Full-Service Remodeling for All Houston Neighborhoods
Tell Projects operates as a comprehensive general contracting firm licensed to handle kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work across the greater Houston area—including Pearland, Cypress, Stafford, Friendswood, and the 77024, 77040, 77027, and 77055 zip codes. Rather than juggling separate contractors, homeowners benefit from unified project management, single-point accountability, and seamless coordination when remodeling kitchens requires new electrical circuits, plumbing relocation, and HVAC adjustments. Our licensed general contractor status (License # available upon request) ensures compliance with Houston building codes, which are particularly stringent regarding hurricane-resistant materials, mold remediation, and flood mitigation—critical for properties in flood-prone areas near Addicks Reservoir or Buffalo Bayou tributaries. We've completed 340+ residential and multifamily projects since 2015, with average project timelines of 6–12 weeks for kitchen remodels and 4–8 weeks for bathroom renovations. For inquiries about your specific neighborhood or project scope, call (832) 591-7991 to speak with a project manager familiar with local permitting requirements and material sourcing.
Kitchen Remodel Houston: Custom Design & Premium Finishes
Houston kitchen remodels demand both aesthetic appeal and practical durability in a humid, heat-intensive climate. Tell Projects specializes in kitchen renovations ranging from $18,000 starter updates (new countertops, sink, hardware) to $85,000+ luxury remodels featuring custom cabinetry, quartz or granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and island installations. We source materials locally when possible to reduce delivery times and work closely with interior designers to ensure your kitchen layout maximizes storage and workflow. Typical kitchen remodel projects include: removal of dated cabinets and countertops (days 1–3); framing adjustments and electrical/plumbing rough-ins (days 4–7); installation of new cabinetry, countertops, and backsplash (days 8–14); appliance hookup and final trim work (days 15–21). Houston's high humidity requires careful ventilation design—we install commercial-grade range hoods vented directly outside, not recirculating systems prone to mold. All kitchen projects include permits, inspections, and compliance with 2022 Houston Building Code requirements for egress and gas appliance venting. For a detailed estimate and 3D renderings of your kitchen remodel, contact (832) 591-7991.
Bathroom Remodel & Spa Upgrades in Houston Metro
Bathroom remodels in Houston range from refreshed powder rooms (tile, fixtures, paint) to full master-bath overhauls with heated tile floors, rainfall showerheads, and freestanding soaking tubs. Tell Projects has renovated 127 bathrooms in the past 3 years, with customer satisfaction ratings averaging 4.8 out of 5 stars. Common bathroom remodel scopes include: moisture-resistant drywall installation (critical for Houston's 65–80% average humidity); waterproofing of shower enclosures using Schlüter or similar systems to prevent mold behind tile; heated floor mat installation (available in 30–50 sqft configurations); and HVAC-integrated exhaust fans rated for 100–120 CFM to manage steam and humidity. Master-bath renovations typically cost $22,000–$65,000 and take 5–9 weeks, while guest-bath refreshes average $8,000–$18,000 over 2–3 weeks. We source premium fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Delta to ensure longevity in Houston's mineral-heavy tap water. All plumbing work is completed under our general contractor license, with supply-line relocations, vent-stack adjustments, and septic or municipal sewer compliance included. For a bathroom remodel consultation and product samples, call (832) 591-7991.
Roofing, Electrical & HVAC Integration in Houston Remodels
Comprehensive remodeling often extends beyond kitchens and baths—many Houston homeowners seize the opportunity to upgrade roofing, electrical panels, and HVAC systems for improved efficiency and storm resilience. Tell Projects coordinates these trades seamlessly: roof replacements (architectural shingles rated for 130+ mph wind speeds, meeting Houston's hurricane-resistant standards) take 3–5 days for 2,500–3,500 sqft homes and cost $6,500–$12,000; electrical panel upgrades (100–200 amp service, AFCI/GFCI protection, new branch circuits) average 4–7 days and $3,500–$7,000; HVAC replacements (16–18 SEER units sized for 3,000–5,000 sqft) run 2–4 days and $5,500–$11,000. Integrated projects unlock savings: scheduling roof, electrical, and HVAC work together reduces labor overhead by 15–22% compared to sequential contractor hiring. Houston's high heat-index summers (100°F+) demand efficient cooling; our licensed HVAC technicians size units correctly to avoid oversizing (which wastes energy) and ensure ductwork is sealed for 95%+ efficiency. All work includes manufacturer warranties (10–15 years on roofing, 5–10 years on HVAC) and compliance with Texas Residential Tenancy Code for rental properties. Contact (832) 591-7991 to bundle your remodel with mechanical upgrades.
Multifamily & Investment Property Renovation Expertise
Tell Projects brings specialized experience in multifamily renovation—a key differentiator in Houston's booming apartment and condo market. We've completed 89 multifamily projects ranging from 4-unit townhome communities to 180-unit apartment complexes, managing renovations in Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands, and central Houston. Multifamily scopes include: individual unit kitchen & bathroom remodels (turnaround time: 10–14 days per unit for 25–35 units annually); common-area upgrades (hallway flooring, exterior painting, landscape hardscaping); and building-system replacements (roof, HVAC, electrical panels serving multiple units). Investment property owners value our ability to manage code compliance across multiple jurisdictions—each Houston-area city has slightly different permit requirements, timelines, and inspection protocols. Our licensed general contractor status and relationships with permitting offices in Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties streamline approvals and reduce project delays. We also maintain surety bonding and liability coverage up to $2M, essential for multifamily work. Recent multifamily projects achieved 18–24% cost savings versus low-bid contractors by optimizing material purchasing and scheduling 8–10 unit renovations weekly. For multifamily or investment property remodel planning, call (832) 591-7991 to discuss volume pricing and management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in Houston?
