Your Hometown General Contractor
1097 Construction takes its name from FM 1097, the road that runs through Willis and across Lake Conroe. With a contractor based down the road, the site walk is easy to set up and help is close by. We remodel kitchens, baths and whole homes, replace roofs, and build decks and patios all over Willis, in town and around the lake.
Every Willis project gets the same care: a detailed price in writing after the site walk, every material and finish confirmed with you before work starts, a set schedule, and photo updates until the final walkthrough. Whether your home sits inside city limits, out in the county or on the water, we know which rules apply.
- The right permits. We sort out what the city, county, lake authority or your HOA requires before work starts.
- 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 Willis
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, roofing, decks and every other residential service we offer is available in Willis. We coordinate every trade, and licensed trades are done by licensed subcontractors.
Kitchen Remodeling
From a cabinet and countertop refresh in a home near downtown to a full layout change in a lake house, we plan your kitchen around how you cook and entertain. Cabinets, counters, tile and lighting are all confirmed with you in writing before demolition starts.
Bathroom Remodeling
Walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, new tile and vanities for Willis homes in town and on the lake. Licensed plumbers handle the drains and supply lines, and we finish the tile, glass and fixtures to the plan you approved.
Flooring
Hardwood, engineered wood, tile and luxury vinyl plank, laid over a slab or subfloor we check and prep first. For lake houses that see wet feet and heavy traffic, we walk you through the floors that hold up best before you choose.
Roofing
Shingle, metal and tile roofs for homes in town, out in the county and along the lake, from storm repairs to full replacements. You see photos of every problem area before you decide what to fix.
Deck Building
Wood and composite decks built for lake views and Texas sun, from ground-level decks to covered decks with stairs, railings and pergolas. We lay out the deck around your trees, your slope and the view you want to keep.
Concrete
Driveways, patios, walkways and slabs for homes in town and on county lots, with broom, stamped or stained finishes. We prep the base first and plan the slab for how you'll use it, from the daily drive to a boat trailer.
Painting
Interior, exterior and cabinet painting with real prep: scraping, patching and caulking before any primer goes on. Every color and sheen is confirmed in writing, from a lake house's trim to a bedroom repaint.
Window Tint & Security Film
Lake views come with sun and glare. Solar film from certified 3M installers stops part of that heat at the glass, so rooms stay cooler and your AC doesn't run as hard all summer, without blocking the view you bought the house for. UV, privacy and security film are options too.
Home Additions
Bedrooms, primary suites, sunrooms and extra living space for Willis homes, built to match your roofline, siding and finishes. We coordinate the foundation, framing and every trade, so the addition looks like it was always there.

Willis Permits and Approvals
The rules depend on where your home sits: inside city limits, out in the county or on the lake. Here's what each one means for you.
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 Willis requires a permit before most building work, from remodels, re-roofs and decks to fences, driveways and foundation repair, plus any change to electrical, gas, plumbing or HVAC systems. Start without one and the permit fee doubles.
Outside City Limits
A Willis address doesn't always mean you're in the city. Out in unincorporated Montgomery County, a new roof needs no county permit, but an addition or any fully enclosed structure needs a Development Permit, and so does digging or grading in the 100-year floodplain.
Septic Near the Lake
Any change to a septic system needs a permit. If your home is within 2,075 feet of Lake Conroe, that permit comes from the San Jacinto River Authority. If your project touches the septic system, we plan for that permit early.
Docks, Bulkheads and Boathouses
Anything built on or over Lake Conroe needs a permit or license from the San Jacinto River Authority, plus your HOA's approval if your community requires it. A bulkhead also needs a land survey and construction plans, and SJRA charges a yearly fee for each structure.
Lake Community Approvals
Point Aquarius has an architectural control committee. Seven Coves asks for a packet before you change the look of your home or lot, and a separate one for docks, bulkheads and boat slips. We plan that review into your schedule.
Permit requirements can change. We verify current requirements with the applicable authority before work begins.

Willis Projects That Need Extra Planning
These are the projects where Willis rules shape the plan most. Each one links to the full service page.
Decks and Patios
A new deck needs a City of Willis permit inside city limits, and your HOA's approval in communities like Point Aquarius and Seven Coves. We plan the permit and the review before the first board goes down.
Driveways and Concrete
Driveways and foundation repair are on the city's permit list, and a new or changed driveway onto FM 1097 also needs a TxDOT access permit. We line up both before the concrete is poured.
Bathroom Remodels
Inside city limits, new plumbing needs a permit, and licensed plumbers handle that work. Near the lake, if the project touches your septic system, the San Jacinto River Authority permits that change.

Willis Project Questions, Answered
Do you remodel lake homes around Willis?
Yes. We remodel kitchens and baths, install flooring, replace roofs and build decks for lake homes in Point Aquarius, Seven Coves, Corinthian Point and the other communities on the east side of Lake Conroe, as well as homes in town and out in the county. Every job gets a detailed price in writing after the site walk.
Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Willis?
Inside city limits, usually yes. The City of Willis requires a permit to build, alter, repair or demolish, and for electrical, gas, plumbing or HVAC changes. Outside city limits, Montgomery County's rules apply. Your Montgomery Central Appraisal District record shows which one you're under, or call us and we'll check.
Who approves docks and bulkheads on Lake Conroe?
The San Jacinto River Authority permits anything built on or over the lake, and your HOA or POA may need to approve the plans first. Building a deck on your lot instead? See our deck building page.
Do Point Aquarius and Seven Coves need to approve my project?
For exterior work, yes. Point Aquarius has an architectural control committee, and Seven Coves asks for a packet before you change the look of your home or lot. We build that review into the schedule, so work starts once you're approved.
