Professional Remodeling Services Across Houston TX & Metro

Houston's average humidity exceeds 70% year-round and climbs above 85% in summer, which slows drywall compound curing, tile grout setting, and paint application. Our crews account for this by scheduling humidity-sensitive phases (mudding, tile grouting, finishing paint) during cooler, lower-humidity mornings and using accelerators where appropriate. A typical bathroom renovation takes 7–10 days in Houston versus 5–7 days in drier climates. We also specify moisture-resistant drywall (Type X mold-resistant) in all wet areas and install appropriately sized exhaust ventilation before closing walls, preventing mold in the months and years after project completion. Understanding Houston's climate is why we don't apply generic contractor timelines.

The City of Houston requires permits for any remodeling affecting electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural changes, or additions. Kitchen and bathroom projects typically require electrical and plumbing permits; roof replacement requires a roofing permit; HVAC replacement requires an HVAC permit. Tell Projects manages all permit applications on your behalf, scheduling inspections at appropriate milestones (rough-in, final). Inspection turnaround in Houston is typically 2–5 business days. Our license ensures familiarity with current codes (Houston adopted 2021 International Building Code in 2023, with ongoing updates). When you hire us, permit fees and inspection coordination are included in our pricing; there are no surprise compliance costs.

Kitchen remodel budgets in the Houston area range from $18,000 (minor refresh: new cabinets, counters, appliances, paint) to $85,000+ (high-end custom cabinetry, quartz counters, premium appliances, layout changes with plumbing/electrical relocation). In The Woodlands and Sugar Land, where homes are typically larger (2,500–4,000 sq ft) and builder-grade kitchens common, a mid-range remodel averages $38,000–$55,000 for a 250–350 sq ft kitchen. We've completed 340+ kitchens across these neighborhoods; our average cost per square foot is $120–$180 depending on finishes. We provide a detailed estimate within 48 hours of a home visit, breaking down cabinets, countertops, appliances, labor, permits, and contingency. Financing options and payment plans are available.

A standard HVAC replacement—furnace/air handler and condenser unit—takes 1–2 days for removal and installation, plus 1 additional day for permitting and inspection. Tell Projects coordinates with the City of Houston or applicable jurisdiction to schedule the inspection within 48–72 hours. The total project window is typically 4–6 business days from start to final sign-off. Ductwork modifications (common in kitchens or home additions) add 1–3 days. We handle all permitting, load calculations (Manual J), and equipment selection. Most Houston homes benefit from a 14–16 SEER system, which costs $6,500–$10,000 fully installed, but reduces cooling costs by 25–40% versus equipment older than 15 years. We're licensed to install and warrant all work for 10 years.

Roof replacement cost in Houston ranges from $12,000 to $28,000 depending on roof size, material, and underlying deck condition. An average 3,500–4,200 sq ft single-family home roof costs $16,000–$21,000 for asphalt Class 3–4 impact-rated shingles. Metal roofing (growing popular in Texas for durability and energy savings) runs $22,000–$32,000 for the same footprint but lasts 40–60 years versus 20–25 for asphalt. Our crews handle complete tear-off, inspection of decking and framing, installation of new underlayment (critical for moisture management in Houston's climate), and proper ventilation setup. We guarantee workmanship for 10 years. Class 4 impact rating qualifies you for potential homeowners insurance premium reductions of 8–15% in many Houston ZIP codes, offsetting upgrade costs within 5–7 years.

Yes, we have extensive experience in flood-prone Houston neighborhoods, including Meyerland, Briarforest, Bellaire, and areas near Greens Bayou. Remodeling in these zones requires specialized knowledge: elevated electrical systems, flood-resistant materials (concrete, tile, stainless steel vs. drywall in lower areas), moisture barriers, and documentation for flood insurance or lender compliance. We've completed 28+ flood-resilience renovations where homeowners upgraded lower-level mechanical systems, installed sump pumps, applied hydrophobic coatings, and selected flood-resistant finishes. We're familiar with FEMA flood maps, elevation requirements, and local building department expectations in these sensitive areas. If your home is in a flood zone, tell us during your initial consultation; we'll factor elevated standards into design and estimate.

Absolutely—this is a core strength. We've completed 87+ unit renovations in occupied multifamily buildings across Houston and the metro. Our approach: coordinate unit-by-unit work on a 48–72 hour cycle (residents relocated to temporary housing or alternate unit), with strict noise and access windows (typically 8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays). We provide advance notice to residents, maintain emergency contact procedures, and repair any accidental damage immediately. We've managed concurrent work (some units in kitchen phase, others in electrical, others finishing) to maintain momentum and predictable timelines. Property managers appreciate our transparency: weekly reports, cost tracking, and change-order discipline prevent budget overruns. Our licensed status means all electrical, plumbing, and HVAC upgrades are permitted and inspected, supporting FHA insurance and refinancing applications. For multifamily projects, call (832) 591-7991 to discuss your property's specific needs.
