Texas Construction Pros

Construction & Remodeling Experts in Texas

Texas Construction Pros plans and builds kitchen and bathroom remodels, roofing, repairs, commercial projects and new homes for Texas homeowners and businesses. Work here is shaped by building codes that each city adopts and amends, hail and severe storms, hurricane exposure along the Gulf Coast and clay soils that shrink and swell. Each project starts by confirming the permit path, any windstorm or historic review and any association rules that apply to your address. Service areas in Texas are still being confirmed, so availability is checked before anything is scheduled.

Building in Texas

What shapes a project in Texas

Codes, climate and permit rules differ across Texas. These are the local factors we plan around before any work is scheduled.

  1. State baseline codes, adopted and amended by each city

    State law makes the International Residential Code the municipal code for building, remodeling and repairing homes, and the International Building Code the municipal code for commercial buildings. Each city may adopt local amendments by ordinance after a public hearing, so editions and rules differ from city to city. Houston, for example, has enforced 2021 editions with local amendments since January 1, 2024. Outside city limits, new single-family homes and duplexes in counties covered by state law must follow the IRC.

  2. Energy code and climate zones 2, 3 and 4

    The state energy standard for one- and two-family homes of three stories or fewer is Chapter 11 of the 2015 International Residential Code, in effect since September 1, 2016. Builders can also comply through an Energy Rating Index path with separate limits for climate zones 2, 3 and 4. Commercial buildings and residential buildings over three stories follow the 2015 IECC, in effect since November 1, 2016. Cities can adopt newer editions; Houston, for example, enforces the 2021 IECC, so the local code decides what a project must meet.

  3. Hurricanes and coastal windstorm rules

    The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with most activity between mid-August and mid-October. Fourteen coastal counties and the parts of Harris County east of State Highway 146 are in the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's designated catastrophe area. There, most new construction, roof replacements, major repairs and other alterations need a windstorm inspection and certificate of compliance, and most properties need that certificate to buy a TWIA policy. The TDI windstorm program lists the 2024 IRC and IBC with an effective date of April 1, 2026.

  4. Hail, severe storms and winter weather

    NOAA counted 190 weather and climate disasters with losses over one billion dollars each that affected Texas from 1980 to 2024. Severe storms, which include hail, made up 126 of them, and several were hailstorms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and San Antonio. The same record includes 11 winter storms and one freeze, so exterior work and roof choices should account for both hail and cold snaps.

  5. Clay soils and a mostly post-1980 housing stock

    Houston Black clay, found widely across the Blackland Prairies of east-central Texas, has high shrink-swell potential and opens cracks up to about 4 inches wide when dry. The 2020-2024 American Community Survey counted about 12.1 million housing units in Texas, with a median year built of 1992. About 64 percent were single-family detached homes and about 6 percent were mobile homes. About 33 percent were built before 1980 and about 39 percent in 2000 or later.

Licensing & permits

Verify any contractor in Texas

Official Texas resources for checking a contractor's registration or licence and understanding which permits your project may need. Use them for anyone you are considering, including us.

Contractor licensing

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) and Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE)

Texas licenses construction work by trade. TDLR licenses electricians and electrical contractors, and anyone who performs non-exempt electrical work must be licensed and work through a licensed electrical contractor. TDLR also licenses contractors who install, repair or maintain air conditioning, refrigeration and heating systems. Plumbers are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. The Texas Residential Construction Commission was abolished on September 1, 2009, and some cities have their own contractor registration; Dallas, for example, posts a homeowner's exemption form for it. You can check trade licenses with the TDLR license search and the TSBPE public license search, and ask the city about any local registration.

Building permits

Permits in Texas

Building permits in Texas are issued by cities, which enforce the International Residential Code and International Building Code with their own adopted editions and local amendments. Outside city limits, state law sets IRC standards for new single-family homes and duplexes in covered counties. In the coastal catastrophe area, many projects also need a Texas Department of Insurance windstorm inspection. Permit needs vary by jurisdiction and project, so they are confirmed for your address during planning.

Questions

Texas Project FAQs

Answers about building and remodeling in Texas. Still have a question? Contact us.
Who issues building permits in Texas?

Cities issue building permits. State law makes the International Residential Code and International Building Code the baseline for cities, and each city can adopt local amendments by ordinance after a public hearing. In unincorporated areas of counties covered by state law, new single-family homes and duplexes must follow the IRC. The permit office for your address is confirmed during planning.

How do I check a contractor's license in Texas?

Texas licenses trades. Use the TDLR license search for electricians, electrical contractors and air conditioning and refrigeration contractors, and the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners public license search for plumbers. For general remodeling or roofing, ask your city whether it requires contractor registration. The Texas Department of Insurance also advises getting written bids, checking references and never signing a contract with blank spaces.

When is a good time to schedule roofing or exterior work in Texas?

On the coast, the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and most activity falls between mid-August and mid-October. Severe storms, including hail, are the most frequent type of billion-dollar disaster in Texas in NOAA's records, with 126 of the 190 events counted from 1980 to 2024. Plan tear-offs so the roof can be closed up quickly, and build weather days into the schedule.

Can my HOA stop me from installing impact-resistant or energy-efficient shingles?

Texas law limits this. A property owners' association may not prohibit or restrict shingles designed to resist wind and hail, improve heating and cooling efficiency, or generate solar power, if they resemble the shingles the association already allows, are more durable and of equal or better quality, and match the look of the surrounding properties. Share your association's rules early so the product choice can be checked against them.

Do projects on the Texas coast need a windstorm inspection?

In the 14 coastal counties and the parts of Harris County east of State Highway 146, most new construction, roof replacements, major repairs and other alterations need a windstorm inspection and certificate of compliance, and most properties need that certificate to buy a TWIA policy. Roof repairs under 100 square feet that do not involve decking, non-structural items such as painting, carpet and cabinets, and plumbing and electrical repairs are exempt. A WPI-8 certificate is issued for work inspected during construction.

Can a roofing contractor pay or waive my insurance deductible?

No. The Texas Department of Insurance says it is illegal for contractors to waive your deductible or help you avoid paying it. TDI also warns that after a disaster, out-of-town contractors may not ask for a down payment before they start work.
