Why Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio Is Terrell Hills’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Terrell Hills homeowners tend to ask the same three questions before anyone sets foot in the house: who exactly is coming, what does it cost, and what happens if something isn’t right. We answer all three before the first tool is unpacked. Every crew member arrives in a clean marked uniform, shows a photo ID badge at the door, and you’ll already have their name and photo from us before the visit. That’s The Threshold Standard, and it’s not optional on any Mason Remodeling job.
Our written pricing covers the full scope: materials, labor, permits, and the long-lead items like custom cabinetry that other remodelers sometimes leave off the initial quote. If the final bill had a surprise on it, we haven’t done our job. And every completed project carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. Isaac Pruett, who leads our team, signs off on every Terrell Hills project personally.
We know the difference between a 1920s Spanish Eclectic on a pier-and-beam foundation and a 1950s Colonial Revival with clay tile roofing. That’s not trivia. It changes how we anchor openings, manage crawlspace moisture, and sequence the schedule. You don’t have to explain your house to us.

Home Remodeling Companies in Terrell Hills
Home Remodeling Companies in Terrell Hills don’t all work the same way, and the differences show up in how your project is priced, permitted, and scheduled. A remodel here means working within an enclave of architect-designed homes built mostly from the 1920s through the 1950s, where additions and renovations must clear strict local preservation and setback codes that don’t apply across the San Antonio line. A kitchen remodel in Terrell Hills typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, a bathroom $9,000 to $28,000, and a home addition $45,000 to $130,000. Those ranges assume professional-grade materials and the engineering work Terrell Hills’s legacy construction actually requires.
Preservation-Code Permitting
Terrell Hills enforces a 25-foot front-yard setback and design review that other San Antonio neighborhoods simply don’t have. A remodeler who hasn’t run permits here can get your project stopped at rough-in because the new dormer or addition encroaches. We’ll pull permits before work begins, coordinate with the city on your behalf, and build the inspection schedule into your written timeline.
Legacy-Wall Engineering
Many homes on streets like Garraty, Elizabeth, and Eldon have hollow clay tile structural walls. Cutting a new opening for a kitchen pass-through or wide patio door isn’t a standard frame header job. It needs adhesive anchors, epoxy-set bolts, and often a structural engineer’s sign-off. We plan for that from day one, not when the saw is already in the wall.
Whole House Remodel in Terrell Hills
A Whole House Remodel in Terrell Hills is a different animal from the same project across the city line. You’re updating a custom-built home that may have original clay tile roofing, stucco or stone exteriors, and pier-and-beam foundations. A full renovation typically starts at $45,000 and can reach $130,000 or more when it includes a second-story addition, full kitchen and bath rework, and structural upgrades. The calendar is driven less by how many hands we can put on site and more by how early we lock in the long-lead materials.
Custom Millwork and Cabinetry Lead Times
KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for a whole-home project can take 10 to 14 weeks from order to delivery. That’s the real schedule driver, not labor. We write the cabinet order into your contract in week one and place it immediately so the lead time runs parallel with demo, rough-in, and structural work.
Architect and Designer Coordination
Terrell Hills projects often involve an architect or interior designer already on the job. Our crews coordinate directly with them: matching original arch profiles, sourcing Cambria or Silestone surfaces, and ordering Kohler or Moen fixtures to spec. We’re comfortable working in homes where the details are non-negotiable.
Trusted Brands We Service in Terrell Hills
We stock and install professional-grade product lines that match the character of Terrell Hills homes: PGT impact windows for framed and masonry openings, Tamko roofing products for clay tile repairs and replacements, and Boral trim and siding materials where original wood details need sympathetic repair. Because our dispatch and scheduling run from the San Antonio office, we can pull local parts fast and keep your project moving. You’ll never hear us say we’re waiting on a supply house run across town.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Terrell Hills Homes
- Underestimated cabinetry lead times. Custom and semi-custom orders for KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets run 10 to 14 weeks. If the order isn’t placed in week one, the whole schedule slides and the homeowner gets blamed for a “labor shortage” that was actually a late purchase order.
- Cracked hollow clay tile walls from standard framing anchors. When a crew treats a Terrell Hills wall like a San Antonio stick-frame wall and hammers in lag bolts for a load-bearing header, the tile fractures. The correct fix is adhesive anchors and epoxy-set bolts, with a structural engineer’s sign-off where required.
- Setback and preservation violations caught at rough-in. Terrell Hills’s 25-foot front-yard setback isn’t a suggestion. An addition or dormer that crosses it gets flagged by the inspector, sometimes after framing is already up. We pull permits and check setbacks before any demo starts.
- Rot in pier-and-beam crawlspaces. Central Texas humidity and occasional heavy downpours push moisture into crawlspaces under older Terrell Hills homes. We inspect subfloor and joist condition as part of the original estimate so a corroded subfloor doesn’t become a mid-project change order you didn’t see coming.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Terrell Hills
Hollow clay tile walls can’t be treated like standard wood framing. Cutting a new opening for a kitchen pass-through or island sightline requires adhesive anchors and epoxy-set bolts, and a load-bearing header must be engineered for the tile’s load path. We bring in a structural engineer when the opening affects bearing walls, and the anchor method is written into your permit drawings before any demo happens. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll assess your specific wall during the free estimate.
Plan on 10 to 14 weeks for custom or semi-custom cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn, and similar windows for specialty glass and some Cambria or Silestone surfaces. That lead time runs from the day the order is placed, not the day the contract is signed. We place cabinet and finish orders in week one of your project so the clock starts immediately. If you’re thinking about a summer completion, call us by early spring to get the order locked.
Terrell Hills enforces a 25-foot front-yard setback and preservation design review that surrounding San Antonio neighborhoods don’t have. An addition or second-story dormer that approaches that line needs city approval before framing begins. We pull permits, submit plans to the city’s review process, and build inspection dates into your written schedule so the project doesn’t stop mid-rough-in.
Before we demo a bathroom, we inspect the crawlspace under it for moisture damage, rotted joists, and subfloor condition. Central Texas humidity means older Terrell Hills pier-and-beam homes sometimes hide corroded subfloor near exterior walls. We’ll show you what we find, and any subfloor repair is priced in writing before we open the wall. No verbal “we’ll figure it out later” change orders.
Yes. We work with Tamko and other roofing manufacturers to source clay tile profiles that match original 1920s-to-1950s Terrell Hills roofs, including the parapet details common on Spanish Eclectic homes. Roofing tie-in work is priced and scheduled with the addition, so the new roofline doesn’t look like an afterthought. Your written estimate includes the roofing scope line by line.
