What sells here03

What do people in Starr County hire us for?

RoofingA county median build year of 1987 puts most roofs well past a single shingle life. Heat above 160 degrees on the roof surface shortens that life further.Bathroom RemodelingOwner occupied homes from the 1980s usually still have the original bath. It is the smallest room that changes daily life the most, so it is the common first remodel.Kitchen RemodelingSame housing generation, same cabinets. Families who have held a house for thirty years remodel the kitchen once. The work has to be planned rather than patched.FencingOutside the city cores, property lines matter and lots are large. Spring wind from March through May takes out sections every year.Porches and PatiosShade is a utility bill decision here, not a decoration. Patio covers and carports get asked for before the interior work in most Starr County households.

Worth knowing04

What makes Starr County different

  • We are based in Rio Grande City, the county seat. Roma is fifteen minutes west, Escobares eight, La Grulla twelve and Garciasville fourteen. All of Starr County is zone 1.
  • About 66,300 people live in Starr County, and roughly 97 percent are Hispanic. Every estimate, every explanation and every walkthrough can happen in Spanish.
  • Around 72 percent of homes are owner occupied, with a median build year of 1987. People here buy a house and keep it, so the work is maintenance on a long timeline.
  • Median household income in the county is near $38,000. Price is the first question, not the last one, and we answer it in writing rather than over the phone.
  • Starr sits inland, so the salt corrosion problem that drives material choice near Port Isabel is not a factor here. Heat, hail and straight line wind are.
  • Permit requirements are not uniform across the county. A city address and an unincorporated one follow different paths, and we check yours before pricing.

Questions from Starr County

Which Starr County cities do you cover, and how far are they?

Rio Grande City is our base. Escobares is eight minutes, La Grulla twelve, Garciasville fourteen and Roma fifteen. Every one of them is zone 1, which means same day reach. County addresses between those towns are covered too, so call with your road.

Most houses here were built decades ago. What should we fix first?

The roof, almost always. With a county median build year of 1987, the covering is usually past the end of its life. Water then gets into everything downstream. Finishing a kitchen under a failing roof means paying for the kitchen twice.

Can you work with my parents in Spanish?

Yes. The measurement visit, the written estimate and the final walkthrough can all happen in Spanish. You tell us which language the household prefers. If a document has to be in English, we go through it line by line before anyone signs.
