A refresh remodel addresses surface wear—replacing the vanity, updating fixtures, repainting walls—and runs start to finish in five to seven working days with minimal disruption. A full build remodel tears out the existing tub, shower, walls and subfloor, rough in new plumbing and electrical, and rebuild everything from the studs forward; this takes three to five weeks depending on tile complexity and whether we're relocating the water closet or adding a tile niche.
Many homeowners in this area choose a phased approach, starting with a guest bathroom renovation to test the contractor and design choices, then committing to a master bathroom remodel once they see the quality and process firsthand. Bathroom remodel cost in Alamo Heights depends on scope: refresh remodels run lower because you keep the layout; full build remodels cost more due to demo, rough-in, and subfloor work. Spa builds add freestanding tubs and heated floors. We give fixed-price bids after measuring and understanding your finish level and do not ask you to absorb cost overruns from decisions made during demo.

A walk-in conversion starts by removing the old tub surround and reframing the curb to a 2–4 inch height for easy entry. We re-slope the subfloor at 1/4 inch per foot toward the drain to ensure water reaches the weep holes and does not pool. Frameless glass enclosures use 3/8 inch tempered glass panels held with aluminum channel or stainless clips, creating an open-air feel while containing spray. The process takes three to four weeks and includes a new drain system and waterproofing membrane.

The design-build approach means you get a single point of contact from estimate through final inspection. We meet with you, measure the space, discuss finishes and layout, then produce a fixed-price bid that covers labor, materials, and all permits. Refresh remodels work best when the existing layout suits your needs—you're happy with where the toilet and sink are, you just want new surfaces and fixtures. Full build remodels let you relocate the water closet, enlarge the shower, move the vanity to catch better light, or split a master bathroom into two separate zones.

Most homes in Alamo Heights date to the 1920s through 1950s, clustered near Olmos Park and around the older blocks adjacent to Terrell Hills. These properties often have plaster-and-lath walls, floor joists sized for the loads of that era, and undersized subfloors that need reinforcement before we lay heavy tile. When we open a wall, we inspect the framing and upgrade the substructure if needed—this prevents movement, cracks, and future leaks.
San Antonio's humid climate demands aggressive moisture control. A humidity sensor fan set to trigger at 55–60% relative humidity will run automatically when showers create steam, protecting original woodwork and preventing mildew in old plaster. Historic home bathroom preservation means respecting the original bones while adding modern waterproofing and venting. We do not rip out walls carelessly; we expose, assess, reinforce where required, and close back up tight.

Schluter waterproofing membrane and Wedi systems are the industry standard for floor-to-ceiling tile showers in humid climates. Both apply over cement board with fleece-bonded seams and create a continuous moisture barrier before tile is set. Green board alone does not stop water intrusion behind shower surrounds; we use a dedicated waterproofing membrane like Schluter or Wedi over the cement board, with seams sealed before the first tile course goes down.

Quartz vanity tops eliminate the sealing and maintenance burden of natural stone. Quartz is non-porous, resists staining, and never needs annual sealing. A double vanity layout needs 60–72 inches of counter run with dedicated task lighting over each sink so you are not working in shadow during the morning routine. LED lighting rated for damp-location use must sit at least 3 feet from the shower enclosure. Wet-location rated fixtures go inside the shower itself. Layered lighting—vanity strips, mirror sconces, and ceiling fixtures—prevents dark corners and makes the bathroom feel larger.

Plumbing and electrical permits are required whenever you move fixtures, add a new water closet, or change vent stack routing. The permit holder schedules a rough-in inspection before walls close, then a final inspection after fixtures are set. This process typically adds two to three weeks to the overall schedule, but it protects you and ensures the work meets Bexar County code. A typical remodel timeline runs: demo and rough-in (one week), waterproofing and tile work (two weeks), fixture set and finish (one week), punch list and final inspection (two to three days).

Many homeowners in Alamo Heights who are updating a master bathroom or guest bathroom realize their kitchen is due for the same level of attention. We handle kitchen remodeling alongside bathroom work, so you can coordinate the project timeline and financing. The same crew that waterproofs your shower can install new cabinetry, countertops, and backsplash tile in your kitchen without switching contractors.

Tile installation and replacement is core to what we do, whether it's bathroom walls, shower surrounds, kitchen backsplash, or flooring. Alamo Heights homes deal with Texas heat and humidity year-round, so tile has to be set correctly or it fails fast. We use the right mortar for the application, trowel at the correct angle to get full coverage behind each tile, and manage grout joints so water doesn't pool and freeze in winter or promote mold growth.
