Ready to remodel? The Woodlands Home Repairs brings quality, excellence to all projects

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Chances are, there is a room (or two!) in your home that you’d love to repair, restore or remodel. And while Chip and Joanna Gaines of the popular show “Fixer Upper” make it look so easy to do, the reality is that a home renovation of any size will need a professional. The Woodlands Home Repairs has been serving The Woodlands and surrounding areas for 10 years, bringing quality and professionalism to every job.

Chris Degen, founder of The Woodlands Home Repairs, didn’t always know he would remodel homes. Degen served in the United States Navy and was stationed in Pearl Harbor for four years. After his time with the Navy, he then worked in home construction.

“That is where I gained the knowledge to start my remodeling company, which has been in business for 10 years as of October 2019,” Degen said.

The same commitment to excellence that propelled him through his time serving in the Navy is seen in each job Degen works on. The area’s residential growth over the last 10 years has been substantial, and while home builders offer beautiful floor plans, often there is a room or two that homeowners would love to add their own touches to.

“The most common repair/remodel we are asked to do are kitchen and bathroom remodels,” Degen said. “There is a saying that kitchens and bathrooms sell houses, so I think that is why people choose to invest their money there. Additionally, we do a lot of room additions, attic build-outs, patio covers, outdoor kitchens and much more.”

The Woodlands Home Repairs offers an array of remodeling services, but they go the extra mile in also offering handyman services. Need someone to hang pictures or curtains? Fix a simple leak? Degen is there to help.

Many homeowners are open to a remodel, but don’t quite know where to start.

“Beware of the low bid,” Degen said. “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you hire someone who has been around for awhile who you know will stand behind their work. You will definitely get that with us.”

Proper planning and execution help alleviate many of the obstacles that could come along with home remodels. While television shows have sparked interest in home repairs and remodels, there can be issues when homeowners try to tackle a project alone.

“Sometimes people try to do the work themselves, which does not always turn out so well,” Degen said. “That can make it more difficult for us when we are called in to finish. Also, the prices they quote on those shows are not always reflective of prices here in The Woodlands. That gives people a false sense of what they can actually accomplish because they usually say things cost less than they actually do or quote DIY prices on those shows.”

The design part of the process can be a daunting one. While many people may be able to quickly pinpoint what room in their house they would like to give a fresh look, it becomes much more difficult when it comes down to design. The Woodlands Home Repairs is there from the beginning of the design process all the way through the finished product - and beyond. Their vast portfolio of past projects helps clients come up with a design idea. Degen also has a designer he trusts and can refer to his clients. The Woodlands Township has an approval process, and the designer can handle getting the approval on behalf of the client.

The Woodlands Home Repairs is a trusted and highly-rated business serving the community. They offer free estimates for home owners who are interested in a remodel and want to be financially prepared for the project.

“Once an estimate is provided we can add to or take away things to try to fit a budget and/or suggest other ways to do so,” Degen said. “We’re here to make the remodel work for your home and your budget.”

Degen said any time of year is a good time to remodel. With the holidays right around the corner, now may be a great opportunity to contact The Woodlands Home Repairs for a consultation. Not only will you get a quality remodel by a company built on the pillars of quality and excellence, but you’ll support a Woodlands-area business owned by your neighbors.

“[I love] getting to know my awesome neighbors!” Degen said. “We have so many customers who are now like family - it is amazing. I look forward to our next ten years and more serving The Woodlands community!”
