Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company
A construction company is the entity that carries the license, pulls the permits, hires the subs, and answers for the finished product. When you need a construction company in Houston, you’re not hiring a guy with a truck – you’re hiring a system. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston operates as an independently owned and operated member of the Garrison Partners family, held to The Garrison Standard on every job. A typical kitchen remodel in Houston runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a home addition runs $45,000 – $130,000. What that money buys with us: a written scope, a signed price, and a one-year written guarantee on the completed work.
Permit-Ready Workflow
Houston’s permit requirements vary by scope, and pulling the wrong permit – or skipping one – can cost you at final inspection. We document the scope before any work starts, pull the permits the job requires, and schedule inspections so the closeout is clean.
Trade Coordination
A construction company’s real job is sequencing: drywall doesn’t hang before rough-in, and cabinets don’t set before the floor is level. We schedule the trades in the right order, which is why our job sites in Houston don’t stall for weeks waiting on the next guy.
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor handles renovation work inside an existing structure: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and interior reconfigurations. When you need a remodeling contractor in Houston, what you’re really buying is a disciplined sequence of demo, rough-in, and finish work that doesn’t drag on for six months. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston gives you a written price before any work starts. Small bathroom remodels in Houston run $5,000 – $12,000. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000. Those are the real ranges we work within, documented line by line.
Change-Order Discipline
The place where remodelers burn homeowners is change orders: “we found rot, that’s $4,000 more.” We surface conditions during the written estimate, not after demo. If a true unknown appears, we stop, show you the substrate, and put the revised number in writing before proceeding.
Finishes That Hold Up
Houston humidity punishes cheap materials. We specify documented brands like James Hardie siding and KraftMaid cabinetry because their manufacturer specs back what we install. The spec is in writing before the first tool comes out.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed general contractor is legally authorized to pull permits, hire and supervise trades, and carry the liability for the finished structure. When you need a licensed general contractor in Houston, you need someone who can be held accountable – not a cash bid from an unlicensed operator who can walk away. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston is state-licensed and operates under The Garrison Code, which sets conduct and identity standards for every technician who walks through your door. A concrete driveway installation in Houston runs $4,500 – $12,000. A roof replacement runs $8,000 – $20,000. We put the number in writing before we start.
Verifiable Credentials
Licensing matters because it’s the only mechanism that gives you recourse if work goes wrong. We’re state-licensed, insured and bonded, and every technician on our Houston job sites is background-checked and uniformed. You know who is in your home before they arrive.
Liability Where It Belongs
When a licensed general contractor runs the job, the liability for code compliance, worker injury, and substandard work sits with the contractor – not with you. That’s the point of the license. That’s the point of hiring Bradford.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor focuses on homes – single-family houses, townhomes, and duplexes – not commercial build-outs. When you need a residential general contractor in Houston, you’re making a decision about who manages your home’s structure, systems, and finishes. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston works exclusively in residential spaces. A paver patio installation in Houston runs $3,500 – $11,000. A garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. Every line is documented in the written estimate you receive before work starts.
Home-Specific Sequencing
Residential work means working around your family’s schedule, your HOA’s rules, and your home’s existing conditions. We plan for that. Jobs in neighborhoods like West University Place and Cinco Ranch get the same written scope and the same guarantee as anywhere else in Houston.
HOA and Setback Awareness
Many Houston-area subdivisions have architectural review committees. We document the scope against what your HOA requires so you don’t get a cease-and-desist mid-project. Fence height, exterior materials, rooflines – it’s all checked before the permit is pulled.
Hire a General Contractor
When you hire a general contractor, you hand over responsibility for schedule, budget, permits, and trade quality. The decision comes down to trust – and trust should be in writing. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston has been operating under The Garrison Standard since 2004. When you hire us as your general contractor in Houston, you get a written price before work starts, a documented scope, background-checked technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within one year, we come back and correct it at no charge. A bathroom remodel in Houston runs $9,000 – $28,000. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000.
