All FAQs
How much does it cost to build a custom home in San Antonio?
Custom home costs typically range from $200–$350+ per square foot, depending on size, finishes, site conditions, and customization level. We provide detailed, line-item estimates so you know exactly where your investment goes.
Do you handle permits for home additions and remodels?
Yes — 100%. We manage all permitting, engineering, and HOA approvals for additions, garage conversions, and remodels in San Antonio and Bexar County, including scheduling inspections and code compliance.
How long does a typical home remodel take?
Kitchen remodels run 6–10 weeks, bathroom remodels 3–5 weeks, and whole-home renovations 3–6 months. We provide a detailed timeline at consultation and keep you updated throughout.
What's the difference between a garage conversion and an ADU?
A garage conversion turns your existing garage into livable space, like a home office or gym. An ADU is a fully contained unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area — ideal for rental income or multigenerational living. We build both.
