The Heights is one of Houston's most beloved and historically significant neighborhoods. Located just northwest of downtown, The Heights is known for its tree lined streets, charming early 1900s bungalows, Victorian cottages, and craftsman style homes that give the neighborhood its distinctive character. Over the past two decades, The Heights has experienced a renaissance of renovation and new construction as families and professionals have been drawn to the neighborhood's walkability, local shops along 19th Street, and proximity to downtown Houston.

But that historic charm comes with serious property damage risks that modern suburban homes do not face. Many Heights homes are over 80 to 100 years old with original pier and beam foundations, aging plumbing that predates modern standards, knob and tube or outdated electrical wiring, and wood frame construction that is especially vulnerable to water damage and mold. Even Heights homes that have been renovated often retain original structural elements beneath updated finishes, creating hidden vulnerabilities that only become apparent when a pipe bursts, a roof leaks, or a storm pushes water under the house.

The Heights also sits in a low lying area of inner Houston that is crossed by White Oak Bayou. During heavy rainfall and hurricane events, the bayou rises and pushes floodwater into surrounding streets and homes. The neighborhood experienced significant flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and the Tax Day floods of 2016, and many Heights properties remain at elevated flood risk during every major weather event.

The combination of historic construction, aging infrastructure, and bayou proximity makes The Heights one of the most complex neighborhoods for restoration work in the entire Houston area. It requires a team that understands how to work with older materials, preserve historic character where possible, and restore properties properly without cutting corners.
