Understanding What Makes the Heights Unique

The Houston Heights isn't just a neighborhood — it's Houston's most beloved historic district. Its Craftsman bungalows, Victorian cottages, and Arts & Crafts homes tell the story of Houston's earliest residential development.

Why Heights Remodeling Requires Specialized Expertise

Heights homes were built between 1890 and 1940, featuring original heart pine floors, plaster walls, transom windows, and decorative woodwork that simply can't be replicated with modern materials. A contractor unfamiliar with these homes may inadvertently destroy what makes them irreplaceable.

Right Choice Remodeling approaches every Heights project with historical sensitivity. We know when to restore original materials and when modern equivalents better serve longevity. We work within Houston Heights Association guidelines and Historic District ordinances to ensure your renovation enhances — never diminishes — your home's character.

Open up the traditionally compartmentalized Heights floor plan by carefully removing non-load-bearing walls to create modern open-concept kitchens. We blend period-appropriate design elements (shaker cabinets, subway tile, farmhouse sinks) with modern appliances and functional layouts.
