Frequently Asked Questions - H & R Construction

At H & R Construction, we know that building or remodeling a home can raise a lot of questions. With over 35 years of construction experience in Yoakum, TX and surrounding areas, we're here to make the process simple and stress-free. Below, you'll find answers to the questions Texas homeowners ask us most often.

What services does H & R Construction offer?

We provide a full range of residential construction services, including:

  • Custom home building
  • Home renovations and room additions
  • Siding and window installation or replacement
  • Metal and shingle roofing installation and replacement

We handle every phase of the project, from design to final inspection.

Do you build custom homes from scratch?

Absolutely. We specialize in custom home construction, including barndominiums, traditional homes, and modern designs. Every home is built around your vision, budget, and property layout - no cookie-cutter plans here.

What's the difference between a renovation and a remodel?

A renovation updates or repairs existing features - like new siding, windows, or flooring.
A remodel changes the layout or structure of your home, such as expanding rooms, removing walls, or adding a new section. H & R Construction can help with both, depending on your goals.

How do I know if I need a new roof?

You might need a roof replacement if you notice leaks, missing shingles, sagging areas, or high energy bills. Texas weather can be tough on roofs - especially with heat, storms, and hail. We offer both metal and shingle roofing options to fit your home's needs and style.

Can you help make my home more energy efficient?

Yes, we can. Replacing old siding and windows can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. Our energy-efficient materials help keep your home comfortable all year long while improving curb appeal.

What is a barndominium, and do you build them?

A barndominium is a combination of a barn and a modern living space - spacious, durable, and cost-effective. They're popular in Texas for their open layouts and rustic charm. H & R Construction designs and builds barndominiums that fit your lifestyle and land.

How long does a typical home renovation take?

Project timelines depend on the size and scope of work. Small renovations might take a few weeks, while full home remodels or new builds can take several months. We'll give you a clear timeline up front and keep you informed every step of the way.

Why should I choose H & R Construction?

Because we're not just builders - we're craftsmen who care about every detail. With 35+ years of experience, we deliver high-quality construction, clear communication, and results that reflect your personality and needs. We believe every home should be as unique as the people who live in it.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Texas?

The cost of a custom home in Texas depends on the size, materials, and finishes you choose. On average, new home construction in South Texas ranges from $150-$250 per square foot, but H & R Construction can create a personalized estimate based on your goals and budget.

What's the best roofing material for Texas homes?

In South Texas, metal roofing is a popular choice for its durability and energy efficiency. It reflects sunlight, resists hail and wind, and lasts decades. Shingle roofs are also great for budget-friendly installations and come in many color options. We'll help you choose the right material for your home and budget.
