Austin Kitchen And Bath Remodelers

"The work went very smoothly with their employes arriving every morning promptly at 7:30 AM. Their professionalism was of the highest caliber and at no time were we inconvenienced in any way. Furthermore there was never any mess left overnight as they cleaned up everything before they left each day. Each and every job was on-budget and on-time and change orders ...more were not a problem. They listened to our wishes at every point and did exactly as we requested. I could not be happier with the work they did. Not only would I recommend these people to anyone looking for a quality remodeling contractor, when we have a remodeling job we want done they are the only people we call. "

"RC is very knowledgeable.   He tore out the old tiles in the shower/bath and replaced with the waterproof backerboard.  He added two indentations for the soap/shampoo holders.   The faucet I selected for my shower bath required him to do some plumbing changes in order for the fixture to work properly.  His prices are very reasonable ...more and he does excellent work.  He is a perfectionist and made sure everything is done correctly--no taking shortcuts.  He is very trustworthy also! "

"My laundry room was unfinished and had been that way for 10 years.  The rest of my floors are stained concrete.   I was concered that tile would overshadow the stained concrete.  I finally decided it had been long enough and talked about the job with .   They suggested natural stone 4x4 tiles that ...more complemented the concrete floors and would work well with the drain in the flooor.  The other big concern was the tank water heater.  

figured out how to dal with everything making it very easy on me.  The whole thing was done in a couple of days at a great price.   And, the laundry room finally looks like part of the house."

"The suggested design changes & decoration ideas completely transformed our house into a beautiful & functional place to live. Everyone who sees it is amazed at the Improvements & how wonderful our house looks."

"We'd lived in our house for over ten years, and sadly in addition to a lot of things that were structurally wrong with the house when we bought it (incorrectly installed cricket on chimney, insulation missing, flashing wrong, upstairs deck built all wrong), we hadn't properly maintained the house and it was really close to falling apart. The chimney ...more was pretty much gone, the masonite siding (common throughout our neighborhood) was cracked and peeling in a lot of places, and as

and Nic later pointed out (and showed me...they are extremely committed to educating home owners during all phases of building), we were maybe a year away from getting serious structural damage. As it was,

Property and Maintenance LLC (or

as they prefer to be called) arrived just in the nick of time. At the initial meeting when they came to look at the house to complete their estimate, these guys literally spent 90 minutes walking around the house, pointing out each problem area, telling me what needed to be done, and giving me a thorough education about what to expect from any estimates I would be getting, including common pitfalls that less-than-scrupulous builders might try to slip into estimates...warning signs (such as anyone telling you they can install siding over old siding, which believe it or not happens) and questions to ask in getting estimates. I could hardly believe that the owner and his partner personally spent so much time with me. They seemed (and later I was able to confirm that this was in fact the case) to ACTUALLY CARE about the work.

is passionate about remodeling and building. He loves his work. He actually loves it. He gets excited talking about it, and that enthusiasm is contagious - clearly, it's not just his profession, it's his hobby, and he will talk about every minute detail if you're interested. If you're not (my wife wasn't), he won't inflict a lot of information on you, but if you want to learn every detail about what he's proposing to do and why, he'll share that knowledge with you happily. I got a few estimates after I met with these guys, but to tell the truth I knew in my gut after that first meeting that

was the company I was looking for. Emotionally I knew it because of their deep knowledge and enthusiasm (and their complete lack of any kind of cheesy sales pressure or "upselling"...I never once got the feeling they were trying to "sell" me anything, and believe me that is rarely the case with companies I've hired in the past). But intellectually I understood that these were the right guys for the job because the

logic of what they were telling me made perfect sense. I could clearly see why the flashing was resulting in water being trapped and having nowhere to go but into the woodwork. I could understand that the way the trim around the windows was installed, the water would flow to the bottom piece and be trapped. Their explanation of why circulation in the roof was inadequate, resulting in horrible cooling bills, was just common sense. It horrified me that all these years these

defects in our house had been working against us. But I knew that these guys were right for the job, and after a few mediocre/bad estimates proved it I hired them for the job. Well, I won't belabor the process described above in the work that they did - I'll simply say that everything listed above was completed on time, on budget (and they refused to accept payment for overages, even when I offered to kick in a little extra - I am NOT kidding...wrap your mind around that), and everything was done beautifully. Perfectly. With attention to minute details. I work from home, so I was here the whole time, and while I certainly didn't stand outside and "supervise" or scrutinize them, I can tell you they were incredibly professional. The work didn't stop except for lunch. They didn't play blaring music, they didn't smoke (

tells me they only hire non-smokers), they didn't trash the yard, they cleaned up and secured the property everyday...in short, they were as good as you could possibly hope for. They were friendly, and clearly they shared

's enthusiasm for and commitment to quality work.

