Frequently Asked Questions

In the state of Texas, there is no state-level "General Contractor" license. However, any reputable contractor must be registered with the City of Houston (or local municipalities like Katy or Sugar Land) and carry significant General Liability Insurance. At Walker Home Solutions, we are fully insured and our master plumbers and electricians hold all required state trade licenses.

Look for longevity and local references. We have been serving the Greater Houston area for over 24 years. We recommend checking the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and asking for a portfolio of recent projects completed specifically in your neighborhood (like Cinco Ranch or Riverstone).

Yes. Unlike large "sales-first" firms where you never see the owner again, Kevin Walker is a hands-on owner. He personally manages the crew and project milestones to ensure our "clean job site" promise and quality standards are met.

While every project is custom, a minor kitchen refresh in the Houston area typically starts at $20,000–$30,000. A mid-range remodel with semi-custom cabinets and quartz counters usually ranges from $35,000–$65,000, while high-end luxury transformations can exceed $80,000+.

Small guest bathrooms or "pull-and-replace" updates typically range from $12,000–$18,000. Full primary "spa" suite renovations in areas like The Woodlands or Cypress usually start at $25,000–$45,000 depending on the complexity of the tile work and plumbing moves.

Most contractors take weeks to get you a price. We value your time. After our initial on-site consultation, we guarantee a detailed, transparent bid delivered to your inbox within 3 business days.

A standard kitchen remodel usually takes 4 to 8 weeks once construction begins. Larger structural projects or those involving custom-ordered cabinetry may take longer. We provide a clear schedule before we ever swing a hammer.

It depends on the scope. For kitchen or single-room remodels, most clients stay in their homes. For whole-home updates or major floor replacements, some clients prefer to move out for 2–3 weeks to avoid the dust and noise. We use HEPA air scrubbers and floor protection to minimize the impact on your daily life.

While we prefer to source materials through our vetted local suppliers to guarantee quality and warranties, we are happy to work with you if you have already purchased specific "finish" items like lighting or a specialized backsplash.

Yes. Most structural, electrical, and plumbing changes require permits from the City of Katy, City of Sugar Land, or Harris/Fort Bend County.

We do. Walker Home Solutions handles the entire permitting process from start to finish. We also provide the necessary documentation (drawings, material lists) you need to submit to your neighborhood HOA or Architectural Review Committee.

Yes. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator. We follow strict containment and disposal protocols to ensure your family remains safe during the demolition of older homes in established Houston neighborhoods.
