Home Girls LLC

What Home Girls LLC does

Home Girls LLC is a privately-held, Houston-based residential design-build firm specializing in home renovations and additions. Co-founded by Brigitte Howell (Owner, Project Manager) and Haley Ottmann (Owner, Designer), the company originated as a mother-daughter team and has grown to approximately seven employees spanning design, construction management, operations, and photography/social media. The firm serves individual homeowners across the Houston metropolitan area — including Tanglewood, Houston Heights, Garden Oaks, and Houston Memorial — delivering whole home renovations, kitchen remodels, bathroom overhauls, and utility room design work.

Service delivery follows a structured 8-step design-build process beginning with a complimentary 30-minute discovery call and a $250 one-hour on-site consultation. Design services cover floor plans, elevations, electrical plans, and floor finish plans, with coordination of structural engineers; construction services span permitting and full project management. A signature "Weekly Reports" feature provides homeowners regular budget and schedule updates during active construction, positioned as a transparency and trust-building differentiator. Revenue is generated through customized professional services fees for design work plus project-based construction contracts, with construction estimates provided after Bid Day.

The company markets through a portfolio website, an interior design blog (paint colors, fixtures, rugs, countertops), and Instagram/social media, with an email newsletter signup in place. The firm has completed 36+ projects and maintains recurring collaborations with interior designers (Nancy Lane Interiors, Ali Prouty Interiors), organization specialists (Southern Sequence), furniture vendors, and multiple photographers (B. Wise, French Blue, Grace Laird, Harlow and May). Operations are confined to the Houston, Texas metro area, with no disclosed technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, patents, funding rounds, or institutional investment.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Block (formerly Block Renovation): Tech-enabled design-build platform offering managed residential renovations with a single point of accountability, transparent budgets, and dedicated project managers — directly paralleling Home Girls' value proposition but at venture-backed national scale.
• Sweeten: Tech-enabled residential renovation marketplace that matches homeowners with vetted general contractors and design-build firms. Replicates Home Girls' integrated design-build promise at scale via a platform model and represents both a competitor for homeowner attention and a potential channel.

Broad incumbents

• Decorating Den Interiors: Established national franchise network of interior designers offering design services for renovations and remodels. Adjacent to Home Girls' design work and competes for the design-discovery stage of the homeowner journey.
• Re-Bath: National bathroom-remodeling franchise with hundreds of locations, focused on bath renovations. While less integrated on full design, it competes directly for Home Girls' bathroom-overhaul projects and benefits from brand and financing scale advantages.
• Bath Fitter: National bath and shower renovation franchise with direct installation model. Competes in the bathroom-renovation segment with strong brand recognition and financing offerings — a substitute rather than a design-build peer but relevant for the bath category.
• Authority Brands (parent of Neighborly home services): Multi-brand home services platform that owns and operates franchise brands across renovation, repair, and maintenance categories. Represents the consolidated, capital-backed competitive set against which small design-build firms compete for homeowner mindshare.

Direct peers

• Mica Studio: Houston interior design and renovation firm delivering design-build services for kitchens, baths, and whole-home projects in high-end Houston neighborhoods. Closely comparable in offering, geography, and customer profile.
• Brompton House Design + Build: Houston-based residential design-build firm offering integrated design and construction for whole-home renovations and additions in premium Houston neighborhoods (West University, River Oaks, Memorial). Direct competitor on geography, service model, and target customer.
• Studio Becker / Beck/Allen Cabinetry: Premium kitchen and bath design-build firms serving affluent homeowners with custom cabinetry, design, and renovation services. Comparable in premium-segment positioning and design-led approach to kitchen and bath remodels.

Regional players

• Coyle Home Builders: Houston custom homebuilder and remodeler with a design-build orientation, focused on premium residential construction in the Houston market. Comparable in service model and geography but with a stronger custom-home focus alongside renovations.