told me he'd been working with these same guys for years, and you could tell...they worked cohesively as a unit, and it showed in the completed work, which was uniformly excellent. There were a few times that

problems/damage surfaced that wasn't in the estimate (problems with the upper deck, and with the support under the siding between the garage doors). In those cases,

came to me immediately, explained the problem, offered his suggestion for addressing it and provided a revised estimate for that repair. Again, it was all very professional, and again I didn't feel like it was upselling in any way, because

could show me the damage, walk me through the implications, and make me understand what had caused it and the solution. In each case, the additional repairs made the house stronger and made me more confident that I had selected the right company. So yes, I can tell you that I was delighted with the final result. The house is beautiful, all the work was done with utmost professionalism and superior quality (I don't get the sense that any corners were cut at all...and I have gotten that feeling in the past with other contractors, especially the shady company that replaced our roof and patched parts of our chimney after a hail storm several years ago). I can attest to all that, but what I'd like to take a moment to mention all the extras they did, above and beyond what they contracted to do. Yeah, that's right...they delivered more than they promised. Countless little things (and some not so little things) that they just upped and did in the course of their other work. For instance, leaves. Our house is surrounded by trees, and the leaves are a never ending battle, a battle that we're constantly losing. Well, without being asked, because it would make it easier to make sure there were no nails and materials left behind under leaves for us to step on later, they raked the entire property, and removed about 18 huge and densely packed bags of leaves. The property, for the first time since we moved in, was leaf-free. You could walk around the house again. Can you imagine how much a landscaping company would charge for that? I can...I've tried to get the leaves removed before, raked them myself and hired people to do it. It's a pain, and it's expensive. But

didn't even include this service in their estimates, and provided this service just in the course of their work without being asked (though they did ask our permission just in case). They also cut down and removed three or four nuisance trees that were growing around the house...those kind of scrub trees that just will not die. Removed, and not a problem now. Again, free of charge. I mentioned that after they fixed the problem with the garage that the front door and door to the garage weren't sticking as much as they had been.

was puzzled by this because it shouldn't have had any impact on that. On looking at the doors he concluded that they hadn't been installed properly, and fixed them on the spot for free. Took him 15 minutes, and amazingly, the doors now open and shut effortlessly. I see I'm running out of space here, so I'll wrap it up. Why am I telling you all this? Because I want to emphasize the point, a point I have to illustrate rather than tell because otherwise you might not believe me -

is a truly great company. How many people these days deliver MORE than you pay for? How many companies actually CARE about the services they deliver? This experience has been fantastic, from start to finish. My wife and I feel like we're living in a brand-new house. It feels solid now, where for the last several years it had felt ramshackle, where we'd pretend not to see all the damage, and dread the rain because things might leak.

and Nic and their team gave us back our house. I can't recommend them highly enough. You can't go wrong with these guys. Their professionalism and generosity are incredible. (A word about the bathroom remodel...our bathroom was also in bad shape. The toilet wasn't flushing well anymore, the tub was hopelessly worn...it was the original tub, of some kind of vinyl/plastic material...very sad. We tried to just get the toilet replaced, but the idiots who we bought the house from had tiled right up to the toilet after it was installed, so we couldn't get it replaced simply.

looked at the problem, and made us a deal to remodel the entire bathroom at once that was too good to resist. The end result? Gorgeous, comfortable, and what's a big novelty for me, everything works, even the toilet! :) I know I've gushed a lot here, and I wish I could come up with something negative to say to appear more "balanced", but honestly, I have no complaints. Nothing but gratitude, and the resolve to hire

to do more work as soon as I can afford it."

"I really enjoyed working with because they did a wonderful job. He built a very special cabinet that was different and unique, he did a beautiful job. Their estimates were always right on the money and they were very nice guys, their professionalism was very good."

"We were getting our house ready to put on the , fixing 10 years of wear & tear. Walker, his son & someone who was very good with windows did the work in about 1 week. It was apparent that had a wealth of knowledge & experience. At the end, the work improved the appearance of the ...more house 100%. Mr

discussed all aspects of the work, advising where could save money & where should spend money, consulting almost daily to ensure we were on the same page. After the work was done I had the house inspected & came up with a few more items that needed to be addressed to bring house to code. For these items (phase 2) he met or exceed code. Where

exceed my expectations was on the water heater. The water heater developed a leak related to its age but was under warranty. Mr

spent well over 4 hours to make sure the water heater was replaced although both a big box store & water heater manufacturer insisted it was not their problem-his advocacy resulted in a new, cost free water heater. Mr

could easily have kicked the problem back to me to resolve, although as a disabled vet draining and moving the water heater would have been impossible for me. The cost for all this work was a bit below what I expected, I could easily have seen paying more for this quality of work. I would work with guys again in a heartbeat & recommend their services."

"We had known that we had some kind of problem with our bathroom floor for a while, and had contacted about this earlier and had him give us an estimate. The price was good, so we agreed to start work the following Monday. Unfortunately, the floor decided to give way earlier, on Thursday morning. I called ...more , and he immediately offered to have his crew start work that night if I wanted, but I deferred to the next morning. The arrived on time and

and his crew started to work immediately removing fixtures and demo'

the tile, then framing out the subfloor. They framed everything solidly, but found a hot water supply line had corroded joints and the supply line needed to be replaced.

immediately estimated the costs and stuck to the original estimate even as two other plumbing issues cropped up afterwards. The subfloor and tile went down as scheduled, and the job was completed today according to the schedule he gave me at the end of the first day of work. I'd have to commend

and his crew for their responsiveness and punctuality. It was downright refreshing compared to others I had dealt with in the past. To top it off,

were all very pleasant to have around,"
