In Houston's competitive remodeling market, homeowners face a critical decision: hire multiple trades or work with a full-service licensed general contractor. Tell Projects is licensed, bonded, and insured across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Galveston counties, covering 23 cities including Houston, Pearland, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Cypress, and Katy. Our license enables us to pull permits, manage inspections, and guarantee code compliance—something most subcontractors cannot do independently. We've completed 200+ projects in the past 8 years, with an average project duration 18% shorter than industry standard. This speed comes from vertical integration: we employ in-house electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians, reducing scheduling conflicts and change-order surprises. Houston's humidity and heat place unique demands on HVAC and roofing systems; our team understands local building codes, flood risk zones, and energy-efficiency standards that maximize your home's resilience. For multifamily properties—duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment complexes—we offer staged renovation strategies that keep units occupied and generating rent during construction. Contact us at (832) 591-7991 to learn how our integrated approach saves time and money.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels are the highest-ROI renovations in Houston, returning 60–75% of project cost at resale. Tell Projects has completed 140+ kitchen and bath projects ranging from $15,000 budget refreshes to $150,000+ luxury renovations. Our process begins with a detailed scope meeting in your home, followed by 3D CAD renderings so you see the final result before construction starts. We source materials locally and nationally, leveraging relationships with distributors to secure competitive pricing on cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures, and appliances. In kitchens, we specialize in galley-to-open-concept transformations, island installations, and appliance upgrades (gas ranges, dual ovens, induction cooktops). For bathrooms, we handle walk-in showers, soaking tubs, heated floors, and ventilation systems sized for Houston's moisture-heavy climate. All plumbing and electrical work is performed by licensed techs; we pull permits and schedule city inspections at no hidden cost. Recent projects in Montrose, Bellaire, and West University averaged 8-week timelines and achieved 72% higher-than-expected resale value lift.

Tell Projects' signature strength is multifamily renovation—a service most Houston remodelers avoid due to complexity and coordination demands. We've renovated 35+ duplex, triplex, and small apartment properties across the Houston metro, managing unit-by-unit upgrades while maintaining operational cash flow. Our multifamily expertise includes: staged turnover strategies (renovating 1–2 units per month to avoid occupancy loss), bulk procurement discounts (15–25% savings on materials ordered in volume), and property-manager coordination (we provide weekly progress reports and minimize tenant disruption). A typical 12-unit property might budget $8,000–$12,000 per unit for a full refresh (flooring, paint, fixtures, appliance upgrades); our integrated approach often completes a 12-unit project in 16–20 weeks, versus 8–12 months under traditional general contracting. We hold a current General Contractor License issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which is mandatory for multifamily work involving structural or mechanical systems. Investors and property managers in Sugar Land, Kingwood, Humble, and Conroe rely on us for predictable budgets and transparent timelines. We also coordinate with your insurance and lender for property-improvement financing. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss your multifamily strategy.
Beyond remodeling, Tell Projects offers full-service mechanical and structural upgrades. Houston's intense summer heat (100°F+ for 80+ days annually) and humidity demand robust HVAC systems; we install and replace units sized for optimal efficiency, achieving 16–18 SEER ratings that reduce cooling costs by 25–35% versus 10-year-old systems. Our electricians handle panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and whole-home surge protection—increasingly important in a region prone to thunderstorms and power surges. Plumbing services include water heater upgrades (hybrid electric-heat-pump models reduce energy use by 40%), fixture replacements, and re-piping for homes with older galvanized or poly-B lines. Roofing projects range from repair to full replacement; we install impact-resistant shingles and metal roofing that withstand Houston's hail risk and qualify for 10–15% homeowner insurance discounts. All trades employ licensed, background-checked technicians who follow EPA, OSHA, and TDLR standards. Recent electrical panel upgrades in the Heights and Midtown averaged $3,500–$5,200; HVAC replacements averaged $5,800–$8,500 installed. We provide 10-year warranties on major systems and 5-year warranties on labor. Schedule a mechanical assessment by calling (832) 591-7991.
Houston's permit process involves Harris County Building Services and/or city of Houston Department of Housing and Community Development, depending on location. Tell Projects handles all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance—a $500–$2,000 value per project that most contractors pass to homeowners. Our average project timeline: permits (1–3 weeks), pre-construction (1 week), construction (4–12 weeks depending on scope), and final inspections (3–5 days). We use project-management software to track daily progress, material delivery, and crew scheduling; homeowners receive weekly updates and can request on-site walkthroughs. Quality assurance includes pre-drywall inspections (electrical, plumbing, HVAC rough-in verified), mid-project reviews, and a comprehensive final walkthrough with homeowner sign-off before payment release. We stand behind our work with written warranties: 10 years on structural/roofing, 5 years on mechanical systems, 2 years on finishes. For projects over $50,000, we offer milestone-based payment plans (typically: 30% down, 40% at 50% completion, 30% at final inspection) to protect both homeowner and contractor. Our job sites maintain 8/10+ cleanliness scores and comply with lien-notice and insurance documentation. Get a free project timeline and scope by calling (832) 591-7991.
A 1,850 sq ft home in Bellaire underwent a galley-to-open-concept kitchen renovation (320 sq ft renovation area). Scope: new cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, LED lighting, and electrical panel expansion. Cost: $67,500. Timeline: 9 weeks start to finish. Result: resale appraisal increased by $74,000 (110% return). Homeowner reported 35% reduction in cooling costs due to HVAC optimization. Completed under budget by $3,200.
