The price of a home improvement job in the Rio Grande Valley depends on size, material and what sits underneath. A roof is priced by the square, a fence by the linear foot, a floor by the square foot and a remodel by what has to move. Each price comes after a free walkthrough of your house.

Why is there no fixed price list on this site?

Two houses of the same size rarely cost the same to work on. The decking under a roof, the slab under a floor and the pipes behind a kitchen wall change the job, and none of that shows up in a square footage number.

A price list would be right for one house and wrong for the next. So the number comes after David walks yours, measures it and looks at what is underneath.

What does every price we write include?

Whatever the service, the price arrives in the same shape. You can hold it next to another quote and compare line by line.

Price range02

What sets the price of each service?

What moves the price of each service, and how long a typical job takes
Service	What sets the price	How long it takes
Roofing	Squares of roof area, and how much of it is steep or cut up Material: three-tab, architectural shingle, standing seam metal or tile How many layers have to come off, and whether the decking is sound	2 to 3 days for a 1,800 square foot single-story home
Fencing	Linear feet of fence, measured on the ground and written on the estimate Material: cedar, ornamental iron, chain link, vinyl, or pipe and wire Height of the fence, and how many gates you want, since a gate costs more per foot	2 days for 150 linear feet of 6 foot privacy fence
Porches and Patios	Covered square footage, and the clear span you want between posts Whether the structure attaches to the house or stands free in the yard Whether you already have a slab, and whether it is thick and level enough	3 to 5 working days for a 12 by 20 foot attached patio cover
Flooring	Square footage, and how many doorways, closets and angles the plan has Material: porcelain tile, vinyl plank, laminate or engineered wood What has to come off first, since old tile and thinset are slow to remove	3 to 5 days for 1,200 square feet of tile in a one story house
Kitchen Remodeling	Whether a wall moves, and whether that wall carries the roof load Linear feet of cabinet, and whether the boxes are refaced or replaced Countertop material, since laminate and quartz are not the same budget	4 to 6 weeks when the kitchen keeps its current layout
Bathroom Remodeling	Size of the room, and whether the fixtures stay where they are Moving a drain, which means cutting the slab and patching it back How high the tile runs, to 6 feet or all the way to the ceiling	2 to 3 weeks for a full gut of a 5 by 8 foot hall bathroom
Home Additions	Square footage added, and whether the addition stays on one story Foundation type, since a slab on fill and a pier system are not the same cost How the new roof ties in, and how much of the old roof has to open	3 to 4 months of construction for a 400 square foot room addition
Whole Home Remodeling	Square footage, and how many rooms go down to the studs Whether you stay in the house, because phasing adds time to the schedule What the 1980s systems need: panel, supply lines, ducts and windows	8 to 16 weeks for a 1,600 square foot house done in two phases
Exterior Remodeling	Square feet of wall surface, and whether the crew works off ladders or scaffold Whether the stucco is patched and painted or cut back to the lath and rebuilt Window count and type, since one arched unit costs more than three sliders	2 to 4 days for a whole house window replacement on a single story home

Questions we get03

Before you call

Why do two quotes for the same job come in so far apart?

Usually because they are not quoting the same job. One includes new decking, haul-off and permits, and the other leaves them for later. Line items make that visible, which is why every price we write is broken out.

Can the price change once the work has started?

Only when the scope changes, for example when rotten wood turns up under a floor that looked sound. You see the new number in writing before anyone works on the change, and you decide.

Does a job far from Rio Grande City cost more?

It can. Each zone of the Valley carries its own travel rule, and we state it before you commit. South Padre Island sits about 135 minutes from the shop, and Starr County is 30 minutes or less.
