The Bradford Remodeling Co Houston Guarantee
Every project we complete in Houston carries a written guarantee that says exactly one thing: if the work doesn’t hold up, we come back and fix it. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every remodel we finish for a full year from the day we hand you the keys. We put it in writing before we leave the job site, signed, with the scope documented so there’s no ambiguity about what got done and what we stand behind. Curtis Lane, Owner at Bradford Remodeling Co Houston, doesn’t sign off on a project unless that paper is in your hand. That’s how we’ve operated since joining the Garrison Partners family in 2004, and it’s not changing.
What’s Covered
- Workmanship for 365 days. If anything we installed or built fails within one year of completion, we schedule a return visit and correct it at no charge to you. No deductible, no fine print about “normal wear and tear” on a cabinet door that was hung wrong.
- Written pricing before a single tool comes off the truck. The number on your written estimate is the number you pay. If we find hidden damage behind a Houston wall that’s been soaking up humidity since the 1980s, we talk to you about it before any change happens. The price never moves at the door.
- Documented materials from brands with real specs. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors, and Belgard hardscaping. Every one of those comes with manufacturer documentation we can hand you, so the warranty on materials isn’t a mystery.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians on site. Before our crew walks through your door in Houston, you know who they are. Identity and conduct standards are set at the Garrison Partners level, not left to whoever shows up that morning.
- A clean site at close. “Squared away” means the job is done, the debris is gone, the floors are swept, and you’re not finding drywall dust in your bedroom three weeks later. We treat your home like it’s still your home, because it is.
- On-time arrival and honest communication. If we say we’re coming Tuesday at 8, we’re coming Tuesday at 8. If something changes, you hear it from a live person, not a text bot.

Our Satisfaction Promise
Here’s how it works if something isn’t right. You call us. A live person answers the phone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There’s no automated system standing between you and a real conversation about what’s wrong. We listen, we look at the documented scope from your project, and we schedule a return visit. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t conditional on your mood or our schedule. If the repair or remodel fails within the guarantee period, Bradford comes back and corrects it at no charge. That’s the whole promise. Not a pro-rated credit, not a “we’ll see what we can do.” A fix, done right, on our dime. Curtis Lane built this company on the idea that a Houston homeowner shouldn’t need a lawyer to get a crooked cabinet straightened. You call, we come, we make it right. That’s the point of having a guarantee in the first place.
Licensed & Insured Backing
A written guarantee is only as strong as the company behind it. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston is state-licensed and carries full insurance on every project. That matters in Texas, where general contractors aren’t all playing by the same rulebook. Our licensing means the work gets inspected, the permits get pulled, and the job meets code. Our insurance means if something goes wrong on a job site, you’re not the one holding the bag. We never ask a homeowner to sign a waiver so we can skip a permit, and we don’t work uninsured, ever. That’s part of The Garrison Standard we agreed to when we joined the family in 2004, and it’s the same standard every Bradford location is held to. Paperwork isn’t exciting, but it’s the difference between a contractor who stands behind a job and one who disappears when the first cabinet door sticks in a Houston summer.
What The Garrison Standard Means for Your Remodel
Bradford Remodeling Co Houston is part of the Garrison Partners family, established in 2004. Every location is independently owned and operated, and every one is held to The Garrison Standard and The Garrison Code. Those aren’t marketing slogans. They’re the operating frameworks that govern how a Bradford project runs from first estimate to final walkthrough. The Garrison Code covers things like how technicians present themselves at your door, how pricing gets communicated before work starts, and how a completed job gets closed out with a documented scope and a signed written guarantee. What that means for a Houston homeowner is consistency. The crew on your kitchen remodel follows the same standards as a Bradford crew working in another city. You’re not gambling on whether the guy who shows up had a good week. You’re hiring a system, and the system has teeth because it’s tied to a real guarantee in writing.
Houston-Specific Things We Watch For
Houston’s climate does things to a house that a contractor from Dallas or Austin won’t always anticipate. We deal with it every day. Humidity here runs high enough to warp a door frame in a single season if the gap tolerances are wrong. Clay soil expands and contracts with rainfall, which means a slab can shift and a new tile floor will crack if the substrate isn’t prepped right. A substrate is just the surface underneath your finish material: the plywood under your tile, the sheathing behind your siding. Get that layer wrong and the pretty stuff on top fails, guaranteed. We also watch for soffit and fascia rot, which Houston’s humidity accelerates when attic ventilation is poor. A soffit is the underside of your roof overhang; the fascia is the vertical board the gutters hang on. Both take a beating here. When we remodel a kitchen in The Heights or a whole home in Sugar Land or Katy, we’re factoring in Houston reality, not a generic installation manual. That’s the difference between a remodel that looks good for three months and one that still looks good when the next hurricane season rolls around.

