Live Oak Home Access provides CAPS-certified accessibility remodeling throughout Boerne and Kendall County, including curbless showers, stair lifts, grab bars, and full bathroom remodels for Esperanza, Cordillera Ranch, and surrounding communities. We help homeowners stay safely and comfortably in the homes they love, without compromising on Hill Country finishes or design.
Serving Boerne & Kendall County
Boerne attracts people who put real thought into where they want to live. When a step-over tub, a narrow doorway, or a staircase starts to feel like a barrier, it does not mean it is time to leave — it means it is time for the right remodel.
We are a CAPS-certified, family-owned team based in nearby Dripping Springs. We serve the entire Boerne and Kendall County area and have firsthand familiarity with the local building department, HOA review processes, and the Hill Country terrain that shapes so many properties here. Our work is licensed, insured, and backed by a written workmanship warranty.
No pressure, no obligation. We come to you, assess your home, and give you clear options in writing.
Who we serve here
Roughly one in five Kendall County residents is age 65 or older — a share that has grown steadily as Boerne's reputation as a destination for active adults has spread across Texas and beyond. This is not a community of people winding down. It is a community of people who planned carefully, chose a place with a strong sense of history, outdoor access, and a genuinely livable downtown, and fully intend to stay.
Two communities in particular reflect this well. Esperanza, on the northwest side of Boerne, is one of the area's most popular master-planned active-adult neighborhoods, with resort-style amenities and homes designed to appeal to buyers 55 and up. Cordillera Ranch, a few miles north of Boerne on Highway 46, is a large-lot Hill Country estate community where many residents have lived for 15 to 20 years and have no interest in leaving — but whose homes were built in an era when universal design was not yet standard. Single-story custom homes on limestone slabs with step-over tub surrounds, narrow guest-bath doorways, and staircases to bonus rooms are common throughout both communities.
We also see high demand from established neighborhoods closer to Boerne's historic downtown — Cascade Hills, Country Hollow, and the ranch-style homes along FM 474 and IH-10 frontage roads — where longtime residents want to stay put and simply need the right modifications to do so safely.
Our assessments are designed around the real homes people live in here: sprawling single-story layouts with long hallways, homes with a primary suite upstairs, guest casitas, and Hill Country terrain that creates natural grade changes at entryways and garages. We know these challenges and we know how to solve them beautifully.

What Boerne homeowners request most
Our work in the Boerne area tends to reflect the homes here: high-quality construction from the 1990s through 2010s, generous square footage, and finishes that homeowners are proud of. Our modifications are designed to match — or exceed — the existing quality of your home.
A complete redesign around your needs — curbless shower, comfort-height toilet, wider doorway, lever hardware, blocking for grab bars, and lighting upgrades. We work in the finishes you choose, not generic contractor grade.
Converting a step-over tub or standard shower to a roll-in or curbless design is one of the most impactful changes a Boerne homeowner can make. We use large-format tile, frameless glass, built-in niches, and fold-down seating — all flush with the quality of the homes in Cordillera Ranch and Esperanza.
Many Boerne homes — particularly those in Cordillera Ranch with bonus rooms or second-floor primary suites — have a staircase that becomes the limiting factor. A properly fitted stair lift restores full access to every floor. We supply, install, and service residential stair lifts sized for straight and curved stairs.
Properly anchored grab bars — installed into wall blocking, not just drywall — are one of the highest-value safety investments in any home. We carry bars in a range of finishes that complement brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze hardware common in Boerne homes, so safety does not look like an afterthought.
Local project work
We have completed accessible remodels throughout Kendall County — primary bathrooms in Cordillera Ranch estate homes, guest-bath safety upgrades in Esperanza, stair lift installations in two-story homes along the Highway 46 corridor, and grab-bar packages in older downtown Boerne properties with original tile work we preserved carefully.
Every project gets the same level of care: a written scope, daily cleanup, floor protection, and a final walkthrough with the homeowner before we consider it done.

Local considerations
Working in Boerne and Kendall County means navigating a few factors that are specific to this area. We handle all of it — you do not need to become an expert in local code to get your project done.
Structural modifications — including doorway widening, installation of grab bar blocking behind drywall, and plumbing changes for curbless shower conversions — typically require a permit from the City of Boerne Development Services or, for unincorporated county addresses, from Kendall County. We pull all required permits on your behalf, schedule inspections, and ensure the finished work passes final inspection. You get a clear, inspected, code-compliant result.
Both Esperanza and Cordillera Ranch have active homeowners' associations with architectural review committees that govern exterior changes. Ramp additions, exterior handrail modifications, and visible structural changes to the front entry typically require prior written approval. We prepare the documentation packages — drawings, material specifications, and product sheets — needed for HOA submission. We have gone through this process in both communities and know what each committee typically looks for. Interior modifications are generally not subject to HOA review.
Boerne's limestone terrain means many homes — especially larger properties in Cordillera Ranch — sit on lots with natural grade variation that creates step-ups at secondary entries, garages, and back patios. These are often the first places a trip-and-fall occurs. We assess every entry point, not just the front door, and can design custom aluminum or pressure-treated timber ramps, step handrails, and threshold ramps appropriate for the terrain. We select materials that hold up in the Texas heat and Central Texas limestone dust without looking institutional.
Paying for your project
Accessibility modifications are an investment, and there are programs that can help offset the cost. Here is a plain-language overview of what is typically available to Boerne-area residents. We help with paperwork; not medical, legal, or financial advice — verify current program details.

Nearby communities
In addition to Boerne and Kendall County, our team regularly works in surrounding communities throughout the Central Texas region, including Fair Oaks Ranch, Helotes, New Braunfels, Bulverde, Spring Branch, Comfort, and the San Antonio metro's northwest suburbs. If you are not sure whether we reach your address, call or text us at (512) 797-6518 — we are happy to confirm availability.
Yes. We work throughout both master-planned communities and understand their HOA design review processes. We coordinate the necessary approval documentation so the project moves smoothly from permit to final walkthrough.
Well-designed accessibility improvements — curbless showers, lever hardware, comfort-height toilets — are increasingly valued by the Boerne buyer pool, which skews older and increasingly expects universal-design features. Our CAPS-certified team designs finishes that are both functional and consistent with the Hill Country aesthetic common in Kendall County homes.
Most single-bathroom projects run one to three weeks once materials arrive. We work in phases to keep at least one usable bathroom available at all times, protect your floors daily, and clean up before we leave each afternoon. We schedule around your routine, not ours.
A full bathroom remodel in Boerne typically ranges from $15,000 to $35,000 depending on layout, materials, and finishes. A curbless shower conversion alone often runs $8,000 to $18,000. We provide written estimates upfront and help you understand what different options cost. VA HISA grants, Medicaid waivers, or home equity can offset expenses — ask us during your assessment.
