Lori Axler Miranda says, “Kir and his team did a great job repairing and staining our large Ipe deck. Would definitely recommend.”
Michael Reeder says, “After research of deck contractors, I chose Green Hill Remodeling to fix the deck. They did what they said they were going to do, on time and excellent quality work. I recommend them. - Mike R.”
Michel Deeter says, “I really respect and appreciate that.We had a piece of beautiful quartzite which was broken by the previous contractor so we needed two pieces with a seam to fit our guest vanity countertop and backsplash. I was blown away when I saw (or didn't see!) the nearly indiscernible seam in the final product, perfectly lined up with the seam in the backsplash of the same material. It was beautiful and much better than I'd expected and even hoped.We also asked them to restore our Alder wood vanities, both master and guest, with a like color and tactile finish. Again, they did painstaking work, protected our property from the inevitable dust, and matched the color and finish perfectly. The results were much better than I had even hoped after my previous experience.The price was fair. The work was great. What's not to like? See before and after photos. Note especially the vast improvement on the vanity wood damage (before) and the lack of a discernible seam on the countertop and backsplash. Thanks, Raz, Isaac and Antonio!”
Mark S. says, “We built a fairly large deck on the back of our house. There were a few challenges with work order changes, timing and communication but through it all LFM upheld there end and the result was excellent!! We will certainly use them again for a pergola over the deck in the Spring as well as some landscaping features and to rebuild a large patio on the side of our house. Highly recommend LFM!!!”
Omar G. says, “Commercial projects completed- professional contractors, handled and coordinated city permits/approvals. Project manager Eli provides excellent communication of progress with pictures several times per week. Very Honest, dependable, and reliable; they finished both of our retail construction projects ahead of schedule. They are reasonable and transparent with all costs. The entire team at Nu Horizon Remodeling are committed to quality and ensuring the project is completed as expected. We highly recommend this company, they have completed two commercial retail projects for us in the past 6 months in Austin and San Antonio, we will continue to use them.”
Karen M. says, “I have had my fair share of contractors who walk when things don’t go smoothly or when I get fussy (polite wording here), but not James. I also must give a shout out to his office team lead by Trista. They were always responsive and polite (and believe me I could make a saint cry!). My appreciation goes out to you and your staff. Finally, once again, I want to thank you, James, for sticking with me and easing my frustrations and worries. If I am ever crazy enough to do something like this again, I will be calling.”
Logan B. says, “Pricing was very reasonable and very competitive with other design/build contractors.”
Jake J. says, “Central Pacific took over our bathroom remodel after another contractor left us mid-project. I was impressed with the efficiency and quality of work, Central Pacific was very transparent. They set expectations, and in the end, exceeded those expectations.”
Richard B. says, “I would definitely recommend Inlay Construction to anyone looking for quality work and a contractor they can trust!”
David Q. says, “The drywall, patching, and painting work that Lakehill Remodeling did in my bathroom was great! Some drywall on teh ceiling had to be replaced as well as repairing an old leak from a skylight. They also painted the entire room. All of this was done in one day! They were responsive and very communicative from the start, and the work was professional and quick. I would recommend them highly.”