2-unit duplex (each 1,200 sq ft) in Montrose underwent full interior refresh: new flooring (vinyl plank), fresh paint, fixture upgrades, HVAC replacement (both units). Total investment: $38,000 ($19,000 per unit). Timeline: 12 weeks (both units overlapped). Rental income increased from $2,400 to $2,900 per unit/month (20.8% lift). ROI achieved in 18 months. Insurance discount for new electrical: $180/year per unit.
12-unit apartment complex (each 900 sq ft) underwent staggered renovation: 4 units per quarter. Per-unit scope: new appliances, bathroom fixture upgrades, paint, vinyl flooring. Cost: $9,500 per unit ($114,000 total). Timeline: 24 weeks (1–2 units monthly). Result: 94% occupancy maintained throughout; unit rents increased 12–15% post-renovation. New tenant acquisition 3 weeks faster than pre-renovation baseline.
A standard kitchen remodel (cabinetry, countertops, appliances, new flooring, electrical/plumbing upgrades) takes 8–10 weeks from permit approval to final inspection. This timeline assumes no structural changes. Galley-to-open-concept projects involving wall removal add 2–4 weeks for structural engineering and framing. Houston's permit window (1–3 weeks) is the primary scheduling variable. We use parallel workflows—demolition, framing, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, drywall, and finishes overlap where possible—to maintain momentum. Weather rarely delays indoor projects, but summer scheduling may add 1–2 weeks due to crew availability. We provide a detailed Gantt chart during pre-construction so you know exact start and completion dates.
Houston bathroom remodel costs range from $12,000 (modest updates: fixtures, tile, paint) to $50,000+ (luxury: heated floors, custom tile work, high-end fixtures). A mid-range remodel (standard fixture package, new tile, vanity, mirror, lighting) averages $22,000–$28,000 for a 5' x 8' bathroom. Factors affecting cost: existing plumbing and electrical (relocation adds $1,500–$3,000), tile complexity (simple subway: $800–$1,200 vs. custom mosaic: $2,500+), and fixture brands. Houston's humidity makes proper ventilation critical; we size exhaust fans (CFM rating) to local codes, typically adding $400–$800 to project cost but preventing future mold issues. We offer free in-home estimates with itemized breakdowns.
We handle all permit applications, submissions, and inspection scheduling for Harris County and city of Houston jurisdictions. Our process: (1) Design finalization and permit-ready drawings (1 week), (2) Permit application filing ($200–$800 fee depending on project scope; we absorb this), (3) City review and approval (5–15 business days), (4) Job-site inspections at framing, mechanical rough-in, and final stages. Houston requires separate electrical and plumbing permits for projects over $5,000; we coordinate with licensed inspectors and ensure all work meets 2021 International Building Code (IBC) standards adopted locally. Permit delays are rare but can occur if drawings lack detail; we avoid this by using certified draftspeople. You'll receive copies of all permits and final sign-offs for your records and insurance.
We provide tiered warranties: 10-year structural warranty (framing, load-bearing changes), 5-year warranty on mechanical systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), 2-year warranty on cabinetry and finish work, and 1-year warranty on appliances (manufacturer-backed). Any defects in workmanship are covered during warranty periods—no deductible, no gotchas. We also carry $2M general liability insurance and bonding, so if we fail to perform, your claim is protected. After warranty expiration, we offer discounted service calls (labor at cost) for troubleshooting. This warranty is included in your contract; no upgrades to purchase. We've honored 98% of warranty claims within 5 business days.
Yes. We specialize in multifamily renovation for duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment complexes (2–50 units). Our investor-focused services include: (1) Per-unit cost estimation with bulk discounts (typically 15–25% savings vs. single-home pricing), (2) Staged turnover planning (renovating 1–3 units per month to preserve rental income), (3) Lender coordination for construction loans and property-improvement financing, (4) Weekly progress reporting with photo documentation, (5) Lease-compliant project management (no tenant disruption outside business hours). A 12-unit project typically costs $9,500–$12,000 per unit for full refresh and generates 12–18% rent lift post-completion. We've worked with PM companies in Sugar Land, Kingwood, and Conroe; references available upon request.
Houston's average summer temperature (92–95°F) and humidity (70–85%) mean HVAC systems run 250+ days annually. We recommend high-SEER units (16–18 SEER minimum) with variable-speed compressors and dehumidification-optimized refrigerant lines; these reduce energy bills by 25–35% and extend system lifespan from 12 to 15+ years. Roofing faces hail risk (average 1–2 hail events annually in Harris County) and intense UV exposure; we install impact-resistant shingles or metal roofing with 30–40-year warranties. Some homeowners qualify for 10–15% homeowner insurance discounts with impact-resistant roofing, offsetting material premium in 3–5 years. HVAC units in high-humidity areas also need sized ductwork and proper return-air filtration (MERV 11–13) to prevent mold growth in attics and crawlspaces—a cost we factor into every quote.
We serve 23 cities across the greater Houston metropolitan area, including central Houston (Midtown, Heights, Montrose, Bellaire, West University), inner-ring suburbs (Pearland, Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress), and northern areas (The Woodlands, Conroe, Kingwood, Spring, Humble). Our service boundary extends from Galveston County (south) to Montgomery County (north) and from Waller County (west) to Chambers County (east). All projects within this zone receive the same level of service: free in-home estimates, local crew deployment (no traveling contractors), and emergency service access. Projects outside the primary service area are evaluated case-by-case; contact us at (832) 591-7991 to confirm your address.
