Remodeling & General Contractor in Richmond, TX
CS Roofing Concepts works as the general contractor on residential remodeling across Richmond, Rosenberg, Missouri City, Katy, Sugar Land and Fulshear — kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, additions and repair work after water damage. One contract, one crew, one person answering the phone. It matters most on the jobs where the roof, the ceiling and the room underneath all need attention at once.
Call (281) 202-4382 · Mon–Fri 8am–5pm · Sat 8am–12pm
What we take on
- Kitchens and bathrooms. Cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures and the framing and surface repair that goes with them.
- Water damage repair. Ceilings, drywall, insulation and flooring after a roof leak — including fixing the leak that caused it, which is not always the case when you hire these out separately.
- Flooring. Tile, luxury vinyl plank, and laminate.
- Windows and exterior doors. Replacement and the trim, flashing and seal work around them.
- Patio covers and exterior structures. Including the low-slope roofing they need.
- Room additions. Talk to us early about scope — permitting and structure drive the timeline more than the finishes do.

What a general contractor actually does on your job
A general contractor is the single party responsible for the whole project: scoping the work, sequencing the trades, ordering materials, keeping the site safe, and being accountable when something behind a wall turns out different to what everyone expected. On a small job that is one crew and one week. On a renovation it means the roofer, the framer, the drywall crew and the finish carpenter show up in the right order and nobody stands around waiting.
Homeowners reach for a general contractor at one of three moments: the job crosses more than one trade, the job touches structure, or a repair has uncovered something bigger. All three describe most of what we get called for.
The trades we cover
Every one of these is our own crew or a crew we have worked with for years. Follow any of them for detail on that specific job:
- Roof Replacement. Full tear-off and new roof systems built for Gulf Coast heat, hail and hurricane season.
- Roof Repair. Leaks, missing shingles, flashing and flat-roof repairs.
- Storm & Hail Damage. Documented inspection and restoration after Texas storms, photographed throughout.
- Seamless Gutters. Gutters and downspouts sized to move Gulf Coast rain away from the foundation.
- Siding. Replacement and repair that seals the building envelope.
- Fencing. Wood and metal fencing built for Texas wind and wet ground.
Where hiring one contractor actually helps
Most remodeling jobs do not need a single contractor for the whole exterior and interior. But some do, and those are the ones that go badly when they are split up. A leak that stained a ceiling involves a roofer, a drywall contractor and a painter, and if you hire all three separately, each one waits on the last and nobody owns the outcome. When the same company does the roof repair and then the ceiling, there is one schedule and one person answering for the result.
The same logic applies to a few other combinations we see constantly: a bathroom remodel where the vent fan has been dumping humid air into the attic for a decade, a kitchen where the window above the sink has been leaking behind the cabinet run, and a patio cover that needs a low-slope membrane rather than the shingles somebody put on it. In each case the visible job and the hidden cause are on opposite sides of the ceiling.
Doing water damage in the right order
This is the work we get called for most, and the order matters more than anything else about it:
- Stop the water. Nothing inside gets touched until the source is found and fixed. Repairing a ceiling under an active leak is money set on fire, and we will not do it.
- Open it up and find the actual extent. A stain the size of a dinner plate on the ceiling routinely means a wet area several times that size in the insulation above it. Moisture readings, not guesswork.
- Dry it properly. Wet insulation comes out, the cavity gets dried, and we confirm it is dry before anything closes. Closing a wet cavity in Gulf Coast humidity is how you get mould in a room that looks perfect.
- Rebuild. Drywall, texture matched to the rest of the room, prime and paint. Ceiling texture matching is a real skill and a bad match is visible forever.
- Flooring and trim last. After the ceiling work is done, not before, so the finished floor is not the surface everything else is dropped on.
What matters in a Fort Bend house specifically
- Bathroom and kitchen ventilation. Fans must terminate outside the building, not into the attic. A surprising number around here do not, and the roof deck above them pays for it.
- Foundation movement. Expansive clay moves houses. Doors that stick and cracks that reopen at the same corner are worth understanding before you spend money on tile that will crack in the same place.
