Remodeling Company in South Houston, TX
Home remodeling in South Houston usually costs between $9,000 and $130,000 depending on whether you’re reworking a small bathroom or adding square footage to a 1950s pier-and-beam house. We’re a general contractor serving South Houston homeowners who want a written price before any work starts, not a verbal estimate that changes after demo day. Most of the homes we work on here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and flood history shows up in floors, joists, and exterior trim in ways you don’t see in newer suburbs. Call (254) 527-5340 and we’ll walk you through what your project actually needs.
Why South Houston Homes Are Different
South Houston’s housing stock is mostly small, single-story, wood-frame or brick-veneer homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. Many still sit on pier-and-beam foundations or early slab pours, and a lot of them still carry original galvanized plumbing. That matters when you’re opening walls: galvanized pipe narrows from the inside over decades, and a remodel is often the first time a homeowner sees just how little water pressure was getting through. We plan for pipe replacement in nearly every South Houston kitchen and bath project because ripping out a wall and leaving 60-year-old plumbing behind is a recipe for a callback.
The other thing South Houston deals with is water. Flooding from heavy rains, storm surge, and subsidence is a standing fact of life here, and the humid subtropical climate keeps wood rot and mold moving once moisture gets in. We inspect for rot at the sill plate, around windows, and anywhere a past flood left a watermark that a previous owner painted over. Foundation movement from subsidence also shows up as doors that no longer latch and drywall cracks that come back after every patch job. None of it is a reason to walk away from a remodel, but all of it should shape the scope and the price from day one.
One detail we see regularly in South Houston: pier-and-beam homes that have been leveled more than once after flood events. The result is a patchwork of shims, sistered joists, and slightly out-of-square framing that a contractor from a drier part of the metro area might misread. We expect it, budget for it in writing, and don’t act surprised when the floor tells a flood story.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main South Houston Services
South Houston homeowners call us most often about two things: kitchens and baths in older homes that need more than a cosmetic refresh, and whole-home work where the plumbing, framing, and finishes all need attention at once. Both are covered below, each with a dedicated South Houston page.
General Contractor in South Houston
A general contractor in South Houston has to understand what water does to an older home. We coordinate the trades, order the materials, pull the permits, and keep the job moving through framing, rough-in, drywall, and finish work. On pier-and-beam homes we check the floor structure before anything else goes in. On slab homes we check for heave and settling. The written price you get before we start includes the scope we agreed on, so the number on day one is the number on the invoice. Learn more about General Contractor in South Houston.
Bathroom Remodeling in South Houston
Bathrooms in South Houston’s older homes are usually tight, and the walls are often hiding galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that have been patched, not replaced. A bathroom remodel here usually means gutting to the studs, fixing the plumbing, waterproofing properly with cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and then finishing with fixtures that will actually last. We install Kohler and Moen fixtures because the products behind our 365-day guarantee need to hold up to hard water and humidity. Read the full breakdown on Bathroom Remodeling in South Houston.
Kitchen Remodeling in South Houston
Kitchens in South Houston homes from the 1950s and 1960s often have load-bearing walls exactly where homeowners want an open floor plan. That’s a structural question, not just a preference, and it changes the price. We also run into asbestos-containing materials in old flooring and drywall compound, which requires abatement procedures before demo continues. Cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria or Silestone, and a written line-item price before demo day: that’s the standard on every South Houston kitchen.

Home Remodeling in South Houston
Home remodeling in South Houston means working inside an older, modest housing stock where flood history, settled foundations, and dated mechanical systems are all in the room with you. A whole-house remodel here isn’t a luxury pass; it’s usually the practical way to fix decades of deferred maintenance, upgrade plumbing and electrical, and make a small 1950s floor plan work for a modern family. We’re a Home Remodeling contractor who prices the job in writing before a single wall comes down, because South Houston homeowners have seen too many verbal estimates turn into surprises.

How long does a whole home remodel take in South Houston?
A whole-home remodel in South Houston typically takes 10 to 20 weeks depending on scope, structural work, and any plumbing or electrical replacement we find once walls are opened.
