General Contractor and Remodeling in Kingwood, TX
Kitchens, baths, flooring, roofing and outdoor projects in every Kingwood village, from older homes in Bear Branch and Trailwood to estates in Kings Point. We handle the City of Houston permits and your village's architectural review.
Free written estimates. Clear, frequent updates from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Remodeling for Every Kingwood Village
Most of Kingwood is inside Houston city limits, so remodels, additions and most roof work follow the City of Houston's permit rules, and village associations review changes to the outside of your home. Many homes in the older villages date to the 1970s and 1980s and are ready for new kitchens, baths and floors, while the newer villages and lakefront estates bring projects of their own.
Every Kingwood project starts with a site walk and ends with a final walkthrough. In between, you get a detailed price in writing, every material and finish confirmed with you before work starts, and photo updates as the work moves. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
- Houston permits handled. We tell you what the city requires and apply for it before work starts.
- Village review planned in. Exterior plans go to your village's committee before work is scheduled.
- Updates with photos. You know what got done and what comes next.
Remodeling and Home Services in Kingwood
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, roofing and every other residential service we offer is available in every Kingwood village. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
Kitchen Remodeling
Many kitchens in Kingwood's older villages still have their original layout and cabinets. We open them up for an island, or keep the layout and replace the cabinets, counters, tile and lighting, with every choice confirmed in writing before demolition.
Bathroom Remodeling
Walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, double vanities and new tile, from a hall bath in Sand Creek to a primary suite in Kings Point. Licensed plumbers handle the plumbing and its city permit.
Whole Home Remodeling
Updating a whole house in Bear Branch or Trailwood? We plan the kitchen, baths, floors and paint as one project, with one schedule, one written price and one set of city permits where they are needed.
Flooring
Hardwood, engineered wood, tile and luxury vinyl plank installed over a slab we check and prep first, so the new floor sits flat through every doorway and transition.
Painting
Interior, exterior and cabinet painting with careful prep. If your village reviews exterior colors, we help you choose shades and get them approved before the first coat goes on.
Roofing
Storm repairs and full replacements in shingle and metal. You get photos of the damage, a written price and the City of Houston permit, and we work with your village if it reviews roof colors.
Custom Carpentry
Bookcases beside the fireplace, a home office wall, mudroom lockers or a walk-in closet system, designed around how you use the room and finished to match your trim.
Concrete
Driveways, patios, walkways and slabs with broom, stamped or stained finishes. In Houston, a new driveway or sidewalk needs a city permit, and under Kingwood's big trees, we plan around roots and grade every slab so water runs away from the house.
Window Tint & Security Film
Solar film from certified 3M installers cuts heat and glare on sunny windows and helps keep floors and furniture from fading. Security film is an option for glass doors and sidelights.

Kingwood Permits and Approvals
Kingwood homes answer to the City of Houston and, for exterior work, to their village association. Here's what that means for 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.
City of Houston Permits
Inside Houston city limits, additions, remodels and garage conversions need a City of Houston permit, and so does all electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. Licensed contractors schedule the inspections for their own trades.
What Doesn't Need One
Painting, wallpaper, tile, carpet, and cabinet and countertop replacement don't need a permit, and neither does a fence under eight feet tall. A deck is exempt only if it's 200 square feet or less, under 30 inches high, not attached to the house and not serving an exit door.
Roofs, Windows and Driveways
Only small roof repairs, up to 100 square feet, skip the permit, so a bigger repair or a full replacement needs one. Replacing windows or exterior doors needs a permit too, and so does a new driveway or sidewalk.
Floodplain Rules
In Houston's floodplain, new construction and substantial improvements must be built 2 feet above the 500-year flood elevation, a rule in place since September 2018. Homes near Lake Houston, the San Jacinto River and Kingwood's creeks should check before planning an addition or major remodel.
Village Approvals
Kingwood's village associations review exterior work. In Bear Branch, any change to the outside of your home, front, side or back, needs an application to the architectural committee, which has up to 30 days to respond. We submit early and plan around it.
Deed Restrictions
The City of Houston can go to court to enforce certain deed restrictions, including setbacks and the size, type and number of structures on a lot. That matters most for additions, garages and other new structures, so we check your restrictions before plans are drawn.
Permit requirements can change. We verify current requirements with the applicable authority before work begins.

Kingwood Projects With Their Own Rules
These are the projects where Houston's permits and village reviews shape the plan most. Each one links to the full service page.
Roof Replacement
Only roof repairs up to 100 square feet are exempt, so a replacement needs a City of Houston permit, and your village may want to see the shingle style and color first. We handle both before the tear-off.
Additions
An addition needs a City of Houston permit and your village's approval, and the city can enforce deed restrictions on setbacks and structure size. If your lot is in the floodplain, the new space must sit 2 feet above the 500-year flood elevation, so we check all of it before plans are drawn.
Decks and Patio Covers
A deck skips the city permit only if it's 200 square feet or less, under 30 inches high, freestanding and not serving an exit door. Larger decks and covered patios need one, and in villages like Bear Branch, the committee reviews the plans either way.

Kingwood Project Questions, Answered
Do you remodel homes in every Kingwood village?
Yes. We remodel kitchens and baths, install flooring, paint, replace roofs and build decks and additions all over Kingwood, from Bear Branch and Trailwood to Kings Point. Every job starts with a site walk and a detailed price in writing.
Do I need a permit to remodel in Kingwood?
Inside Houston city limits, remodels, additions and all electrical, plumbing and mechanical work need a City of Houston permit. Painting, tile, carpet, cabinets and countertops don't. Our kitchen remodeling page shows how a project runs.
Does my village association need to approve exterior work?
Usually, yes. In Bear Branch, any change to the outside of your home needs an application to the architectural committee, which has up to 30 days to respond. We submit early and build that time into your schedule.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Kingwood?
Yes. Only roof repairs up to 100 square feet are exempt, so a replacement needs a City of Houston permit, and your village may want to approve the shingle color. Our roofing page covers what a replacement includes.
My home is near Lake Houston or a creek. What should I know before adding on?
In Houston's floodplain, new construction and substantial improvements must be built 2 feet above the 500-year flood elevation. We look up your flood zone before plans are drawn, so the design accounts for it from the start.
Do you work near Kingwood too?
Yes. We work across northeast Harris County, including Humble and Atascocita. See our Humble page for the rules there.
