Home Additions in Cypress.
Additions live or die on two details: how the new foundation is tied to the old one, and how the roofline meets the existing house. Get those right and the addition disappears into the home. Get them wrong and you see the seam from the street for the next thirty years.

Cypress homes
Cypress is dominated by 2000s and newer builder homes with generous square footage and generic finishes. Most owners here are not moving walls — they are upgrading: custom cabinetry and islands in the kitchen, converting the primary bath into a wet room, building out media rooms and home offices, and adding covered patios with outdoor kitchens for the backyard.
We start with a survey and a setback, coverage, and deed restriction review, then design to what the lot actually allows, then handle permitting and any HOA or architectural committee submittal on your behalf.
Who reviews it
Most of Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, which means no city building permit for many interior remodels but real requirements for structural, electrical, plumbing, floodplain, and septic work — plus HOA architectural review in nearly every community. We confirm what applies to your address before design is finalized.

Cypress questions
Will the addition crack where it meets the existing house?
Not if the foundation is designed for it. On Houston clay we specify a foundation system for the addition that is engineered to move with the existing slab, plus control joints where the structures meet.
How much can I add to my lot?
Lot coverage, setbacks, and in many Cypress neighborhoods deed restrictions or an HOA architectural committee determine it. We check all of them before we draw anything.
Do I need a permit to remodel in unincorporated Cypress?
It depends on the work. Many cosmetic interior remodels do not require a county building permit, while structural, electrical, plumbing, and floodplain work does. Your HOA almost always requires approval for exterior changes.
Do you build outdoor kitchens in Bridgeland and Towne Lake?
Yes. Covered structures, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and pool decks are among our most requested Cypress projects.
