Adding an ADU or home addition in New Territory means working with homes built mostly from the late 1980s through the 1990s – brick veneer, slab-on-grade foundations, and electrical panels that were sized for a different era. We plan every New Territory project around those realities, from 100-150 amp panels that need upgrading to clay soils that require careful drainage on a foundation. If you’re weighing a detached backyard cottage or a garage conversion, call us at (940) 242-3207 and we’ll walk through what your lot can actually support.
Why New Territory Homes Are Different
New Territory’s master-planned layout means most lots average 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, which sounds generous until you account for HOA design standards that dictate setbacks, rooflines, and even exterior finishes. Setback rules (the required gap between your new structure and the property line) in a master-planned community like New Territory can be stricter than unincorporated parts of the county, so an ADU that fits easily on one lot may need a variance on the next street over.
The original 1990s brick veneer homes in New Territory often hide a couple of costly surprises. First, many still run on 100-150 amp electrical panels. A one-bedroom ADU with a mini-split, a small kitchenette, and a water heater will typically require a service upgrade before the first wall goes up. Second, the standard 4-inch concrete slabs are fine for a single-story addition but generally need reinforcement for a two-story ADU. And because Houston’s clay soils expand and contract with moisture, we specify moisture barriers and proper drainage on every New Territory foundation we pour – that’s the difference between a slab that holds and one that heaves after two wet summers. Houston’s heat shapes the HVAC plan too; an undercooled ADU in August is a problem you feel within a day of moving in.
Our Main New Territory Services
These are the three projects New Territory homeowners ask us about most. Each has its own page with local pricing and specifics.
Home Addition Contractor in New Territory
A Home Addition Contractor in New Territory has to work within HOA exterior requirements while tying into a roof that was framed in the 1990s. Many New Territory additions we handle are ground-floor expansions off the back or side of the home, and the brick veneer exterior usually means matching brick or choosing an approved contrast material. The shallow slab foundations common in New Territory need a geotechnical check before we frame anything beyond a modest bump-out. We handle the HOA submittal package from the start, so you’re not guessing what the review board will accept.
ADU Builders in New Territory
Detached ADUs are the fastest-growing request we see in New Territory, largely because the big lots can hold a 500-900 square foot cottage without crowding the yard. As ADU Builders in New Territory, we plan for the two things that stall these projects locally: the electrical panel upgrade and the drainage under the new slab. We also bring working familiarity with prefab and panelized ADU lines, which can shorten on-site construction time compared to stick-built framing, a real advantage when HOA review adds weeks to the front end.
Room Addition Contractor in New Territory
A Room Addition Contractor in New Territory is often the answer when a family needs one more bedroom or a home office without changing the house’s footprint much. In New Territory, the constraint is usually the existing slab and roof plane. Hipped roofs from the 1990s don’t always tie into a new ridgeline cleanly, so we adjust the framing approach per house. The HOA also cares about window placement and exterior sight lines more than most homeowners expect – we handle that paperwork before permitting starts.

What pushes a New Territory ADU toward the top of these ranges is usually a two-story design on an original 4-inch slab, drainage corrections on clay-heavy ground, and an electrical service upgrade that expands as soon as the load calculation is done. The written price we give you before any work starts includes those items, so the number on the quote is the number you plan against.

FAQs About ADU Company in New Territory
After a site visit and written estimate, we can typically begin design and HOA submittal work within a week or two of a signed agreement. Construction start dates depend on HOA review and permitting times, which vary across New Territory’s sections. Call (940) 242-3207 to get a real schedule for your lot.
Yes. New Territory is a master-planned community with active HOA design standards, so exterior changes including ADUs and additions require a design-review submittal before the city will consider permitting. We prepare that package as part of the estimate, so you’re not handling HOA paperwork alone.
Most homes built in New Territory in the late 1980s and 1990s have 100-150 amp panels, which are usually not enough for an ADU with a mini-split and kitchenette. A 200-amp upgrade and a subpanel typically run $3,000-$5,000, and we confirm the exact need with a load calculation before pricing. Call (940) 242-3207 for an exact number.

- Lucia P."Garage conversion into a studio. They framed the insulation, added a mini split, and matched the siding. Inspectors passed everything on the first visit."
- Andrew K."Detached unit with a small kitchen and bath. Windows and finishes were nicer than I expected for the budget."
