After my last review LFM reached out and have been courteous and sent another crew out to right the wrongs as best as they could. They've also reviewed and removed the subcontractors as I've been told. While some things couldn't be undone, I can appreciate their willingness to make it right. Emilio the manager really helped take care of the final step and Alvin came through to make this project satisfactory - I would ask for them. read more

I had a representative from LFM come out to quote a small bathroom project. They were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated the detail in their quotation. Good follow up as well. I did not accept the bid as the budget was beyond my available funds but I appreciated their work. Recommended. read more

I reached out to six remodeling companies on Yelp for a bathroom remodel and some other work on a home I'm moving into. LFM Construction was one of them. Arie came out on December 23rd to provide an estimate. After not hearing back, I followed up on January 3rd but still got no response. Looks like they ghosted me. To be fair, my notes say, "Arie... didn't like the dude," so it seems the feeling was mutual. Maybe I dodged a bullet with this one! read more

Real Rating: 4.5 We used LFM to remodel our house, including our kitchen and main bathroom and closet. They also installed new floors, painted walls, removed popcorn ceilings, and updated the guest bathroom. We unexpectedly had to replace all of the wiring and insulation but those kinds of issues can be expected when you remodel a house built in the 70's. We worked with Arie and Justin. We used the WhatsUp app for communication, which was helpful. There were some challenges with communication; however, once those got resolved, things went smoothly. The crews worked hard and did beautiful work. Justin was awesome and brought some thoughtful touches to the project. We appreciated his support. read more

Update: After the heavy rain season, I noticed some leaking in my patio roof. Leo, the owner, called me and apologized and sent a team out immediately to assess the problem. They completely redid the shingles and installed a waterproof version and tested it to make sure there were no more leaks. Leo was great to work with and I really appreciate his communication and willingness to fix the problem! read more

Finished in 5 weeks, constant checkins from the project manager, Chris, to ensure our standards were met and answered all my questions throughout the whole process. Loved their work! Will definitely contact them for future projects. They were even able to install a bidet! read more

Finally did a much-needed kitchen remodel and Paolo really delivered. He was always easy to get in touch with, and his crew did an amazing job. I really appreciated how clean they left things, too. I (almost) enjoy cooking now ;) read more

We had roof and siding damage after a storm, and Carlos managed the repairs. He coordinated his team so well that everything was finished faster than we expected. What stood out was how carefully they matched the siding - you'd never know it had been replaced! read more

From day one, Arie and Justin treated the remodel like it was their own home. I could tell right away they had the experience for large projects. I did a full remodel included redoing two bathrooms, the kitchen, and converting the garage into a livable space. Now, every room feels bigger and brighter. Beyond worth it! read more

I requested home renovation quotes on Yelp and I have over 20 voicemails, texts, and messages.

LFM remodeling is great, Skender rocks. I really had some issues that other remodeling agencies could not handle but LFM and Skender really got me sorted and were very easy to work with and effective. read more

Above and beyond on every level. They treat you like family and I will treat them like family going forward. Myra went out of her way several times to make sure I was taken care of. She and this company gives me faith that good people doing great business are out there read more

We contracted with LFM to remodel a small kids bathroom and had a great experience with Tommy, Jose, and the rest of their crew. The bathroom had not been updated since the 70s and a small leak from the plumbing was starting to cause water spots on the ceiling of the room below. We had several companies come out to bid on the project but ultimately chose LFM because we trusted them and worked well with Tommy. The project went smoothly and Tommy frequently stopped by to check on progress. I really liked the WhatsApp thread used to communicate since it kept everyone on the same page. They also provided an easy to use spreadsheet to help track what we needed to purchase for the project and when we would need it. Tommy was always great to jump in and provide recommendations when we got stuck since this was our first remodel project. Our goal was to open up the room as much as possible since it was originally small and crammed. Tommy and Jose did a great job providing recommendations and confirming what we could and couldn't due with the space. They ended up creating a lot more space by removing a doorway frame, removing unnecessary soffits, and converting the door to a pocket door. The rest of the crew was always friendly and cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. They were also easy to work with for any remaining punch list items. We love the final result and the kids are so happy to have a new (pink) bathroom to use. We also ended up adding a few small projects at the end since we had such a good experience with the team. We had them re-insulate our attic, including removal of the old insulation and foam boards. They also demoed a built-in cabinet in our hallway and repaired the wall so we can make the space more usable. Overall the LFM team was great to work with and we'll reach out again for our next project! read more

