Tony B. says, “Kir & Ivan are excellent handymen. Fast, clean and they got the job done right. Will be using again! Thank you!!”
Erin L. says, “Our front door frame had rot and our door was not closing properly. This team were incredibly responsive and punctual. They crafted a custom door frame that perfectly blends in with the look of our home. The carpentry work was very precise and detailed. We will def hire them again should we need some more work around the house.”
Carlos Ortiz says, “We recently hired Renovate 512 to complete several landscaping projects at our home, including masonry around a front yard flower bed, a gravel path next to our driveway, a poured concrete retaining wall in the backyard, and the installation of new St. Augustine sod. They were prompt in responding to our questions, adhered to the agreed timeline.”

Mike W. says, “Julio came out a few days after being contacted and did a thorough job of assessing my rotted fascia and roof problem. He took photos of the damage and explained exactly what would be needed to fix it. He gave me a competitive bid, with the stipulation that if more damage was discovered after pulling up a section of the roof, it might add to the cost. Luckily, the damage was limited to what he originally found. I admire him for his honesty, and professionalism, because he could have told me there was more damage that needed to be fixed to add to the cost of the job. He and his roofer got the job done in one day. They took photos to document their progress to show me exactly what work they did. After the job was completed, they cleaned up and hauled away all the debris. I highly recommend this pro for any trim or roof damage you might need repaired.”
Carley B. says, “Kaleb is fantastic! Great quality, flexible, professional. Will use again and highly recommend!”
Rey G. says, “He left the work area clean and finished in a timely manner. We will be using him again very soon.”
Joshua H. says, “Ruben and team have done several remodeling projects for us now, and we’re about to kick off the next one with them! They’ve quickly become our go-to contractor — Ruben is a great guy to work with, easy communication, prices work fairly, and the crew is kind, respectful, and excellent at their trades. We’ve worked with several other contractors here in Austin with mixed experiences, but I’ve only got positive things to say about Lakehill — highly recommended.”
Bobby D. says, “Jared’s an exceptional craftsman and experienced contractor. He transformed my small bathroom into a charming room. His skill and work ethic are truly outstanding.”
