Custom Homes & Additions Built for Houston
Detail Construction builds custom homes from the ground up and designs additions that blend seamlessly with your existing house. Whether you're building new on your lot, adding a primary suite, expanding a kitchen, or building out a second story, we manage the entire project — design coordination, permitting, foundation, framing, and finishes — under one roof and one schedule.
Engineered for Gulf Coast Conditions
Houston's expansive clay soil is the single biggest factor in any ground-up build. We engineer foundations — slab-on-grade or pier-and-beam — to handle the seasonal swelling and shrinking that cracks under-built homes, and we plan drainage and finished-floor elevation carefully in flood-prone areas. Framing, roofing, and windows are specified to meet current Houston wind-load codes, and we build envelopes that stand up to the area's heat and humidity.
Our Construction Process
Every build follows our proven four steps: a free consultation to scope your project and budget, a detailed estimate with selections and a clear schedule, professional construction with regular updates, and a final walkthrough. You get one point of contact from the first call to move-in day.
Timeline & What to Expect
Home additions typically run 2–4 months; full custom homes take 8–14 months plus design and permitting. We pull every required permit with the City of Houston or the relevant county and keep the job inspected and to code. From the Heights and Memorial to Katy, Sugar Land, and the Bay Area, we've delivered residential projects across the Greater Houston area since 1995.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Houston?
Custom home construction in Houston typically runs $150–$350 per square foot, so a 2,500–3,500 sq ft home generally falls between $400,000 and $1,000,000+. The biggest cost drivers are square footage, finish level (semi-custom vs. fully custom cabinetry and appliances), and your lot. Houston's expansive clay soil usually calls for an engineered slab or pier-and-beam foundation, and homes in flood-prone areas may require elevation — both affect cost. Most custom homes take 8–14 months to build. Detail Construction provides free, detailed estimates — call (281) 802-5366.
How much does a home addition cost in Houston?
Home additions in Houston generally run $200–$500 per square foot, or roughly $40,000–$150,000+ depending on the room and whether plumbing or electrical is involved. A primary-suite or kitchen expansion sits at the higher end; a bedroom or sunroom addition at the lower end. Additions require a permit and must tie into your existing foundation, which matters on Houston's shifting clay soil. Most additions take 2–4 months. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Houston?
A custom home in Houston typically takes 8–14 months from breaking ground to final walkthrough, plus 1–3 months of design and permitting beforehand. Weather, material lead times, and change orders affect the schedule. We provide a detailed timeline with your estimate and keep you updated at every phase.
