Service specs · Helotes
Built for Helotes owners.
Helotes feels rural compared to inner San Antonio — properties are larger, the boat-and-trailer rigs are common in driveways, and Medina Lake is just 25 minutes west. We work Helotes driveways year-round for boat-and-RV combos and the smaller fleet of home-strip experimental airplanes northwest of the city.
Owner profile. Helotes is the family-property northwest fringe of San Antonio. Driveways are big enough for boats and trailers, and owners typically trailer to Medina Lake (closest) and Canyon Lake. RV storage is plentiful, and most rigs are family-use travel trailers and 5th wheels.
Travel trailers are the gateway RV. They're towed by SUVs, half-ton trucks, and minivans across Texas every weekend. They range from compact 16-foot Casitas (fiberglass eggs with cult-level owner loyalty) to 35-foot Grand Design Imagines with full slide-outs and cathedral ceilings. The challenge with travel trailers is variety — every brand uses different cladding (smooth fiberglass, aluminum siding, fiberglass with graphics, full-paint), and the right detail process depends on which one you have. Then there's Airstream, which is its own universe: polished aluminum that needs hand-polish with specialty compound, not normal RV chemistry.

Travel trailers protocol — Helotes edition.
Walk-around: front cap hail check, sidewall oxidation level, roof condition, awning, slides, propane and battery compartment.
Pre-wash with bug remover on the front cap (always gets the worst of it from highway towing).
Pressure rinse top-down with soft water.
Hand-wash with surface-appropriate soap — fiberglass gets one product, aluminum siding gets another, Airstream aluminum gets a dedicated polish-prep wash.
For Airstream: three-step polish (acidic cleaner, polish, sealant) by hand with specific Airstream products like Cyclo or Hagerty. No shortcuts.
For fiberglass and aluminum-clad trailers: DA polisher with fiberglass-appropriate compound, single or two-stage based on oxidation.
Roof treatment: TPO/EPDM rubber roofs get a rubber-specific UV protectant; fiberglass roofs get fiberglass protectant. Inspect seals around AC unit, vents, antenna.
Decals and graphics: polished with vinyl-safe compound. Faded graphics get a brightener pass.
Slide-out service: seal conditioning, mechanism wipe.
Awning brush-cleaned with mildew remover.
External: propane tank wipe, sewer hose compartment, battery compartment, leveling jack feet.
Optional interior service: vacuum, cushions, dinette, bathroom, galley.
What's included.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Helotes home driveways, storage yards, and resort sites are all part of our regular Helotes route. We bring our own water and power so site hookups aren't required.
Yes — we do the proper three-step hand polish with Airstream-grade products (Cyclo cleaner, polish, sealant or Hagerty equivalents). An older shell may need multiple visits to bring back the mirror finish; a newer one needs maintenance polish annually. We've worked on Bambis through Classics.
Polishing won't fix hail dimples — those need paintless dent repair (PDR) or a fiberglass repair shop. What we do is polish out the surface oxidation around the dimples, refresh the gelcoat, and refer you to a trusted PDR tech for the actual dimple work.
Yes. TPO and EPDM roofs each get a rubber-specific UV protectant. We never use fiberglass protectant on a rubber roof and vice versa. We also inspect seals around AC shrouds, vents, and the front cap and flag anything that's lifting.
Yes. Storage yard service is one of our most common bookings — we come to the yard, fully self-contained with water and power, and do the detail on the spot. Trailer must be accessible (we need to walk around it).
Yes. Interior-only is available — vacuum, cushions, dinette, bathroom and galley sanitize, headliner spot-clean. Especially useful before listing for sale.
A 16-20 ft Casita or small fiberglass starts at $400. A 24-28 ft Jayco or Grand Design with mild oxidation runs $700-900. A 32-35 ft luxury trailer with heavy polish work and ceramic coating runs $1,000-1,400. Airstream full polish is quoted separately based on shell condition.
Park it. We'll handle it.
Same care, every job. We come to your Helotes driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
