Selma is not the railroad stop it was thirty years ago. It’s a full-fledged Northeast San Antonio suburb where 2000s-era brick veneer homes sit beside new townhome developments and I-35 corridor commercial build-outs. That mix changes how a contractor approaches everything from kitchen remodels to room additions. Our crews know the Lookout Road subdivisions, the master-planned communities off Evans Road, and the older pockets near Cibolo Creek where clay soil movement shows up in door frames and slab lines. We schedule work around the city’s actual permit clock, not a generic timeline.
Why Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio Is Selma’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Selma homeowners tell us the same thing in every initial conversation: they want to know exactly who is coming to their door and what the job will cost before they commit. We lead with both. Every crew member who steps onto a Selma property is background-checked, identity-verified, and in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge. Before the visit, you get the technician’s name and photo sent to you. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it applies to every job we run, from a $900 cabinet repair to a $130,000 home addition.
Our General Contractor team has worked on Selma homes long enough to anticipate what trips up outside contractors: HOA color palettes, impervious cover worksheets, and the weather windows that matter here. Written pricing is not a favor we do when asked – it’s how every project starts. You’ll get a line-item price before any work begins, and that price does not drift up as the job progresses unless you change the scope.
Isaac Pruett leads our Selma work personally. He reviews every permit package before it goes to the city, and he walks Selma job sites regularly to make sure the schedule matches what we promised. When a homeowner calls with a question mid-project, they get a person, not a voicemail tree. That’s true 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Selma
A Licensed General Contractor in Selma handles structural work, additions, and whole-home remodels that require city permits and architectural review. This is the contractor you call for a home addition, a garage conversion, a second-story build, or any remodel that moves walls, changes rooflines, or expands your footprint. Selma’s permit process adds a planning layer that San Antonio contractors often underestimate, so having a contractor who files the right paperwork the first time matters on both cost and timeline.
Permit-Ready Submittals
Selma’s review typically requires a site plan showing impervious cover and drainage calculations before any structural or exterior work is approved. Budget an extra 7 – 10 business days for planning approval before your permit is issued. We build that buffer into every Selma timeline we quote, so your project does not sit half-finished waiting on a committee.
Whole-Home and Structural Scope
Home additions in Selma run $45,000 – $130,000. Garage conversions run $30,000 – $80,000. These are the jobs where the written price matters most, because change orders on structural work get expensive fast. We lock the scope and the number before we pull the permit, and we file the architectural review package as part of the same process, not as an afterthought.
Residential General Contractor in Selma
A Residential General Contractor in Selma handles interior remodels – kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and room reconfigurations – that don’t necessarily add square footage but still transform how your home works. Most Selma homes built in the 2000s are hitting the age where kitchens and primary bathrooms need real attention: cabinet boxes are failing, shower pans are leaking, and floor plans don’t match how families live now. These projects run the full range, but the most common scopes we quote are kitchens at $14,000 – $45,000 and bathrooms at $9,000 – $28,000.
Interior Remodels Without the Surprise
When we open a Selma kitchen wall, we’re sometimes the first contractor to see what’s back there since the home was built. In one 2008 brick-veneer home off Lookout Road, expansive clay movement had cracked the subfloor and pulled the cabinets away from the wall. Our crew re-leveled the rough-in, sistered the joists, and reset the island per the approved scope of work – then routed the final inspection sign-off through the HOA’s exterior-mods checklist before the client scheduled their countertop template. That is the kind of complication you want a contractor to catch before, not after, the cabinets go in.
Small Scopes, Same Standard
Not every Selma project is a six-figure addition. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 – $13,000, countertop installation $2,000 – $6,500, and backsplash work $800 – $2,500. These smaller jobs get the same written price, the same verified crew, and the same year-long guarantee as a full remodel. We don’t downgrade the process because the dollar amount is lower.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
Selma homeowners should be able to pick from real, specification-grade brands – not whatever a contractor has left in the warehouse. We work with PGT impact-rated windows when a Selma homeowner wants storm protection on a west-facing wall, CGI windows and doors on higher-end builds, and Tamko roofing products on re-roofs where hail resistance matters. Because we coordinate directly with these manufacturers, Selma customers get accurate lead times and factory-backed warranties without chasing down a distributor. When a spring hail storm comes through the I-35 corridor, we can often route replacement materials to Selma jobs faster because the supply relationship already exists.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Selma Homes
- HOA violations from skipped exterior review. Selma’s master-planned communities enforce fines for even a first violation. We pull the approved color and material list from your HOA before we order a single exterior product, so a roof swap or fence replacement doesn’t turn into a notice on your door.
- Foundation movement on Blackland Prairie clay. Homes near Cibolo Creek and older lots in the city sit on expansive clay that swells and shrinks with moisture. A contractor who ignores the crack pattern before pouring new concrete will be back within two wet seasons. We map the movement first.
- Hail-damaged roofs left too long. Selma sits in a spring hailstorm corridor. The damage starts small – a few missing shingles, granule loss in the gutters – then becomes a leak during the next heavy thunderstorm. Roof repairs run $400 – $1,800 and full replacements $8,000 – $20,000, so catching storm damage early saves real money.
- Permit packages built for San Antonio, not Selma. Contractors who submit the same packet as a San Antonio job without the impervious cover worksheet get kicked back and add 10 days to the draw schedule. We don’t make that mistake because Selma’s review process is the first thing we plan around, not the last.

FAQs About General Contractor in Selma
Yes, Selma requires a permit for any load-bearing wall removal, and your contractor should file it. We prepare the structural plan, submit it with the city’s required documentation, and manage the inspections through final sign-off. A load-bearing wall removal opens up floor plans in many Selma kitchens and living spaces from the 2000s, but doing it without a permit puts your framing, your resale, and your safety at risk. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll tell you during the estimate whether your wall is load-bearing and what the permit path looks like.
Add 7 – 10 business days for planning approval before the permit is issued. This is the city’s impervious-cover and drainage review layer, and it applies to structural and exterior work. We file the submittal early and schedule demolition to start only after the permit is in hand, so you’re not paying for a crew standing around waiting on the city. Call (254) 269-5071 for a timeline estimate specific to your project scope.
Yes, you can change cabinet hardware after signing as long as the cabinets haven’t been ordered or installed yet. We’ll give you a written change order with the new hardware cost and any difference in lead time before anything moves forward. The important thing is telling us before the order goes to the manufacturer, because some Selma remodels use custom cabinet lines with no return window once production starts. Call (254) 269-5071 to talk through your selections.
The biggest foundation risk is differential settling on the expansive clay of the Blackland Prairie, especially in older homes near the Cibolo Creek floodplain. We map crack patterns and grade drainage before any work touches a slab or foundation-adjacent wall, and we schedule structural work around the drier months when clay movement is most predictable. If we see movement that needs a foundation specialist, we tell you before we pour anything. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll inspect your slab lines during the estimate.
You need both. The city issues the permit, but Selma’s master-planned communities have their own architectural review for additions, exterior materials, colors, and even construction hours. We file the city package and the HOA exterior-mods checklist as one coordinated submittal, so your addition doesn’t get built only to get flagged by the association. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll pull your HOA’s specific requirements during the free estimate.
