AfterConstruction in Schertz, TX
Kitchen remodeling in Schertz typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full job, with smaller projects starting around $9,000. Most of the homes we work on here are 2000s-era tract builds, now hitting their first major renovation cycle, and a lot of them sit on post-tension slab foundations over Blackland Prairie clay. That combination shapes how we quote every project in this city: the price goes in writing before any tool is picked up, and the slab gets checked before any wall moves. Call Rowan Construction Group at (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate.
Why Schertz Homes Are Different
Schertz has grown faster than almost any city in Texas for two decades, pulled along by Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph and the I-35 corridor. The housing stock reflects that: sprawling master-planned subdivisions built between 2000 and 2020, nearly all on post-tension slab foundations. Those slabs were engineered to flex with the expansive Blackland Prairie clay under the city, which swells and shrinks through the region’s boom-bust rain cycles. That matters the moment you move a wall, cut a new doorway, or add a wing. A missed tendon cut during a remodel can compromise an entire slab, and we have seen enough of that in Schertz to make ground-penetrating radar scanning a standard first step on any addition or structural change. A smaller pocket of pre-1980 homes near the original FM 78 / Main Street corridor sits on conventional slab or pier-and-beam, and those jobs handle differently, with different framing patterns and often no engineered drawings to fall back on. Homeowners who know this nuance, the PT-slab issue especially, tend to call us after a previous contractor’s quote fell apart on discovery.
Our Main Schertz Services
Two services keep Schertz homeowners on the phone with us more than any others, both tied to the same clay-soil and subdivision reality that defines this city’s housing.
Fence Installation in Schertz
Fence lines in Schertz run through the same expansive clay that moves every slab in the city, and posts set without accounting for that movement start leaning within a few seasons. Wind loading off the flat, open subdivision parcels adds another layer: cheap posts and shallow set depths fail fast here. We quote fences with a written price and a written scope, and the post-depth call is made per lot, not per brochure. Read the full breakdown on our Fence Installation in Schertz page.
Driveway & Pavers in Schertz
Concrete driveways and paver runs in Schertz sit directly on the reactive clay, which is why so many 2000s-era driveways here show hairline cracking long before the roof needs attention. A paver job built on a properly compacted base handles the movement better than a monolithic pour, but the base spec has to match the soil. See what that means in dollars on our Driveway & Pavers in Schertz page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Schertz
Kitchen remodeling in Schertz is the highest-dollar, highest-decision-count job most homeowners here will ever run. In the 2000s tract homes that dominate this city, the original kitchens were built fast: builder-grade cabinets, laminate counters, vinyl flooring, and often a layout that never anticipated a growing household. When we quote a kitchen in Schertz, we start with the written price and scope, then we check the slab before any layout changes, because cutting a new island footprint into a post-tension slab without locating the tendons first is the single most avoidable disaster we see. If you want a deeper sense of how we approach this work, start with our Kitchen Remodeling page.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cabinet doors that no longer close square, countertops with burn marks or water damage, or a layout that collides every time two people cook.
What it costs in Schertz
Full kitchen remodeling in Schertz typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether walls or utilities move.
How we do it
We document existing conditions and slab layout, produce a written scope and flat price, then remove, frame, rough in, and finish in a sequence with a signed change order required before anything shifts.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Delaminating cabinet boxes, drawers that bind, and counters so stained or chipped they cannot be cleaned to a food-safe surface.
What it costs in Schertz
Cabinet installation in Schertz runs $4,000 to $13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500, with the spread driven by material choice from stock laminate to fabricated stone.