What the Written Price Covers
Every estimate we produce in Houston lists scope, materials, labor, and the guarantee term. No “allowances” that mysteriously balloon. No verbal promises that evaporate. The number you sign is the number you pay unless you change the scope yourself.
Who Is On Your Job Site
Background-checked, uniformed technicians. The same crew from demo to closeout. You’ll know who is walking through your door before the crew arrives, and they answer to Curtis Lane, not to a rotating cast of subcontractors.
General Contractor Services
General contractor services cover the full range of residential construction work: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, exteriors, flooring, and structural repair. When you need general contractor services in Houston, you need one company that can manage all of it without farming responsibility to someone else. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston handles the scope end to end. A small kitchen remodel in Houston runs $9,000 – $20,000. A window replacement runs $4,500 – $15,000. An impact window installation runs $8,000 – $25,000. We document every line item in the written estimate you get before work begins.
Kitchen Remodeling
From cabinet installation ($4,000 – $13,000) to countertop installation ($2,000 – $6,500) to a full kitchen remodel ($14,000 – $45,000), we specify documented brands like KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria surfaces. The spec is written, not spoken. See our home page for the full range of what we do.
Whole-Home Remodeling
When the scope touches multiple rooms, the discipline matters more, not less. We sequence demo, rough-in, and finish work across the whole home, and we keep the written guarantee attached to every phase. For homeowners in Jersey Village, we run the same Standard. See General Contractor in Jersey Village for specifics in that area.

Brands We Service
We install and service James Hardie exterior products throughout Houston, including fiber cement siding and backer board. Houston’s heat and humidity don’t warp it the way wood does, and the manufacturer’s spec gives us a documented standard to install against. If a Hardie product fails within the guarantee window, we’re back – and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the labor.
We also install KraftMaid cabinetry in kitchens, baths, and utility spaces. KraftMaid publishes its construction specs – box material, hardware, finish – which means the cabinet you’re quoted is the cabinet you get. The same standard applies to every job we run in Sugar Land, which you can read about at General Contractor in Sugar Land. Whether you have an existing brand you want matched or you’re selecting from the documented roster, we can help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water is showing through the ceiling or around window frames. That means the envelope is compromised and the repair is no longer cosmetic. The longer it sits, the more substrate damage you’re paying to remediate later.
- Doors and windows are sticking or won’t close square. In Houston, clay soil shifts with moisture. Sticking doors are often the first sign of foundation movement, and a general contractor should assess it before you remodel around the symptom.
- You’ve got a previous contractor’s unfinished work on site. Exposed rough-in, unpermitted modifications, or a job abandoned mid-phase. This is a liability as much as an eyesore. A licensed GC can document what’s wrong and fix it to code.
- You’re planning a kitchen or bath remodel and the scope touches load-bearing walls. Cutting a bearing wall without proper support is dangerous. This is not a handyman job. You need an engineer’s stamp and a contractor who pulls the permit.
- Your insurance or lender requires a licensed contractor. Many Houston lenders won’t close a renovation loan or a home equity line without a licensed GC on the contract. The requirement is there to protect their interest and yours.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written scope walkthrough. We walk the site with you, measure, and document everything in writing. No verbal ballparks. The scope is the contract’s foundation, and it’s written before any pricing is set.
- 2
Written line-item estimate. You get a document that lists materials, labor, and the guarantee term. The number you see is the number you sign. No door-day repricing, no allowances that drift.
- 3
Permit and schedule lock. We pull the permits, sequence the trades, and set the schedule. You’ll know who is on site and when. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed.
- 4
Execution with daily accountability. The crew works to the documented scope. If an unknown condition appears, we stop and show you the evidence. The revised number is put in writing before the hammer moves.
- 5
Closeout and the written guarantee. Clean site, documented scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise signed in your hand. If the work fails inside that window, we return and correct it at no charge.
