What we see in Katy
Most Katy homes we work on are 1995–2015 builder homes in master-planned communities: two-story plans with formal dining rooms nobody uses, closed-off kitchens, builder-grade cabinetry, and dated primary baths with garden tubs. The highest-return projects here are opening the kitchen to the family room, converting the garden tub into a walk-in wet room, and finishing out flex space or a game room above the garage.
Permit & inspection coordination
Depending on your address, permits run through the City of Katy, unincorporated Harris County, Fort Bend County, or Waller County — and most master-planned neighborhoods add an HOA architectural review on top of that. Novara prepares the drawings, submits the packet, and manages inspections so you are not chasing three agencies.

Katy questions
Do you remodel homes in Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch?
Yes. We regularly work throughout Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, and older Katy neighborhoods, and we handle the HOA architectural submittal for exterior work.
How long does a Katy kitchen remodel take?
A typical full kitchen remodel runs 8–12 weeks on site after design and permitting, which usually adds 4–6 weeks up front. Structural changes or custom cabinetry lead times can extend that.
Can you build an addition on a Katy master-planned lot?
Often yes, but setbacks, easements, and HOA rules control what is possible. We review the plat and deed restrictions before design so the addition is approvable, not just drawable.
