Serving Katy, in Town and Across Three Counties
The City of Katy sits where Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties meet, and plenty of homes with a Katy address, from Cinco Ranch and Grand Lakes to Nottingham Country, are outside city limits altogether. Inside the city, remodeling and roofing need a city permit. Outside it, the county your home is in sets the rules. We sort that out before the site walk.
A Katy project with us starts with a walk through your home and ends with a final walkthrough. Along the way, you get a detailed price in writing, every material and finish confirmed before work begins, and photo updates as each stage wraps up. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
- City, county or HOA, sorted out. You know who signs off on your project 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 Katy
Kitchens, baths, flooring, roofing, patios and every other residential service we offer is available across the Katy area, in town and in the surrounding communities. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
Kitchen Remodeling
From refreshing a builder-grade kitchen in a 1990s home to opening it up to the family room, we plan cabinets, counters, backsplash and lighting with you, and every choice is confirmed in writing before demolition.
Bathroom Remodeling
Primary baths with walk-in showers and freestanding tubs, plus hall bath refreshes for kids and guests. Licensed plumbers handle the plumbing, and you choose the tile, glass and fixtures before anything is torn out.
Flooring
Replace carpet and dated tile with luxury vinyl plank, engineered wood or porcelain tile across the whole first floor. We check the slab for high and low spots first, so long runs of plank lie flat.
Roofing
Hail and wind repairs and full roof replacements in shingle and metal, with photos of every problem area. Inside the City of Katy, the roofing permit is part of the job.
Painting
Interior, exterior and cabinet painting with patching, caulking and priming first. If your HOA approves exterior colors, we help you pick shades it will accept and submit them before painting.
Deck Building
Covered patios, pergolas and wood or composite decks built for big backyards and Texas sun. We prepare the drawings your HOA's architectural review asks for.
Home Additions
Bedrooms, game rooms, primary suites and sunrooms built to match your home's brick, siding and roofline. We check the permits, your deed restrictions and the drainage on your lot before plans are drawn.
Window Tint & Security Film
Solar film from certified 3M installers cuts heat and glare on west-facing windows and helps keep floors and furniture from fading. Privacy and security film are options too.
Custom Carpentry
Home office built-ins, media walls, mudroom lockers and closet systems for busy households, measured in your home and finished to match your trim.

Katy Permits and Approvals
Which rules apply depends on whether your home is in the City of Katy, out in Harris, Fort Bend or Waller County, or in a deed-restricted community. Here's how it breaks down.
You don't need to sort this out yourself. At the site walk, we tell you which of these apply to your project.
Inside City Limits
The City of Katy requires a permit for all new construction, remodeling and roofing. Its list also covers water heaters, adding or removing walls, storage buildings and carports, and new driveways, sidewalks and patios.
Contractors Register First
Every contractor working in the City of Katy registers with the city, and the registration is good for 12 months. The city asks for proof of general liability and auto insurance, with the city named on the certificate.
Booking Inspections
Inside city limits, inspections are scheduled by email or phone during business hours, and results show up in the city's online portal. We book each one as the work reaches that stage.
Outside City Limits
Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes and the other communities outside city limits follow Harris or Fort Bend County rules. In unincorporated Fort Bend County, new construction needs a county Development Permit, a separate permit covers the floodplain, and work started before the permit is issued pays double fees.
Deed-Restricted Communities
Many Katy-area homes are in communities with deed restrictions and an architectural review. Bring your HOA's guidelines to the site walk, and we'll submit fences, patio covers, additions and color changes for approval before work starts.
Permit requirements can change. We verify current requirements with the applicable authority before work begins.

Katy Projects Where the Rules Matter
On these jobs, the city, the county or your HOA shapes the plan from the start. Each one links to the full service page.
Roof Replacement
Inside the City of Katy, every roofing job needs a city permit, and we file it before the old shingles come off. Out in the county, your HOA may still review the shingle color, so we help you pick one it approves.
Driveways and Patios
Inside city limits, new driveways, sidewalks and patios all need a city permit. In unincorporated Fort Bend County, a residential driveway needs a county permit too. We line up the right one before the pour.
Opening Up a Floor Plan
Taking out or adding a wall inside the City of Katy needs a permit, and a load-bearing wall needs a plan to carry the weight. We plan the structure, the permit and the finish work together, so the open kitchen comes together on schedule.
