Short answer: We remodel homes across Spring, an unincorporated community in Harris County within Houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. Without a city government, there’s no city building permit; Harris County requires permits for structures like patios and carports, and subdivision HOAs or deed restrictions govern exterior changes.
From railroad town to suburb
German immigrants settled Spring in the 1840s, and railroads made it a switchyard town in the late 1800s. Suburban subdivisions spread from Houston starting in the 1970s, and Old Town Spring became a shopping destination in the late 1980s.
Homes from the 1970s through 2000s here often have original kitchens, small baths and dated exteriors.
What Spring homeowners usually ask us to fix
- Whole-home updates for 1970s–80s houses
- Kitchens and baths in 1990s–2000s homes
- Patio covers and screened porches
- Siding, window and flooring replacements
