Why Katy

Katy homes sit where three counties meet.

The City of Katy sits right where Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties meet. Much of the Katy area is outside city limits, too. So the rules for your job depend on your exact address. Homes inside city limits get permits from the City of Katy on Avenue C. Cross Creek Ranch is inside the City of Fulshear. Other homes fall under county rules. We check which one applies before we quote.

Much of the Katy area was built after 1990. Cinco Ranch sold its first homes in 1991. Nottingham Country is older, from the 1970s and 80s. Builders like Trendmaker, Taylor Morrison, and Toll Brothers built many of the newer communities. That means lots of first roofs, builder-grade baths, and fences now reaching the age where they need work. Our roof leak repair and tub-to-shower conversion pages explain those jobs in more detail.

Katy-area communities

We work across Katy and its master-planned communities.

Some of these are inside the City of Katy. Others have Katy mailing addresses but sit in unincorporated county land, and a few are in Fulshear. If your community is not listed, call us and we will tell you if we can take the job.

What makes Katy different

Four local factors we plan for on Katy jobs.

01

Reservoir Flood Pools

During Harvey in 2017, Barker and Addicks reservoirs rose to record levels. Homes inside the flood pools took on water. If your home sits in a mapped floodplain or pool, an addition or large remodel may need a county floodplain permit.

02

Sandy Loam Over Clay

Many Katy yards have sandy loam on top and clay loam below, per the USDA soil survey. Rain soaks in, then sits on the clay. That is why yards stay soggy and fence posts lean. A French drain can help.

03

Spring Hail

NOAA logged tennis-ball-size hail in Katy in May 2019 and 2-inch hail near I-10 and Fry Road in April 2023. After a storm, we check for bruised shingles, dents, and new leaks.

04

The Right Permit Office

Your address may fall under the City of Katy, the City of Fulshear, or Harris, Fort Bend, or Waller County. Each has its own rules. We find out which one covers your job first.

What Houston-area homeowners say about Saul

5.0 stars from 65 Google reviewsRead every review on Google

These come from customers across the Houston area. We picked reviews about roof repair, a bathroom remodel, and a fence replacement, the jobs Katy homeowners ask us about most.

"Tree service accidently put a hole in our roof. Saul came promptly and worked well after dark to secure the hole. He came back the next morning and finished the job. The roof looks like there never was a problem. I also had Saul change a broken security light fixture. Excellent job and he cleaned up after himself."
Alan SaberGoogle review, Nov 2024
"Saul remodeled our bathroom and did a beautiful job. He replaced and hung new doors, tiled, painted, and made sure every detail was perfect. Fair prices, good english, and easy to work with."
Reed ShelgerGoogle review, Jul 2026
"Saul and his team did a great job on our fence. We'd been needing to replace our fence for a while and had received a few quotes. Very happy with the price and how it turned out. Would definitely recommend and use him again."

Roof Leak Repair

Typical roof leak repair in Katy

Many Katy roofs are now on their first set of shingles. Leaks often start at pipe boots, flashing, or the valleys after a hailstorm. We find where the water gets in, fix the damaged area, and check the decking and fascia nearby for rot.

  • Common signs: Ceiling stains, damp attic insulation, missing or bruised shingles after hail.
  • What we check: Pipe boots, flashing, valleys, and soft decking.

Bathroom Remodel

Typical bathroom remodel in a Katy home

A lot of Katy homes still have the builder's original baths. A common request is to swap a rarely used tub for a walk-in shower. We remove the tub, fix any water damage we find, and tile a new shower with a low curb or none at all.

  • Common signs: Dated tile, cracked grout, a tub nobody uses, soft spots near the tub.
  • What we check: Subfloor and wall framing for water damage before we tile.
  • Related service: Tub-to-shower conversion

Fence & Gate

Typical fence replacement in Katy

Wood fences in Katy take a beating from wet soil and summer sun. Posts lean, boards rot at the bottom, and gates start to drag. We replace the worst sections or the whole run, set posts in concrete, and rehang the gate so it closes right.

  • Common signs: Leaning posts, rotted bottom boards, a gate that drags or will not latch.
  • What we check: Post footings, HOA fence rules, and where water pools along the line.
  • Related service: Gate repair
  • 01Does the Barker or Addicks flood pool affect my remodel?

    It can. Interior updates like a new bathroom usually are not affected. If your home is in a mapped floodplain or reservoir pool, additions, new slabs, and big remodels may need a county floodplain permit. In Harris County, if a floodplain home gets work that costs half or more of its value, the home must meet elevation rules. We check your address before we quote.

  • 02Who issues permits for my Katy address?

    It depends on where you live. Homes inside city limits go through the City of Katy. Cross Creek Ranch is in the City of Fulshear. Homes outside city limits fall under Harris, Fort Bend, or Waller County, and many small jobs there need no permit at all. We look it up for you.

  • 03Can you match my builder's shingle color?

    Often, yes. Most Katy builders used common shingle lines from the big brands. We bring samples and can usually match or come close. If a close match is not possible, we will tell you before any work starts.

  • 04Do you work in the Energy Corridor too?

    Yes. We take jobs along I-10 from Katy east toward Beltway 8, including homes near the Energy Corridor offices.

  • 05What should I do after a Katy hailstorm?

    Check your ceilings and attic for new stains, then call us for a roof check. We look for bruised shingles, dents, and leaks, and we can take photos for your insurance claim.
