Why The Heights Homeowners Choose IAS for Room Additions
IAS Boutique Remodeling designs and builds room additions for homeowners throughout The Heights in Houston, TX. The area's bungalow and Craftsman homes sit on tighter inner-loop lots than the suburbs, and many of them fall within City of Houston historic districts, so additions here have to balance modern living needs with the home's period character and the rules that protect it. Common Heights additions include rear additions that aren't visible from the public right-of-way, in-law and ADU-style cottages or garage conversions, and carefully considered second-story work. We approach each addition as part of the home rather than a bolt-on, coordinating the structural and architectural work so the result feels original rather than added on. As a boutique remodeler we take on a limited number of projects at a time, so your Heights addition receives owner-led attention from the first consultation through the final walkthrough.
- Rear additions designed for tighter Heights lots and bungalow footprints
- In-law cottages, ADU-style additions, and garage conversions
- Period-matching siding, windows, rooflines, and trim so the addition reads as original
- Structural and foundation work integrated cleanly with the existing home
- Familiarity with City of Houston historic-district guidelines and HAHC review
- Owner-led from consultation to walkthrough, and fully insured throughout construction

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build room additions in The Heights?
Yes. IAS Boutique Remodeling takes on additions throughout the greater Heights area, including Houston Heights, Woodland Heights, Norhill, Sunset Heights, Brooke Smith, and Shady Acres. If you're not sure whether we cover your street, just ask when you reach out.
Do you handle permitting for additions in The Heights?
Yes. Additions typically require more permitting than interior remodels — structural, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and any roofline or exterior changes — and we manage the permitting through the City of Houston. We also handle the historic-district review when it applies, so plan review and permitting move together.
What makes IAS different for a Heights room addition?
We're a boutique remodeler by design — a limited number of projects at a time, direct contact with ownership through every phase, and an addition designed specifically for your home and its era. We coordinate structural and architectural work together so the new space reads as part of the bungalow, and we're fully insured throughout construction.
Do historic-district rules affect additions in The Heights?
Often, yes. Much of The Heights sits within City of Houston historic districts, where additions visible from the public right-of-way generally require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission before a building permit is issued. Rear additions and work concealed from the street are typically less constrained, and in either case the materials, rooflines, and trim should match the home's character. We design to those guidelines and handle the submittals when they apply.
