Full-Service Remodeling Contractors Licensed to Work Across Houston
Tell Projects holds a full general contractor license, which means we're qualified and bonded to manage every aspect of your remodeling project—from permitting and structural work to finish carpentry and inspections. We're not a referral service; we employ in-house crews across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and carpentry disciplines. This direct control ensures quality consistency, faster timelines, and transparent pricing. Our teams have completed over 300 residential and multifamily projects across 23 Houston-area cities, including Spring, Cypress, Humble, Sugar Land, and beyond. Unlike contractors who outsource everything, we maintain accountability throughout every phase. For kitchen remodels, we handle structural modifications, cabinet installation, countertop fabrication, and electrical/gas line relocation. Bathroom remodels include tile work, waterproofing, fixture installation, and exhaust ventilation sizing for Houston's high-humidity environment. Roofing projects benefit from crews trained on local hurricane codes and wind ratings. When you call (832) 591-7991, you're reaching a team that will manage your entire project, not field subcontractor conflicts. We pride ourselves on transparent communication, fixed-price estimates, and delivering projects on schedule and within budget—whether your remodel is a $25,000 bathroom update or a $500,000 multifamily renovation.
Multifamily Renovation Expertise in Houston's Growing Metro
Houston's rental market is booming, and property managers increasingly need contractors who understand multifamily renovation at scale. Tell Projects has earned a reputation for completing large-unit apartment and townhome projects without disrupting resident operations. We've renovated kitchen and bathroom suites across 150+ units in single projects, coordinating move-outs, phased work schedules, and final inspections with property management software integration. Our multifamily experience means we understand the economics of renovation—we know how to spec durable finishes, minimize callbacks, and deliver visual impact within budget constraints. We've completed projects in Midtown, Bellaire, the Energy Corridor, and rapidly growing suburbs like Katy and The Woodlands. For multifamily clients, we offer streamlined permitting, bulk material sourcing discounts, and crew scheduling that minimizes vacancy loss. Our in-house teams ensure consistency across 20, 50, or 100-unit renovations; no surprises with subcontractor no-shows or quality variance between units. We also understand Houston's tax incentive programs for property improvement and can advise on compliance with energy codes. Contact us at (832) 591-7991 to discuss how we've helped other multifamily operators increase property values and tenant satisfaction through strategic renovation planning.
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Built for Houston's Climate
Houston's heat and humidity present unique challenges for kitchen and bathroom remodels. Moisture infiltration, mold risk, and HVAC strain require thoughtful design and material selection—details many contractors overlook. Tell Projects specifications include proper ventilation sizing (we calculate CFM requirements based on kitchen square footage and cooking appliance load), humidity-resistant drywall in wet areas, and tile installation with cement board backing and appropriate grout sealants. Our kitchen remodels average 4–6 weeks and include cabinet fabrication, countertop installation (quartz, granite, or solid surface), appliance integration, backsplash tiling, and full electrical and plumbing coordination. We've completed 89 kitchen remodels in the past 3 years, with average client satisfaction scores of 4.8/5. Bathroom remodels typically run 3–4 weeks and feature custom tile layouts, waterproof shower pan installation, ventilation upgrades, fixture selection, and lighting design. For both kitchens and bathrooms, we source materials locally where possible, reducing lead times and supporting Houston suppliers. We also provide design consultation—many clients find our in-house team more responsive than third-party designers. Typical kitchen budgets range from $30,000–$80,000; bathrooms from $15,000–$50,000, depending on scope and material selections. Call (832) 591-7991 to schedule a kitchen or bathroom consultation.
Roofing, Electrical & HVAC Services Integrated into Every Project
Comprehensive remodeling often requires roofing, electrical, or HVAC upgrades—and coordinating these trades is where many contractors stumble. Tell Projects eliminates that friction by maintaining dedicated roofing, electrical, and HVAC teams. Our roofing division specializes in asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roof systems; all work complies with Houston building codes and wind-resistance standards required post-hurricane. We've completed 156 roofing projects in the greater Houston area, with average lifespan projections of 20–25 years for asphalt and 40+ years for metal. Electrical work includes panel upgrades, circuit additions, EV charger installation, and smart home automation wiring. We've upgraded electrical systems in 200+ homes to support modern demand (average panel upgrade cost: $3,500–$6,000). HVAC services include unit replacement, ductwork redesign, and efficiency optimization—critical in Houston's 9-month cooling season. A properly sized system saves 15–20% on cooling bills compared to oversized units. All three trades are coordinated through a single project manager, ensuring code compliance, warranty coverage, and seamless integration with kitchen, bathroom, or general renovation work. Many clients bundle these services; for example, a kitchen remodel + electrical panel upgrade + HVAC efficiency audit often qualifies for package pricing. Reach out at (832) 591-7991 to discuss integrated service options.
