What we build

Four kinds of work, all done by our own crew. When a job needs a licensed plumber or electrician, we schedule and supervise them for you.

  • Kitchen remodeling

    New layouts, cabinetry, counters and tile, planned around how your household actually cooks.

    • Layout changes and cabinetry
    • Quartz, granite and butcher block
    • Tile backsplashes and flooring

  • Bathroom remodeling

    Walk-in showers, tub replacements and vanities, waterproofed properly behind the tile.

    • Walk-in and curbless showers
    • Tub-to-shower conversions
    • Vanities, lighting and fixtures

  • Patios, decks & pergolas

    Covered patios, cedar pergolas and decks that make the yard usable through a Texas July.

    • Covered patios and pergolas
    • Cedar and composite decks
    • Outdoor kitchens and fire features

  • Deck & fence restoration

    Repairs, sanding and stain for gray, splintered wood that is still structurally sound.

    • Board, rail and post repair
    • Sanding, cleaning and stain
    • Fence repair and refinishing

Gray, splintered wood can usually be saved

Most decks around San Antonio turn silver within two summers. If the frame is sound, we replace the bad boards, sand, clean and seal the rest, for a fraction of the cost of a rebuild.

  • Board-by-board inspection before we quote
  • Sanding, cleaning and a penetrating oil stain
  • A reminder when it is time to re-coat

How every job runs

The same four steps for a vanity swap or a full outdoor kitchen.

  1. Walk the space together

    A free visit at your home. We measure, listen and talk through budget ranges before anything is drawn.

  2. Get a fixed written quote

    Scope, materials, schedule and one price, in writing. The number does not move unless you change the plan.

  3. Build with one crew lead

    The same lead is on site every day and sends you a short update each evening. The site is swept before we leave.

  4. Walk through and sign off

    We go over every detail with you, fix anything on the punch list and hand over the warranty paperwork.

Two trades under one roof

Mesquite & Mortar started in 2012 as a two-person crew: a finish carpenter and a tile setter. The name is the work itself, mesquite for the woodwork and mortar for the tile and stone.

We have grown, but we still keep every trade we can in-house and run one job per crew lead at a time. It is slower to scale, and it is why our schedules hold.

  • Fixed prices

    The quote is the price. It only changes when you ask for a change, in writing.

  • Clean sites

    Dust walls, floor protection and a sweep before we leave, every day.

  • One point of contact

    Your crew lead answers the phone and sends a short update each evening.

  • Work we stand behind

    2 years on our workmanship, on top of manufacturer warranties.

  • Kitchen with gray shaker cabinets, a navy accent wall with floating wood shelves and an exposed brick column
  • Bathroom with white herringbone wall tile around a tub, a gray shaker vanity, a round mirror and black fixtures
  • Farmhouse sink with a tall pull-down faucet under a three-panel bay window, framed by white glass-front cabinets
  • Backyard deck with a long bench table, cushions, potted plants and a corrugated metal privacy screen

  • “We needed a walk-in shower before my mother moved in with us. It was finished in eleven working days, and the tile lines are dead straight.”

    Bathroom remodelHomeowner in HelotesSample review

  • “Our deck was gray and splintering. They replaced nine boards, sanded the rest and stained it. It cost about a third of the rebuild quotes we had.”
