Make room for another bedroom, improve a busy kitchen or add a deck to your San Marcos home. Ambassador Construction brings design, remodeling and building services together to help you turn those ideas into useful spaces.
The San Marcos River and riverfront places such as Rio Vista Park are familiar parts of the city. We serve San Marcos homeowners with projects ranging from changes inside the house to new outdoor living areas.
Connect an addition to everyday life
Before deciding how large an addition should be, identify the problem it needs to solve. A separate bedroom, a larger living area and a quiet workspace each need different relationships to the rest of the house. Sketch how people would enter the new room and move through the rooms beside it.
Try placing your furniture on that sketch. A generous footprint can still feel awkward if doorways leave little usable wall space or the route to the yard crosses the middle of a seating area. Storage and the location of windows also deserve attention before finishes take over the discussion.
Consider what happens to the existing rooms when new space is added. A room that becomes a passageway may need its own changes. Ambassador can help develop the design and review the related remodeling and framing, so the proposal accounts for the connection as well as the new room.

Questions about your construction project
What should I bring to an addition consultation?
Bring any existing plans, a list of the rooms or functions you need, and examples of layouts you like. Notes about what does not work in the current house are useful starting points. Our design process begins with your ideas and a review of the site.
Can you work with plans I already have?
Yes. Ambassador Construction can build from existing plans or help develop a new design. Bring the plans and explain any changes you would like to discuss.
How is my construction estimate calculated?
We review each project individually, considering its complexity and your preferences, to prepare a detailed quote. Pricing reflects the proposed work and current material costs.
What deposit is normally required?
We typically require a 10% deposit, with the remaining balance paid according to project milestones.
How long is a written estimate valid?
Our written estimates are typically valid for 30 days. We notify customers of material-cost changes before proceeding.
What happens if I change the project?
Changes are documented with updated written pricing and approved by the customer before proceeding.
What happens if you uncover unexpected damage?
We document unexpected damage with photos and provide a revised estimate before additional repairs. Updated work and pricing require customer approval before we proceed.
Does the quote include removal and disposal?
Removal and disposal are generally included in our quoted price unless otherwise specified.
