation, pipe fitting, and scheduled turnarounds — all built to OSHA and Process Safety Management (PSM) standards. We provide scoped bids for plant owners and EPC partners. Call (281) 802-5366.
Estimates & Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Every estimate is free and no-obligation. We visit your property, discuss your project, and provide a detailed written quote with transparent pricing.

How do I request a quote?
Call (281) 802-5366 or submit our online contact form. We'll schedule a visit to your property and follow up with a detailed written estimate.
How does payment work?
Your written estimate spells out a clear payment schedule before any work begins, so there are no surprises along the way.
How much do your construction and remodeling services cost?
It depends on the project, but as a guide: kitchen remodels run $15,000–$75,000, bathrooms $6,000–$35,000, wood and cedar privacy fences $18–$28 per linear foot, and pergolas $8,000–$25,000. Each service page lists detailed Houston pricing, and every estimate is free. Call (281) 802-5366 for a quote tailored to your project.
Does a kitchen remodel increase my home's value in Houston?
Yes — kitchen remodels are consistently among the highest-return home improvements in the Houston market, and an updated kitchen is one of the first things buyers notice. Even a mid-range refresh of cabinets, countertops, and lighting can boost resale appeal. We'll help you prioritize the upgrades that add the most value for your budget. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
Process & Timeline
What is your construction process?
Our proven 4-step process: (1) a free consultation to understand your vision, (2) a detailed written estimate with transparent pricing, (3) expert construction by our skilled crews, and (4) a final walkthrough to make sure you're completely satisfied.
How long will my project take?
Timelines vary by scope. A bathroom remodel may take 2–4 weeks, while a full home build can take several months. We provide a clear timeline in your estimate and keep you updated throughout the project.
Will I have a point of contact during my project?
Yes. We're a hands-on, family-owned team — you'll get regular updates and can reach us easily from your first call through the final walkthrough.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
That's perfectly fine. Many clients start with a general idea. During your free consultation we help refine the scope, budget, and design to create a plan that works for you.
Permits, HOA & Site Conditions
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull the permits required by your city or county and build to current code, so your project is properly inspected and approved.
Do you work within HOA and architectural review guidelines?
Yes. In master-planned communities across Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Cypress, and beyond, we prepare and submit the documentation HOAs and architectural review committees require for exterior work.
Do you account for Houston's clay soil and storm exposure?
Yes. We engineer foundations, drainage, and framing for Greater Houston's expansive clay soils and Gulf Coast weather, and we build to Texas Windstorm (TWIA) standards in coastal areas like League City and Friendswood.
Do you stand behind your work?
Yes. We're a family-owned company built on referrals and repeat business. We stand behind our craftsmanship and make things right.
