Homes built with intention.
Remodels worth living in.
Novara is Houston's design-build studio for kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, whole-home renovations, and custom homes. Fifteen years of craftsmanship, one signature standard.
Six disciplines.
One standard.
Kitchen Remodeling
Custom cabinetry, stone, and layouts engineered around how you actually cook and gather.
Bathroom Remodeling
Spa-caliber primary baths and considered guest baths in Houston's finest homes.
Home Additions
Additions that read as original — matched foundations, structure, and rooflines.
Whole-Home Remodel
Down-to-studs renovations that reimagine flow, light, and finish across the entire home.
Custom Homes
Ground-up architecture and construction on your lot, delivered as one contract.
Commercial Metal Building
Durable, clear-span metal structures for retail, warehouse, and industrial use — engineered and built to spec.
From first sketch to final walk-through.
One design-build team, one contract, one point of accountability. The difference shows up on day one and every day after.

Built by people who answer the phone.
Most Houston remodels fail on communication, not craft. We built Novara to fix both — one dedicated PM, one designer, one crew, start to finish.
About the studioDesign-build under one roof
Architects, designers, and builders on the same team — one contract, one accountability.
Fixed-price proposals
No allowances, no surprise change orders. What we quote is what you pay.
In-house craftsmen
W-2 carpenters, tile setters, and finishers. Not a rotating cast of subs.
Weekly client walk-throughs
You see every phase in person. Live portal for photos, decisions, and invoices.
Houston homeowners, on the record.
“Novara redesigned our kitchen and primary suite in one continuous project. Every date they gave us was kept. Every detail was better than the rendering.”
“We interviewed six firms. Novara was the only one who came back with a fixed price. Six months later, that price didn't move a dollar.”
“The craftsmanship is genuinely exceptional. Cabinets, tile, millwork — the finish work reads like a magazine feature.”
Serving greater Houston.
We keep our footprint tight so every project gets weekly on-site attention from the Novara team.

Answers before you ask.
- How long does a typical kitchen or bath remodel take?
- Kitchens: 10–14 weeks on site after design. Baths: 6–10 weeks. Whole-home renovations and additions typically run 6–10 months.
- What's the investment range for your projects?
- Kitchens start at $85K, baths at $45K, whole-home remodels at $350K, custom homes at $500/sqft. Every proposal is fixed-price.
- Do you handle permits and drawings?
- Yes. Design, engineering, permitting, and inspections are all managed in-house — you never coordinate with the city.
- Can we live in the home during construction?
- For kitchens and baths, usually yes with a temporary setup. For whole-home renovations, we recommend relocating for the messy phases.
- What warranty do you offer?
- A written 2-year workmanship warranty on everything we build, plus full manufacturer warranties on all installed products.
