Local service
Proudly serving Lockhart
Lockhart lies about 20 minutes east of San Marcos, on the blackland prairie where the soil is heavy clay and the housing stock is a mix of older brick homes near the square and newer subdivisions spreading out along Highway 183. The weather here is hot and humid in the summer, with clay soils that shift when they dry out, which can crack foundations and stick doors. The town is growing, with new builds going up alongside century-old houses that need careful handyman work and remodels.
Our crew drives from San Marcos to Lockhart each morning with the tools and materials for the day's jobs. We work on site, setting up in the driveway or the yard, and we keep the mess contained with tarps and a shop vac. When we finish, we sweep up, load the debris, and leave the place as clean as we found it. Being this close to Lockhart means we know the clay soil and the older construction, and we show up ready to handle whatever the job requires.

What Lockhart homeowners call us for
Handyman Repairs
We get called for the small fixes that keep a Lockhart home running: sticking doors from clay-heaved foundations, leaky faucets, and patching drywall in older brick houses.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom remodels in Lockhart often involve updating a mid-century bath with new tile, a walk-in shower, and fixtures that work with the local water and the home's existing plumbing.
Painting
Exterior painting here has to stick to brick and wood siding through the humidity. We prep and paint with high-quality primers and paints that resist peeling in the Lockhart climate.
Flooring
We install flooring over the clay-soil subfloors common in Lockhart, using underlayment that handles moisture and movement. Options include luxury vinyl plank, tile, and hardwood.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Lockhart
Bathroom Remodels
We gut the old bathroom, replace the subfloor if needed, install new tile, a vanity, a toilet, and a shower or tub, and finish with paint and trim. We also update the lighting and ventilation.
Interior and Exterior Painting
We prep the surfaces by cleaning, scraping, and priming, then apply two coats of paint. For exteriors, we use a sprayer and back-roll to get good coverage on brick and wood siding.

Where we work
Across Lockhart
The Town Square
Around the historic courthouse square, we work on older brick homes and commercial buildings that need careful repairs, painting, and bathroom remodels that respect the original architecture.
Highway 183 Corridor
Along the 183 corridor, we handle handyman repairs and remodels in the newer subdivisions and the older ranch-style homes that line the highway. The work here is a mix of maintenance and updates.
Outlying Properties
On the acreage east and west of town, we do full remodels and handyman work on houses that sit on larger lots, often with septic systems and well water, where the clay soil drives the foundation work.

Building Permits for Remodels
The city of Lockhart issues permits for structural work, plumbing changes, and electrical work. For properties outside the city limits, Hays County handles the permits. We recommend you check with the city or county before we start any major remodel.

“John and his team are very reliable and get the job done! We were in desperate need of same day service and he came through when no one else would! Highly recommend him and his company!”

“I am extremely happy with the work that was done. The job included removing a closet and built-in drawers, repainting the room, and matching existing hardwood floors where the closet was removed. They did an excellent job piecing the hardwood together so it blends seamlessly with the original floor. You honestly cannot tell it was ever modified.”

“John did a great job on our whole house remodel, paint, new bath update, new kitchen, floors, electrical, plumbing, water heater, ext paint, etc. I love the pics he sent for updates along the way. Any changes were spoken about, approved and put in writing. Payment process along the way was easy. Finished product was nice and clean.”

“We mandated John to build a screened in porch. They provided expert advice on things we did not know. Their proposal was a reasonable price. For the quality of the work, their price is actually exceptional value. They updated us on the work progress almost everyday. The result is fantastic.”
