1-stop shop for all your flooring, countertop, and remodeling needs! We have the largest selection of granite slabs in the Bay area and Clear Lake Area. We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodelings. We are an authorized dealer of Silestone and Okite. Member of the Better Business Bureau, Angie's List,Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce, and the Residential Construction Commission. Recipient of the BBB Award of Excellence.

"DE Flooring has been our go to general contractor for 3 separate projects in the past 15 years. 1st project was to replace all the kitchen countertops/bars & niches’ ledges with a beautiful veined high end granite. 2nd was a shower enlargement and installation gorgeous slab marble to the shower, separate tub surround and double vanity. The scope of the work also included to close up a wall and add an arched built in to our master bedroom. All the work was superior quality, it became even more apparent when after an unpreventable illness this awesome shower had to be replace to accommodate a zero entrance ledge and a wheelchair entry, hence another complete remodel. In the process of this 3rd project remodel it was easy to see behind all the walls and 10 years later not a drop of water had leaked or penetrated the original install. It was so tight it was difficult to take it down. I am confident this second remodel of the bathroom will be just as well done as the first. We also chose to replace the master suite carpeting which gives quite an uplift to the rooms. The owner comes by and double checks on the progress daily, instructs his crews and speaks to us. He never has dismissed our inquiries no matter what adversity could be lurking in his personal life. His subs are all professional, friendly and extremely respectful at all times. This is also a reflection of the leadership. You cannot go wrong by engaging this company to do your construction. If a mistake happens it will be rectified immediately with no argument as well. Mr. Abdoul will personally get it done."

"Ronnie was awesome. They communicated multiple times about time and date (reminders leading up to the day) and when I showed up he was already complete with the drone footage and doing his inspection space by space. He was thoroughly knowledgeable and very kind and personable. He eased a lot of concerns and then sent over a 13 page report with photos and directions. It was amazing and totally worth the money for peace of mind Amin this whole process. I will be using their services a few more times for this and Ronnie laid out the next phase and who would be doing what. Overall, it was really great. Highly recommend!"

Today’s economy has everyone being more price conscious than ever; looking for more creative ways to save money. We can assist you with this! At Allgood Plumbing Company, our mission is to provide you with the most reliable, trustworthy, best valued plumbing service available! We offer fair upfront pricing with no hidden charges! Estimates are free and service you can afford. We guarantee that all work is done to your satisfaction and it will be fixed right the 1st time!

"I spoke to Jerry at around 7:45 am and he said he could be out around 9:30 am or so. He showed up just before 9:00 am. I explained to him the issue, and it ended up being an easy fix. The service call was $125 and he had the line cleared in about 15 minutes. I think that was the same price I paid a guy to come out and just find the sewer clean out line for me a few years ago. I would hire him again if he was available, but he is a one man company and can only take so many calls in a day. A nice guy out of New Caney. Thanks for the help and quick response Jerry."

Walk-in closets, reach-in closets, Home Offices, Media Centers, Garages, Laundry Rooms, and Pantries are some of the areas we specialize in. We take great pride in manufacturing our own products, in our state of the art facility located in Tomball, Tx. Cutting Edge Closets is a BBB ACCREDITED A+ rated business with 0 complaints in over 22 years! All of our work is covered by our Lifetime Guarantee! Our trained designers will meet with you in your home for a Free Design Consultation, taking an inventory of your storage items and discussing your exact storage needs. Using our exclusive CAD program, our designers can show you a 3D rendering of your project, many times right there during the consultation.

Our trained installers are Cutting Edge Closets employees that have gone through a rigorous training program and screening. All of our current installers have 10 years or more of experience, with a few approaching 20 years with our company! They will arrive at your home in our clean company vans to complete your install. Most of our installs take only one day! And all of our work will ALWAYS end with our signature "Spotless Clean-up". Give Cutting Edge Closets a call today, and have your space organized quickly and efficiently by the pros at Cutting Edge Closets.

"In my new Houston high-rise condo I had Cutting Edge rebuil 5 closets, including a giant master walk-in with lighted glass cabinets for purse display; a storage closet for extra products and clothing; laundry cabinets; butler's pantry; and, a guest bedroom built-in for hanging and storage. Not my first time at closet/cabinet custom work. But this time was a pleasure! Bill came immediately for in-home planning, then in 3 days he held a zoom design review, 2nd zoom design review and fast, then in 10 days, perfect execution of the plan. Not one minute of that horrible process of waiting for carpenters, painters to stink up and cover the space with tarps - it is what I would call "fast custom." The work is beautiful, very high-end. Very fair price, turn-key quote that was 100% the final bill - No surprises. Installers were super professional and determined that the customer would be happy -- and I am one happy customer! Cutting Edge Owner even came to check out during the job! They have done this nearly 30 yrs. and are exactly what you pray for when you need a contractor."

"The wait for installation was long and when scheduled, they called to "reschedule" due to the installer. Apparently they use outside contractors to install. When they showed up, they worked hard but one installer left for over 2 hours, leaving on one to work. They did not want to quit and come back (found out they get paid by the job and couldn't pick up a new job until ours was finished. They left the house at 10:05 PM. The salesman put the wrong transitions in the order despite numerous conversations. They also installed the shoe molding around our kitchen island wrong. I went to store in Pearland the next day. My salesman had been transferred and I met with the District Manager. It took over a week to get anyone back out to fix and then they brought the wrong transitions again. I called the District Manager and complained. She told me they weren't there to fix the island until I asked her to check the paperwork and she admitted it was on the work order. After numerous phone calls, the installers went to Home Depot and came back with something that would work. They were nice and got it fixed. The carpet was scheduled later and when they showed up, they pulled the old pile carpet and told me that the defects in the staircase would show up if they installed the berber carpet. I asked why the salesman didn't discuss that with me. He said the salesmen don't install. They suggested I fix the staircase, repaint it and call them back. I got it fixed and called the store. The District Manager told me it would be 3 weeks before they could come back even though the installer said it would take less than 2 hours to install it. I have called back and asked to improve the installation. They said they send an email to installation but I am still waiting a week later. I am calling the COO in Houston tomorrow. The first 2 times I used Floors for Living, they were privately owned but have been purchased by another company. The entire process was much different and less congenial. I won't ever use them again and caution anyone thinking about it to check multiple review sources."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

The cost of a home renovation depends on its complexity and extent. A large remodeling project may top $71,000, while a smaller project may cost around $15,000. Using a home renovation cost estimator before you begin can give you an idea of what you can expect to pay to revamp your home.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.
