Introducing
Simien Construction is the renovation team inside Simien Properties, a Webster, TX real estate firm. We coordinate roofing, remodels, flooring, paint, and six other trades through one point of contact, for homeowners getting ready to sell or upgrading to stay.
Before You Spend
It depends on how long you plan to live there. If you're selling within a year or two, spend on repairs and cosmetic updates that buyers notice and inspectors flag, because those recover more of their cost than large remodels. If you're staying, the math shifts toward the projects that make daily life better, even when they won't pay back dollar for dollar.
Fix what will come up in the inspection, then refresh what shows up in listing photos. Avoid layout changes and highly personal finishes.
Put the budget into the rooms you use every day and into materials that hold up to Gulf Coast humidity and storm season.
These are national averages. Results in Clear Lake and Greater Houston depend on the home, the neighborhood, and the price point, which is the part a local agent can help you judge before work starts. To see where your home might price today, try our Home Pricing Check, or read our guide to selling a home in Clear Lake City and Greater Houston.
Because Simien Properties also prices and lists homes across Clear Lake and Greater Houston, we can tell you whether a project is likely to show up in your sale price before you spend on it, then coordinate the work on the timeline your listing or move needs. Most contractors can only tell you what it will cost.
Watch: Why We Launched Simien Construction (opens in a new tab)Our Services
Ten trades across the exterior and interior of the home: roofing, framing, siding, decks, patios, tile, carpentry, remodeling, painting, and flooring. Hover, tap, or tab to a service to see what it covers.
Repairs, full replacements, and storm-damage work. Roofs take a beating on the Gulf Coast, and they're one of the first things inspectors and buyers look at.
Structural repairs, additions, wall removals, and rebuilt garages. Framing is the work nobody sees afterward, so we treat it with the most care.
Fiber-cement, wood, and trim repair or replacement, plus the sealing and flashing that keep humidity out of the walls.
New builds, board replacement, railings, and refinishing, in wood or low-maintenance composite.
Concrete, pavers, and stone, plus covered patios and grading that keeps water away from the slab.
Floors, showers, backsplashes, and fireplace surrounds, including the waterproofing underneath.
Trim, crown molding, built-ins, doors, and cabinetry adjustments. The finish details that make a room feel complete.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-room renovations, managed from scope through final walkthrough with one point of contact.
Interior and exterior painting, drywall repair, and cabinet refinishing, with prep work that holds up in Houston humidity.
Luxury vinyl plank, hardwood, tile, and carpet, including subfloor repair and leveling before anything goes down.
Recent Projects
Two whole-home projects: a Clear Lake renovation from roof to finishes, and a Pearland update to an outdated floor plan.
Clear Lake
Roof, driveway, rebuilt garage, and new interior finishes.
This exceptionally renovated Clear Lake home was truly a labor of love and really showcases what Simien Construction can do for you. From the roof and driveway to the rebuilt garage and state-of-the-art finishes, no details were overlooked. This home is a great example of the meticulous approach we take when tackling an all-encompassing project like Seagate.
Pearland
New common-area flooring, a redesigned kitchen, and a remodeled primary suite.
This Pearland project is a great example of how modern finishes and upgrades can really breathe new life into an outdated home. New flooring in the common areas, a redesigned kitchen, and a luxury-style primary suite are a few things that took this home to the next level.
How It Works
Four steps, with one point of contact from the first walkthrough to the last.
We walk the home with you and ask the deciding question first: are you selling, or staying?
You get a written scope that separates must-fix items from optional upgrades, so you can choose what fits your budget.
Our trade partners handle the work while one point of contact keeps you updated on schedule and decisions.
We review the finished work together before closeout, and line it up with your listing date if you're selling.
Planning a Renovation
Straight answers to the questions that come up at almost every first walkthrough.
Simien Construction handles home renovation and repair for homeowners in Clear Lake and Greater Houston. Services cover roofing, framing, siding, decks, patios, tile, carpentry, remodeling, painting, and flooring.
It operates inside Simien Properties, so the same firm can help you decide which projects are worth doing before a sale and then coordinate the work.
Smaller, targeted projects usually recover more than large remodels. In the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, a minor midrange kitchen remodel recouped 113% of its cost on average nationally, while a major midrange kitchen remodel recouped about 50%.
The NAR 2025 Remodeling Impact Report points the same direction: the projects Realtors most often recommend before listing are painting the entire home (50%), painting one room (41%), and new roofing (37%).
A kitchen refresh often is; a full gut remodel usually isn't, if the only goal is resale. Keep the layout, update cabinet fronts, counters, fixtures, and lighting, and you get most of the visual change at a fraction of the cost.
Bathrooms follow a similar pattern. Remodeling professionals in the NAR 2025 report estimated about 50% cost recovery for a bathroom renovation, so before a sale, fix leaks, grout, and dated fixtures rather than rebuilding the room. If you're staying, a full remodel is a quality-of-life decision rather than a resale one.
Address it if the roof is likely to be flagged in a buyer's inspection. New roofing was the third most-recommended pre-listing project among Realtors in the NAR 2025 report, at 37%.
A repair is often enough when the damage is limited. If the roof is near the end of its life, replacing it before listing can remove a common negotiating point. We can help you weigh both options against your timeline.
Yes. Simien Construction was set up for homeowners improving a home for sale and for those upgrading it for long-term living.
