Remodeling in West University Place
Kitchens, baths and additions for West U homeowners, with the city’s own permit process handled for you.
Remodeling a home in West University Place
West University Place is its own city inside Houston, with its own building department and inspection schedule. Home values are among the highest in the region, so remodels here are judged against new construction on the same street.
Many original cottages and ranch homes have been replaced; owners who keep theirs usually want a primary suite, an open kitchen and better storage.
