What Houston Homeowners Should Know

Texas requires general contractors to hold a residential contractor registration. Houston's Gulf Coast location creates a unique construction market — post-storm renovation, flood remediation, and energy-efficient construction are all significant categories. Harris County's permitting process requires experienced contractors who understand local flood plain regulations, which affect a significant percentage of Houston properties. Houston's diverse architectural styles — from historic bungalows in the Heights to contemporary construction in Memorial — require general contractors with broad capabilities across building types and eras.
