Zander Homes was referred to us by our engineer friend, thank goodness. We had spent a long time…read moredetermining who we'd trust for a new build since Harvey was our second flood in 30 years and the end of our 1950 home. After numerous meetings with big box builders and individual contractors, we learned of Zander Homes' paramount principle of building relationships when building a home. That core value was reflected in their honest, responsive communication and concern for our needs. They were always accessible, easy to work with and genuine in our interactions. Their professionalism of delivering excellent quality service and workmanship at a reasonable cost was outstanding. We are so grateful for Zander Homes' level of expertise and attention to detail. Our beautiful new home is designed so we can age-in-place, even with all the new Houston floodplain requirements. We highly recommend this award-winning custom home builder. Thank you Justin, Rick, Tanessia, Alfred and all the hard-working, courteous subcontractors involved with our project. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for getting us back home. Eileen and John D.

We recently engaged Instamax Construction to finish our basement. We are extremely satisfied with…read moreour choice of contractors. We spent several months in the design phase where they presented multiple options for us to choose from. They are professional and very patient, as together, we continued to change and tweak the plans until we were completely satisfied with the layout and design of our new basement. The design meetings were always productive and never rushed. We appreciated the frequency and availability of the meetings as well. We are beyond excited to start the construction phase of our project. I highly recommend Instamax Construction - they are outstanding.

This company left me in a bind, cost me thousands of unnecessary dollars, and left me with an…read moreunfinished house that I will now need to hire someone else to finish because he refuses to answer my pleas to do what he promised he would do. It is going on 6 months now for a job that should have been 8-12 weeks according to him. Leo and Vadim started out very nice, responsive, and communicative. He made me feel very good about using his company and the quality I could expect from his workers. He was very confident in his abilities and what he could do for me and my property. I had concerns about his estimate price and the lack of details. In several meetings before we made a deal he assured me he would take care of every concern and keep coming back until I was satisfied. He said he would put everything in writing. I had total confidence in him. Turns out his estimate was ambiguous and open to interpretation. It lacked details and I brought it to his attention. He assured me this is the way this type of estimate is done and he would make sure everything we discussed was done. He added, he would keep coming back until I was satisfied. After the work started I stopped by a few times and noticed things his workers were doing did not seem right. Things such as demo'd materials sitting on the front lawn (killing the grass in a very large area), walls and ceilings being painted without the sheet rock repairs being made, outside wall siding and eaves being painted without the rotted wood and other defects being repaired, broken window sills that water will penetrate, windows without sealant that will let water penetrate, a new roof that has many low spots and visible water retention after it rains, exposed sub flooring where he installed new floors, it is visible where he pieced scrap wood together to make patches, the sheet rock tape is coming undone from the walls where they appear to have immediately painted over the attempted sheet rock repairs in a room that once had a huge hole in it, they used copper water pipe to install gas lines from the water heater to the washer location, I cannot feel any air coming from at least 4 of the ac vents throughout the house (this was supposed to be a new ac system), they used the 2x4 wall (less than 1.5 inches of air space) as the return air, They left construction debris all throughout the house and yard and told me I was supposed to clean it up, he promised a kitchen package including a stove, oven, and dishwasher then told me he couldn't install the dishwasher and he would give me $200 off of the price, The vent-hood/microwave combination is installed about 12 inches above the gas cook-top, the vent-hood/microwave cord runs along the wall exposed to the gas cook-top, the duct for the vent-hood directly exhausts into the attic around combustible materials, some of the cabinet doors do not open and some that do are difficult to move, the sink light is now missing and has a round plate screwed on to cover the hole, the new disposal sounds as if it will fall out of the sink at any minute, the bathroom closet door is missing but the door track is still there but just painted over, one bedroom is missing a ceiling fan he promised in the estimate and in its place is a fixture that is so loose on the ceiling it will most likely fall down at any minute and is also installed about 2 feet from center of the room, I could go on and on. I still do not have warranty paperwork for the new roof, the new a/c, the two appliances he did install, the foundation work he said he completed, or anything else I should have a written guarantee/warranty for. This review was much longer with more details and examples but I had to edit it because it was too long to post. If you use Leo or Instamax, be sure to get detailed estimates in writing, and a signed contract with a detailed timeline before you give him any money and before you get yourself into a situation where time is not on your side. He took advantage of me in those situations and he could very well take advantage of you too. If I can find a way to post the photos here I will be happy to share his work with everyone.

I had the pleasure of hiring Stracoa Construction Services for a multitude of interior and exterior…read moreprojects. From start to finish they were spot on. Communication with Alex, Melissa and Richard was daily. They kept us updated on all work to be performed the following day as well as what was completed each day. We had no "surprises". If there was a needed change order or an idea to lower costs it was communicated immediately. To give an idea of some of the projects we had done; new roof, installed gutters around entire house and garage, major interior repair due to massive water leak on second floor that completely flooded 1st floor (walls, ceiling, stairs) new wood look tile flooring downstairs, interior design - turned my 3 1/2 car garage in to a full 2 car garage and a beautiful pool room with French doors leading to the pool, wood look tile flooring and a split AC/Heater unit. We also had the upstairs guest bathroom remodeled and our front door replaced. I am already planning my next project and Stracoa will be my go to contractor. I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed. I added a few photos of the pool room and front door.

I sourced the flooring, door, and light fixtures. They handled improving the bracing, installing subfloor, additional bracing in the walls, dry wall, painting, texture, installation of the door, electrical outlets and installation of the flooring. The storage room that they completed is my favorite room of my home. The flooring was installed perfectly and there isn't a pop or squeak in the whole room. I wish that these guys had built my whole home. The project Manager Alex was very hands on, and he worked on-site most days. In the event that he would go to another job site he would let me know the plan for the day and generally check in on his return, or at the end of the day. The team kept a clean jobsite and would clean up at the end of every work day. I would have no hesitation on hiring them and I plan on hiring them in the near future for some additional work around the home.
