Why Cypress

Cypress grew in waves, and each wave needs different work.

Cypress is not a city. It is unincorporated Harris County, inside Houston's extra-territorial area. There is no city building department here. Some jobs, like additions, new slabs, driveways, and work in a floodplain, need a Harris County permit. Most interior remodels do not. A fence outside the flood hazard area needs no county permit at all.

The neighborhoods went up in waves. Copperfield sold its first homes around 1979. Fairfield started in 1988 and kept building into the 2000s. Coles Crossing followed in the late 1990s. Bridgeland has been selling homes since 2006, and Towne Lake started in 2007. The oldest homes now need roof repair and updated baths. The newer ones often need drainage fixes and fences.

Cy-Fair neighborhoods

We work across Cypress and the wider Cy-Fair area.

Some of these have Cypress mailing addresses. Others, like Copperfield and Lakes on Eldridge North, mostly have Houston addresses but sit in the same Cy-Fair area. If yours is not listed, call and ask.

What makes Cypress different

Four local factors we plan for on Cypress jobs.

01

County Rules, Not City Rules

Harris County does not run city-style building inspections for home remodels. It issues development and floodplain permits for things like additions, slabs, fill, and driveways in the right-of-way. We check what your job needs.

02

Cypress Creek Flooding

Harvey flooded about 8,750 homes in the Cypress Creek watershed and about 700 more along Little Cypress Creek. If your lot is in a mapped floodplain, big projects may need a county floodplain permit.

03

Storms, Wind, and Hail

On May 16, 2024, a derecho sent two EF1 tornadoes through southern Cypress. NOAA also logged 1.5-inch hail in Cypress in December 2024. Storms like these loosen shingles and knock down fence sections.

04

Older Roofs in Older Sections

Fairfield's first homes are now more than 35 years old, and Copperfield's are older still. Many first roofs in these sections have been replaced once or are due for a close look.

These come from customers across the Houston area. We picked reviews about French drains, interior repairs, and fence work, the jobs we see most in Cy-Fair.

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Saul did on my French drains! From start to finish, the entire experience was amazing. They were professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and paid great attention to detail. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and they took the time to make sure everything was done properly. They also kept the work area clean and left my yard looking great when they were finished. It’s such a relief to have my drainage issues taken care of, and I feel confident knowing the job was done right. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing drainage or French drain work. Amazing job and excellent service from beginning to end! Highly recommended."

Yard Drainage

Typical French drain job in Cypress

Flat lots and heavy rain leave many Cypress backyards under water for days. A French drain is a gravel trench with a perforated pipe that carries water away from the house and fence line. We check where the water collects, where it can safely drain, and whether your lot is in a floodplain.

  • Common signs: Standing water after rain, soggy grass, mud along the fence or slab.
  • What we check: The slope of the yard, gutter downspouts, and a safe outlet for the water.

Roof Repair

Typical roof repair on an older Cy-Fair home

In the older parts of Fairfield and Copperfield, roofs see years of sun, wind, and hail. We see lifted shingles, worn pipe boots, and soft spots at the eaves. Sometimes a repair is enough. Sometimes the roof is due for replacement, and we will tell you which.

  • Common signs: Lifted or missing shingles after wind, granules in the gutters, attic leaks.
  • What we check: Shingle age, flashing, pipe boots, and rot at the fascia.
  • Related service: Roof repair

Bathroom Update

Typical bathroom update in Cypress

Many Cypress homes from the 1990s and 2000s still have their first bathrooms. Common updates are new tile, a new vanity, and a walk-in shower in place of a tub. We check for hidden water damage before we close anything up.

  • Common signs: Worn grout, dated vanities, leaks at the tub or shower.
  • What we check: Subfloor, framing, and plumbing behind the walls.
  • Related service: Bathroom remodeling
  • 01Do I need a permit for a remodel in Cypress?

    Often not. Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, and the county does not issue city-style building permits for most interior remodels. The county does issue permits for development like additions, slabs, fill, driveways in the right-of-way, and work in a floodplain. We check your project before we start.

  • 02Does a new fence need a permit in Cypress?

    Not usually. Harris County says a fence outside the flood hazard area does not need a permit. Your HOA may still have rules on height, style, and which side faces out, so check those first.

  • 03How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?

    Look for missing or lifted shingles, granules in the gutters, and stains on your ceiling. Many homes in Fairfield and Copperfield are more than 25 years old. We can inspect it and tell you honestly if a repair will do.

  • 04My backyard floods every time it rains. What can I do?

    A French drain is often the fix. It moves water through a gravel trench and pipe to a safe outlet. We look at your yard's slope and downspouts first, since sometimes the fix is simpler.

  • 05Do you work in Bridgeland and Towne Lake?

    Yes. We take jobs in both, along with Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Copperfield, and the rest of Cy-Fair. Your HOA may need to approve exterior changes first.
