306 Sousa Before and After
Infusion Homes has just completed its latest renovation project located at 306 Sousa in the Timberwood Park subdivision. Timberwood Park is an older established neighborhood located a few miles north of San Antonio out 281N. Timberwood Park lot sizes range between about 1/2 acre to 1 acre and between about 20 years in age to brand new construction. Aside from the large lot sizes, Timberwood also benefits from being in the Comal ISD plus home owners don’t have to pay city taxes.

The Infusion project house is a 20 year old 3/2/3 with 1953 sq ft. The architectural elements in the house are 4 side rock exterior, an open floor plan, high ceilings, rock fireplace, sunken living area, sunken master bedroom with large bath and walk in closet, and circular driveway. Another big bonus in the addition of a detached 3rd car garage located in the back of the property as a free standing building.

The challenges faced during renovation were the roof, saltillo tiles that were worn and faded, over grown plantings, and a heavy Monterrey drag wall finish throughout the house. In general the house was in good shape, but was simply style improperly from the onset and amplified by years of neglect. In order to update the home Infusion performed the following renovations:

Exterior Renovations

  • New roof- a 50 year roof was put on the main house and detached studio/garage
  • New Paint - changed paint colors from tans/reds to gray/yellow
  • Plant Removal - removed all overgrown plants and bushes and replaced with new sod
  • Front Porch Tile- removed old saltillo tile and replaced with 20″ porcelain tiles
  • Back Deck Stain - stained back deck in dark brown and added polyurethane seal
