Our Service Areas: San Antonio & the Texas Hill Country

Boerne sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, a short drive northwest of San Antonio in Kendall County (ZIP 78006), and its homes reflect a distinctive local character that shapes how we approach every project. The town grew from a German free-thinker settlement on Cibolo Creek, and that heritage still shows in the dressed-limestone and fachwerk buildings lining Hauptstrasse along the Hill Country Mile, as well as in the stone-and-stucco elevations, steep gabled roofs, and deep porches found on both older homes and newer construction. Boerne's building stock ranges widely, from century-old cottages near Main Plaza to sprawling custom estates and working acreage in communities like Cordillera Ranch, Tapatio Springs, Esperanza, and River Mountain Ranch. As a San Antonio-based general contractor with more than 18 years of experience, TexPro handles the full range: interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, carpentry, drywall repair, interior finishing, and kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodels tailored to how each home is actually built.

The Hill Country climate is hard on finishes, and we plan for it. Intense UV from spring through fall, 95-plus-degree summers, and sharp swings to freezing winter nights will chalk and fade standard paint on south- and west-facing walls far faster than homeowners expect, so we specify UV-stable, breathable coatings and, on limestone and stucco, take the extra steps of cleaning, checking for existing sealers, addressing cracks, and priming so the finish actually bonds and lasts. We also respect the review process that comes with the territory: work in Boerne's locally designated Historic District along Main Street falls under the Historic Landmark Commission and its Certificate of Appropriateness requirements, while gated communities such as Cordillera Ranch and Fair Oaks Ranch enforce their own architectural guidelines on exterior colors, materials, and rooflines. Whether we're repainting a downtown storefront, refinishing cabinets in an established Fair Oaks home, or finishing out a new estate on Hill Country acreage, our focus is careful prep, clean lines, and durable results that protect your investment.

• Historic downtown along Hauptstrasse (the Hill Country Mile) preserves 140-plus structures, many in dressed limestone with German fachwerk construction.
• The locally designated Historic District requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Landmark Commission before exterior changes.
• Gated communities like the 8,700-acre Cordillera Ranch, Fair Oaks Ranch, Tapatio Springs, and Esperanza enforce architectural review of exterior materials, colors, and roof pitches.
• Limestone and stucco exteriors need careful cleaning, sealer checks, crack repair, and priming for coatings to bond and last against intense Hill Country UV.

Canyon Lake is a scattered lakeside community in Comal County, roughly 45 miles northeast of San Antonio, made up of unincorporated pockets like Sattler, Startzville, and Canyon City and a long list of subdivisions that ring the reservoir's 80-plus miles of shoreline. Housing here runs the full spectrum: modest 1990s lakeside cottages in neighborhoods like Canyon Lake Forest and Canyon Lake Hills, newer custom builds in gated communities such as Oak Shores and Mystic Shores, and everything from modern farmhouse and mid-century modern to stone-and-stucco Hill Country and Mediterranean-inspired homes. A large share are second homes, weekend retreats, and short-term rentals tied to the area's Guadalupe River tubing and lake tourism, which means owners often want turnkey, guest-ready finishes and work scheduled around booking calendars. As a licensed and insured general contractor with 18-plus years of experience, TexPro handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, carpentry, drywall repair, and full kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodels across all of these ZIP codes.

The Hill Country setting drives most of the exterior work out here. Homes sit on hilly, limestone-and-cedar terrain and take intense year-round UV, summer heat, humidity coming off the water, and periodic hail and windstorms — conditions that fade paint, chalk south- and west-facing elevations, and break down deck coatings fast. We spec durable exterior systems for stucco, fiber-cement (Hardie), stone, and wood trim, and we know that sun-exposed decks, pergolas, and lakeside railings generally need to be cleaned and resealed every two to three years to hold up. Many Canyon Lake subdivisions, including Mystic Shores and its gated Peninsula and Rio Central sections, are governed by property owners associations with architectural and exterior-color guidelines, so we're glad to work within POA review requirements and approved palettes. Whether it's refreshing a rental cottage before peak season, repainting a weathered lakefront elevation, rebuilding a deck, or remodeling a kitchen or bath, TexPro delivers craftsmanship and finish quality that stands up to the lake environment.

