General Contractor and Remodeling in Cypress, TX
Kitchens, baths, flooring, roofing and outdoor projects for Cypress homes, from established neighborhoods like Coles Crossing and Fairfield to lake communities like Towne Lake and Bridgeland.

Free written estimates. Clear, frequent updates from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Remodeling in Cypress's Lake and Master-Planned Communities
Cypress is unincorporated and lies inside Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction, so there's no city permit office. Harris County permits development and floodplain work, and many neighborhoods have HOAs that enforce deed restrictions, including on architectural changes. Several subdivisions are built around man-made lakes, which shapes drainage and what fits in the backyard.
Your Cypress project begins with a site walk. After it, you get a detailed price in writing, confirm every material and finish before work begins, and get photo updates as the job moves to the final walkthrough. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
- County and HOA rules checked. You know what needs approval before you get your price.
- Every material and finish in writing. Confirmed with you before work starts.
- Updates with photos. You know what got done and what comes next.
Remodeling and Home Services in Cypress
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, roofing, painting, decks and every other residential service we offer is available across Cypress. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in Coles Crossing and Fairfield homes from the 1990s and 2000s are often due for new cabinets, quartz or granite counters and better lighting. We plan the layout with you and confirm every choice in writing before demolition.
Bathroom Remodeling
Primary suites with a large walk-in shower, kids' baths with durable tile, and dated garden tubs swapped for showers. Licensed plumbers do the plumbing work, and every tile, faucet and fixture is chosen with you before demolition.
Whole Home Remodeling
Updating a whole house before you move in or after the kids move out? We plan the kitchen, baths, floors and paint together, on one schedule with one written price.
Flooring
One continuous floor through an open kitchen and family room, in plank, wood or tile, laid over a slab we grind and level where it needs it.
Roofing
Repairs after hail and high wind, and complete roof replacements in architectural shingle or metal. We send photos of each problem we find, and if your HOA approves roof colors, we help you pick one it accepts.
Painting
Repaints inside and out, plus cabinet painting, with caulking, patching and primer done right. Exterior color changes go to your HOA first when it reviews them.
Deck Building
Covered patios, pergolas and composite decks for lake lots and big backyards, with the drawings your HOA's review asks for.
Window Tint & Security Film
Lake views bring afternoon glare. Solar film from certified 3M installers takes the heat and glare off big back windows while keeping the view, and security and privacy films are available as well.
Junk Removal
Clearing out a garage or hauling away an old deck, playset or hot tub before a remodel? We remove it and haul it off, and handle small residential demolition too.

Cypress Permits and Approvals
Without a city, Harris County and your HOA decide what needs sign-off in Cypress. Here's how that plays out on common projects.
You don't need to sort this out yourself. At the site walk, we tell you which of these apply to your project.
No City Building Permit
Because Cypress isn't a city, homes here don't need a city building permit. Harris County's permits, its floodplain rules and your HOA's deed restrictions still decide what needs approval.
What the County Permits
In unincorporated Harris County, starting development without a county permit is prohibited, and development means nearly any man-made change to a lot. A patio slab, a new outbuilding or a load of fill dirt in the backyard can each need one.
Lots Near the Creeks
Homes near Cypress Creek and its tributaries can sit in the floodplain. On a lot in the 100-year floodplain, the county wants the lowest floor of a new home or a substantial improvement 24 inches or more above the 500-year flood elevation.
Lake Communities
Towne Lake is built around a 300-acre private lake, and Bridgeland's lakes were designed as part of its stormwater system. If your home backs onto the water, ask your HOA what's allowed near the shoreline before you plan a deck or patio.
HOA Review
Many Cypress HOAs enforce deed restrictions that cover architectural changes. Plan on submitting fences, patio covers, additions and exterior color changes for approval before work starts, and we'll put the package together.
Permit requirements can change. We verify current requirements with the applicable authority before work begins.

Cypress Projects Where the Rules Matter
On these projects, Harris County or your HOA shapes the plan from the start. Each one links to the full service page.
Covered Patios and Decks
A covered patio is a new structure, and in unincorporated Harris County that's development the county permits. Your HOA will usually want drawings, materials and colors too, so we prepare both before the first post goes in.
Additions
Harris County permits additions as development. If yours counts as a substantial improvement on a 100-year floodplain lot, its floor goes 2 feet over the 500-year flood level. Flood zone and deed restrictions both get checked before the drawings.
Patios, Walkways and Driveways
Paving counts as development under Harris County's rules, and a driveway in the county right-of-way needs its own permit. We set the grade so water drains away from your house, not toward it.

Cypress Project Questions, Answered
Do you work in Bridgeland and Towne Lake?
Yes. We work all over Cypress, including Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield and Coles Crossing. Every job starts with a site walk and a detailed price in writing.
Do I need a building permit to remodel in Cypress?
No city permit is needed, because Cypress isn't a city. What does need approval comes from Harris County, for new structures, paving, fill and floodplain work, and from your HOA, for changes to the outside of your home.
Does my HOA need to approve a patio cover?
Usually, yes. A covered patio changes the outside of your home, and many Cypress HOAs review that. We prepare the drawings, materials and colors they ask for. See our deck building page.
Is my Cypress home in the floodplain?
Homes near Cypress Creek and its tributaries can be. If the lot is in the 100-year floodplain, Harris County holds new homes and substantial improvements to a floor 2 feet over the 500-year flood level. We pull up your flood zone at the site walk.
Can you remodel a kitchen in an older Cypress home?
Yes, from new cabinets and counters to a reworked layout in a home built in the 1990s or 2000s. Our kitchen remodeling page shows how a project runs.
