Home project estimates and local pros in Georgetown.
Plan a Georgetown home project: permits, historic-district review, heritage trees and HOA rules, plus real-time estimates for supported work and local pros.
Direct answer
Can Completa help with a home project in Georgetown?
Yes, where matching is available. Completa takes home-project requests from Georgetown addresses in ZIP codes 78626, 78628 and 78633. Describe the work in the app, get a real-time estimate for supported jobs, and match with local pros who review the scope and confirm the price before work begins, then manage the accepted project in the same app. The City of Georgetown still decides permits, and work in the Downtown or Old Town historic overlays can need its own approval first.

Where requests come from
ZIP codes for Georgetown addresses.
Completa takes requests by project address. The ZIP code helps place the address, but the exact address, not the ZIP, decides which city or county reviews permits and which rules apply.
ZIP code
78626
Includes Downtown Georgetown. Exterior work inside the Downtown or Old Town overlay can need a Certificate of Appropriateness before the building permit.
ZIP code
78628
Census places about 50 sq km of Georgetown's city land in 78628. Addresses near the edge of the city can be outside city limits, where different permit rules apply.
ZIP code
78633
Census places about 45 sq km of Georgetown's city land in 78633. As anywhere in the city, the subdivision plat can cap roofed and paved area per lot.
Local planning context
What to verify around Georgetown.
Georgetown's Building Permits and Inspections office reviews more everyday work than many homeowners expect: re-roofs inside city limits, new fences and fence repairs past a third of the fence face, water heaters, HVAC change-outs, electrical work, decks, driveways and siding, all applied for through MGO Connect. Inside the Downtown and Old Town overlay districts, exterior changes, fences and even a new roofing material can need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Officer or the Historic and Architectural Review Commission before the building permit. Parts of the city sit over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, and many subdivision plats cap roofed and paved area per lot.
How your project works
From your idea to an agreed plan.
Describe the work, review an estimate, and choose a local pro where matching is available. Your contractor checks the project before you both agree to the work and price.
01 · Describe
Tell us what you need.
Describe what to include, the condition of the area, materials, and access. Take photos only where it is safe. Mark unknowns instead of guessing. Your request still needs a contractor’s review.
02 · Estimate
See an estimate or get a closer look.
The estimate shows what work and assumptions it covers. Hidden conditions, diagnosis, structural or regulated work, safety concerns, uncertain access, or missing measurements require an on-site review before price confirmation.
03 · Choose a pro
Find the right fit for your project.
You decide whether to proceed. Your chosen pro reviews the work and can confirm, clarify, revise, or decline the proposed scope and price before you agree.
04 · Agree and begin
Keep the agreed plan in one place.
The initial estimate is not automatically the accepted job. Keep the agreed stages, approved changes, messages, payments, and completion photos together in Completa.
When an on-site review is needed
Some details need a visit.
A professional checks conditions that photos or measurements cannot safely confirm. The review helps define the work; it does not guarantee acceptance or a particular price. Unknown work must be reviewed before it is priced.
No submitted estimate becomes accepted work until a professional reviews the project and both sides agree to the scope, price, and terms.
Build a contractor-ready request
Make the unknowns visible before anyone commits.
These city-specific steps organize the address, scope, access, approvals, and field conditions that a professional needs to review. They do not replace an inspection or an authority's decision.
01
Check for a historic overlay
If the address is in the Downtown or Old Town overlay, plan time for a Certificate of Appropriateness. A commission-level review needs a public hearing, and the building permit comes after it.
02
Measure trees and paved area
Note any large oak or bald cypress near the work: listed species 26 inches across or wider are Heritage Trees, and work on them needs a Texas-registered arborist. Check the plat's impervious-cover cap before adding a patio, pool or driveway.
03
Name the utility and the fence line
Most Georgetown homes get power from the city's own electric utility, but some are on Oncor or PEC. Front-yard fences top out at 4 feet and half open; side and rear fences at 6 feet.

Questions people ask
Clear answers for Georgetown projects.
- Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Georgetown?
- Inside city limits, yes. Georgetown requires a permit for a new roof or re-roof, and roofers register with the city in MGO Connect. In the Downtown or Old Town overlays, changing the roofing material can also need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
- Can a roofer pay my insurance deductible?
- No. Texas law makes it illegal for a roofer to waive or rebate a deductible, and Georgetown's roofing page repeats that warning, along with a note that permit times run longer after hail storms.
- Who can replace my water heater?
- A plumber holding a Texas plumbing license, or the owner who lives in the home under the city's homestead permit. Either way the replacement needs a permit and an inspection.
- Which ZIP codes does this Georgetown guide cover?
- 78626, 78628 and 78633, where Census places almost all of Georgetown's city land. 78627 is a PO-box ZIP. The exact address, not the ZIP, decides whether city or county rules apply.