• Canyon Lake spans ZIPs 78130, 78132, and 78133 and communities like Sattler, Startzville, and Canyon City around 80-plus miles of shoreline.
• Many properties are second homes or short-term rentals tied to Guadalupe River tubing, so owners often need guest-ready finishes scheduled around booking seasons.
• Subdivisions such as Mystic Shores (with gated Peninsula and Rio Central sections) and Oak Shores are POA-governed, with architectural and color guidelines.
• Intense Hill Country UV, heat, lake humidity, and hail fade paint and degrade coatings, so sun-exposed decks and pergolas typically need resealing every two to three years.

Comal County is one of the fastest-growing corners of the Texas Hill Country, and its housing reflects that mix: brand-new production and custom homes in subdivisions like Vintage Oaks, Kinder Ranch, River Chase, and Copper Ridge sit alongside century-old German Fachwerk and Texas limestone homes in New Braunfels and Gruene. Founded in 1845 by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, New Braunfels carries four locally recognized historic districts — Sophienburg Hill, Mill Street, Downtown, and Stock — where exterior changes are held to a higher standard of authenticity. TexPro Contracting is based in San Antonio, roughly 30 miles south, and we regularly work throughout the county, from downtown New Braunfels (78130, 78132) to Bulverde (78163), Spring Branch (78070), Garden Ridge (78266), Fischer (78623), and the neighborhoods ringing Canyon Lake (78133). Whether the job is repainting a stucco-and-stone facade, remodeling a kitchen, or adding custom trim and built-ins, we match our approach to the age and character of the home rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

The Hill Country setting shapes how work here has to be done. The Balcones Escarpment splits the county between shallow limestone terrain and expansive clay soils that swell in spring rains and shrink through the long Central Texas summer — movement that shows up as drywall cracks, sticking doors, and gaps in trim that a good interior finishing and drywall repair plan needs to account for. Intense year-round UV and heat are hard on exterior coatings, so we specify quality, fade-resistant products and thorough surface prep for masonry, stucco, and wood siding to protect curb appeal for the long haul. Many newer Comal County subdivisions carry HOA architectural guidelines on approved colors and finishes, and older neighborhoods add historic-district considerations, so we help homeowners choose finishes that both look right and stay compliant. From full kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodels to cabinet painting, carpentry, and interior and exterior painting, TexPro brings 18-plus years of licensed, insured general contracting to every project.

• New Braunfels, founded in 1845, has four historic districts (Sophienburg Hill, Mill Street, Downtown, and Stock) where exterior work calls for period-appropriate care.
• Original German Fachwerk and Texas limestone homes in New Braunfels and Gruene need prep and paint systems suited to masonry and older substrates.
• Fast-growing subdivisions like Vintage Oaks, Kinder Ranch, River Chase, and Copper Ridge often carry HOA guidelines on approved exterior colors and finishes.
• The Balcones Escarpment and expansive clay soils cause seasonal movement — drywall cracks, sticking doors, separating trim — that prep should account for.

ZIP 78253 covers some of San Antonio's fastest-growing ground on the Far West Side, anchored by Alamo Ranch, the city's largest master-planned community at more than 3,000 acres, along with the many single-family and garden-home subdivisions of Westover Hills. Most homes here were built within the last two decades by builders such as D.R. Horton, Lennar, Pulte, and Highland Homes, so the housing stock leans toward open floor plans, two-story elevations, and builder-grade finishes that homeowners are now ready to upgrade. Common exterior envelopes combine stucco, brick, and Hill Country stone, each of which calls for a different prep and coating approach to hold up well. As a San Antonio-based general contractor with 18-plus years of experience, TexPro handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, drywall repair, carpentry, and kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodels throughout these neighborhoods.

Two local realities shape the work out here. First, the intense South Texas sun and heat are hard on west- and south-facing walls, so exterior painting in 78253 depends on quality masonry and elastomeric coatings, thorough surface prep, and proper caulking to resist fading, chalking, and cracking. Second, nearly every subdivision in Alamo Ranch and Westover Hills sits under an active, sometimes gated, HOA, and several enforce approved exterior color palettes and architectural review before you can repaint or alter a facade. TexPro is used to working within those guidelines, matching approved colors and keeping projects tidy in close-set family neighborhoods. Because these homes are relatively new, much of our remodeling work centers on personalizing builder-standard interiors — refreshing kitchens and cabinets, updating primary baths, replacing worn trim and drywall, and adding finished touches that make a production home feel custom.

