We remodel homes in River Oaks, the 1,100 acre garden suburb the Hogg brothers and Hugh Potter began in 1924. Hare and Hare laid out its curving streets and esplanades, the utilities run underground, and deed restrictions have governed every lot since the twenties. The houses range from 1920s cottages near the shopping center to John Staub estates along Lazy Lane. Work here is held to the neighborhood's standard, and we build to it.
VCS Construction and Remodeling has served Houston since 2007 with master plumbers and electricians on the team. In River Oaks that mix matters, because the prettiest renovation fails if ninety year old pipes stay in the walls. We handle kitchens, baths, additions, and whole house renovations, and we manage the approvals that come with the address. Call (713) 828-3097 for a free estimate.

Every River Oaks lot sits under deed restrictions enforced by the River Oaks Property Owners Association, and plans are reviewed before construction. Exterior work, additions, driveways, and walkways go to the ROPO board under its architectural review process. The restrictions even cap impermeable cover, so a wider drive or a larger patio has to fit the lot's allowance. City of Houston permits still apply on top, since River Oaks sits inside the city.
The review is workable when the plans respect it. We prepare drawings that show setbacks, coverage, and materials, and we sequence board approval ahead of the city permit so the schedule holds. Interior remodels are simpler, since the restrictions concern themselves with what shows from the street and what the lot carries. Kitchens, baths, and systems work run like any Houston project, finished to a higher standard.
Kitchens lead, from full kitchen remodels to butler's pantries and bars built to match original millwork. Primary bath renovations follow, with natural stone, custom cabinetry, and frameless glass. We also take on home additions and phased whole house renovations of houses that have not been opened up in decades.
Houses from the twenties and thirties hide their age in the walls. Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains from the original construction are past their lifespan. Our master plumbers replace them with a whole house repipe or a new sewer line, and the finishes are restored by the same company. Our electricians bring panels up to the loads a modern kitchen, wine storage, and an EV charger add.

VCS did an outstanding job on our kitchen and master bed/bath remodel. What made them different was their attention to detail from start to finish. Trey would meet with us on a weekly basis to review completed work as well as scheduling and work for the following week. His team was extremely professional, knowledgable, and courteous. They went above and beyond for us and the quality of work was fantastic. They focused and kept to the scheduled timeline. I would highly recommend VCS Construction and Remodeling.
VCS Construction was as professional as it gets. Our exterior project was completed on budget and on time with the attention to detail on quality. Any issues or concerns were handled quickly and professionally. I would recommend them to everyone.
We hired VCS for a custom garage buildout and they delivered to the highest degree. Trey went over countless ideas for what I wanted and I could not be happier with the outcome. He is a well respected car guy in the community so he does know his stuff when it comes to custom Garages. Well Done!
