SERVICES
Services Done Right Houston Provides in Briar Forest
Here is what we handle for Briar Forest residents, from the original single-family homes to the apartments and condos near the Energy Corridor.
Electrical Services in Briar Forest
Homes in Briargrove Park and Walnut Bend were wired for 1970s electrical demand, which means today’s owners run into outdated outlets, underpowered circuits, and fixtures that need updating as part of a renovation.
Done Right Houston checks the wiring and ceiling box rating before installing anything new, so a ceiling fan or light fixture goes in safely and stays put.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Box rating check and balanced installation in 1970s ranch and traditional homes.
Light Fixture Installation
Fixture swaps and upgrades in kitchens and living rooms being refreshed.
Outlet & Switch Upgrade
Grounding original outlets and adding switches that match a renovated space.
TV Mounting in Briar Forest
Apartments and condos make up a large share of Briar Forest alongside the original ranch homes in Briargrove Park and Walnut Bend. Both need a clean mount, but the wall type is different every time.
Done Right Houston mounts TVs on drywall, brick, and apartment walls with in-wall wire concealment where the wall type allows it.

LOCAL HOUSING CONTEXT
The Briar Forest Housing Stock
Briar Forest developed through the 1960s and 70s as Houston’s westward growth turned old cattle land into bedroom communities. Briargrove Park, between Gessner and Beltway 8, holds about 1,500 well-kept homes from that era. Walnut Bend and Lakeside Place followed in the 1970s with wooded lots near Lakeside Country Club. These are mostly one-story brick ranch and traditional homes on slab foundations, built fast and built well for their time, and now needing the kind of attention that comes with 50 to 60 years of use.
The Energy Corridor sits right next to Briar Forest, and a large share of residents work there or at the office campuses along Westheimer and the Sam Houston Tollway. That brings a steady stream of young professionals into the area, many of them renovating older homes for the price and the commute rather than buying new.

WHY DONE RIGHT Houston
Why Done Right Fits Briar Forest

Our 25 years of Houston construction background, including over 400 homes built and delivered, means we understand slab construction and the way these original 1960s and 70s homes age. When something needs fixing in a Briar Forest ranch home, we diagnose the actual cause instead of patching the symptom.
