Remodeling in Sugar Land

Short answer: We remodel homes in Sugar Land, an independent city in Fort Bend County incorporated in 1959, so permits come from the City of Sugar Land. Most homes are in master-planned communities like First Colony, begun in 1977 on about 10,000 acres, where an HOA reviews exterior changes such as patio covers and additions before the city permit.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Sugar Creek, the city’s first planned community from the late 1960s, has golf-course homes now ready for full updates. First Colony’s 1980s and ’90s homes are the biggest group due for kitchens, baths and flooring. Telfair, built on former state prison farm land and annexed in 2004, and Riverstone are newer, so owners there add outdoor living and personalize builder finishes.
A few company-town houses from the Imperial Sugar era still stand in The Hill and Mayfield Park.
What Sugar Land homeowners usually ask us to fix
- Builder-grade kitchens and baths in 1980s–2000s homes
- Patio covers and outdoor kitchens with HOA approval
- Carpet-to-LVP and tile flooring conversions
- Tub-to-shower conversions for aging in place
