## Why this matters in San Antonio

Most San Antonio homeowners hit the same friction when planning a remodel: too many decisions, too many contractors, and a price that drifts upward once the work begins. The single biggest fix is a design-build process — one team owning design, materials, and construction under one contract. That’s the model we’ve used at SA Remodel Pros for more than 26 years across 2,000+ projects.

## The five-step process

1.  **Free in-home estimate** — we walk the project with you, take measurements, and discuss realistic scope and budget.
2.  **Design-center selections** — you choose cabinets, countertops, tile, fixtures, and finishes in person.
3.  **Fixed bid and contract** — once selections are final, the price is locked in writing.
4.  **Build with in-house crews** — long-tenured crews execute under one Project Coordinator.
5.  **Final walkthrough and warranty** — we walk the finished space with you and stand behind the work.

## Things homeowners ask first

**Do you remove the old flooring?** — Yes — demolition and disposal are part of the service.

**Why does subfloor prep matter?** — A level, sound subfloor prevents squeaks and failures later.
