Bath and Cabinet Remodeling Across Guadalupe County (78155)

On the western side of the county, Schertz and Cibolo have grown quickly with subdivisions built from the 1980s through recent years. Marion and McQueeney sit in between, and Seguin anchors the eastern side with its historic courthouse square, older neighborhoods and newer development along the interstate.

We also work with homes in rural parts of the county, many on acreage with wells and septic. Those projects take a bit more planning for deliveries and fixture choices.

Subdivision homes here often have bathrooms built to a tight budget: fiberglass tubs, acrylic shower pans, a single sink and minimal lighting. Over time, those pans crack and grout darkens. A bathroom remodel that replaces the shower with a properly waterproofed tiled one, adds a double vanity and upgrades the fan and lighting makes a dramatic difference.

In older Seguin homes, bathrooms tend to be small and may have an original tub, old plumbing and floors that slope. These rooms need structural attention first, then simple, durable finishes that suit the house.

Families in Schertz and Cibolo often have a hall bath shared by kids and guests that takes the most abuse. We usually suggest porcelain tile that hides water spots, a vanity with a solid top and deep drawers instead of doors, a tub with a tiled surround that runs to the ceiling, and a quiet exhaust fan on a humidity sensor so nobody has to remember to turn it on. These choices cost a little more up front and save repairs later.

1. Demolish and inspect framing and plumbing
2. Replace or repair drains and supply lines as needed
3. Waterproof the shower and floor before tile
4. Set vanity, fixtures, glass and lighting, then final clean

Many homes here have oak or builder-grade cabinets that are structurally fine but look dated. If the layout works, painting or refacing the cabinets, changing hardware and replacing counters can transform the kitchen at a fraction of a full remodel. Our guide to refacing or replacing explains how to decide.

If cabinets are water damaged, the layout is cramped or you want to move appliances, full replacement makes more sense. We’ll look at the boxes during the walkthrough and give you an honest view of which route fits your kitchen and budget.

Painting works best on solid wood doors and frames. We degrease, sand, prime and spray the doors off site when possible, so the finish is smooth and hard, and brush or spray the frames in place. Thermofoil or laminate doors that are peeling are a poor candidate for paint, and that’s where refacing with new doors earns its cost. Either way, new soft-close hinges and drawer slides make an older kitchen feel newer every time you open a cabinet.

Schertz and Cibolo sit just northeast of San Antonio along I-35, and Seguin is east along I-10. We plan visits and work days by area so materials arrive in order and jobs move steadily. Rural homes may take more coordination for deliveries.

Seguin’s older neighborhoods near the river and the courthouse square include some pier-and-beam homes, and those floors need a check for bounce and level before tile goes down. Rural farmhouses may run on wells with hard water and sediment, so we suggest filters and fixtures with standard replacement cartridges.

Permits depend on the city. Schertz, Cibolo and Seguin each have their own offices, and unincorporated homes fall under Guadalupe County. Clay soils here move with drought and rain, so we use flexible setting materials and movement joints in tile to reduce cracking.

We answer calls 24/7. Talk it through with us by phone and we’ll arrange a time for a designer to visit.