• Alamo Ranch is San Antonio's largest master-planned community (3,000-plus acres) and, with Westover Hills, defines the 78253 landscape of newer, HOA-governed subdivisions.
• Most homes were built in the last ~20 years by production builders, leaving builder-grade finishes ripe for cabinet, paint, and interior upgrades.
• Exteriors are typically stucco, brick, and Hill Country stone, each needing specific prep and coatings for intense sun on west- and south-facing walls.
• Nearly every subdivision has an active HOA, and many enforce approved exterior color palettes and architectural review before repainting or remodeling.

The Dominion is a 1,500-acre guard-gated community off I-10 in far northwest San Antonio, built out from the mid-1980s onward across sub-neighborhoods like The Renaissance, Les Chateaux, The Reserve, The Legends, and Aragon. The homes here reward a careful hand: large custom and estate residences of 3,000 to 7,000-plus square feet, drawn from Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Tuscan, and Hill Country contemporary traditions, with clay tile roofs, stone and stucco exteriors, arched openings, and detailed millwork inside. TexPro Contracting is a San Antonio-based general contractor with more than 18 years of experience, and we approach these properties the way their owners do, with respect for the finish quality, the furnishings, and the privacy of the household. Whether it is a full interior repaint in a golf-course estate, hand-finished cabinetry, or a kitchen or whole-home remodel, our crews protect the home meticulously, keep a clean and low-profile jobsite, and treat every detail as visible.

Working in The Dominion also means working within its standards. The community's Architectural Control Committee reviews exterior changes, including paint color revisions, so a repaint here is not simply a color choice but a submission that has to align with the neighborhood's aesthetic, and we are glad to prepare and stage work around that approval process and the community's manned-gate access and vendor verification. The Hill Country setting adds its own demands: intense Texas sun and thermal cycling are hard on stucco and elastomeric coatings, so proper surface prep, crack repair, and UV-stable acrylic systems matter for finishes that hold up over the recommended five-to-seven-year repaint cycle. TexPro handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, carpentry, drywall repair, interior finishing, exterior repairs, and kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling for Dominion homeowners, always with an eye toward durable, high-end results and a process that stays quiet, tidy, and dependable from estimate to final walkthrough.

• The Dominion is a ~1,500-acre guard-gated community in 78257 with manned gates and vendor verification that contractors coordinate around.
• Homes are large custom and estate residences (commonly 3,000 to 7,000+ sq ft) in Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Tuscan, and Hill Country contemporary styles.
• The Architectural Control Committee must approve exterior modifications, including paint color changes, so exterior work requires design-aligned submissions.
• Intense UV and heat-driven thermal cycling stress stucco and coatings, making thorough prep and UV-stable acrylic systems important on a ~5-to-7-year repaint cycle.

Alamo Heights is one of San Antonio's oldest and most distinctive enclaves — an independent city of tree-lined streets and mature live oaks just north of downtown, largely built out between the 1920s and 1940s. You see it in the housing stock: Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean homes, English Tudors, and a well-loved pocket of 1920s-40s Craftsman cottages, many designed in the era of architects like Atlee B. Ayres. Homeowners here tend to value the original character of their homes and want work that preserves it rather than erases it. As a San Antonio-based general contractor, TexPro serves Alamo Heights and the surrounding 78209 area with the interior and exterior painting, carpentry, drywall repair, and remodeling that older, high-quality homes call for — matching profiles on existing trim, respecting original details, and delivering a finish that looks like it belongs.

Working on established Alamo Heights homes means accounting for how they were built and how the local ground behaves. Central Texas's expansive clay soils swell and shrink with wet and dry cycles, and the neighborhood's large, thirsty oaks pull moisture from the soil — which, combined with older pier-and-beam and shallow foundations, is why so many homes here show seasonal movement in drywall, trim, and plaster. That history shapes how we approach a project: careful prep and crack repair before interior painting, proper caulking and surface work on stucco and wood siding before exterior coats, and thoughtful carpentry when doors, cabinets, and casings have shifted over the decades. Whether it's a full kitchen or bathroom remodel, cabinet refinishing, interior finishing, or a repaint that refreshes a home without changing its character, TexPro is licensed and insured and focused on the finish quality and attention to detail that Alamo Heights homeowners expect.

• Alamo Heights is an independent municipality inside San Antonio (78209), incorporated in 1922, about five miles north of downtown.
• Housing is dominated by 1920s-40s Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean, Tudor, and Craftsman homes, with many properties 100-plus years old.
• Mature live oaks and expansive clay soils drive seasonal soil movement that cracks drywall, plaster, and trim on older pier-and-beam homes.
• Homeowners prioritize preserving character, so matching existing trim profiles, stucco textures, and finishes matters more than in newer subdivisions.