|---|---|
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |

Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Schertz?
Yes for any job involving electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. We pull permits and schedule inspections as part of the written scope, and the documentation is yours before we start.
Will a kitchen remodel crack my post-tension slab?
Only if someone cuts without locating the tendons first. We run ground-penetrating radar before any slab cut in Schertz, which is why we insist on it as a standard step. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact quote.
Bathroom Remodeling in Schertz
Bathroom remodeling in Schertz is the job where water damage tends to announce itself quietly and expensively. The 2000s-era tract homes across this city often have fiberglass shower surrounds and vinyl flooring that looked fine for fifteen years and then fail at the seams without warning. The clay-soil movement also means walls and floors shift enough to crack grout lines and break shower pan seals, which is why we treat every Schertz bathroom as a moisture investigation before we treat it as a remodel. See how we scope the work on our Bathroom Remodeling page.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cracked grout, soft spots in the subfloor near the pan, or water staining on the ceiling below.
What it costs in Schertz
Walk-in shower installation in Schertz runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a full shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500, with waterproofing method and tile selection driving the spread.
How we do it
We open the wet area to inspect the substrate, replace any compromised sheathing, install a continuous waterproof membrane, then tile and set fixtures per the written scope.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
A tub nobody uses, a curtain rail that fights the space, or a household member who cannot safely step over the tub wall.
What it costs in Schertz
Tub-to-shower conversion in Schertz runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on drain relocation, valve replacement, and tile work.
How we do it
We pull the tub, confirm the subfloor and joists are sound, relocate the drain if the written plan calls for it, and build the new shower with a membrane system before any tile goes up.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Schertz
| Item | Typical range in Schertz |
|---|---|
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Schertz?
Most Schertz bathrooms finish in two to four weeks once demolition starts. The written scope locks the sequence, and no change order means no delay from scope creep. Call (470) 298-9650 for a timeline on your specific bathroom.
Is mold behind my shower a structural issue?
Usually it is a waterproofing failure first, and the structure is the victim. In Schertz’s shifting slab homes, cracked grout and failed pans let water behind the tile until the framing rots. We inspect, document, and only then quote.
Roofing in Schertz
Roofs in Schertz take a beating from three directions: hail out of the spring storm season, long stretches of July and August heat that bake shingles at 140-plus degrees, and clay-soil movement that flexes the framing just enough to open ridge seams and nail pops. Most of the 2000s tract homes in this city are on their second roof by now, and the original builds were not always flashed properly at the valleys and sidewalls. A roof replacement here needs a contractor who knows which failure patterns are common in Schertz specifically, and who can document what they find so the insurance conversation is grounded in evidence. See the roofing scope detail on our Roofing page.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Granule loss in the gutters, shingles that no longer lay flat, or nail pops visible across the slope.
What it costs in Schertz
Roof replacement in Schertz runs $8,000 to $20,000, with the spread driven by square footage, shingle grade, and whether the decking underneath is still sound.
How we do it
We strip to deck, photograph the exposed condition, replace any damaged sheathing, install new underlayment and flashing per the written scope, and set the shingles with the manufacturer’s spec.
Metal Roofing
Signs you need it
A roof approaching its last storm season, or a homeowner who wants the hail and heat resistance that asphalt does not offer.
What it costs in Schertz
Metal roof installation in Schertz runs $15,000 to $40,000, with panel profile and gauge as the main levers on that range.
How we do it
We build the metal system over a properly vented and sealed deck, with panel overlaps and fastener patterns set to the manufacturer’s wind and hail ratings, documented on every visit.
What Roofing Costs in Schertz
| Item | Typical range in Schertz |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
Does my Schertz roof need a full replacement or just repairs?
If the decking is sound and the shingle loss is isolated, repairs at $400 to $1,800 usually hold. If the shingles are baked, curling, or the flashing is failing at multiple points, replacement is the honest call. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written assessment.
Will working on my roof void the manufacturer’s warranty?
Not if the work follows the manufacturer’s installation spec and is documented. We photograph every layer and every flashing detail so the warranty record matches what actually happened on your roof.
Windows & Doors in Schertz
Windows and doors in Schertz do more work than they get credit for: they manage a 100-degree summer temperature swing, they keep the spring hail out, and they flex with slab movement that can pull a frame out of square within a single dry season. The 2000s tract builds across this city were often fitted with low-grade vinyl windows that lose their seal by year twelve, showing fog between the panes and letting the AC bill climb. In Schertz, a window replacement is as much an energy decision as a cosmetic one, and door replacement usually means correcting an opening that has shifted with the clay beneath it. Our written quote covers the full scope on our Windows & Doors page.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Fogged glass, condensation between panes, or frames that no longer close square against the weatherstripping.
What it costs in Schertz
Window replacement in Schertz runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a typical multi-window job, with frame material and glazing package as the main drivers.
How we do it
We measure each opening individually, correct any framing that has shifted out of square, install the new units with proper flashing, and document the fit before trim goes back.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
A home in a hail-prone corridor, or a household that wants the insurance discount and the storm-season security rated impact glass provides.
What it costs in Schertz
Impact window installation in Schertz runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the opening count and the product grade.
How we do it
We spec rated impact units appropriate to the opening, replace any substandard framing around them, and install to the manufacturer’s wind and impact documentation, with photos at every step.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Schertz
| Item | Typical range in Schertz |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Door Installation | $800 - $3,000 |
Will new windows actually lower my Schertz AC bill?
Yes, if the current units have failed seals or single-pane glass, replacement glazing cuts solar heat gain enough to matter. The dollar return depends on the house orientation and the glazing spec. Call (470) 298-9650 and we will put the numbers on paper.
Why did my door suddenly stop closing in Schertz?
The slab under the opening has moved with the expansive clay, a common issue in Schertz’s 2000s subdivisions. We square the opening before hanging the new door, so the fix holds through the next wet-dry cycle.
Home Additions & ADU in Schertz
Home additions and ADUs in Schertz are where the post-tension slab reality hits hardest. Adding a room or building a detached ADU here means either cutting into a post-tension slab, tying into a structure that has already moved on the clay, or starting a new build on soil that will move under it. The 2000s tract homes were not designed with future additions in mind, which is why we see so many Schertz homeowners discover mid-project that their “simple bump-out” requires slab verification, rebar mapping, and an engineer’s letter. Our written price covers the full investigation and the build, and our Home Additions & ADU page lays out the scope in detail.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
A household that wants rental income or multigenerational space, but does not want the risk of an unpermitted structure on a Schertz lot.
What it costs in Schertz
ADU construction in Schertz runs $90,000 to $220,000, with design and permitting handled as part of the written scope.
How we do it
We survey the lot, run the slab or soil assessment, produce plan sets that match Schertz’s permitting path, and hold the written price through the permit cycle.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
A two-car garage that stores boxes instead of cars, and a household that needs living space without expanding the footprint.
What it costs in Schertz
Garage conversion in Schertz runs $30,000 to $80,000 depending on whether the slab needs work, the existing utilities reach, and the finish level.
How we do it
We inspect the garage slab for tendon locations and cracking, verify the existing wiring and plumbing, then convert per a written scope that carries the same warranty as a new build.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Schertz
| Item | Typical range in Schertz |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Does Schertz allow ADUs on single-family lots?
Yes, under the city’s current development code, with setback and size limits that vary by lot and subdivision. We handle the permit path inside the written scope, so you are never waiting on a decision we should have predicted. Call (470) 298-9650.
Will my post-tension slab support a second-story addition?
Sometimes, but it requires an engineer’s review of the existing slab and tendon map before any cut happens. We will not quote an addition until that review is done, because the answer changes the price and sometimes the whole plan.
Brands We Service in Schertz

Parts arrive from regional supply lines, and we stock common profiles to keep turnaround tight. See our brands for the full list.
