Remodeling Contractor in Manor & Bastrop, TX

Manor & Bastrop, Texas

Two Different Markets on the East Side

East of Austin the housing changes character noticeably between Manor and Bastrop, and the work follows.

Manor is newer, growing quickly, and largely production-built — the same story as the other fast-growth suburbs. The work here is upgrading builder-grade finishes, replacing carpet with hard flooring, rebuilding bathrooms with real tile, and building out back yards that were delivered bare.

Bastrop is older, more established, and more varied. Historic homes near the downtown district, plus rural and acreage properties in the Lost Pines area. That variety means real remodeling: kitchens and baths in genuinely old houses, foundation-aware work, additions on acreage, and detached structures like shops, guest quarters, and studios that suburban lots simply cannot accommodate.

The acreage properties east of Austin are where we build things you cannot build in town — a detached guest house, a real workshop, a covered outdoor kitchen sized for actual gatherings.

Local requirements

Permits and Inspections for a Manor & Bastrop Remodel

Work in Manor & Bastrop is permitted by the City of Manor, the City of Bastrop, and Bastrop County — not by the City of Austin. We handle the submittal and the inspections as part of the contract.

This is the part of our service area where jurisdiction genuinely varies. Manor permits through the city. Inside Bastrop city limits, the City of Bastrop reviews the work. On acreage outside any city limits, county requirements apply instead — and they are not the same.

That distinction matters most for the projects people actually want out here: detached guest quarters, workshops, and additions. What is straightforward on unincorporated acreage can require considerably more review inside a city limit, and the reverse is sometimes true too. We confirm which set of rules governs your specific parcel before design, not after.
