Who issues permits in Spring

Spring is unincorporated. South of Spring Creek, most addresses fall under the Harris County Engineering Department for permits, while addresses north of the creek are in Montgomery County. Old Town Spring's shops have their own commercial needs.

Before you sign a contract, confirm two things: whether your address is inside city limits, and whether an HOA, MUD or community association has its own approval step. A permit from the Harris County Engineering Department permits does not replace HOA approval, and HOA approval does not replace a permit. For a deeper walkthrough of permit steps, see our Houston remodel permit guide.

What the ground is like in Spring

Ask any Spring homeowner with a sticking door: the clay moves. Harris and Montgomery counties soils are mostly clay-rich, and they gain and lose volume with moisture. You can check what is mapped under your own lot on the USDA Web Soil Survey. For slabs and footings, that means planning drainage away from the foundation and keeping moisture steady. More detail is in why concrete cracks on Houston clay.

Water: the Spring planning question

Spring Creek forms the line between Harris and Montgomery counties, and Cypress Creek also drains the area. Both have flooded nearby homes in major storms. Before an addition, a patio slab or a garage conversion, check the FEMA flood map for the property and the local rules from the Harris County Flood Control District. Live rain and stream gauges across Harris County are on the Harris County Flood Warning System.

Storms and roofs in Spring

Hurricanes, tropical storms, hail and straight-line wind all reach Spring. The National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office issues the official watches and warnings. After a storm, photograph damage before cleanup, tarp active leaks, and get an on-site inspection before signing anything. Our hail damage checklist walks through it.

What Spring property owners ask us to build and fix

Spring mixes older subdivisions, wooded lots and newer communities, plus the shops in Old Town Spring. Older homes need foundation and structural repair, roofs and kitchen updates; small commercial owners need storefront and interior refreshes.

Spring's wooded lots mean roots, shade and falling limbs are part of every outdoor project, from patio placement to roof wear on the shaded side. Rental owners in Spring call for make-ready work, and investors buying older homes ask for repair scopes before they commit. Retail owners along the main corridors need interior refreshes when tenants turn over.

Services that fit Spring best:

• Foundation repair. Slab and pier-and-beam leveling and structural work. We look at cracks, door fit, floor slope and drainage on site, then explain whether it is cosmetic or structural. See what drives foundation repair cost.
• Kitchen renovations. Cabinets, counters, backsplash, lighting and layout changes. Moving plumbing, gas or walls usually triggers a permit, so we plan that up front. Our kitchen remodel planning guide covers the decisions in order.
• Commercial construction. Repairs, refreshes and small construction for shops, offices and warehouses, scheduled around your business hours where possible.
• Roof repair. Leaks, missing or creased shingles, flashing failures and storm damage. We document damage with photos so you have a record for any claim conversation.

BPC also handles home renovations, home remodeling, roof installation, foundation pouring, driveway installation, deck and patio construction, and general contracting for multi-trade jobs. See a related guide: houston clay soil foundation.

What to have ready for a Spring site visit

Bring what you already know: the parcel record, any survey or elevation certificate, HOA rules, and photos of the problem. If the property is a rental or commercial space in Spring, share the move-in or opening date so the permit and inspection steps are planned from day one.

Digging for a slab, footing, fence or driveway in Spring? Texas law expects a utility locate request first. Contact Texas811 before excavation so gas, power, water and telecom lines are marked; on larger Spring jobs we handle that request as part of site prep.

Spring FAQ

Does the county or a city permit my project in Spring?

Spring is unincorporated, so it depends on which side of Spring Creek you are on: Harris County to the south, Montgomery County to the north.

Can trees near the house affect the foundation?

Large trees pull moisture from clay soil, which can add to movement. We look at that during an on-site visit.

Do you give prices on this page?

No. Every property is different, so pricing comes after a free on-site estimate.
