In Texas, there is no state-level license required or offered for general remodeling contractors. This sometimes surprises homeowners, because many other states have licensing systems in place. While Texas does not issue a general contractor license, both Bryan and College Station require contractors to obtain permits for work. Stearns Design Build complies fully with all local regulations to ensure projects are properly permitted and inspected.

Because Texas does not provide a formal license for remodelers, one of the best indicators of a contractor’s professionalism is their commitment to carrying proper insurance. We go above and beyond to protect our clients by maintaining both general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance.

General liability insurance protects your home and property in the event of accidental damage. For example, if a water line bursts during construction and causes damage to your flooring, liability insurance covers the cost of repairs.

Workers’ compensation insurance protects both our team and our clients in the event of an injury on the job. If someone is injured while working on your home, workers’ compensation ensures that medical costs and lost wages are covered without putting responsibility on the homeowner.

Hiring a contractor without proper insurance can leave homeowners vulnerable to unexpected costs or even legal liability. Unfortunately, some companies try to cut corners by working without full coverage, which can create serious risks for clients.

At Stearns Design Build, we believe in doing things the right way. Our compliance with local permitting requirements, combined with full liability and workers’ compensation coverage, ensures that your project, your home, and everyone working on it are fully safeguarded. This commitment to transparency and protection is part of why so many Bryan and College Station homeowners trust us with their remodeling projects.
