Remodeling Company in Alamo Heights, TX
Home remodeling in Alamo Heights costs between $14,000 and $130,000 depending on scope, with most kitchen and bathroom projects landing in the $9,000 – $45,000 range. The real difference here isn’t the price, it’s the house: Alamo Heights is full of 1920s – 1950s Craftsman, Tudor, and Spanish Eclectic homes with pier-and-beam foundations, original windows, and wood siding that needs a careful hand. If you’re planning a remodel, call (432) 233-0976 and we’ll walk you through a written price before anything gets touched.
Why Alamo Heights Homes Are Different
Alamo Heights remodeling work doesn’t start with a sledgehammer. It starts with a foundation inspection, because the clay soils under this city expand and contract through San Antonio’s hot, wet summers and dry winters, and mature tree roots add pressure that shifts pier-and-beam homes over decades. Contractors here call it the Clay Bowl Effect, and it means a kitchen or bathroom project often includes crawlspace shimming, floor leveling, or drainage correction before finish work can begin.
The housing stock itself demands a different approach. Homes built from the 1920s through the 1950s carry original wood windows, plaster walls, and millwork that can’t be replaced off a shelf at a big-box store. Many sit in historic districts where the review process asks for matching materials, so a remodel means custom carpentry, careful structural reinforcement, and a crew that knows the difference between a load-bearing wall and a decorative partition. Hot, humid summers also mean wood rot and stucco cracking show up in places a newer house never would. Moisture management becomes part of the job, not an afterthought.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Alamo Heights Services
When families in Alamo Heights call us, two projects come up more than anything else: kitchens and bathrooms in older homes that have outlived their original layouts, and general contracting for the structural and preservation work those projects require.
General Contractor in Alamo Heights
General contracting in Alamo Heights means coordinating the pieces most remodels uncover: foundation repair, crawlspace access, rotted sill plates, and matching historic trim. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep the project moving without treating your dining room like a staging yard. Drop cloths go down before tools come in, and a written price comes before any of it starts. For the full scope of what we manage, see our General Contractor in Alamo Heights page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Alamo Heights
Bathrooms in Alamo Heights homes are often small, built for 1940s plumbing, and sitting on floors that have shifted with the clay. A remodel here usually includes subfloor correction, updated supply lines, and waterproofing that stands up to San Antonio humidity. We’ll talk through Kohler or Moen fixtures, Schluter waterproofing, and a layout that works for kids and pets without losing the home’s character. Details are on our Bathroom Remodeling in Alamo Heights page.
Kitchen Remodeling in Alamo Heights
Kitchen remodels in Alamo Heights often mean removing walls in a 1930s floor plan, rerouting plumbing that hasn’t been touched in 70 years, and building cabinetry that fits rooms with non-square corners. We use KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria or Silestone countertops, and write the price before demolition begins. For pricing and process specific to this city, visit our Kitchen Remodeling in Alamo Heights page.

Home Remodeling in Alamo Heights
Whole-home and multi-room remodeling in Alamo Heights is shaped by two realities: the houses were built between the 1920s and 1950s, and the clay soil underneath them never stops moving. That means a larger remodel almost always starts with foundation and framing assessment, then moves into layout changes, window and exterior work, and finishes that match the original architecture. It’s the kind of project where a written price matters, because surprises in an 80-year-old house are not hypothetical. Our Home Remodeling approach puts that price in your hands before any wall comes down.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
Rooms that no longer work for how your family lives, combined with foundation movement, outdated wiring, or moisture damage in multiple areas of the home.

Whole house remodels in Alamo Heights typically run from $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, structural work, and finish level.
How we do it
We start with a foundation and framing inspection, document existing conditions, produce a written scope and price, then sequence the work so you can live in part of the house while the other part is under construction.
Home Addition
Signs you need it
You need more space but the lot, the historic district review, or your attachment to the home rules out moving.

We design the addition to match your home’s original exterior, including roofline and window style, then manage permits, foundation, framing, and finishes with the same drop cloths and clean-up standards on every day of the job.
Garage Conversion
Signs you need it
The garage stores things you don’t use, and the house needs a bedroom, office, or rental space more than it needs parking.

Garage conversions in Alamo Heights usually cost between $30,000 and $80,000 depending on insulation, bath additions, and foundation work.
How we do it
