Why a reliable contractor matters

From pre-listing repairs to full remodels, the quality of the work reflects on everyone involved. A dependable contractor communicates clearly, shows up on schedule, and delivers craftsmanship that protects the homeowner's investment — helping deals close smoothly and clients stay happy long after.

Contractors also sit on the critical path more often than any other vendor category. Negotiated repairs have to be finished and verified before closing. Pre-listing work has to be done before photos. When a contractor slips a week, your transaction slips with it.

Worth knowing in a transaction

Unpaid contractors can affect title. Texas gives contractors and subcontractors lien rights, and an unresolved claim can surface as a title issue at closing. When repairs are completed during a transaction, make sure the work is paid, invoiced, and documented — and loop your title partner in early if there's any question about outstanding work on the property.

Get the scope in writing before work starts. A written estimate covering scope, materials, timeline, and price protects your client and gives you something concrete to hand the other side when negotiated repairs are being verified.

Permits and pre-1978 homes. Unpermitted work can become a disclosure and appraisal problem later. And for homes built before 1978, renovation that disturbs painted surfaces is subject to federal lead-safe renovation requirements, which apply to the contractor performing the work.

How our agents use this list

A preferred partner list is only useful if it changes what you actually do on Monday.

Get bids during the option period

A written estimate turns "the roof needs work" into a number your client can negotiate with. Guesses cost buyers money and cost sellers credibility.

Document completed repairs

Keep invoices, receipts, and written confirmation that work was paid for. It closes out the repair amendment cleanly and avoids surprises at the closing table.

Give clients options

Provide more than one name and let your client compare bids. It's better service, and it keeps you clear of any suggestion that a particular contractor is required.

Frequently asked questions

What types of projects do these contractors handle?

Services include general construction, remodeling, repairs, painting, sheetrock, and home improvement projects — for sellers preparing to list and for buyers after closing. The service tags on each card show what that contractor focuses on.

Can they complete negotiated repairs before closing?

Yes. A reliable contractor can handle inspection-related and negotiated repairs on the timeline a transaction requires. Confirm availability before agreeing to a repair deadline in an amendment, not after.

Should I get an estimate before starting work?

Always. Request a written estimate and scope of work so expectations, materials, timeline, and pricing are clear before the project begins. In a transaction, that written scope is also what the other side will want to see.

Are general contractors licensed in Texas?

Texas does not issue a statewide general contractor license for most residential remodeling work, though specific trades within a project — electrical, plumbing, HVAC — are separately licensed, and local permitting applies. Because there's no single state credential to check, verifying general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, permits, and recent references matters.

Can unpaid contractor work affect a closing?

It can. Texas provides lien rights to contractors and subcontractors, and an unresolved claim connected to the property may surface during the title search. If work was performed on a property recently, make sure it was paid and documented, and raise anything uncertain with your title partner early.

What about homes built before 1978?

Renovation, repair, or painting that disturbs painted surfaces in pre-1978 housing is subject to federal lead-safe work practice requirements, which apply to the firm performing the work. Sellers also have separate lead-based paint disclosure obligations in most pre-1978 residential transactions.

Does unpermitted work cause problems?

It can. Unpermitted additions or alterations may create disclosure obligations, complicate an appraisal, raise insurance questions, and become a negotiation issue when the home is later sold. When a client is planning work, confirm what requires a permit in their municipality.

Do I have to use a preferred contractor?

No. These partners are provided as a convenience only. Homeowners are always free to choose their own contractor, and comparable services are available from other providers. No one is required to use any partner listed here.

Does a partner pay to be listed here?

No. No partner listed on this page has paid any fee, or provided anything of value, in exchange for placement or referral. Inclusion is based on working relationships with our agents, not on payment.
