Areas We Serve
Memorial is not one jurisdiction. Depending on the street, your permit runs through the City of Houston or through one of the small villages that keep their own city halls — and they do not work the same way.
Memorial has the thing the inner loop does not: room. Deep lots, mature pines and oaks, and houses built between the 1950s and the '70s on a scale that still works, now a generation past their last real update. The projects here run larger in every sense — whole-home renovations, significant additions, and outdoor living built to actually get used.
The complication is rarely the construction. It is knowing whose rules you are building under.
“Memorial” covers a stretch of west Houston that contains a number of independent cities — Piney Point, Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, Hedwig, Spring Valley among them — sitting alongside neighborhoods that are straightforwardly City of Houston. Each village runs its own permitting, and their submittal requirements, review times, and inspections differ from Houston's and from one another's.
Two houses a mile apart can be two entirely different processes on two different calendars. The first thing we confirm on a Memorial project is which one you are in.
The lots are the reason people buy in Memorial, and they carry requirements of their own. Several of the villages protect mature trees, which affects where an addition can go and how a crew is allowed to work around a root zone. Drainage gets real scrutiny once a footprint grows.
These are planning problems, not construction problems. Settled before design, they cost nothing. Discovered during review, they redraw the plan and move the schedule — which is how a Memorial project loses a season.
What We Do Here
Additions on deep lots, sited around protected trees and drainage before the design is committed.
Bringing 1960s and '70s Memorial houses forward without losing the scale that made them work.
Kitchens rebuilt for how these houses actually get used — open to the living space and the yard.
Primary suites at the size these floor plans allow, waterproofed for the Gulf Coast climate.
Outdoor kitchens, covered living, siding and windows — the side of a Memorial house that faces the lot.
Recent projects across Memorial, the Heights, Bellaire, and the rest of west Houston.

How It Works
01
We confirm which city your property sits in and what it requires — trees, drainage, setbacks — before drawings, so the plan we price is the plan that gets built.
02
A written scope, a line-item estimate, and a realistic schedule. Matt is on site rather than behind a desk, with the same small group of vetted subs on every job.
03
Through your city's inspections and into a final walkthrough — punch list closed out before we call it finished.
