Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom in San Antonio?

Yes. If the remodel involves moving plumbing fixtures, altering electrical circuits, or making structural changes, the City of San Antonio requires permits. As fully licensed Texas builders, we handle the entire permitting and municipal inspection process for you.

How long does a custom bathroom renovation take?

A standard high-quality master bathroom gut-remodel typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. This precise timeline accounts for demolition, structural updates, advanced waterproofing curing times, custom tile setting, and final fixture installation.

What is the best way to prevent mold in a new shower?

We utilize advanced, behind-the-wall waterproofing systems rather than traditional, porous drywall methods. Combined with high-CFM, properly vented exhaust fans, we ensure your new bathroom manages moisture efficiently and prevents mold growth.

Can you convert my standard tub into a large walk-in shower?

Absolutely. Tub-to-shower conversions are highly requested in areas like Stone Oak and Alamo Heights. We professionally re-slope the floor, update the drain lines, and install custom frameless glass enclosures to modernize the space completely.

Frequently Asked Questions About San Antonio ADUs & Casitas

What is the difference between a home addition and an ADU?

A home addition expands the footprint of your existing house. An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), commonly called a casita or guest house, is a completely standalone, detached structure on your property with its own entrance, bathroom, and living area.

Do I need a permit to build an ADU in San Antonio?

Yes. Building a detached ADU requires strict adherence to San Antonio zoning laws, setback requirements, and building codes. As your licensed general contractor, we manage all architectural blueprints, municipal permitting, and city inspections.

How do plumbing and electricity work for a detached casita?

During the initial construction phase, we perform utility trenching. This involves digging safe, code-compliant pathways to connect the casita's new plumbing lines and heavy-duty electrical circuits directly to your main home's existing utility grid.

Will the new casita match my existing house?

Absolutely. Seamless architectural integration is our standard. We meticulously source premium materials to ensure the new casita's exterior masonry, stucco, roofing shingles, and paint profiles match your primary residence flawlessly.

How long does it take to build a custom casita?

Because an ADU is essentially a new home build, the timeline is typically 1 to 5 months. This accounts for site grading, foundation pouring, framing, utility trenching, interior finishing, and required municipal inspections.

Do I need to have my own architectural plans before contacting you?

No, you do not. While we are happy to work with your existing blueprints, we offer a comprehensive design-build experience. From initial concept to securing the necessary local permits, our team guides you every step of the way.
