Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Selma
A full home remodel in Selma runs $9,000 to $130,000 depending on scope, with a small kitchen refit starting around $9,000 and a whole-home addition at the top end. For most production homes built in the 2000s and 2010s here, the first wave of meaningful remodeling lands in the $14,000 to $45,000 range for a kitchen and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bath. If you’re reading this from a house in Retama Springs, Olympia, or the neighborhoods off Evans Road, you already know Selma is a different remodel market than San Antonio proper. Different soil, different HOA rules, different houses. Our crew works in Selma every week, so we understand what it takes to get the job done without spending a month fighting paperwork. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll walk through your project, the real numbers, and what to expect.
Why Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio Is Selma’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
We’re part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, founded in 2004, and our approach is simple enough to survive contact with Selma’s newer homes. Every project starts with a written price before any work begins. Not a ballpark. Not a verbal estimate. A written quote with line items you can actually read. Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he’s built Mason Remodeling around the idea that you should know exactly who’s walking into your home and exactly what it will cost before you commit.
The crew comes background-checked, identity-verified, and in clean marked uniforms. We send you the technician’s name and photo before the visit. When they arrive, they’ll show a photo ID badge at the door. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s not a marketing slogan; it’s how we run every job in Selma. On top of that, every completed project carries a written guarantee with stated terms, including a free return visit if something fails. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost. A live person also answers our phone 24/7, weekends and holidays included.
Homeowners in Selma reach us from all over the Northeast San Antonio development belt. They mention the same things repeatedly: they want the price on paper, they want to know who’s coming, and they don’t want to discover a surprise invoice after the tile is set. That’s what we deliver.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Contractor in Selma
A home remodeling contractor in Selma handles the full scope of a project, from the first structural assessment to the final walkthrough, and that’s what we do best. The local challenges here aren’t cosmetic. Selma sits on expansive clay soils of the Blackland Prairie, so remodeling that touches slab or foundation, like a kitchen island or load-bearing wall removal, often requires a structural engineer’s input before pulling permits. This is a real distinction between Selma and newer limestone-based suburbs to the west, and skipping that step leads to cracked tile, drywall damage, and failed inspections.
Whole-Home and Structural Work
If your remodel involves moving walls, adding square footage, or converting a garage, the planning phase in Selma matters more than anywhere else we work. A whole-home remodel in Selma runs $45,000 to $130,000 for an addition and $30,000 to $80,000 for a garage conversion. We bring in licensed structural engineers, coordinate the permit process, and keep the builder’s warranty intact whenever possible.
Kitchen and Bath Focus
Most Selma homeowners start with a kitchen or bath because builder-grade finishes wear out or date quickly. A kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000; a small kitchen remodel $9,000 to $20,000. Bathrooms run $9,000 to $28,000 for a full remodel, with walk-in showers at $4,500 to $12,000 and tub-to-shower conversions at $3,500 to $10,000. These are the upgrades where a Selma homeowner sees the fastest return, both in daily use and resale.
Home Renovation in Selma
Home renovation in Selma means something particular: you’re updating a production home from the late 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s that’s still finding its final shape. The houses here are mostly brick and stone veneer tract builds, many inside master-planned communities with HOA oversight of anything visible from the street. That adds a layer of process to even straightforward renovations. You don’t leap into changing a window or exterior door without checking the architectural guidelines first.
Interior Refreshes That Pay Off
The most common renovation work we do in Selma is inside the walls: removing dated tile, replacing builder-grade carpet with hardwood or luxury vinyl, and swapping out hollow-core doors for solid wood. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500, and cabinet installation is $4,000 to $13,000. These numbers reflect Selma’s actual market, not a national average.
