Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Jersey Village
Most general contractor work in Jersey Village starts with a question the homeowner didn’t know to ask: is the foundation still holding? The brick veneer homes that line Jersey Village streets, most built between the 1960s and 1980s, sit on expansive clay that shifts with every wet-dry cycle Houston throws at it. Before we open a wall or price a kitchen, we check what’s underneath. That’s why our General Contractor team runs a foundation assessment first, because in Jersey Village, the soil decides what the remodel will actually cost. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, a room addition, or a whole-home refresh, we give you a written price before work starts and a full year of coverage after it’s done. Call us at (940) 289-7658 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Bradford Remodeling Co Houston Is Jersey Village’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Jersey Village Home Remodeling starts with understanding the specific problems local homeowners face, and most of them trace back to two things: age and clay. The homes here aren’t new construction. They’re 40 to 60 years old, and they’ve lived through Harvey, drought years, and dozens of heavy rain seasons. We know what that does to framing, to drywall, to the ground under a slab. Curtis Lane, who leads our team, has walked enough Jersey Village job sites to know when a crack in the brick is cosmetic and when it means the foundation has moved.
Our reputation in Jersey Village is built on showing up when we say we will and putting every price in writing before work begins. Every project runs on The Garrison Standard: a documented scope, allowances written into the contract for what we might find behind the drywall, and a signed written guarantee in your hand when the job closes. We don’t ask you to trust us on a handshake. We hand you the paper.
Call (940) 289-7658 and a live person answers, day or night. That’s not a scripted line. It’s how we operate, because when a sewer line backs up or a Harvey-elevated foundation shifts, you need a real answer, not a callback queue.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Jersey Village
A licensed General Contractor in Jersey Village is the difference between a remodel that passes inspection and one that gets red-tagged midway through. In Jersey Village, where load-bearing walls hide behind 1970s paneling and non-permitted additions are more common than most buyers realize, the permit itself becomes a scope-of-work document. Open a wall and the city inspector may require wiring upgrades, framing corrections, or moisture barrier fixes before the drywall goes back up. A kitchen remodel here typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, but that number moves when the wall comes down and the real conditions show.
We handle it by inspecting first and writing allowances into the contract. Any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No change order happens on a verbal nod.
Code Compliance and Permit Work
Most Jersey Village remodels that open walls will trigger electrical, structural, or plumbing corrections. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and verify the sign-off before we close anything up. You’ll have the paperwork to prove it.
Foundation Assessment Before Wall Openings
Clay soil moves. Before we open a load-bearing wall, we assess the foundation for movement, grade the drainage, and document what we find. If the house needs leveling first, the remodel scope changes. We’d rather tell you before the tile goes in than after the first crack shows.
Residential General Contractor in Jersey Village
A residential General Contractor in Jersey Village takes on the work that a specialty sub can’t coordinate alone: whole-home remodels, room additions, and repairs that touch framing, electrical, plumbing, and finish work at once. Most Jersey Village homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, which means we’re regularly working around original pier-and-beam or slab foundations, outdated wiring, and framing that was never designed for modern kitchen loads. A whole-home remodel here can run $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage and what the inspection turns up.
We coordinate the subs, hold them to The Garrison Code for conduct and cleanup, and stand behind the completed work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside the first year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s the written guarantee, not a verbal comfort.
Roof and Exterior Envelope Repair
A roof replacement in Jersey Village runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on size and pitch. But before we quote the roof, we check the soffit, the fascia, and the drainage. Heat and humidity here eat through trim and flashing, and a new roof over rotten substrate is a warranty problem waiting to happen.
Room Additions and Garage Conversions
Jersey Village lots were platted decades ago, but plenty of homeowners still choose to add on rather than move. A home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000, and a garage conversion typically starts around $30,000. Both require foundation work on clay soil, and we spec that work before the first beam is ordered.
Trusted Brands We Service in Jersey Village
We install products with manufacturer specs and warranties we can put in writing, including Master Halco in Jersey Village. On Jersey Village remodels, homeowners regularly choose KraftMaid cabinetry for kitchens, James Hardie siding and trim for exterior work, and Therma-Tru doors for entry replacements. We don’t stock generic materials and hope they hold up. We order from documented brands whose warranties back our own 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a material fails inside the guarantee window, the manufacturer’s warranty and our return visit both apply. That’s what “squared away” looks like at job close: a clean site, a documented scope, and a signed written guarantee in your hand.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Jersey Village Homes
- Foundation movement on clay soil. Brick veneer homes from the 1960s to 1980s sit on expansive clay that swells in wet seasons and shrinks in dry ones. Cracked drywall, sticking doors, and sloping floors are the first signs, and a remodel that skips the foundation check will crack again within a year.
- Non-permitted additions and hidden wiring. We’ve opened walls in Jersey Village homes and found aluminum branch circuits hidden behind sunroom additions that were never permitted. The work looked fine from the outside. The wiring wasn’t safe, and the framing wasn’t load-rated.
- Post-Harvey moisture damage that was never fully corrected. Homes that flooded in 2017 often got drywall replaced but not the drainage fixed. Poor exterior grading pushes water back toward the slab, and the next heavy rain finds the same path. We correct the drainage before we close up the wall.
- Undersized framing under modern loads. A 1970s kitchen was never designed to hold granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a full-height cabinet run. We’ve had to double up load-bearing joists to stop the sag before the new finishes go in.

FAQs About General Contractor in Jersey Village
In a 1970s Jersey Village home, the most common hidden issues are aluminum wiring, undersized floor joists, and moisture damage behind the drywall. Aluminum branch circuits don’t meet current code for many modern kitchen loads, and sagging joists are common where heavy tile or stone was installed without structural upgrades. We write allowances into the contract for these conditions and price every correction in writing before we proceed, so the change order is an approved document, not a surprise. Call (940) 289-7658 to schedule an inspection of your home before you plan the remodel.
Yes. In Jersey Village, any work that touches structural framing, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems requires a permit, even if the footprint stays the same. A kitchen remodel that opens walls will almost always fall under permit review. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and provide the sign-off paperwork when the job closes. If you’re not sure whether your project triggers a permit, call (940) 289-7658 and we’ll tell you straight.
Yes, it does. An elevated foundation changes the floor height, the stair transitions, and sometimes the mechanical rough-ins. We work with the as-built conditions after the elevation and spec flood-resistant materials where the scope touches grade or exterior walls. The kitchen’s electrical and plumbing rough-in may need to be redone to match the new floor height, and we’ll note that in the written scope before work starts. Call (940) 289-7658 for a site visit and we’ll assess how your elevation affects the remodel.
Most whole-home remodels in Jersey Village run on a draw schedule tied to completed phases: initial deposit, foundation and framing, rough-in (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), drywall and finishes, and final inspection sign-off. We put the exact draw schedule in the written contract before work begins, so you know what’s due and when. No draw gets collected before the phase it covers is done. Call (940) 289-7658 for a sample contract and schedule breakdown.
On an older Jersey Village home, the punch list includes the usual items: paint touch-ups, trim alignment, caulk lines, door adjustments. But we also add a foundation movement check at the end of the job, because clay soil can throw off a door frame or a tile line within months. We’ll walk the whole project with you, write down every item, and correct them before we hand you the signed written guarantee. If something moves inside the 365-day window, we return and correct it at no charge. Call (940) 289-7658 to schedule your free estimate and walk-through.