- Humidity and material choice. Luxury vinyl plank and tile behave far better here than laminate in rooms that see moisture.
- Window flashing. A replacement window that is not flashed and integrated with the wall barrier will leak eventually regardless of how good the window is.
How we scope and price it
Remodeling estimates go wrong in one of two ways: a number so vague it can be revised upward at will, or a number so low it was never going to hold. We scope line by line after a walkthrough, state material allowances explicitly so you can see exactly what changes if you upgrade a tile or a faucet, and put in writing what happens if we open a wall and find something nobody could have known about. Change orders get priced and agreed before the work happens, not added to an invoice at the end.
There is no single hourly rate that means anything on residential work in Fort Bend County, and any contractor who gives you one over the phone is guessing. Labour, materials, access and what is found once things are opened up all move the number. What we can tell you is how the number is built — and that you will have it in writing, itemized, before anything starts.
We will also tell you when a project is outside what we take on. Work needing significant structural engineering or a full mechanical, electrical and plumbing redesign is sometimes better served elsewhere, and saying so at the start is cheaper for everyone than discovering it halfway through.

How to vet any contractor in Fort Bend County
This applies to us as much as anyone. Before you sign:
- Ask for the scope in writing, itemizedA lump-sum number with one line on it is not a quote, it is a hope. You cannot compare two bids that are not itemized, and you cannot hold anyone to one.
- Ask who is actually on sitePlenty of outfits sell the job and subcontract every hour of it to whoever is cheapest that month. Ask, and ask whether it is the same crew from start to finish.
- Check they are local and were here last yearAfter a hailstorm, Fort Bend fills with crews who will be in another state by the time the work fails. Look for a real local track record, not a magnet on a truck door.
- Do not lead with your budgetDescribe the problem and ask what it takes to fix it properly. If you name a figure first, that is remarkably often the figure you get quoted, whatever the job needs.
- Get the change-order rule agreed up frontAsk what happens when something unexpected is found. The answer should be that work stops and you approve the revised number before it resumes.
We do not knock on doors after storms and we do not cold-call. If somebody turns up on your porch claiming to be from CS Roofing Concepts, call (281) 202-4382 and check before you let them near the house or sign anything.
Common Questions
Are general contractors licensed in Texas?
Texas does not issue a statewide license for residential general contractors or for roofers, which surprises most homeowners. Some municipalities require registration or permits for specific work. Because there is no state license to hold up, judge a contractor on their local track record, their reviews, their BBB standing, and whether they will put an itemized scope in writing.
How much does a remodeling contractor charge in the Richmond area?
Residential work in Fort Bend County varies too widely for a meaningful hourly figure — scope, access, materials and what is found once walls or decking are opened all move it. The useful question is not the rate but the structure: insist on a line-item quote so you can see materials against labour, and agree in advance what happens to the price if something unexpected is found.
Do I need a general contractor, or just one trade?
If it is one trade and one visit — a leak, a section of fence, a run of gutter — hire that trade directly, and we are happy to do it that way. A general contractor earns their place when the job crosses trades, touches structure, or when a repair keeps coming back and nobody has worked out why.
Do you do full home additions?
Talk to us about the specific project. Scope, permitting and structural requirements vary enormously, and we would rather tell you honestly at the start that something is outside what we take on than find out halfway through.
Can you repair the ceiling after fixing my roof leak?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons people call us for both. We stop the water first, let things dry properly, then repair the damage inside.
Can I live in the house while the work is going on?
For most single-room projects, yes. A kitchen with the sink and range out for a stretch is the one people find hardest, and we will tell you realistically how long that period is before you commit.
Will the new ceiling texture match the rest of the room?
We match it as closely as the existing texture allows, and on a heavily patterned ceiling we will tell you honestly when the only way to make a repair invisible is to redo the whole ceiling plane.
Do you pull permits?
Requirements differ across the cities and the unincorporated parts of Fort Bend County. We confirm what your specific address needs before the job starts and tell you clearly who is responsible for what.
How long before you can start?
Interior work is usually easier to schedule than roofing because it is not weather-dependent. We will give you a start date we can hold rather than an optimistic one.
