alamo heights: Your roof: Should you repair or replace it?
- 06/13/11 02:20 AM
It hasn't rained in San Antonio for a while, which means it's a good time to check out the condition of your roof. Roofing professionals get very busy when it rains, so if your roof needs work, you are more likely to get service during times when they're not patching leaks. Roofing: Repair or Replace? By: Jeanne Huber Deciding whether to repair or replace roofing is largely an exercise in timing-you don't want to reroof too soon and waste money, but you don't want to wait too long either. Eventually, all roofs wear out and need to be replaced. You don't … (10 comments)
alamo heights: SOLD! Beautifully updated home at 109 Marcia Place in Alamo Heights, San Antonio, Texas 78209
- 04/27/11 02:28 AM
The charm of Alamo Heights, San Antonio's Beverly Hills, and the convenience of all-new, updated decor come together in this lovely home. Residential development in Alamo Heights began in the 1920s, so many of the homes are set on pier-and-beam foundations and have asbestos or wood siding. This home at the southern boundary of the community, however, was built in 1970 and is on a concrete slab. It has a brick exterior, which means lower energy bills and much less maintenance. And unlike many of the homes in Alamo Heights, it has a garage: a large, 2-car garage with access to the home through the laundry/utility … (4 comments)
alamo heights: Sold! Another beautifully remodeled home at 426 Oak Glen Drive, San Antonio, TX 78209
- 02/27/11 01:39 AM
This home is in one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Antonio: Northwood. And now it has happy new owners! It had been well maintained, but there was carpet over the wood floors and original 50's tile in the bathrooms. The Florida room was an enclosed patio with another screened patio next to it. They effectively made the kitchen and dining area next to it very dark. My client opened up the space and created a sunny dining room and a third bedroom and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom to the original second bedroom. The roof of the second enclosed patio was replaced with a pergola, letting floods of … (3 comments)
alamo heights: Is this a good sign, or a bad sign?
- 08/01/10 03:41 AM
I showed some more homes to a delightful couple on Saturday afternoon who had been looking for a fixer-upper to remodel and sell, since the husband is an experienced general contractor. I have been working with them for several months, and their lease will be up in October. They are on an automatic listing system, and on the weekends they drive by the homes that look interesting to see if they like the location. The neighborhoods they like are some of my favorites, too: Terrell Hills, Northwood, Northridge, and Bel Meade, in the north-central part of San Antonio near Fort Sam Houston, … (17 comments)

alamo heights: Terrell Hills: a great place to live in San Antonio, Texas
- 10/22/09 11:40 AM
I have lots of favorite neighborhoods. Terrell Hills is one of them. It's not only a neighborhood, it's an incorporated city, located north of downtown and west of Fort Sam Houston. My favorite neighborhoods have one thing in common: lots of trees. The homes in Terrell Hills have trees and a lot of character, varying quite a bit in architectural style, size, and price. Most of the homes range from the high $200,000s to the $600,000s.
To the left is a cottage-style three-bedroom home with a covered patio and detached garage that sold for just under $200,000 The neighborhood includes two school … (7 comments)
