Bexar County, Texas
Universal City is older stock than most of the north side, and that changes what a remodel runs into. Plenty of these houses date from the sixties through the eighties, built out next to the base, with smaller separate rooms and kitchens that were never meant to be looked at from the sofa. The bones are usually good. It is the layout that wants changing, and that means walls, headers and a permit rather than new cabinet doors.
OneWay Remodel builds custom kitchens, closets, cabinetry and whole home remodels for Universal City homeowners. Universal City is inside our normal service area with no travel surcharge. Owner Hayne Wolmarans supervises every job. Licensed RBC-22-01411, insured.

What Universal City homeowners ask us most, answered the way we would answer on the phone.
No. Universal City is inside our normal service area.
Yes, and in houses of this age it is usually the change worth making. Wall removals and headers are done under license RBC-22-01411, permitted through the City of San Antonio, with a framing inspection.
San Antonio and the Hill Country sit on expansive clay. It swells when it rains and shrinks in drought, and our rainfall swings hard between the two. That movement is why doors stick, tile cracks, floors run out of level and gaps open at the trim. We measure and scribe to the house as it actually is rather than assuming it is square.
The bones on these houses are usually sound, which is the expensive part to fix and the part you already have. What dates them is the layout and the finishes, and both of those are exactly what a remodel changes.
Sometimes. For a load-bearing change the inspector may ask for one at the framing inspection, and that is a call made in the field. We plan for the possibility rather than treating it as a surprise.
A full custom kitchen takes 2 to 4 weeks. A custom closet takes about a week. A primary suite bath runs 3 to 5 weeks.
Yes. Older wall construction changes how you open a wall and how you make good afterwards, and it is worth knowing that before demolition rather than during it.
We take whole rooms rather than single fixtures. A custom shop build carries the same setup cost whether it is one cabinet or a kitchen full, so a one-item job serves you badly and we say so on the phone.
We also work in Boerne, Bulverde, Spring Branch, Schertz, and across San Antonio. The full list is on our areas served page.
Call and you will speak to Hayne or someone who has been on his crew. If we are not the right fit, we will say so on the phone.
The consultation is free, and there is no travel charge anywhere we work.
