Serving Montgomery and the West Side of Lake Conroe
In Montgomery, where your home sits decides the plan. A house in the historic district, a home elsewhere in town and a lake house in a deed-restricted community each answer to different reviewers. We sort that out at the site walk, coordinate every trade and confirm every material and finish with you in writing.
We're just across Lake Conroe in Willis, linked to Montgomery by FM 1097. Whether it's paint and siding on a historic home or a new deck at the lake, you get a set schedule, photo updates as the work moves, and one point of contact from the site walk to the final walkthrough.
- Historic district approval, planned in. The Planning and Zoning Commission's review goes at the front of the schedule.
- 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 Montgomery
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, siding, decks and every other residential service we offer is available in Montgomery and around the west side of the lake. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
Kitchen Remodeling
Lake houses in Walden, Bentwater and April Sound are built for hosting, and the kitchen is where everyone ends up. We remodel with the cabinets, counters, island seating and lighting to match, coordinating every trade from demolition to the last fixture.
Bathroom Remodeling
Primary baths with walk-in showers and double vanities, guest baths for lake weekends, and tub-to-shower conversions. Licensed plumbers handle the plumbing, and every tile, faucet and fixture is confirmed with you before work starts.
Whole Home Remodeling
Updating an older lake house or a home near historic downtown? We plan kitchens, baths, flooring, paint and exterior work together, so you get one schedule and one written price instead of a string of separate jobs.
Painting
Interior, exterior and cabinet painting, with the scraping, patching and priming that older siding and trim need. For lake homes, we choose paints and stains made to stand up to sun and humidity.
Siding & Stucco
Siding and stucco repair and replacement in fiber cement, vinyl, wood, board and batten and stucco. On older homes, we match the existing profile and texture, so a repair blends in with the rest of the house.
Deck Building
Wood and composite decks, covered patios and pergolas sized for lake-lot entertaining. On sloped lots, multi-level decks with stairs and railings turn a hillside into space you can actually use.
Flooring
Tile, luxury vinyl plank and engineered wood that hold up to wet feet and sandy shoes in a lake house, or hardwood for an older home near downtown. We check the slab or subfloor and level it before anything goes down.
Roofing
Roofs for lake homes and historic homes in shingle, metal or tile. In the historic district, a new roof material or color counts as an exterior change, so we plan that review into the schedule.
Custom Carpentry
Built-ins, bookcases, closets, vanities and trim made to suit an older home's character or a lake house's storage needs. Every piece is measured in your home and built to fit the space.

Montgomery Permits and Approvals
Montgomery has three sets of rules, depending on where your home sits. Here's what each one means for your project.
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 Montgomery requires a building permit "for every building or renovation," plus separate permits for plumbing, HVAC, electrical and irrigation work. When in doubt, the city asks you to call before you start.
In the Historic District
Any exterior change to a home in the Historic Preservation District needs Planning and Zoning Commission approval first, with drawings, photos and exact colors. The city won't review the building permit until then, so we put that approval at the front of the schedule.
In the Lake Communities
Walden, Bentwater, April Sound and Grand Harbor each review exterior work. Walden, for one, requires architectural committee approval before any exterior repair, alteration or addition starts.
Outside City Limits
Montgomery County doesn't enforce building codes on single-family homes, but it does require permits for each new structure or addition, any work in the 100-year floodplain and septic changes. Within 2,075 feet of Lake Conroe, septic systems fall under the San Jacinto River Authority.
No County Inspector
Outside city limits, no county inspector checks most home projects, so who you hire matters more. We walk the finished work with you and make sure it matches what we agreed to in writing.
Permit requirements can change. We verify current requirements with the applicable authority before work begins.

Montgomery Projects That Need Extra Planning
These are the projects where Montgomery's approvals shape the plan most. Each one links to the full service page.
Exterior Painting
In the Historic Preservation District, exterior paint changes need Planning and Zoning Commission approval, with exact colors, before work starts. We help you choose colors and plan that approval into the schedule.
Siding and Stucco
New siding on a historic district home needs the same approval, with drawings and photos. In lake communities like Walden, exterior changes go through the architectural committee first.
Decks at the Lake
In Walden, a new deck needs architectural committee approval before work starts. Anything built over the water, from docks to boathouses and bulkheads, needs a San Jacinto River Authority permit, and Grand Harbor's committee reviews those too.

Montgomery Project Questions, Answered
Do you remodel historic homes in Montgomery?
Yes. We update kitchens and baths, repaint, repair siding and build custom carpentry for homes near historic downtown, matching the existing trim, profiles and finishes. In the historic district, exterior changes go to the Planning and Zoning Commission first, and we plan that into the schedule.
Do I need a permit to renovate in the City of Montgomery?
Yes. The city requires a building permit for every building or renovation, with separate permits for plumbing, HVAC, electrical and irrigation work.
My home is in the historic district. What changes?
Exterior changes need Planning and Zoning Commission approval first, with drawings, photos and exact colors, and the building permit review waits until that's done. Plan extra time for exterior painting, siding and other visible work. We build it into the schedule.
Do you work in Walden, Bentwater, April Sound and Grand Harbor?
Yes, and each one reviews exterior work. Walden requires architectural committee approval before any exterior repair, alteration or addition starts, and Bentwater's architectural control covers remodels as well as new homes. We plan that review into your schedule.
Does Montgomery County inspect remodels outside city limits?
Not for most remodels. The county doesn't enforce building codes on single-family homes, though additions, floodplain work and septic changes still need county permits. That makes choosing a careful contractor even more important.
