Houston's clay soil shifts with every wet and dry season, and many homes were built under older codes. When you repair after a storm or sell a house, the work often has to meet today's requirements — not the ones from 1985.
What we do
- Correcting unpermitted or out-of-code work found during inspection
- Bringing roof decking, underlayment and ventilation up to current code
- Drip edge, flashing and fastening upgrades required on replacements
- Coordinating slab and pier-and-beam foundation repair with structural engineers
- Repairing drywall cracks, sticking doors and framing shifted by foundation movement
- Permit coordination with the city or county
Why it matters
Many homeowner policies include ordinance or law coverage, which can pay for upgrades code requires during a covered repair. We itemize code items separately so your adjuster can see them.
Free estimates
Estimates are free for residential and commercial sites. Call the office or request a quote and we'll come take a look — no obligation, no pressure. Financing through our 27-lender network, including Synchrony, is available.
Frequently asked questions
Will insurance pay for code upgrades?
Only if your policy includes ordinance or law coverage, and only up to its limit. Check your declarations page; we itemize code items so they can be reviewed.
