Home remodeling in Greatwood typically runs $9,000 – $45,000 for kitchens and baths, $45,000 – $130,000 for a full home addition, and brings a specific set of code and foundation questions you won’t find in newer subdivisions. We’re Bradford Remodeling Co Houston, and we’ve worked inside enough 1980s – 2000s brick homes along the Greatwood Golf Club fairways and Oyster Creek lots to know what’s behind those walls before we open them.

Why Bradford Remodeling Co Houston Is Greatwood’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Homeowners here aren’t chasing the cheapest bid. They’re done with no-shows, door re-pricing, and crews that leave a mess. This community sits on Gulf Coast clay, and remodels fail fast when a contractor ignores what that soil does to framing, drywall, and tile. We approach every Greatwood job through The Garrison Standard: a written price before work starts, a documented scope, and a signed 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand at close.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s walking up to your door near the Greatwood Golf Club before they knock. Curtis Lane runs the operation, and his standard is simple: if the work fails within a year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That guarantee is written, not implied.
We coordinate schedules through our Houston office, but the crews serving Greatwood work locally and regularly. When you call, a live person answers. That’s been our practice since joining the Garrison Partners family in 2004.
What Greatwood homeowners tell us they value most is the inspection-first approach. On a 1990s brick home along the Greatwood Golf Club fairway, our crew opened a kitchen wall for a full remodel and found corroded aluminum wiring and undersized 2×4 headers over a load-bearing opening. We stopped work, had a structural engineer spec a steel beam, rewired the affected circuits to current code, and documented every change order before closing the wall. The final inspection sign-off covered both framing and electrical rough-in. That’s what “by the book” looks like.
Styles & brands we work with
Luxury Home Remodeling in Greatwood
Luxury Home Remodeling in Greatwood means working on upscale brick homes built from the 1980s through the early 2000s, many with fairway views, large lots along Oyster Creek, and layouts that were never designed for modern living. This work typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on scope, and it demands an approach that accounts for the gumbo clay under the slab before any finish material goes in.
What the job involves here
We coordinate structural work first. The ‘Greatwood bounce’ is real, and luxury finishes over an unaddressed foundation movement will crack within a season. We sequence inspections and underpinning before cabinetry, stone, or tile work begins.
What a luxury remodel costs in Greatwood
Expect to pay $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, fixture grade, and how much structural correction the home needs. A full kitchen inside that range typically runs $14,000 – $45,000. A primary bath: $9,000 – $28,000. We write every line item into the contract, so you see the number before we start, not after.
Full Home Remodel in Greatwood
A Full Home Remodel in Greatwood means opening multiple rooms of a 1980s – 2000s brick veneer home at once, often including a kitchen, baths, flooring, windows, and load-bearing wall changes. This work lands between $45,000 and $130,000 for most whole-home scopes. The single biggest variable is what’s inside the walls, and Greatwood’s housing stock has a pattern: aluminum wiring, undersized headers, and framing that settled with the clay.
Sequencing the work
We open the walls, inspect, and price any code-triggered upgrade before finish work starts. That means electrical panel and circuit work when required, proper headers where load-bearing walls move, and any structural correction tied to foundation movement. The sequence is inspection first, then written change order, then rough-in inspection, then close-up.
How we price the unknown
We write realistic allowances into every Greatwood full-home contract. If we find rotted subfloor or outdated wiring, the allowance covers it and the change order documents the exact number before we proceed. No number moves at the door. That’s the Bradford rule, and it’s part of The Garrison Code.
Trusted Brands We Service in Greatwood
We install and service a documented roster of name-brand products, and that matters when you’re investing in a Greatwood home. Our materials list includes KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors, and Belgard hardscaping. We also work with window brands including CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass for replacement projects. Because we stock common parts and components for these lines locally, turnaround on Greatwood jobs stays tight. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your home, and every product carries the manufacturer’s own warranty on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Greatwood Homes
- The ‘Greatwood bounce’ cracking new tile and drywall. Gumbo clay under the slab expands and contracts seasonally. When a remodel ignores that movement, finish work fails within a year.
- The no-permit wall removal. Some contractors pull load-bearing walls without permits. That means no third-party inspection and hidden structural defects. We pull permits and get sign-off.
- Allowance shock. Lowball bids write unrealistic allowances for old-house surprises. When the rotted subfloor shows up, the price balloons. We price surprises upfront and document every change order.
- Outdated wiring and undersized headers. 1980s – 2000s homes here often built with aluminum branch wiring and 2×4 headers over load-bearing openings. Both trigger code upgrades once walls open. We plan for it.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Greatwood
We sequence a foundation inspection before any finish work begins. Greatwood’s gumbo clay expands and contracts seasonally, and if your slab or piers need correction, we coordinate that work first. Finish materials go in only after the structure is stable. Call (940) 289-7658 and we’ll walk you through the sequence.
Typically smoke and CO detector placement, electrical circuit or panel upgrades where aluminum wiring or ungrounded circuits are present, proper headers over load-bearing openings, and insulation requirements at the exterior envelope. We identify these before drywall closes so there are no surprises at final inspection. Call (940) 289-7658 to discuss your specific scope.
We write allowances into the contract for known old-house failure modes: subfloor rot, aluminum wiring, undersized framing, and any foundation correction. When we find something, the allowance covers it and we document a written change order with the exact number before we proceed. You approve in writing first. Call (940) 289-7658 for a line-item walkthrough.
Yes. Any load-bearing wall change in a Greatwood home requires a permit and third-party inspection. Work done without one hides structural defects and can complicate resale. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and stand behind the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (940) 289-7658 to confirm your wall is load-bearing.
We pair any remodel with a foundation and drainage assessment. When we open walls or re-level floors, we check for the seasonal movement pattern the ‘Greatwood bounce’ creates and correct drainage or structural issues before finish work. If anything fails within a year, our written guarantee brings us back at no charge. Call (940) 289-7658 and we’ll inspect what’s actually happening under your home.
