Electrical in Houston: what's different here
Houston has no zoning, so 1920s bungalows sit next to new townhomes. Expansive clay soil moves foundations, and flat slab construction means plumbing leaks often show up under the floor.
What it costs here: Foundation work and slab leak access drive big-ticket jobs here, while standard trades price close to the Texas average.
