Color and style selection begins with context — your home’s era, neighborhood trends, and architectural lines. In historic Richmond, softer neutrals like Navajo Beige or Timber Bark complement Craftsman and Victorian profiles without overwhelming original details. In newer developments like The Crossing, bolder contrasts — such as Iron Gray siding with Cobble Stone trim — create modern curb appeal. We use James Hardie® ColorPlus® Technology, which bonds color at the factory for 15-year fade resistance — critical under Texas sun. During consultation, we bring large physical samples and use Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® Visualizer to project options onto your home’s photo. We also review nearby homes (with permission) to ensure harmony — because in tight-knit Richmond neighborhoods, curb appeal is a shared value.

For a 2,200-square-foot home in Richmond — common for 1990s–2000s builds near US-90A — a full window-and-siding replacement typically takes 10 to 14 business days. Permitting with the City of Richmond averages 3–5 days for standard residential upgrades, and HOA reviews (if applicable) add 2–4 days. Window installation usually requires 3–4 days, siding 5–6 days, with safe overlap for trim and finishing. Weather delays are rare in spring and fall — our preferred seasons — and we build buffer time into schedules. Over 96% of our Richmond projects finish on time — a record enabled by local crews, pre-staged materials, and disciplined project management. We coordinate start dates around your schedule — including school breaks or work-from-home needs — to minimize disruption.

Tekton partners with trusted lenders to offer flexible, low-barrier financing tailored to Fort Bend County homeowners. Our primary program is GreenSky® — offering 12-, 24-, 36-, 48-, and 60-month terms with same-as-cash options and no prepayment penalties. For energy-efficiency upgrades — such as insulated siding or ENERGY STAR® windows — we also facilitate HERO PACE financing, which ties repayment to property taxes and transfers with the home. All applications are digital, with approvals often in under 24 hours. We never pressure financing; many clients use home equity lines or cash — but for those who prefer payments, we ensure transparent terms, no hidden fees, and no impact on your credit score during pre-qualification. Our goal is accessibility — because exceptional exteriors should be within reach for every Richmond family.

Yes — HOA coordination is a standard part of our service for applicable communities. While Richmond itself has fewer HOA-governed neighborhoods than Sugar Land or Rosenberg, developments like River’s Edge and newer subdivisions do require design review. We prepare full submittal packages — including material specs, color codes, product data sheets, and high-resolution renderings — formatted to match each HOA’s guidelines. For historic zones near Morton Street, we include preservation notes detailing how upgrades respect original character. We’ve built strong rapport with review boards across Fort Bend County, and many now fast-track Tekton submissions due to our consistent compliance and quality. If revisions are requested, we respond within 48 hours — ensuring your project moves forward without delay.

Tubular skylights (like Velux® Sun Tunnels) and traditional deck-mounted skylights serve different needs. Tubular models use a highly reflective tube to channel daylight from roof to ceiling — ideal for interior rooms like hallways, closets, or bathrooms in Richmond’s ranch-style homes — with no structural roof modification, minimal heat gain, and lower cost ($600–$1,200 installed). Traditional skylights (e.g., Velux® FS Series) are larger, glass units that require framing changes but deliver expansive views and ventilation — best for vaulted living rooms or primary suites in two-story builds. In Richmond’s hot climate, we recommend tubular units for most applications: they include UV-filtering diffusers, thermal breaks, and ENERGY STAR® certification — bringing in light without heat. For traditional skylights, we specify low-E glazing and solar-powered venting to prevent overheating. Both come with lifetime leak warranties when installed by our Velux PRO+ certified team.