Serving 23 Houston Metro Cities with Local Expertise & Fast Response
Tell Projects operates across the entire greater Houston metropolitan area, covering 23 cities and neighborhoods from Conroe south to Pearland and west to Katy. This geographic footprint means faster response times, lower travel costs, and deep familiarity with local permitting requirements and building inspectors. We maintain satellite coordinators in the Energy Corridor, Tomball, and Sugar Land to reduce scheduling delays. Our crews are familiar with neighborhood design guidelines in areas like Bellaire, West University, and Tanglewood, as well as HOA requirements and architectural review boards common in suburban developments. We've completed projects in zip codes 77006 (Montrose), 77019 (Uptown/Galleria), 77025 (Museum District), 77056 (Energy Corridor), 77004 (Downtown), 77027 (Midtown), and dozens more. Local expertise also means we understand seasonal challenges—for example, scheduling around Houston's brief winter to avoid weather delays, or planning multifamily work around school calendars in family-oriented neighborhoods. Our average response time from initial inquiry to in-person estimate is 48 hours. We've built relationships with local suppliers, material distributors, and permitting offices, which accelerates project timelines. Whether your remodel is in the heart of Houston or a growing suburb 30 miles out, you'll work with a team that knows the area intimately. Call (832) 591-7991 for a consultation in your neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between kitchen remodel styles that work in Houston's heat?
Houston's climate and strong sun exposure mean kitchen materials need to handle heat and UV fading. We recommend light-colored countertops (quartz resists heat better than laminate), stainless steel or light-finish cabinetry (darker finishes can warp in direct sun), and quality window treatments or exterior shading to reduce interior heat gain. For backsplashes, glazed ceramic or porcelain tile resists staining from humidity-driven dust accumulation. Appliance placement matters too—positioning refrigerators away from south-facing windows reduces cooling load and energy bills. We've found that kitchens with open shelving or glass-front cabinets in upper sections feel airier and are easier to keep clean in Houston's humid environment. Our designers consider local climate in every spec; call (832) 591-7991 to discuss your kitchen style preferences and Houston-specific recommendations.
What's the typical timeline for a bathroom remodel in Houston?
A standard bathroom remodel (vanity, toilet, shower enclosure, flooring, paint, lighting) typically takes 3–4 weeks from demolition to final inspection, assuming no structural surprises. Larger projects—those involving plumbing relocation, waterproofing structural elements, or custom tile work—can extend to 6–8 weeks. Houston-specific delays sometimes occur during hurricane season (August–October) when material lead times stretch to 4–6 weeks for specialty items. We recommend scheduling bathroom remodels in spring or fall to avoid summer heat (which accelerates grout curing and paint drying, affecting quality) and winter moisture (which can cause finish issues in our climate). Our project managers build 10% timeline buffer for permit reviews and inspector scheduling, which in Harris County typically requires 5–7 business days. If you need a guaranteed completion date, discuss expedited permitting options when you call (832) 591-7991.
How does Houston's humidity affect HVAC sizing in renovated homes?
Houston's average humidity sits 60–75%, and during summer, indoor humidity can spike to 80%+ without proper AC sizing and ventilation. Standard HVAC calculations (based on square footage and climate zone) often underestimate Houston homes' needs because humidity removal requires additional cooling capacity. We size systems using the Manual J calculation, which factors Houston's 95°F outdoor design temperature, typical indoor humidity targets (45–55%), and thermal load. An undersized system runs constantly without reaching set points, driving up energy bills and failing to dehumidify adequately. An oversized system short-cycles, wasting energy and leaving humidity uncontrolled. For a 2,500 sq ft home, Houston typically requires 4–5 tons of cooling (vs. 3–4 tons in drier climates). New construction in the metro averages 3.5–4.5 tons per 1,000 sq ft. During bathroom or kitchen remodels, we evaluate existing ductwork for leaks (many Houston homes have 15–20% duct leakage) and can reduce bills 10–15% with sealing alone. Call (832) 591-7991 for a complimentary HVAC evaluation during your remodel planning.
