Do you need a painter, handyman, plumber for a Sugar Land remodeling & repair job? Here’s a list of local vendors that you may need during your home purchase or sale. But remember…things change! Always check the Houston BBB (Better Business Bureau) before you hire a vendor. Sheila Cox does not endorse any of these vendors and does not have personal experience with all of them.
Also use Angie’s List for more vendors.

Estimating Remodeling Jobs
In addition, we have many great homes in the Sugar Land area, but some of them may need your personal touch. It’s difficult to estimate these costs ahead of time or to know who to hire. I can help by estimating costs and by recommending local contractors who provide good quality service at reasonable prices. Plus, since I have remodeled many homes myself, I can help answer questions that you may have and get you going in the right direction.
If the home inspector noted some repair that you will need to make after the sell, or if you know there are some remodeling items that you want to do to the home, then you can use this worksheet to estimate those costs.
