Expert Reconstruction Contractors in San Antonio, TX

Timeline depends on project scope, but most comprehensive envelope reconstructions take 6-12 months. We provide detailed schedules during planning that account for San Antonio’s weather patterns—including summer heat that affects material installation and occasional severe thunderstorms—material lead times, and coordination with engineering inspections. For post-litigation projects, we work within court-mandated deadlines while maintaining quality standards. Smaller repairs or targeted waterproofing projects may complete in 4-8 weeks. Our project managers provide weekly updates and proactively address any schedule impacts to keep your project on track.

Construction defect reconstruction costs vary significantly based on deficiency scope, building size, and accessibility challenges. Typical multifamily envelope reconstruction ranges from $15-45 per square foot of exterior wall area, though complex projects with structural repairs or difficult access may exceed this range. We provide transparent, detailed estimates broken down by building system—stucco, windows, waterproofing, balconies—so property owners and attorneys can understand cost drivers. For CAPEX planning, we offer preliminary budgets based on visual assessments before engineering investigations are complete. According to the City of San Antonio Economic Development, the metro area continues strong construction growth, making early assessment and planning critical for budget management.

Absolutely. We partner with forensic engineering firms throughout the investigation phase, providing field support for invasive testing, destructive testing, and evidence documentation. Our superintendents understand testing protocols and coordinate access, safety measures, and site logistics while engineers conduct their analysis. We can perform selective demolition to expose wall assemblies, window installations, and structural elements—then document findings through photography and measurements that support expert reports. Many San Antonio engineering firms regularly include us in their investigation teams because we understand the difference between evidence preservation and typical demolition work.

San Antonio reconstruction projects must comply with the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) as adopted by the City of San Antonio, plus amendments for local conditions. We navigate requirements from San Antonio Development Services including wind-resistant construction provisions for South Texas weather, energy code compliance under IECC 2021, and foundation requirements for expansive limestone soils. For historic properties in districts like King William or Monte Vista, we coordinate with preservation guidelines from the city’s Historic Preservation Office. Our team maintains current code knowledge and manages all permitting, inspections, and certificate of occupancy requirements—you don’t need to become a code expert to ensure compliant reconstruction.

Yes. We regularly prepare detailed cost of repair estimates for construction defect attorneys representing plaintiffs in San Antonio litigation. Our estimates include comprehensive breakdowns by building system, account for code upgrade requirements, and reflect current San Antonio-area labor and material costs. We present estimates in formats attorneys need for settlement negotiations or trial, and our principals can provide expert testimony when cases proceed to court. Unlike contractors who inflate numbers or overlook scope items, we provide realistic, defensible cost projections based on actual field experience reconstructing similar defects. Our track record of accurate estimating has supported successful case resolutions across dozens of South Texas lawsuits.

We provide comprehensive warranties covering both our workmanship and the materials we install. Standard reconstruction projects include a 2-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties on materials ranging from 10-30 years depending on the system—roofing, windows, siding products each carry specific coverage. For post-litigation projects where owners expect enhanced protection, we can structure extended warranty programs with third-party backing. All warranties transfer to subsequent property owners, protecting long-term building value. We also offer optional maintenance programs where our team conducts annual inspections, identifies minor issues before they become major problems, and keeps your building envelope performing as designed. According to the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, proper building maintenance increases property values and reduces unexpected capital expenditures.

We’ve perfected reconstruction techniques that minimize disruption to residents and tenants. Our approach includes phased construction schedules that complete work in sections, maintaining habitability throughout the project. We coordinate access with property managers, provide advance notice to residents, and schedule noisy activities during approved hours. For multifamily properties, we install temporary weatherproofing before removing existing assemblies—residents never experience weather exposure during reconstruction. Our field teams maintain clean, safe job sites with daily cleanup protocols, clearly marked pedestrian routes, and dust control measures. We’ve reconstructed hundreds of occupied buildings across San Antonio without requiring tenant relocation, saving property owners the cost and complexity of temporary housing arrangements.

Yes. While we’re based in San Antonio, we serve the entire South Texas region and surrounding communities. Our reconstruction services extend throughout Bexar County and into Comal, Guadalupe, Wilson, and Kendall Counties. We regularly complete projects in New Braunfels, Boerne, Seguin, Schertz, Helotes, and Fair Oaks Ranch. We understand the building practices, code variations, and architectural styles across South Texas communities—from the Hill Country limestone homes to the stucco-clad multifamily properties throughout San Antonio’s urban core. Our regional presence means we can respond quickly to emergencies, provide efficient project management without excessive travel costs, and maintain the same service quality whether your property is in downtown San Antonio or a Hill Country community 30 miles away.
