Most contractors do one thing. VAN General Contracting does the full scope from foundation repair, structural reinforcement, commercial roofing, to the complete range of general contracting services that keep residential and commercial properties across San Antonio safe, functional, and built to last.
Whether you need a concrete driveway poured, a drainage system designed and installed, a retaining wall built or repaired, or a commercial renovation managed from start to finish, you’re working with a licensed general contractor in San Antonio who brings structural expertise to every project. Since our founding, we have completed hundreds of residential and commercial projects across Bexar County, and we carry a 5-star Google rating and A+ BBB accreditation across every service we deliver.
A general contractor manages construction projects from planning through completion; coordinating labour, materials, permits, and inspections so the project runs on schedule and closes cleanly. Most general contractors subcontract structural work to outside specialists when it comes up. VAN General Contracting self-performs foundation repair, structural reinforcement, waterproofing, and concrete work in-house, which means no project delays when a renovation uncovers a structural issue and no finger-pointing between separate contractors when a problem needs resolving.
That structural capability is VAN’s core differentiator in the San Antonio market. One licensed contractor, one point of accountability for the full scope of work from slab to roof.

New driveways generally run $6–$12 per sq ft; patios and slabs $5–$10 per sq ft; driveway repair $3–$7 per sq ft depending on damage extent. Retaining walls run $20–$45 per square foot of wall face.
Projects involving structural modifications, additions, drainage systems, and most commercial work require licensed contractor involvement and building permits from the City of San Antonio. VAN General Contracting is fully licensed in Texas and handles all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance documentation as part of our project scope.
Yes, that's VAN's core advantage over both pure remodelers and pure concrete contractors in San Antonio. If your renovation uncovers a foundation issue, drainage problem, or structural deficiency, we assess and address it without stopping work to bring in a separate contractor. One scope, one contract, one point of accountability through completion.
Repair is appropriate when the wall structure is sound but individual sections are cracking, joints are separating, or drainage behind the wall is failing. Replacement is warranted when the wall is leaning beyond correction, the structural integrity of the block or poured system is compromised, or the original wall was under-engineered for its height and soil load.
Yes. French drain installation, lot regrading, surface drainage correction, and drainage swale design are available as standalone services for residential and commercial properties. Because VAN also handles foundation repair and waterproofing in-house, drainage systems we install are designed as part of a complete moisture management strategy.
