Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Services Across Houston Neighborhoods
Kitchen and bathroom remodels represent the highest-return investments in Houston real estate. Tell Projects specializes in both spaces with designs that maximize functionality while enhancing property value. In kitchens, we handle cabinetry, countertops, appliance installation, backsplashes, lighting, and plumbing relocations—often saving homeowners 12-18% on utility costs through efficient appliance selection and proper layout.

We've completed over 200 kitchen and bathroom projects across Houston neighborhoods including Spring Branch, Bellaire, West University, and the Galleria area. Each project begins with a detailed consultation and 3D renderings so clients can visualize the finished space before construction starts.

Our team has executed renovation programs across 50+ apartment communities in the Houston metro, managing everything from common area upgrades to unit-by-unit renovations while maintaining occupancy rates and tenant satisfaction. Our Licensed General Contractor status allows us to oversee all trades—electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and general carpentry—reducing project overhead and improving coordination. For multifamily clients, we offer phased renovation schedules that minimize vacancy loss, standardized unit designs that reduce labor costs by 15-22%, and supply-chain partnerships that keep material costs competitive across large-scale projects.

Roofing, Electrical & HVAC Services for Complete Home Systems
Remodeling extends beyond aesthetics—critical home systems require expert attention, especially in Houston's heat and humidity. Tell Projects offers roofing, electrical, and HVAC services as integrated components of larger remodels or as standalone projects. Our roofing team works with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat commercial membranes, all engineered to withstand Gulf Coast weather, including high winds and intense UV exposure. We've completed over 180 roofing projects across the Houston metro, from residential homes in Sugar Land to commercial properties in the Energy Corridor. Our electrical expertise covers panel upgrades, rewiring, outdoor living installations, and smart home integration—essential upgrades for homes where older systems can't support modern appliance loads. HVAC work includes new system installations, ductwork modifications, and efficiency upgrades; Houston homeowners typically see 20-25% reductions in cooling costs after our system redesigns. All work is performed under our Licensed General Contractor credentials and backed by manufacturer warranties. We pull all necessary permits through the City of Houston and Harris County and conduct final inspections to ensure compliance. Whether you need a roof replacement before selling, an electrical panel upgrade to support a kitchen remodel, or HVAC optimization to reduce summer utility bills, our crews deliver professional results on schedule.

