River Oaks
River Oaks remodeling, built to honor the address.
Handled with the discretion your address deserves — planned to River Oaks standards, built quietly, on a fixed investment.
River Oaks
The neighborhood
River Oaks was drawn in the 1920s as Houston's first planned community — oak-lined boulevards, generous setbacks, and homes shaped by architects like John Staub. A century later, that character is protected by deed restrictions the River Oaks Property Owners still enforce: setbacks, height, materials, and the mature tree canopy. Remodeling here isn't just construction — it's stewardship. Bager works inside those standards, not around them: architecture-led planning, plans prepared for River Oaks review, and a build run quietly and on a fixed investment, so the result reads as though it always belonged.
Scope
What we build here
Whole-home renovations of historic estates, kitchen and primary-suite reworks, additions designed as secondary volumes, pool houses and outdoor rooms — all resolved on paper before demolition.

How we work
One studio, start to finish
We build the way you'd want a neighbor to build. One dedicated project manager, communication on a schedule you can plan your life around, and a client portal so you're never chasing an update. Your investment is fixed before we break ground and your workmanship is warrantied in writing — Texas licensed, insured and bonded. We run a clean, respectful site and work around your life, not through it. You don't manage us; you live your life. That's the point.
Questions
Answered plainly
- Do I need ROPO approval to remodel in River Oaks?
- Exterior changes and additions are reviewed against River Oaks deed restrictions. Bager prepares plans for that review so the process is handled, not a surprise.
- Can we remodel without removing the oaks?
- Tree preservation is central to River Oaks. Designs are shaped around the mature canopy, not against it.