What to Leave Alone
Some things in a Selma production home are structurally fine but look tired. A kitchen from 2008 with raised-panel oak cabinets might only need refacing or new hardware rather than full replacement. We’ll tell you honestly. If the slab has settled but the framing is sound, a renovation can proceed without major structural work. If the slab is moving and the tile keeps cracking, that’s a different conversation, and we’ll bring in the right engineer to figure out what’s happening below the surface.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We install and service equipment from Atlas, Tamko, Boral, and PGT across Selma, and we keep common parts local so turnaround isn’t slowed by shipping. If you’re replacing a roof as part of your renovation and want a Boral concrete barrel tile or a Tamko shingle that your HOA approves, we’ll match the spec and handle the paperwork. If you’re swapping windows and want impact-rated PGT glass, we’ll help you navigate the permitting requirement that comes with hurricane-rated products in this part of Texas. We don’t push one brand for every house. We tell you what fits your Selma home, your budget, and your HOA’s rules.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Tile cracks from Blackland Prairie clay movement. Expansive clay soil beneath Selma swells and shrinks with rainfall and drought, and differential settling is common in older homes near the Cibolo Creek floodplain. Tile laid without an isolation membrane or proper subfloor prep cracks within a season or two.
- Homeowners skip the HOA architectural review and get stop-work notices. Changing a window, exterior door, or roofline in a master-planned Selma community without prior approval triggers fines and work stoppage. We check the HOA guidelines before we submit any permit or order any materials.
- Contractors remove walls without confirming whether they’re load-bearing. Production homes of this era have load paths that aren’t obvious from a glance. Removing the wrong wall causes drywall cracks, sagging ceilings, and failed inspections. We verify before cutting.
- Kitchen islands pull away from the slab on newer builds that are still settling. In Retama Springs, for example, a homeowner called us because their kitchen island was separating from the slab; differential settling had cracked the tile and shifted the base cabinets. Our crew worked with a structural engineer, got the inspection sign-off, and rebuilt the island on an engineered subfloor with Cambria quartz countertops, all without voiding the builder’s structural warranty.

The biggest cost driver in Selma is soil. If you’re adding a heavy kitchen island or removing a load-bearing wall, you need an engineer’s report before the city will sign off on the permit. That adds $500 to $2,000 to your project and it’s non-negotiable when the slab is involved. HOA fees and architectural review don’t usually cost much, but delays from a stop-work order do. We quote it all up front so the free estimate we give you is the number you can plan around. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll come out, look at your slab, your HOA rules, and your existing structure, and put the real price in writing.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Selma
Yes, in most master-planned communities in Selma, any exterior change visible from the street requires HOA architectural review before work begins. That includes windows, siding, roof material changes, and sometimes even paint color. We check the specific HOA guidelines for your Selma subdivision and submit the paperwork as part of your project plan, so you don’t end up with a stop-work notice. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll tell you exactly what your HOA requires and what the review timeline looks like.
You keep the work inside the existing footprint, avoid touching structural framing or the slab, and use a licensed contractor who documents everything. Moving or removing load-bearing walls, cutting into the slab, or changing the roofline can void the builder’s warranty unless the work is engineered and permitted. In Selma, where clay soil already stresses slabs, we recommend an engineer’s review for any kitchen remodel that adds weight or changes the layout. That protects both the warranty and the resale value. Call (254) 269-5071 for a free assessment of what your kitchen remodel needs.
Selma sits on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay, which swells during the rainy season and shrinks in drought, and that differential movement shows up as cracked tile and shifted base cabinets. You cannot stop the soil from moving, but you can remodel with an isolation membrane, proper subfloor engineering, and flexible grout. In homes near the Cibolo Creek floodplain, the movement is more pronounced. We work with structural engineers routinely in this part of Selma because slab elevation matters. Call (254) 269-5071 if you’re seeing recurring cracks; we’ll assess whether it’s cosmetic or structural before you spend money on new tile.
Expect $9,000 to $20,000 for a small kitchen remodel in Selma, with countertop installation running $2,000 to $6,500 and cabinet installation $4,000 to $13,000. That range assumes production-home square footage, mid-range materials, and no structural work. If you’re adding an island that anchors to the slab, add for an engineer’s report and possible slab prep. Call (254) 269-5071 for a written quote; the estimate is free and it will reflect your home’s actual condition, not a brochure.
Yes, but you’ll need to confirm zoning, HOA rules, and foundation capacity first. A garage conversion in Selma runs $30,000 to $80,000 depending on whether you’re adding a bathroom, reinforcing the slab, or upgrading electrical. Many Selma HOAs restrict or prohibit garage conversions that reduce required off-street parking, so we verify the covenant before we quote. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll walk you through what your specific neighborhood allows.
