Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling in Houston's Top Neighborhoods
Kitchen and bathroom remodels are our signature service, transforming outdated spaces into modern, functional centers of your home. In neighborhoods like Montrose, West University, and The Woodlands, we've completed over 180 kitchen renovations that blend custom cabinetry, granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern lighting—with an average ROI of 68% upon resale. Bathroom projects range from simple updates (new fixtures, tile, paint) to luxury spa-style bathrooms with heated floors, frameless showers, and dual vanities. Our kitchen remodels typically cost $50,000–$150,000; bathrooms $20,000–$80,000. We source materials from premium suppliers and manage every detail: layout optimization, plumbing relocation, electrical upgrades, and ventilation. Houston's humid climate demands proper exhaust and moisture control—we size and install HVAC components to prevent mold and maintain indoor air quality. Recent projects in Bellaire and Sugar Land showcase our attention to detail: custom tile work, under-cabinet lighting, and storage solutions that maximize both aesthetics and utility. Each remodel begins with 3D renderings so you see exactly what you're getting before construction starts. Our team works with your timeline and budget, providing weekly progress updates. For a complimentary design consultation, call (832) 591-7991 and ask about our kitchen and bath portfolio.
Roofing, Electrical, and HVAC Remodeling Services
Beyond kitchens and baths, Tell Projects provides specialized remodeling in three critical home systems: roofing, electrical, and HVAC. Houston's intense heat, humidity, and occasional severe weather demand high-performance roofs; we install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed products with 25–50 year warranties. Roof replacements typically cost $12,000–$35,000 depending on size and material; we handle tearoff, disposal, new underlayment, and flashing per Houston building code. Our electrical remodeling services include panel upgrades (essential for older homes in neighborhoods like Midtown or Washington Avenue looking to add circuits), EV charger installation, smart home wiring, and code-compliant rewiring. Many homes built before 2000 need capacity increases—we've upgraded 80+ panels across the metro to handle modern loads. HVAC remodeling focuses on system replacement, ductwork optimization, and zone control installation. Houston's 9+ months of cooling demand makes HVAC selection critical; we install energy-efficient units (16–18 SEER) that reduce summer bills by 20–30%. Our technicians perform load calculations to ensure proper sizing—an oversized unit wastes money, while undersized units won't keep up. All electrical and HVAC work is performed by licensed professionals and guaranteed to meet or exceed code. For roofing, electrical, or HVAC remodeling quotes, contact Tell Projects at (832) 591-7991.
Multifamily Renovation & Property Management Integration
Tell Projects' core strength is multifamily renovation—managing large-scale projects for apartment complexes, townhome communities, and mixed-use properties across the 23-city Houston metro. We've completed unit renovations for 7,500+ residential units, coordinating occupied and vacant turnovers, minimizing tenant disruption, and meeting aggressive timelines. Our multifamily expertise includes: unit interior remodels (flooring, paint, appliances, fixtures), common area upgrades (lobbies, fitness centers, rooftop amenities), exterior work (siding, windows, doors), and systems upgrades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC). We work closely with property managers and ownership to schedule work around lease cycles, arrange temporary relocation when needed, and maintain 24/7 emergency contact for urgent repairs. Our project managers track 50+ concurrent units, ensuring consistency and quality across the entire community. For a 200-unit complex, we typically complete full interior renovations in 6–9 months at $8,000–$15,000 per unit, depending on scope. We understand the financial pressures of multifamily ownership—our goal is to maximize property value, reduce vacancy, and improve resident satisfaction. References available from major Houston-area developers and property management firms. Tell Projects is licensed, bonded, and insured for commercial and residential work. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss your multifamily remodeling strategy.
Why Tell Projects Stands Out in the Houston Remodeling Market
Choosing the right remodeling contractor matters—mistakes are expensive and disruptive. Tell Projects differentiates itself through four core strengths: integrated trades (in-house licensed electricians and plumbers reduce delays and miscommunication); multifamily depth (our experience managing 7,500+ units means we excel at complex coordination and timeline management); 23-city metro coverage (we maintain crews and relationships across Greater Houston, ensuring local expertise whether you're in Cy-Fair, League City, or Conroe); and transparent communication. We provide upfront quotes with itemized breakdowns, weekly progress photos, and a dedicated project manager for every job. Unlike many Houston contractors, we don't subcontract electrical and plumbing work—both are performed in-house by licensed professionals who are accountable to our quality standards. Our average project satisfaction score is 4.8/5 stars based on 120+ reviews, with clients praising responsiveness, attention to detail, and on-time completion. We also stand behind our work with a 2-year workmanship warranty on all interior renovations and labor. Houston's competitive remodeling market includes many options; we ask that you compare our integrated approach, multifamily credentials, and local presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in Houston?
Most Houston kitchen remodels take 8–12 weeks from design finalization to move-in, depending on scope and complexity. A straightforward cosmetic remodel (cabinets, counters, flooring, new appliances) averages 8 weeks. If you're relocating plumbing (island sink, new water line) or upgrading the electrical panel, add 2–4 weeks. Houston's humid climate also affects drywall finishing and paint curing times, so we factor in an extra few days for proper ventilation. Our project timeline includes permit approval (typically 2–3 weeks in Houston city limits), which we manage end-to-end. We provide a detailed schedule upfront and update you weekly. Delays due to supply chain issues are rare but communicated immediately. For an accurate timeline estimate specific to your kitchen, call (832) 591-7991.
What permits does a kitchen or bathroom remodel require in Houston?
