About
A remodeling crew, not a sales office
More than 15 years of residential work across Houston and surrounding areas. Same people on the estimate, on the job, and on the phone when you call back.
Top Rank Construction is a residential remodeling company working in Houston and the surrounding area. Cesar Martinez runs it, and the work is 100% residential — houses, not offices, not retail build-outs. That focus is deliberate. Commercial work runs on different schedules and different priorities, and it is the reason a lot of contractors go quiet on a homeowner halfway through a kitchen.
The company has been at this for more than 15 years. In practice that means having opened up most of the house types this region built: post-war ranch plans with bearing walls down the middle, 1970s and 80s subdivisions with sprayed ceilings and dark panelling, and twenty-year-old master-planned two-storeys where the builder-grade finishes have simply reached the end of their life.
What we say about a job is what we found. If a wall opens up and there is rot at the bottom plate or a supply line that should have been replaced fifteen years ago, you get a photo and a price before it gets covered back up. That is the whole approach, and it is what Cesar Martinez means by his own summary of the business:
Our main goal is to offer the best service possible.

Worth knowing before you hire anyone
Texas does not license remodelers
There is no statewide licence for a general remodeling contractor in Texas. Some individual trades inside a remodel are licensed at state level — electrical and plumbing among them — and permit-required work in those trades is carried out by the licensed tradespeople who are allowed to do it. But “licensed general contractor” is not a thing the state issues, which is why you will see it claimed loosely on a lot of Houston contractor websites.
We would rather tell you that than let a badge imply something it does not mean. What is worth asking any contractor, us included:
- Ask to see photographs of the middle of a job, not just the finished room. Ours are in the gallery and written up in projects.
- Ask who is actually doing the work, and whether permit-required electrical and plumbing goes to a licensed trade.
- Ask how change orders are handled before anything is opened up.
- Ask for current proof of insurance and see the certificate yourself, from any contractor you are considering.
