You need to get the element within the hovered element, either you can specify context with jQuery or use find() method.

$('.welcomediv').hover(function() {
    $(this).addClass('col-1hover');
    $('.wh4', this).addClass('col-1-texhover');
    // -----^^^^^----- here or $(this).find('.wh4')
  },
  function() {
    $(this).removeClass('col-1hover');
    $('.wh4', this).removeClass('col-1-texhover');
  });

 $('.welcomediv').hover(function() { $(this).addClass('col-1hover'); $('.wh4', this).addClass('col-1-texhover'); }, function() { $(this).removeClass('col-1hover'); $('.wh4', this).removeClass('col-1-texhover'); });

 .col-1-texhover { color: #f7b72f; }.col-1hover { border: solid 1px #f7b72f; }

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="layout"> <div class="col-1 welcomediv"> <img src="images/electricalinstallation.png" class=" img-responsive" alt="Image"> <div class="col-1-text"> <div class="wh4"> <h4>My head 1</h4> </div> <center> <hr class="col-1-hr"> </center> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Ut tempore asperiores veniam ex laborum, repellendus perspiciatis itaque at deleniti esse nostrum facere eveniet reiciendis.

You can do the same thing with pure CSS as well using :hover selector .

 .welcomediv:hover.wh4 { color: #f7b72f; }.welcomediv:hover { border: 1px solid #f7b72f; }

 .welcomediv:hover.wh4 { color: #f7b72f; }.welcomediv:hover { border: 1px solid #f7b72f; }

 <div class="layout"> <div class="col-1 welcomediv"> <img src="images/electricalinstallation.png" class=" img-responsive" alt="Image"> <div class="col-1-text"> <div class="wh4"> <h4>My head 1</h4> </div> <center> <hr class="col-1-hr"> </center> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Ut tempore asperiores veniam ex laborum, repellendus perspiciatis itaque at deleniti esse nostrum facere eveniet reiciendis. Nulla veniam ea culpa repellat odio.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-1 welcomediv"> <div class="col-1-text"> <div class="wh4"> <h4>My head 2</h4> </div> <center> <hr class="col-1-hr"> </center> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit, Ut tempore asperiores veniam ex laborum. repellendus perspiciatis itaque at deleniti esse nostrum facere eveniet reiciendis. Nulla veniam ea culpa repellat odio.</p> </div> <img src="images/Transformer_Installation.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="Image"> </div> <div class="col-1 welcomediv"> <img src="images/House-Wiring,jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="Image"> <div class="col-1-text"> <div class="wh4"> <h4>My head 3</h4> </div> <center> <hr class="col-1-hr"> </center> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Ut tempore asperiores veniam ex laborum, repellendus perspiciatis itaque at deleniti esse nostrum facere eveniet reiciendis! Nulla veniam ea culpa repellat odio.</p> </div> </div> </div>
