It's quite possible this isn't even a real business, but rather just a fall guy for Perkins Flooring, which I reviewed separately. Just in case, I will give EVCO the benefit of a review; it's the least I can do for them after they scammed me out of over $2000. Let me just keep it short and simple and refer you to the Perkins Flooring review, which gives the long version of the story (http://www.yelp.com/biz/perkins-flooring-austin?hrid=nUKLAKZtJUAAzOOyJ0gRNw). The work this contractor was shoddy in every respect, and they don't take any responsibility for their mistakes. The principal made me sign a contract (I'll never fall for this one again) which he is now using to try to insist I pay them the remainder of what I "owe" even though they didn't finish the work and left me with an unusable subfloor that I will now have to tear out at my expense and find someone else to construct again. There are many disreputable, sleazy construction contractors in Austin and also a few good and honest ones. Try and find one of the honest ones. If the person you're hiring is kind of pushy and insistent that you sign a contract with a lot of questionable clauses (must go to arbitration in case of a dispute, etc..) take this as a sign that they have been in many disputes with previous customers and make your exit as quickly as possible. You don't want to be one of those customers; i.e. you don't want to be me: out over $2000 and further away from my goal than I was when I started. read more

I would just like to start out by saying finding reliable & good quality contractors in our area where they are so vast is not as easy to find as one might think! The best way to find someone or something we can trust is by reputation or recommendation ... am I right? Now where do we go for that?? hmmmm??? I wonder... I am blogging my review from my own personal experience for my home & a friend/neighbor's home done by Evco Remodeling. The project-to keep simple was for new countertops, back splash & all new fixtures in our home to prepare it to sell. After calling and personally speaking with the owner, Roger, I felt more than comfortable setting an appointment. He answered almost all of my bazillion & bizarre questions as I was pretty much trying to force a quote over the phone :) The next day the hubby & I met with him and just by him being so accurate with the "pre-quote" over the phone and his professional advice & demeanor my we decided he had more knowledge than the previous contractors we had met. We went forward. Roger went over a simple 2 page contract with us binding us together (which I do NOT agree with the guys comment below WHATSOEVER, I think there should be a contract in place... for your protection and theirs) and then we paid half of our price at the time we signed and was told we would pay the rest on the last day! Work started almost IMMEDIATLY... the men were very nice, dressed appropriately and in hopes to not "offended" anyone reading this I'll keep it simple by saying these were not your usual contractors coming into our home. They were polite, clean, wiped their feet and I could tell they were really going out of their ways to make my family and I feel comfortable while in our space- which most certainly has to be harder said than done! I watched as the work was being done and never questioned if something was right or wrong, never had any worries, issues about them showing up on time, or work not getting finished. The owner would call and ask how things were going and he was also stopping by and doing MUCH supervising! I basically never had any questions on concerns with the work being done. All said and done my home turned out to beautiful... almost to the point my husband and I didn't want to sell anymore!!!! :) It was like a brand new home!! Who would of known what a HUGE difference a little remodeling can do for your house! If it wasn't for our relocation back to Houston I would still be there now. Just keep in mind if you are in the Austin area and need remodeling that Evco treated me AMAZING from start to finish. The work, people & prices were great and completely exceeded our expectations. So, if you, fellow yelper, need a great remodeling company my experience is well worth you giving them a chance! They 100% have my recommendation! read more

5 stars isn't enough. This company has renovated 2 of my homes now and I won't ever use anyone else. Roger goes above and beyond, the quality of his work is impeccable. They are clean, tidy, and respectful. If you're looking for a reliable, dependable, honest company. Look no further. Here's my seal of approval. read more

Roger and his company completed a short but very detailed renovation in our new house. we had a very short time frame in which to complete the work before we had to move in. even though the original deadline was not kept (due to unexpected delays as expected with any type of home improvement project), Roger made sure that the big important stuff like painting, electrical, fireplace redo, and installing new light fixtures and a new over the island vent hood, where completed before the move in day. what was left after that where small detailed finishes that required more time and attention. All of the professionals that Roger employed where impeccable, very respectful to us and to the home itself, and did their jobs to the highest level even in the face of unexpected challenges. Roger himself is somewhat of a perfectionist, and pays attention to the smallest of details, and i guess he holds his workers to the same standards. even though the work took longer than originally expected, we were extremely pleased with the final results, and the pricing, and would gladly work with this company again. read more

I would recommend Roger Evans. He just finished our downstairs and we are very pleased. We lived in our home while the renovations were being done. Roger worked with us and was patient with the estimate process as we added and changed some parts of the project. The contract reflected everything that was in the final estimate and Roger met with us in person so that we understood everything in the contract before signing. His crew: removed popcorn ceiling & paneling, texturized the ceiling and sheetrock, removed walls, added a beam, replaced flooring (installed wood and tile), installed new baseboards throughout the downstairs, installed new window sills, painted all the walls and ceilings, removed carpet on stairs and replaced with wood then stained the handrails & newels and painted the balusters (gorgeous!), added a barn door which was built on site, added can lights in 2 rooms and a ceiling fan and hung 2 light fixtures. All of his crew were talented and hardworking. His estimate was "spot on" with very few add-ons which were "unexpecteds" that could not have been foreseen. Roger followed up with everything on our punch list and has done several walk throughs. He communicated with us re: timeline so that we knew when the work would be done, i.e. when to expect workers to arrive and leave daily. The crew cleaned up before they left each evening (3+ weeks) and took trash to the agreed upon on site trash storage that was then taken to the dump twice during our project. I would highly recommend Roger. We plan on doing more renovations (upstairs) and will use Roger again for those projects. read more

I wanted to upgrade my kitchen and dining room to my 26 y/o home but didn't know where to start. Roger was very helpful in knowing what needed to be done, explained the process and quoted me a very good price. His crew was absolutely committed, professional, and knowledgeable in their field. They wasted no time in doing a fantastic job and was very meticulous in detail. His team resurfaced my cabinets from outdated varnish to trendy gray. The electrical and other modifications are too breath taking to express. My kitchen looks like something out of "house beautiful". Roger was very patient with me and answered any questions I had along the way. He assured me in every step of the way. Upon completion, we were so overwhelmed! My husband and I sit and admire our breathtakingly beautiful, new kitchen and thank God, daily, that we were blessed with this talented company. Thank you, EVCO. It's beautiful! I wish I could post pics, but there would be too many!! I would recommend EVCO for any ideas or job you may have. read more

Roger and his crew recently finished an extensive remodel of our 35 year old home. His crew added a new half-bath inside the house with a sliding pocket door, added an entryway bench with storage, refinished a studio (part of the garage) into a playroom by adding a thick stepped baseboard to conceal the concrete, a barn door, utility sink and a magnetic wall, remodeled a bar into a storage closet with a slat wall, remodeled a wine closet into a mini-study, enclosed an open attic access stairway with drywall, re-floated and painted all pop-corn ceilings, painted several rooms and tiled various areas. He was very easy to work with, answered text messages promptly, met with us whenever we wanted, arranged resources as best as he could and was reasonable with the price. Project was way beyond original scope discussed and in spite of personal issues that he and his crew had to deal with and hence could not work on several days, they completed all tasks in a reasonable time frame and to our satisfaction. He accommodated all our change requests and an intermediate dead lines. Special mention about his guy Poli who did the bulk of the work except electrical, plumbing and tiling. Very hardworking and sincere. read more