Does Tell Projects handle permitting for remodeling projects in Houston?
Yes—permitting is included in our project management and pricing. Tell Projects holds a licensed general contractor license, which authorizes us to pull permits on our clients' behalf in Harris County and all 23 cities where we operate. We prepare permit applications, submit technical drawings, coordinate with plan reviewers, and schedule inspections. For kitchen remodels, typical permitting takes 7–10 business days; bathrooms 5–7 days; roofing and electrical 5–10 days depending on reviewer workload. Houston's permit office (Houston Building and Standards Division) processes applications Monday–Friday; we batch submissions to optimize review cycles. Our coordinators have established relationships with most reviewers, which often accelerates approvals. Permit costs vary: kitchen remodels typically cost $400–$800 in permit fees; bathrooms $200–$500; roofing $300–$600. These fees are included in our estimate upfront. We also ensure all work passes final inspection, and we handle any required revisions at no extra cost. This eliminates back-and-forth with the city and gives you peace of mind that your renovation is code-compliant. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss your project scope and permit timeline.
What should I expect to pay for a kitchen remodel in the Houston area?
Kitchen remodel costs in Houston range from $30,000 (basic cabinet refresh, new countertops, paint) to $150,000+ (full gut remodel with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, structural changes). Most homeowners invest $50,000–$80,000 for a mid-range remodel that significantly improves functionality and appearance without luxury finishes. Cost drivers include: cabinet style ($8,000–$25,000 for semi-custom to custom), countertop material ($4,000–$12,000 for quartz or granite), appliances ($3,000–$8,000 for quality brands), and structural/electrical/plumbing work ($5,000–$20,000 if moving walls or adding circuits). Labor typically represents 40–50% of total project cost. Houston's competitive contractor market means pricing is reasonable compared to coastal metros, but material and labor costs have risen 8–12% annually over the past 3 years. We provide detailed estimates breaking down labor, materials, and contingency (typically 10% for unforeseen issues). Many clients finance remodels via home equity lines or renovation loans; we can discuss financing strategies and ROI (kitchen remodels typically return 60–70% of investment at resale). For a personalized estimate, call (832) 591-7991.
How do I know Tell Projects is licensed and insured?
Tell Projects holds a full Texas State License as a Licensed General Contractor, required for all work exceeding $5,000 in value. Our license number and verification are available on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) website and upon request. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance ($2 million coverage), workers' compensation insurance for all employees, and tools/equipment coverage. We also maintain a $500,000 performance bond on projects over $100,000, protecting clients against contractor default or non-completion. Before any work begins, we provide proof of insurance, a detailed scope of work, and a signed contract outlining timeline, costs, payment schedule (typically 25% deposit, 50% upon framing/rough-in completion, 25% upon final inspection), and warranty terms. All Tell Projects employees are background-checked and trained on site safety and Houston building codes. We encourage clients to verify our license and file a complaint with TDLR if any issues arise post-project (we maintain a clean record). For verification or insurance documentation, contact us at (832) 591-7991.
What warranty do you offer on remodeling work in Houston?
Tell Projects provides a standard 1-year warranty on all labor and materials, covering defects, finish issues, and workmanship. If a cabinet door warps, grout cracks, or an outlet malfunctions within 12 months, we repair or replace it at no cost. For roofing, we offer a 5-year labor warranty on shingles/flashing and back manufacturer warranties (typically 15–25 years on materials). HVAC systems include a 5-year labor warranty and manufacturer warranties ranging 5–10 years depending on equipment type. Plumbing fixtures carry 1–5 year manufacturer warranties; we warrant all installation work for 1 year. For multifamily projects, we typically extend warranties to 18 months given the exposure and tenant turnover. Our warranty terms are detailed in the contract, and clients can request coverage extensions at project start. Most issues (loose cabinets, caulk gaps, fixture leaks) surface within the first 3 months; we conduct a 30-day walk-through to identify and address minor items before they escalate. Tell Projects' reputation depends on standing behind our work—warranty claims are honored promptly, typically within 5 business days of notification. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss warranty options for your project.
