VCS Construction and Remodeling handles home remodeling in West University Place. Many blocks here mix 1920s to 1940s cottages and Tudors with larger homes rebuilt since the 1990s. The whole city covers about two square miles, so lots are small and houses sit close together. Remodel plans have to respect tight setbacks and the city's own permit rules.
In West U we remodel kitchens and baths, take on whole home projects, build additions, and replace old plumbing. Master plumbers and master electricians are part of our own team. We are based about four miles away, near downtown Houston, so West U is a quick drive for us. Estimates are free, and the number is (713) 828-3097.

Lots here first sold in 1917, and cottages and Tudors filled many blocks by the 1940s. Ranch homes followed in the northwest part of the city in the 1940s and 1950s. Since the 1990s, many owners have torn down the small originals and built bigger new homes. Today you see prewar homes right next to newer brick two-story builds.
West U runs its own permit office through its Community Development department. A third-party consultant checks plans for zoning, and a city forester reviews tree protection. Lots are small, so additions must fit strict setback and lot coverage rules. We design with those limits in mind from the first sketch.
High end kitchen and bath work suits both kinds of West U homes. Prewar cottages often need new layouts, and many 1990s rebuilds are due for new finishes. Additions take extra care here, because small lots leave little room to grow. Our architect and engineers design additions to fit tight setbacks and coverage limits.
Homes built before the 1960s often still have galvanized water lines. Drains from that era are usually cast iron, and both corrode from the inside. We replace them with PEX supply lines and new sewer lines during a remodel. We also replace old electrical panels when a bigger kitchen adds load.

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!
