Top 5 General Contractors in Houston

With 30 years of experience in the construction field, Unique Builders and Development Inc focuses on working on clients’ bathroom and kitchen remodeling projects. 

We love how when the company starts remodeling, they’ll start doing the design plan, manual pre-construction work, and material procurement at the same time. Their practice of careful multitasking is useful in speeding up the remodeling process.

The company’s project manager is also present throughout the project, supervising the foremen in their work and updating their clients from time to time. We think it’s a bonus for clients who are working and can’t physically observe this firm’s work.

In terms of this firm’s finished projects, their remodeled bathrooms show an artful use of mosaic tiles and wood plank flooring. We’re in awe of how they’re able to beautify small Jack-and-Jill bathrooms and make them look elegant.

The kitchen remodels, on the other hand, look welcoming but have an air of luxury. In our opinion, the marble countertops and wooden cabinets stand out, their beauty complemented by the light fixture choices.

However, the company’s rates are more expensive than others given the type of construction materials they use. Also, their staff sometimes reply late to calls regarding their services and quote estimates.

Despite that, it’s great that the project managers of Unique Builders and Development Inc are hands-on when helping clients pick designs. They’ll continuously listen to the needs of the clients, blending their desired aesthetic into the room they’re remodeling.

Since 2000, HM General Contractors has been helping Houston residents with their medical facility construction needs. 

When building or remodeling medical establishments like hospitals or veterinary clinics, the company’s team uses easy-to-clean materials for floors and walls, which is necessary for these places as it needs constant disinfection.

For us, the company’s finished structures look pristine and sterile. The waiting areas have enough natural lighting from big windows, making the medical facilities look lively and inviting.

Also, this firm’s facilities have enough space for efficient movement inside the hospitals. Their hallways don’t feel suffocating and it’s perfect when the doctors and nurses need to move equipment from one room to the other.

Although, due to its focus on building clinics, they don’t have a lot of offerings for residential construction projects. The architectural styles they use also lack variety, which we think is justified as they mainly work on building clinics.

Still, we’re impressed with how HM General Contractors quickly finish their construction projects. 

Some clients who contracted them for remodeling are surprised that their work is completed on time even if their project started during lockdowns. Their team also replies quickly to their clients when asked about updates on their work.

What makes LBJ Construction LP, a building company founded in 1995, stand out is its general remodeling services.

The company’s work process starts with planning. It’s great that project managers would meet with the client to discuss the remodeling work and its design, considering the budget of the family for the renovations.

After the plans are smoothed out, their foreman applies coverings on the furniture that can’t be removed during the project. We think it’s also convenient that the company’s permit runners secures necessary building permits when necessary.

Those planning to build or remodel buildings or houses must remember that certain construction projects need a building permit from the Houston Permitting Center. Before proceeding with your plans, make sure someone’s working on getting those permits.

On the other hand, we’re also amazed at how versatile their construction team is in working with clients. From major remodeling projects to installing sofa swings, the company doesn’t turn down jobs from clients as long as it’s within their wheelhouse. 

However, the company doesn’t have many offerings when it comes to remodeling commercial establishments. It’s also unfortunate that they have shorter office hours compared to others. 

Regardless, LBJ Construction LP offers handyman services to their existing clients. We think this is a perfect additional service because previous customers would be assured that the repairmen are familiar with working on your property.

What we find interesting about Averon Construction LLC is its home office construction  projects.

It’s wonderful how this firm focuses on comfort and ergonomics when designing the home office. Aside from the look, they’ll also ensure that the workplace has an easy layout with minimal clutter from cables and unnecessary furniture.

The designers also fit elements of comfort with the aesthetic choices of the client. The positioning of workstations is always near the windows for a little bit of sunshine and views that’ll ease the stress of the people using the office.

When it comes to its aesthetics, the creations of Averon Construction LLC are diverse. Their interior designers can pull off an exquisite vintage office look while also serving minimalist layouts for some customers.

In our opinion, this company’s services are fit for professionals who want to create a comfortable working space in their abodes. It’s also perfect for those on work-from-home schedules or small business owners.

However, the company has fewer offerings than others, which means that some clients may not find the service they’re looking for in this business. They’re also more focused on designs so they may not be the right fit if you only need construction work.

Still, we like how responsive the project managers and staff of Averon Construction LLC are.  There’s always someone available to answer their hotlines regarding queries and construction updates.

The main selling point of Tell Projects Home Remodeling is its room addition works.

We’re impressed with how the company minimizes damage when constructing new rooms in a house. Usually, contractors may tear down walls when expanding rooms but this company will only do it if requested or needed for the project.

The company can also build accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for houses. These ADUs are attached to the house itself and can be transformed into additional bedrooms or entertainment areas like home theaters, gaming rooms, man caves, and others.

It’s also magnificent how Tell Projects Home Remodeling’s room expansions match the style of the original house. The construction work effectively blends in, making it look like the added space has been a part of the house ever since it was built.

However, the project manager of the company’s construction projects replies slowly when asked about their quotes. They’re also slow in procuring fixtures and materials, delaying some projects.

Still, we like the added benefits Tell Projects Home Remodeling provides to its clients.

When inquiring about your home renovation project, the company will let you consult their interior designer on how to style their home once it’s finished.

It’s also wonderful that the company offers 10% discounts for military veterans and 5% less deals for senior citizens. For us, these discounts are already a steal considering the price of construction work.
