San Antonio is one of the major cities in Texas. As the state’s second-largest city, San Antonio is a melting pot of different cultures. The city also takes pride in its Military City status, being home to Fort Sam Houston and other facilities. In recent years, San Antonio has welcomed new demographics and communities. The changing and developing landscape of the city keeps things exciting and in-fashion.

The same balance of heritage and openness for change is evident in the homes of San Antonians. Many homeowners want to update the features and aesthetics of their homes while keeping the unique vintage appeal. The skilled remodelers in this list have proven time and time again that the preservation of old and embracing of new is possible. Most of these contractors have decades of experience and multiple industry awards to prove expertise in the field.

To come up with this list, our editorial team studied a number of local remodelers. We assessed each contractor based on their industry background, previous work experience, familiarity with the locality, and overall work quality.

If you are thinking about doing a whole home interior remodeling, we recommend checking each builder’s license with the local licensing board, speaking to past clients, and using our bidding system to get competitive quotes from at least 3 contractors. Getting multiple bids is the best way to ensure you get a fair price and that bids include the complete scope of work.
