Home Remodeling & Construction in West University Place, TX

Careful remodeling for West U's small lots and tall houses, from a crew based a short drive away.

West University Place is a small city with expensive real estate and very little room to work in. Lots are narrow, houses are close to the property line, and a two-story home often fills most of the ground it sits on. That changes how a remodel has to be run here: material deliveries, dumpsters, parking and dust control all need planning, and neighbors are close enough that a sloppy site becomes everybody's problem.

The work itself splits between two housing types. The original 1920s-40s bungalows that are still standing want sympathetic updating — kitchens and baths brought up to date without gutting the character out of the house. The two-story replacements built from the 1990s onward want finish-level upgrades: reworked kitchens, updated primary bathrooms, hardwood replacement, built-ins and better use of the upstairs.

Local detail

What is different about working in West University Place

Permitting, housing age and site access change from town to town. Knowing that before we quote is what keeps a schedule honest.
  • West U permits its own work

    Like Bellaire, West University Place is its own municipality with its own permitting, inspections and property-line rules. Anything structural or exterior gets built to what West U approves.

  • Tight sites need a tidy crew

    On lots this narrow there is nowhere to spread out. We keep materials contained, protect the path through the house, and clean up daily — for your sake and your neighbors'.