Houston requires building permits for any remodel involving structural changes, electrical work, or plumbing. A kitchen remodel typically requires a building permit and trade permits for electrical and plumbing (if applicable). A bathroom remodel needs a building permit and plumbing permit if you're moving fixtures or adding ventilation. Tell Projects handles all permitting—we submit plans, pay fees, and coordinate city inspections. Permit costs for a typical kitchen average $400–$600; bathroom permits run $200–$400, depending on scope. Houston's Department of Housing and Community Development reviews plans within 2–3 weeks. As a Licensed General Contractor, we maintain current credentials and stay updated on code changes. Unpermitted work can impact resale and void insurance coverage, so we always do it right. Permit timelines are included in our project estimates, so you know exactly when work can begin.
How does Houston's humidity affect HVAC sizing during a remodel?
Houston's average humidity (75%+ in summer) demands oversized HVAC capacity compared to drier climates. When we remodel homes or multifamily units, we perform Manual J load calculations that account for Houston's heat and humidity. A properly sized system removes latent heat (moisture) in addition to sensible heat (temperature), preventing mold, dust mites, and indoor air quality issues. Undersized HVAC units run constantly, hiking energy bills and failing to dehumidify. We typically recommend 16–18 SEER units with variable-speed compressors that cycle efficiently in Houston's climate. For a 2,000-sq-ft home, expect a 3.5–4 ton system at $6,500–$9,000 installed. During multifamily renovations, we've seen tenant satisfaction scores jump 25% after HVAC upgrades—residents report fewer humidity complaints and lower summer cooling costs. Proper ductwork sizing and zoning (adding 2–4 zones) further optimize comfort and efficiency. Let us size your HVAC system correctly. Call (832) 591-7991 for a load-calculation consultation.
What's the typical cost per square foot for a kitchen remodel in Houston?
Houston kitchen remodels typically range $400–$750 per square foot, depending on material quality and scope. A 200-sq-ft kitchen at $400/sq-ft (modest remodel with stock cabinets and basic counters) costs $80,000. A 200-sq-ft kitchen at $600/sq-ft (semi-custom cabinetry, upgraded counters, stainless appliances) costs $120,000. Premium remodels with custom cabinetry, quartz or granite, high-end appliances, and custom lighting hit $750+/sq-ft. Tell Projects' typical client spends $85,000–$130,000 on a kitchen remodel, yielding 65–72% ROI at resale—higher than the national 60% average, reflecting Houston's strong real estate market. We provide a detailed cost breakdown upfront so there are no surprises. Financing options (home equity lines, personal loans) are available; discuss with your project manager. For a personalized estimate, call (832) 591-7991.
Can Tell Projects handle remodels in older Houston neighborhoods like Montrose and Heights?
Absolutely. Many homes in Montrose, Heights, and Midtown were built pre-1980 and have outdated electrical panels (60–100 amps), galvanized plumbing, and original HVAC systems. Tell Projects specializes in bringing these homes up to code while preserving character. We've upgraded 80+ electrical panels across these neighborhoods, relocated galvanized plumbing to PEX or copper, and installed modern HVAC systems without disturbing original hardwood floors or millwork. Older homes often have asbestos or lead paint (homes built before 1978); we coordinate environmental testing and safe abatement. Many also have foundation settling or structural quirks—our team inspects and reinforces as needed. Costs for older homes run 15–20% higher than new construction due to unexpected issues, so we budget contingency. References available from Montrose, Heights, and Washington Avenue projects. Tell Projects is comfortable with historic charm and modern systems. Call (832) 591-7991 for an initial assessment of your older home's remodeling potential.
How does Tell Projects ensure quality in multifamily remodeling projects?
Multifamily projects require ruthless process discipline to maintain quality at scale. Tell Projects uses standardized specs, pre-approved material lists, and dedicated trade crews (electrical, plumbing, carpentry) assigned to each property. Every unit is inspected against a 50-point checklist before move-in; common areas get formal final inspections with property management. We maintain 2-year workmanship warranties on all units and commit to < 2% rework rate (industry average is 5–8%). For a 200-unit renovation, we employ a full-time quality manager who photographs progress daily and flags deficiencies in real-time. We've achieved 94%+ tenant satisfaction scores on occupied-unit renovations by minimizing noise, respecting personal property, and maintaining cleanliness. Our Licensed General Contractor oversight ensures consistent code compliance across the entire community. References from Houston-area property managers and developers available upon request. Tell Projects takes multifamily quality seriously because your residents' satisfaction drives occupancy and renewals. Call (832) 591-7991 to discuss your multifamily project and quality expectations.
What should I expect during the remodeling process in terms of disruption?
Remodeling disruption varies by scope. For a kitchen-only remodel, expect 8–12 weeks of activity in one zone; we typically section off the kitchen so you can access other parts of your home. For full-home or large multifamily projects, disruption is more extensive. Tell Projects minimizes disruption through: phased scheduling (remodeling one area at a time), early morning/evening work (7 a.m.–4 p.m. on weekdays), and daily cleanup. Dust is inevitable; we use plastic barriers and HEPA vacuums to contain it. Noise peaks during demolition (week 1) and framing (weeks 2–3). We coordinate utility shutoffs in advance and maintain temporary water/power as needed. For occupied multifamily units, we request 24-hour notice, offer alternative amenities (fitness center, leasing office), and provide direct contact for emergency issues. Most residents adapt within 1–2 weeks once they see progress. Tell Projects's project managers prioritize communication—weekly updates, transparent timelines, and rapid response to concerns. If disruption is a major concern, discuss phasing and scheduling options upfront. Call (832) 591-7991 to plan your remodeling timeline and minimize impact.
