Siding tear off and replace, roofing (shingle or metal), gutters, front door replacement, exterior paint, and landscaping.

The three highest return upgrades are fiber cement siding in a contemporary color palette, new front door with sidelights and modern hardware, front landscape refresh with hardscape walkway. In Houston specifically, hurricane and flood restoration is a year round revenue stream. homeowners in west university, bellaire, and the heights invest heavily in kitchen and whole home renovations tied to resale value.

Old siding often hides water damage on sheathing that only shows up after tear off. Budget 2,000 to 8,000 dollars in contingency for sheathing repair on any home 30+ years old.

Texas does not require a state general contractor licence but Houston mandates permits and licensed trade contractors for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and mechanical work through the City of Houston Building Code Enforcement.