Recent Projects in Houston
Westlake Kitchen Remodel (March 2023)
A 2,100-sqft Westlake home underwent a complete kitchen renovation, including new cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and electrical upgrades to support modern cooking equipment. The homeowner's original estimate from a big-box retailer was $62,000; Tell Projects completed the project for $54,800, a 12% savings. The design incorporated a new island with seating for 4, repositioned plumbing to create a wet bar, and added recessed LED lighting controlled by smart switches. Project timeline: 8 weeks. The home sold 6 months later for $18,500 above asking price, with the kitchen cited as a major appeal by the buyer's inspector.
Pearland Multifamily Bathroom Program (June–December 2022)
Tell Projects executed a unit-by-unit bathroom renovation program across a 120-unit apartment community in Pearland. Each unit received tile shower walls, new vanities, updated plumbing fixtures, and improved ventilation to combat Houston humidity. Phased scheduling allowed the community to maintain 95% occupancy throughout the 6-month project. Material cost per unit: $7,200; labor cost per unit: $4,800 (total $144,000). Standardized design reduced variability and rework by 18% compared to the property manager's initial vendor bids. Post-renovation, the community increased rent by $85–$110 per unit, generating an additional $102,000 annually in gross revenue.
Energy Corridor Electrical & HVAC Upgrade (September 2023)
A 3,500-sqft Energy Corridor home required a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade and HVAC system replacement due to age and undersizing. The original 80-amp panel couldn't support new appliances; the original 3-ton AC system cycled constantly in Houston's summer heat, driving electric bills to $380+ monthly. Tell Projects installed a new 200-amp panel, upgraded wiring in two circuits, installed a new 5-ton variable-speed HVAC system with zoning, and improved ductwork insulation. Project cost: $19,400. Within 3 months, the homeowner's average electric bill dropped to $265 monthly—a 30% reduction. The HVAC system now maintains consistent temperature across all zones and cycles 35% less frequently, extending equipment lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Houston's humidity affect kitchen and bathroom remodeling choices?
Houston's subtropical climate—with average humidity of 65-75% year-round—requires moisture-resistant materials and proper ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms. Tell Projects specifies cement board instead of drywall behind tile, uses mold-resistant paint, and installs exhaust fans rated for 80-100 CFM (cubic feet per minute) in bathrooms to remove moisture rapidly. Kitchen backsplashes are sealed with epoxy grout rather than traditional grout, preventing mold and mildew growth. We also recommend dehumidifying systems in homes with poor air circulation or history of moisture issues. These upgrades cost 8-12% more upfront but prevent costly mold remediation and structural damage over time—a worthwhile investment in Houston's climate.
What permits are required for remodeling projects in Houston?
Houston and Harris County require permits for most remodeling work, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and structural changes. Kitchen and bathroom remodels typically require electrical and plumbing permits; the cost ranges from $200 to $600 depending on scope. Tell Projects handles all permit applications as part of our service—we pull permits, schedule inspections, and ensure final sign-offs so you're protected from future liability. Our Licensed General Contractor status allows us to self-inspect certain electrical and plumbing work, streamlining the permitting process. Most residential permits are approved within 5-10 business days. We factor permit costs and inspection timelines into our project estimates so there are no surprises.
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in the Houston area?
A mid-range kitchen remodel (cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, minor plumbing) typically takes 6-10 weeks from start to finish. More complex projects involving electrical upgrades, appliance repositioning, or structural changes may extend to 12-14 weeks. Weather doesn't significantly delay interior work in Houston (unlike northern climates), but permit review timelines can add 2-3 weeks. Tell Projects schedules projects in phases: demolition (1-2 weeks), rough-in electrical and plumbing (1-2 weeks), cabinetry and countertop installation (2-3 weeks), finishing work including paint and flooring (1-2 weeks), and final inspection and cleanup (3-5 days). We provide a detailed Gantt chart before work begins so you know exactly when each phase occurs. Most clients find the actual work less disruptive than anticipated when phases are well-coordinated.
What's the typical cost range for a bathroom remodel in Houston neighborhoods like Spring Branch or Bellaire?
A quality bathroom remodel in Spring Branch, Bellaire, or similar Houston neighborhoods typically ranges from $22,000 to $55,000, depending on size, finishes, and scope. A basic remodel (new vanity, toilet, tile shower, lighting, paint) averages $22,000–$32,000 for a 40-sqft bathroom. Mid-range projects adding custom cabinetry, heated floors, double vanities, and high-end fixtures run $35,000–$48,000. Luxury remodels with custom tile work, spa-like features, and premium fixtures reach $50,000+. Tell Projects provides a detailed cost breakdown: materials (35-45%), labor (40-50%), permits and overhead (5-10%). Financing options including home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and contractor partnerships can make projects more affordable. Call (832) 591-7991 for a custom estimate based on your space and design preferences.
Does Tell Projects handle storm damage repairs and insurance claims in Houston?
Yes, Tell Projects frequently manages insurance claims for storm damage, including roof damage, water intrusion, and structural repairs. Houston experiences hail storms, severe wind events, and occasional hurricanes that damage roofing, siding, and interior spaces. We work directly with your insurance company by providing detailed damage assessments, repair quotes, and photographic documentation. In many cases, insurance covers 80-100% of repair costs after deductibles. We also help clients navigate the claims process—our estimators understand insurance language and can explain why certain repairs are necessary (e.g., if hail damaged the roof, underlying decking may also require replacement). For water intrusion claims, we identify the source, prevent further damage, and execute drying and restoration work in coordination with your adjuster. Our Licensed General Contractor credentials and experience with Houston weather events make us a trusted partner in the claims process.
Can Tell Projects handle a complete home renovation combining kitchen, bathroom, electrical, and HVAC work?
Absolutely. This is where Tell Projects' full-service General Contractor model shines. Instead of coordinating multiple subcontractors, you work with a single licensed team managing all trades. A complete home renovation—combining kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical panel expansion, and HVAC system replacement—might take 4-6 months depending on scope and home size. We create a master schedule ensuring trades don't conflict and each phase completes on time. For example, electrical and HVAC rough-in work happens simultaneously, saving 2-3 weeks. We also maintain a single project manager as your point of contact, reducing communication overhead and ensuring consistency. Complete home renovations typically cost $85,000–$200,000+ depending on home size and finish levels. Tell Projects has completed 40+ full-home renovations across the Houston metro, with average client satisfaction ratings of 4.8/5.0 stars. We'd love to discuss your vision; call (832) 591-7991 today.
How does Tell Projects ensure quality and accountability during a remodeling project?
Quality and accountability are embedded in our process. First, we employ only salaried crews and licensed subcontractors—no day laborers or fly-by-night crews. Second, we use project management software (BuildTrack or similar) that clients can access in real time to see daily progress, photos, and punch lists. Third, we conduct daily safety briefings and weekly quality inspections by our project manager. Fourth, all work is backed by manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 5-10 years) and workmanship guarantees (2 years on labor). Fifth, we maintain comprehensive liability insurance and bonding. Finally, we collect 50% upon contract signing, 40% at the midpoint, and 10% upon final inspection—never asking for full payment upfront. Tell Projects has been a Licensed General Contractor in Texas for 11+ years with zero filed complaints on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) database. You can verify our credentials anytime. We believe accountability builds trust and repeat business.
