Short answer: We remodel homes throughout Cypress, an unincorporated community in Harris County along U.S. 290 with about 200,000 residents. Because Cypress has no city government, there’s no city building permit; instead, Harris County requires permits for structures like patios and carports, floodplain lots need extra documents, and your HOA reviews exterior changes.
A young community with aging builder finishes
Cypress stayed mostly rural until the early 1990s, when master-planned communities began to spread along U.S. 290. U.S. 290 divides it into a wooded northeast side and a prairie-and-ranch southwest side.
Homes from the 1990s and 2000s are now replacing original kitchens, baths and flooring, and nearly every backyard is a candidate for shade.
What Cypress homeowners usually ask us to fix
- Patio covers and outdoor kitchens in open, sunny backyards
- Builder kitchens and baths from the 1990s–2000s
- Flooring upgrades throughout
- Fiber-cement siding and window replacements
Permits without a city
Harris County permits
In unincorporated Harris County, a permit is required to add a patio or carport, with a detailed cost and scope of work. Lots in a floodplain need an elevation certificate and site plan.
HOA approval
Most Cypress subdivisions require architectural approval for patio covers, additions, roofing and exterior colors.
MUD districts
Many neighborhoods are served by municipal utility districts. Utility connections for additions or outdoor kitchens go through them.

Questions from Cypress homeowners
Do I need a permit for a patio cover in Cypress?
In unincorporated Harris County, a permit is required to add a patio or carport, and your HOA usually needs to approve it first. We handle both.
Is Cypress part of Houston?
No. Cypress is unincorporated Harris County inside Houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, so City of Houston permits don’t apply.
How far is Cypress from your showroom?
Our Langfield Rd showroom is just off U.S. 290 inside Beltway 8, a straight drive out 290 to Cypress.