I'm going to echo some of the things that the other reviews have said: communication was spotty at first but once the project officially began work was quick, efficient and well-done. I had a car crash into my garage on Christmas Eve (not a great present.) I contacted a few companies for quotes and LFM came in with a good price and also with experience - Arie and Justin showed me photos of a very similar project they did. The biggest issue wasn't with LFM but with the driver's insurance dragging their feet. But through the process, like having an adjustor come out from Geico, Justin from LFM also came out to be with them through the process. Once I got approval for the amount from Geico there was a slight lag in getting the actual contract signed with LFM. However, once it was signed, work began in earnest and they did their quickly and efficiently. Any issues that arose they were able to fix rather quickly. Overall my experience with LFM - Justin in particular - was great. read more

They were quick to respond and do the job quickly. I'm extremely happy with the work they have done

We had two bathrooms remodeled with LFM and couldn't be happier. From our initial meeting with Tommy the project manager until completion of the bathrooms there wasn't a time when we felt we weren't in good hands. Tommy was either on-site or an always answered phone call away. Javier, head of construction and his crew were the most hard-working and most pleasant people we've ever had do work in our home. At the end of each day they cleaned up and always left with a smile. The craftsmanship of the LFM group is absolutely top notch. They will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. read more

I am very dissatisfied with LFM Construction and Remodeling. When asked about the most important aspect of my bathroom remodel, I emphasized craftsmanship. Unfortunately, in my opinion, there was not a skilled craftsperson in the entire team. I felt the finishing was sloppy and unacceptable for anyone knowledgeable in the field. Tommy Halbertal informed us at the contract signing that he did not want us hovering over the workers and watching them work. If such a request is ever made of me again, I will cancel the job immediately. The project was supposed to take 2-3 weeks from the start date but ended up taking 7 weeks. Realizing my mistake in hiring LFM Construction and Remodeling to remodel my master bathroom to make it ADA compliant, I revisited the internet to understand where I went wrong in vetting the company. Despite my efforts, I could only find positive reviews. It seems impossible for LFM Construction and Remodeling to perform so poorly without it being a systemic issue. When addressing the punch list, new issues arose because they would create new problems while fixing existing ones. For example, while fixing a paint issue, they chipped a tile. I was so frustrated with Tommy and his crew that I eventually negotiated a minor discount and decided to finish the punch list myself. As I complete the work, I am discovering areas in the shower that have not been caulked. In the end the look of the bathroom is good superficially, however if I hadn't caught the caulking problems, the framing underneath would likely have rotting without me ever knowing it. During construction, companies typically put down floor protectors. LFM taped heavy brown paper over our Berber carpet, which would have been fine except that my husband is in a wheelchair (hence the ADA compliance) and we could not access our bedroom or bathroom without wheeling over the paper, which tore it up and created a tripping hazard. I feel a reputable company would have replaced this daily or used a more durable floor protector. read more

I worked with Tommy at LFM to complete a bathroom remodel with the goal of modernizing the look and correcting some really bad tiling from the previous owner. This was in advance of me moving out and renting out the house, so I wanted to be cost-conscious and not go crazy on things that the renters might beat up quickly. Tommy helped make design decisions when I needed a 2nd opinion, or just wanted tok know what's modern and current. The project completed on time and within the budget originally quoted. What was very nice was that Tommy was easily reachable if I had any concerns or questions and he responded immediately. His crews were also always working -- I was never left wondering where they were, like I have with other contractors. They also removed all the debris and demo from the project as promised, another item other contractors seem to struggle with. Overall I had a very nice experience with Tommy at LFM. read more

