Remodeling Contractor Serving Boerne, TX
HouseFX is a remodeling contractor based in nearby Bulverde that serves Boerne, TX with home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, outdoor living and exterior renovation. Inside Boerne city limits, most structural work, including patios and decks, needs a city building permit, and exterior changes in the Historic District also need a Certificate of Appropriateness. HouseFX handles both. Call 210-853-3651.
HouseFX has served Boerne homeowners from our Bulverde office in the Hill Country, and we know the difference between remodeling a new home near the Interstate 10 corridor and updating a century-old house a block off Main Street. Our fully insured design-build team handles home remodeling, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions and outdoor living with one contract and one point of contact. Financing options are available for qualified clients.
What Makes Remodeling in Boerne Unique?
Boerne combines a protected historic downtown, fast-growing newer neighborhoods and Hill Country acreage, and each has different rules and building conditions. The city’s Historic District preserves structures more than 50 years old with historical or architectural value, and changes to their exteriors are reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission. Newer subdivisions have their own homeowners associations and architectural guidelines. Properties outside city limits in Kendall County follow county and septic rules instead of city permits.
The terrain matters too. Much of the Boerne area sits on shallow soil over limestone, with oak-covered slopes and drainage toward Cibolo Creek. Additions, patios and outdoor kitchens are planned around rock, trees and runoff from the start.
What Remodeling Services Does HouseFX Offer in Boerne?
Home Remodeling
From single-room updates to full interior renovations, our Boerne home remodeling service covers layout changes, flooring, lighting, paint and finish upgrades. See that page for the full scope and process.
Kitchen Remodeling
We open closed kitchens, add islands and pantries and design cabinetry and lighting for how your family cooks. Our dedicated Boerne kitchen remodel page walks through layouts, materials and timelines.
Bathroom Remodeling
Primary bath remodels in Boerne often replace garden tubs with walk-in showers, add double vanities and improve ventilation. We also build accessible, curbless showers for aging in place. Plumbing and electrical changes are included in the building permit.
Home Additions and Room Additions
Larger Boerne lots allow primary suites, game rooms, offices and guest wings. Our room additions team matches rooflines and masonry, and we check whether added roof and paving increase impervious cover enough to require a city drainage study.
Outdoor Living, Porches and Patios
Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and front porch additions are among the most requested Boerne projects. The city treats pools, gazebos, decks, sheds, patios and fences as structural modifications that need building permits, so we include permitting in every outdoor scope.
Whole-Home and Exterior Renovation
Whole-home remodeling coordinates several rooms in one schedule. Outside, we handle home exterior renovation, siding, windows, roofing and exterior painting.

What Permits Do Boerne Remodels Require?
Inside Boerne city limits, building permits are required for structural modifications, and the city defines that broadly. According to the City of Boerne developer handbook, permitted work must be done by registered contractors, and structural modifications include pools, gazebos, decks, sheds, patios and fences as well as changes to the home itself. A drainage study may be required for any increase in impervious cover.
- City of Boerne permits: applications are handled by the city’s permitting office at 447 N. Main St., with plans, applications and certificates of insurance.
- Historic District review: additions and exterior alterations to properties in the Historic District or to landmark structures generally require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Landmark Commission. Interior changes and minor maintenance generally do not.
- Tree removal: tree removal permits are handled by the city’s Planning and Community Development department.
- HOA review: many newer Boerne subdivisions require architectural approval for exterior changes and additions.
- Kendall County (outside city limits): unincorporated properties do not receive traditional county building permits for home remodels, but septic and floodplain rules can still apply when adding bedrooms or building near creeks.
The city’s Historic District page explains the Historic Landmark Commission’s role and the Historic District Improvement Program for exterior improvements.
How Do You Remodel a Home in the Boerne Historic District?
Historic District projects succeed when the design is compatible with the original building in color, details, materials and style, which is the standard Boerne’s guidelines describe. We research the home, keep significant architectural features, place additions where they do not diminish the historic character and prepare the Certificate of Appropriateness application with drawings and material samples. Interior kitchens and baths can be fully modernized, since interior changes generally do not require a certificate.
Which Boerne Neighborhoods and Home Types Do We Work On?
We remodel across the Boerne area, and the right approach depends on the age and setting of the home.
- Downtown and Historic District homes: older limestone, wood-frame and Victorian-era houses near Main Street, where exterior work goes through the Historic Landmark Commission and interiors can be fully updated.
- Established subdivisions: 1980s to early 2000s homes in areas such as Regent Park, where garden tubs, closed kitchens and original windows are ready for updates.
- Newer master-planned communities: homes in communities such as Esperanza, where HOA architectural review applies and owners often add outdoor living, offices and upgraded finishes.
- Hill Country estates: larger homes in areas such as Cordillera Ranch and Tapatio Springs, many outside city limits, where additions, casitas and outdoor kitchens are common and septic capacity matters.
Whatever the setting, we start by confirming which rules apply to your address so the design fits the approvals you will actually need.
