Home Remodeling in Terrell Hills, TX

Terrell Hills is its own city, not a San Antonio neighborhood. It sits between Alamo Heights and Fort Sam Houston, covers about a square mile and a half, and shares the 78209 mailing address with its neighbors, which is why a lot of homeowners here are surprised to learn their permit goes to their own city hall rather than to San Antonio. We have photographed Terrell Hills work in our gallery - cabinetry and millwork among it - and the work we take on here runs the full slate: kitchen and bath remodels, additions, built-ins and cabinetry out of our own shop, decks and patio covers, and fence and gate work.

Nearly every house in Terrell Hills predates 1960. The city more than doubled in the 1950s and then ran out of room, so what stands today is a mix of 1920s and 1930s period-revival houses along the older streets and 1940s and 1950s cottages and ranches filling in around them. There is almost nothing left to build from scratch, which means the work here is remodeling, adding on, and undoing whatever the last three owners did.

Between the two owners, DH Construction brings 20+ years of combined experience in San Antonio remodeling, and a good share of it has been in houses this age. Pier-and-beam crawl spaces, plaster over wood lath, a fuse panel someone half-updated in 1978, supply lines that will not survive being moved. We would rather find those in the walkthrough and put them in the estimate than discover them on demo day and hand you a change order. Finished Terrell Hills projects are in our gallery, and our workmanship warranty is one year cosmetic and two years mechanical.

Terrell Hills is about 20 minutes from our shop in Converse. That proximity is how we run jobsites the way this city expects: materials arrive close to when the crew needs them instead of stockpiling in your yard, and the site gets cleaned up at the end of every day.
