Describe what leveling would actually change
Identify the visible uneven area and the floor covering concerned. Keep that observation separate from a proposal to change underlying components. If the contractor has not assessed those components, mark the method and hidden condition unresolved.
Ask what the proposed work would actually change: the visible surface, a preparation layer or another identified part. A short label can hide different scopes, so keep the description attached to the particular area instead of replacing it with an assumed structural explanation.
Bring the described work to the City question
Galena Park’s permits page groups flooring, painting and leveling in a short statement. That wording is not used here to determine a permit exemption or authorize an undescribed scope.
Bring the actual proposed component and extent to Permits & Inspections and ask which current requirements apply. If professional assessment changes the proposal, update the description before relying on an earlier answer. Keep an observation, an assessed condition and an agreed remedy separately identifiable.
Questions about this project
Is the word leveling enough to define a Galena Park floor-repair proposal?
No. Expand it into the component, affected area and proposed physical change. The City’s short grouped wording cannot answer a scope that has not been described.
How should observed unevenness differ from the contractor’s proposed remedy?
Record what is visibly uneven, then ask the professional to identify the proposed work and remaining assessment. Do not turn that observation into a structural diagnosis or permission claim.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
