West University Place family home addition — walkable street near Rice University

West University Place

More home on a West U lot — designed, not squeezed.

Designed around your family's routine — and the school run we won't interrupt.

West University Place

The neighborhood

West University Place packs some of Houston's most valuable real estate into a 2.1-square-mile city where lots are small and families are ambitious. The challenge here is never 'more land' — it's making every square foot work: pop-top additions, reworked floor plans, and vertical design that adds room without losing the yard. Because West U is nearly built out, the honest first question is remodel or rebuild — and Bager answers it straight, in the design phase, before you're committed. The build is planned around real life: school runs, the block, the routine you can't pause.

Scope

What we build here

Second-story and pop-top additions, whole-home renovations, kitchen and bath, and space-efficient reconfigurations — with honest remodel-vs-rebuild counsel.

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

Should we remodel or tear down and rebuild in West U?
It depends on the bones and your goals. The design phase gives you the numbers before you commit either way.
Can we add a second story on our lot?
Often yes — vertical additions are common in West U. Setbacks and structure decide the envelope.
