Home Additions in Memorial.
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.

Memorial homes
Memorial Bend and Wilchester are full of 1950s and 60s ranch homes with great bones, low ceilings, and compartmentalized plans — ideal candidates for opening up the public rooms, raising ceilings, and adding a proper primary suite. In Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, and Piney Point, projects skew toward large-scale renovations and new custom construction on established lots.
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
Each village — Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, Piney Point, Hedwig — runs its own permitting with its own setback, drainage, and tree rules, and they are stricter than the City of Houston. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address and manage the submittal and inspections there.

Memorial 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 Memorial neighborhoods deed restrictions or an HOA architectural committee determine it. We check all of them before we draw anything.
Do you permit in the Memorial Villages?
Yes. Each village has its own building department and drainage and tree requirements, and we handle the submittal, revisions, and inspections.
Can a 1960s ranch get vaulted ceilings?
Often yes. It depends on the roof framing and load paths, which we evaluate with a structural engineer during design.
