Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Boerne
General contracting in Boerne means something different than it does in San Antonio or Converse. The limestone is closer to the surface, the HOAs are stricter, and the builder-grade finishes in newer subdivisions start showing their age around year five or six. If you’re in Esperanza, Balcones Creek, Front Gate, or out on acreage near Waring, you need a General Contractor who has actually dug into Boerne soil and dealt with the architectural review boards. We have. Call (254) 269-5071 and you’ll get Isaac Pruett or another live person who knows this area, not a call tree.
Why Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio Is Boerne’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Mason Remodeling has been building and remodeling since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family. When we started taking on General Contractor in Boerne work, the first thing we learned was that the limestone doesn’t care what your schedule says. It cares what your rock saw can handle. Homeowners in Boerne call us because we show up when we say we will, with a crew whose names and photos you get before they arrive. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and carries a photo ID badge at your door. That’s the Threshold Standard, and we don’t bend it for any job.
We don’t ask you to trust us on faith. You get a written price before any work begins, on every project, every time. If something goes wrong within 365 days of completion, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right at no cost to you. That’s not a promotional line. That’s the contract.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Boerne
A remodeling contractor in Boerne handles the work homeowners actually feel every day: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, countertops, and the wall or two you’d like to move. In Boerne’s newer master-planned communities, most of this work starts around years five through eight of home ownership, when builder-grade laminate counters scratch, cabinet doors sag, and the original carpet has lived its life. In older homes near downtown Boerne, the work is different – it’s about preserving limestone walls and working around 1940s floor plans that weren’t built for open kitchens.
Typical first upgrades in Boerne run from about $9,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen, $5,000 to $12,000 for a small bathroom, and $2,000 to $6,500 to replace countertops. Those aren’t national averages. Those are Boerne numbers, calibrated for local labor rates and the reality that some of these jobs include rock work.
Warranty-Safe Kitchen Updates
Most Boerne homes built in the last 10-15 years still carry a portion of their structural warranty. You don’t void that by swapping counters or refacing cabinets. You do risk it by cutting into load-bearing walls or moving plumbing rough-ins without a licensed general contractor signing off. We map every wall and every beam before we cut, and we document the changes in writing so your warranty stays intact.
HOA-Ready Bathroom Work
Boerne HOAs in communities like Esperanza and Front Gate review exterior-visible changes. A bathroom exhaust vent relocation or a window swap can trigger a 30-day architectural review. We sequence that review early, run the interior work while the HOA committee does its reading, and finish on schedule. That sequence is the difference between a two-month bathroom and a four-month one.
Licensed General Contractor in Boerne
A licensed general contractor in Boerne does more than finish work. This is the person who pulls permits, manages structural changes, schedules inspections, and signs off on work that affects your home’s bones. If you’re adding a room, converting a garage, removing a wall between kitchen and living room, or building a patio cover that ties into the house, you need the license and the liability umbrella that comes with it. You also need someone who understands Boerne’s permitting office and the Kendall County process, because nothing stalls a job faster than a permit package filed with the wrong language.
Structural work in Boerne costs more than in flat-soil towns. A home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000, and a paver patio installation typically lands between $3,500 and $11,000. The range exists because some lots have 18 inches of topsoil and some have solid limestone shelves at 18 inches. We can’t know which you have until we test, but we can tell you that the test happens before we commit to a price, not after.
Foundation and Addition Sequencing
When we bid a foundation or addition in Boerne, we factor rock sawing, haul-off, and pier drilling into the written price on day one. Underestimating that excavation is the single most common reason bids blow their timeline and their allowance. We’d rather tell you the truth up front than surprise you with a change order in week three.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Removing a load-bearing wall means installing a beam, often an engineered LVL or steel header, and that means an engineer’s stamp and a city inspection. We handle both. You get the open floor plan without the sagging ridge line or the voided warranty.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
We stock and install specification-grade materials from brands like Cambria, KraftMaid, Kohler, and Moen, and we keep common replacement parts for Boerne jobs in our local supply chain, not a warehouse two states away. For exterior work, we often specify PGT impact windows and Atlas or Tamko roofing products because they hold up to Hill Country hail and the July sun without fading or warping. You won’t get a list of generic options from us. You’ll get a recommendation tied to what the Boerne climate actually does to materials.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Limestone excavation blowouts. In the Esperanza subdivision, we converted a 2019 builder kitchen and had to drill through 18 inches of solid limestone for the new island’s plumbing rough-in. A bidder who doesn’t test soil before pricing will either lose money or hit you with a change order mid-job. We test first.
- Builder warranty voids. We see too many homeowners who let a handyman move a wall or a plumber relocate a drain without pulling the structural permit. The work gets done, the warranty dies, and the city inspection never happens. A licensed general contractor is the insurance policy against that.
- HOA stop-work orders. Boerne HOAs don’t issue warnings for exterior-visible changes made without architectural review. They issue stop-work orders and forced revisions. We’ve never had a job stopped because we file the review before the first hammer swings.
- Drainage mistakes on rocky lots. Steep Boerne lots with thin soil cover don’t drain like flat San Antonio yards. A patio or addition that ignores drainage sends water toward the foundation. We design for flash flood realities, not for the pretty rendering.

FAQs About General Contractor in Boerne
Cosmetic work like countertops, backsplash, flooring, and cabinet refacing won’t touch your structural warranty. Cutting into load-bearing walls, moving plumbing rough-ins, or altering the roofline will, unless the work is done under a licensed general contractor’s permit. In Boerne, we pull the structural permit, document every change, and file the inspection records so your warranty stays valid. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll walk your specific project through the warranty checklist before anything gets cut.
A kitchen remodel in a Boerne master-planned community typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. The range widens when the job includes moving plumbing through limestone, adding an island with a sink or cooktop, or replacing load-bearing walls. Homes in Esperanza, Front Gate, and Balcones Creek often sit on shallow rock, and drilling for a new island drain can add days to the schedule before a single cabinet goes in.
We file the architectural review request the same week we sign the contract, before any exterior-visible work begins. That includes window changes, vent relocations, patio covers, and any exterior material change. Boerne HOAs typically take 14 to 30 days to respond, so we sequence the interior work during that window and keep the job moving. We’ve never had a stop-work order on a job where the review was filed on time.
Yes, with additional permitting and drainage requirements. Homes in the recharge zone still need a licensed general contractor who understands impervious cover limits and water-quality buffers, and your addition’s footprint may be restricted depending on your lot’s existing coverage. We pull those permits and design the drainage so your addition doesn’t send runoff toward your well or your neighbor’s spring. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll tell you what’s buildable on your specific lot.
Kitchen countertops are almost always first. Builder-grade laminate wears fast, stains easily, and looks tired within five years. Replacing it with Cambria or Silestone quartz in Boerne runs $2,000 to $6,500, and it’s the single best return you’ll get per dollar in a newer home. It’s worth doing before you remodel the full kitchen, because the counters last 20 years and you don’t want to replace them twice.
Whether you’re in a 2019 build in Esperanza needing its first real remodel, or a limestone home near Main Street that needs structural care, get the written price before the first tool is unpacked. Call (254) 269-5071 for your free estimate. Isaac Pruett or another Boerne-area coordinator will answer, and you’ll know exactly who’s coming and what it costs.
