Placeholder answers. Octavio confirms them before launch.Before You Start
Do you take smaller jobs?
Yes. A single bathroom, a kitchen refresh or a few repairs done right are all welcome. Tell us what you have in mind and Octavio will tell you honestly what it takes.
What does the free walk-through cover?
Octavio comes to your house or lot, listens to what you want, looks at what's behind the walls where he can, and tells you what it will really take. Then you get a fixed price in writing, line by line.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on where you live and what we change. Inside Conroe city limits, work that touches walls, plumbing or wiring needs a city permit. In The Woodlands, exterior changes need Township design review. Most of Spring is unincorporated, so your HOA and the county floodplain rules matter more. We check your address before we price the job, and we pull the permits ourselves.
During the Work
How long does a remodel take?
A guest bathroom runs about 3 to 5 weeks, a primary bathroom 5 to 8 weeks, and a kitchen 8 to 12 weeks. A whole-home remodel takes 4 to 8 months and a new custom home 9 to 14 months. You get a written schedule before we start.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
For a kitchen or one bathroom, yes, most families stay. We seal off the work area and clean up every day. For a whole-home remodel, most people move out for part of it, and we plan that with you up front.
Who will be at my house?
Octavio runs every job himself, with his own crew and trades he has worked with for years. You get photos and a progress note every Friday.
What if you find a problem behind the wall?
We stop, show you what we found, and give you the price in writing before we fix it. Nothing gets added to your bill without your signature.
Money and Warranty
How do payments work?
A deposit when you sign, then payments as each stage is finished and you've seen it. You never pay ahead of the work.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. You get a fixed price in writing before we start. It only changes if you ask for a change, and every change is priced and signed before we do it.
What warranty do I get?
Every job comes with a written warranty. New homes carry a structural warranty backed by a third-party warranty company, not just our word. We come back at 60 days and again at 11 months to fix anything that settled.
New Homes
Do you build on my lot?
Yes. We look at the lot first: flood map, soil, septic and well, trees and access. Then we design the house to fit it and price the site work separately from the house, so you can see both.
Where do you work?
Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe and Montgomery, for remodels and new homes.