AfterHow Much Does Remodeling Cost in Houston?
Kitchen remodeling in Houston typically runs $35,000 to $85,000 for a full gut and rebuild, depending on square footage, cabinet grade, and whether you’re moving plumbing. A mid-range kitchen with KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria counters, and Kohler fixtures usually lands between $45,000 and $65,000. Whole-home remodels in Houston start around $100,000 and can exceed $250,000 for large homes in neighborhoods like West University or Memorial with structural changes. Smaller projects like a bathroom refresh or a single room remodel generally run $15,000 to $40,000. Every quote we write is itemized with a fixed price before any work starts. No allowances that balloon, no change orders that appear out of nowhere. Call (940) 289-7658 for a written estimate on your specific project and we’ll give you a real number.
| Project Type | Typical Houston Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel (mid-range, full gut) | $45,000 – $65,000 |
| Kitchen remodel (high-end, custom cabinets) | $70,000 – $120,000+ |
| Whole-home remodel | $100,000 – $250,000+ |
| Single room / bathroom refresh | $15,000 – $40,000 |
What Happens If the Price Changes Once Work Starts?
It doesn’t, unless you ask for something different. The written price we give you before work begins is the price. If we open a wall in a 1960s ranch house in Bellaire and find wiring that’s not up to code, we stop and talk to you. We explain what we found, what it costs to fix, and you decide before we proceed. No surprise invoices, no “we had to, so now you owe us.” That’s not how Bradford Remodeling Co Houston operates, and it never has been since the day we joined Garrison Partners. If a contractor in Houston won’t put a price in writing before starting, that’s your first red flag. We put it in writing every single time, and that written price is part of your project file, along with the documented scope and the signed guarantee at close.
Do You Pull the Permits?
Yes. For any remodel in Houston that requires city permits, Bradford handles the permit application, the inspections, and any corrections the inspector flags. We don’t ask you to pull a homeowner permit so we can dodge a code requirement. That’s not how a licensed contractor works, and it’s certainly not how The Garrison Standard allows a Bradford location to operate. Houston’s permitting process has specific requirements depending on whether you’re in the city proper or unincorporated Harris County, and we know the difference. When the inspector signs off, you get documentation of that. It’s part of your project record, right next to your written guarantee.
Why a Written Guarantee Matters More in Houston Than Almost Anywhere Else
Houston’s construction market is sprawling. There are excellent contractors here and there are people working out of a pickup truck with a magnetic sign they bought online. The difference isn’t always visible on day one. It shows up six months later when a cabinet door starts sagging because it was hung on drywall without proper anchors, or when a tile floor cracks because nobody checked the slab for movement. A written guarantee is the only thing that separates a promise from marketing. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise puts it on paper: if the work fails within a year, we fix it free. That’s the commitment Curtis Lane and the entire Bradford team in Houston stand behind. We’ve been doing it since 2004, and we’re not going to stop putting it in writing now.

It covers every completed project for one full year from completion. If any work fails within that window, Bradford returns and corrects it at no charge. That includes workmanship issues like loose cabinetry, cracked grout, door frames out of square, or finish failures. It’s a written guarantee signed at job close, with the scope documented so there’s no debate about what’s covered.
Yes. Bradford is state-licensed and carries full insurance on every project. We don’t work uninsured, and we don’t ask homeowners to waive permit requirements. That licensing means inspections happen, code gets followed, and you have recourse if something goes wrong. Call (940) 289-7658 if you want to discuss specifics for your project.
A full kitchen remodel in Houston typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on cabinet lead times and whether structural changes are involved.