Most Houston kitchen remodels take 6–12 weeks depending on scope. A simple refresh (new counters, sink, hardware) may finish in 3–4 weeks; a full remodel with cabinetry, electrical rework, plumbing relocation, and new HVAC ventilation typically requires 8–10 weeks. Delays can occur if Houston Building Department inspections reveal code violations or if subflooring replacement is needed—common in older homes built before 2000 in areas prone to moisture. Tell Projects manages permitting and scheduling to minimize delays. Call (832) 591-7991 for a timeline estimate based on your specific kitchen layout.
What's the average cost of a bathroom remodel in the Houston area?
Houston bathroom remodel costs range widely: a guest-bath refresh with new tile, fixtures, and paint runs $8,000–$18,000; a mid-range master bath with new vanity, shower enclosure, and flooring averages $22,000–$40,000; a luxury spa bath with heated floors, rainfall shower, and custom cabinetry costs $45,000–$75,000+. Material costs vary by neighborhood and product selection (Kohler fixtures cost 15–20% more than Moen, for example). Houston's humidity necessitates premium waterproofing and ventilation, adding 8–12% to baseline costs but preventing costly mold remediation later. For an itemized quote, contact (832) 591-7991.
Does Houston's humidity affect bathroom mold after a remodel?
Yes—Houston's 65–80% average annual humidity creates ideal mold conditions. Post-remodel mold risk increases if exhaust ventilation is inadequate (undersized fans, recirculating hoods) or if waterproofing behind tile is incomplete. Tell Projects mitigates this by: installing 100–120 CFM exhaust fans vented directly outside (not into attic); using Schlüter waterproofing membranes behind all tile; sealing grout with penetrating sealant; and running HVAC dehumidification during humid months (June–September, when indoor humidity easily exceeds 55%). Homeowners should run exhaust fans during and 30 minutes after showers. With proper ventilation and maintenance, mold recurrence drops to near-zero.
What permits are required for a kitchen remodel in Houston?
Houston requires permits for any kitchen remodel involving structural changes, electrical work, plumbing relocation, or gas appliances. Tell Projects secures: building permits (issued by Houston Building Department, valid for 6 months, cost $150–$350); electrical permits (for any new circuits, panel upgrades, $75–$200); plumbing permits (for sink relocation, water line changes, $75–$200); and gas permits (for range/cooktop installation, $50–$150). Permits trigger inspections at framing, rough-in (electrical/plumbing), and final stages—typically adding 2–3 weeks to timelines but ensuring code compliance and insurance coverage. As a licensed general contractor, Tell Projects handles all permitting. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss permit scope for your project.
Can Tell Projects renovate a kitchen while I'm living in the home?
Yes, with caveats. Tell Projects has completed 67 'occupied home' kitchen remodels over the past 5 years, requiring: phased demolition (kitchen shut down during work hours, 7am–5pm Monday–Friday); temporary kitchen setup (hot plate, cooler, portable microwave in another room); dust containment (plastic sheeting, HEPA filtration during demolition); and clear communication on access. Most homeowners find the process manageable for 8–10 week projects but prefer to relocate during heavy construction (weeks 2–5). Tell Projects provides daily cleanup, minimizes noise before 8am and after 5pm, and coordinates with neighbors in attached homes (Katy/Sugar Land townhomes, Houston condos). Occupied remodels may add 1–2 weeks to timeline. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss feasibility for your situation.
What's included in Tell Projects' remodel warranty?
Tell Projects provides: 1-year workmanship warranty on all labor (plumbing fixtures, electrical connections, tile installation, cabinet hanging, etc.); manufacturer warranties on products (10–15 years for roofing, 5–10 years for HVAC, 5–7 years for appliances, 3–5 years for countertops); and lien releases from all subcontractors upon project completion. As a licensed general contractor, we carry liability insurance ($1M–$2M) and maintain bonds to protect homeowners. If defects appear within 12 months (loose grout, leaking fixture, electrical fault), Tell Projects corrects them at no cost. Extended warranties (5–10 years) are available for additional fees on appliances and HVAC. For warranty details, contact (832) 591-7991.
How does Tell Projects handle budget overruns in a Houston remodel?
Tell Projects mitigates overruns through detailed estimates, fixed-price contracts, and Houston-specific contingencies. Our initial proposal includes: itemized labor & materials; 10% contingency for unforeseen conditions (structural rot, plumbing voids, electrical code violations—common in Houston homes built 1980–2005); and a signed contract specifying scope, timeline, and payment schedule. If structural or code issues arise (discovered during demolition), we obtain homeowner approval before proceeding—no work happens without authorization. Material cost fluctuations (lumber, steel, appliances) are locked in contracts, protecting against mid-project price increases. Payment schedules are typically: 25% deposit upon signing, 50% at 50% completion, 25% upon final inspection and cleanup. Since 2015, Tell Projects has completed 96% of projects within 10% of original estimate. For a transparent, detailed estimate, call (832) 591-7991.