Carlos managed a paint job and some drywall repairs at my house. His crew was friendly and efficient, and Carlos checked in regularly to make sure it turned out right. It looks great :) read more

Tldr; We had a terrible experience with LFM and left a one star review here on Yelp. LFM reached out to us to "fix the issue" by requesting us to remove or change the review from one star to four star in exchange for the refund due to incomplete work. This is an unethical business practice and misleads consumers into believing in the quality of work that they can not deliver. If you are considering LFM to do any projects for our house simply based on their five star reviews like how we did with ours, please read our experience so that you don't fall into the same situation. Original review is here https://www.yelp.com/biz/lfm-construction-and-remodeling-austin-5?hrid=5pl-4KRgLzjxVNWYXPiVkA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) After posting the review, one of their employees, Chris Rivera, reached out repeatedly via text and phone calls, expressing a desire to "fix the issue." Given our previous negative interactions with two of their employees through similar channels, we chose not to engage further in that manner. A few days later, Chris came to our door with the same message regarding their intention to resolve the situation. During this visit, Chris mentioned that we had paid a total of $6,500, with $2,000 allocated for materials and demolition, leaving a balance of $4,500. They offered to refund this amount due to incomplete work, but only if we agreed to change our review from one star to four stars. We firmly declined their request to alter or remove our review, although we expressed willingness to update our review regarding how they handled the situation. Chris then agreed to ask the office to process the refund. Within 24 hours, Leo, the owner, contacted us, insisting that we sign a form to receive the refund. He claimed that the form was merely to confirm the project's completion and that we owed nothing further. From our previous experience with LFM in the beginning, they did not honor their contract nor their words, and kept changing contract terms, pricing, and pressure to pay more. At this stage, I rather pursue the legal actions instead of continuing engaging with them. This approach reflects a concerning trend we experienced with LFM throughout our engagement, where they consistently made promises only to change the terms later. Their tactic of visiting our premises to request a review change in exchange for a refund feels unethical and is not an acceptable business practice. We hope that this feedback can be useful to others considering their services, and we need Yelp to take a firm action on this business to ensure Yelp is a safe place for consumers not only to find good quality vendors and business but also to raise our concerns and address the issues. read more

Jose, our representative was with us every step of the way. LFW does top quality work in a very timely fashion. They built cabinets for the niches in our great room that fit like a glove. They are a little higher priced than some other contractors, but the quality of their work is by far outstanding. We would definitely use LFW again on any future projects. read more

I had some water damage that was a mystery as to where it was coming from. I called multiple people and had a couple other quotes. LFM was the only one that gave me a decent/fair quote and talked through the steps needed to find out what was going on. They communicated so well and efficiently through WhatsApp. Kevin the project manager did a great job at explaining and not over promising. The guys that came were timely, courteous and professional. Would definitely recommend and will hire again if needed. Loved working with this group and Jeff the office manager also was great at communicating during each change order and collection point. Thank you for finding and fixing the problem!! read more

Had a small job after a major hail storm replacing hardy plank and a door. LFM came out to give me a very reasonable estimate. LFM wanted my small job when most other contractors were not interested in my small job. Everyone at LFM was a delight to work with: Myra, Edward, Carlos and the whole crew. They did what they said they would do. The workmanship and quality were very good. They completed the job on schedule. The crew was courteous, knowledgeable, professional and hard working. They respected our home during the project and cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day and when the job was complete. LFM's pricing was very competitive and the fact that they were willing to take on my smaller project was priceless. I would recommend LFM for any remodeling/construction projects. I will be calling on them again on any future projects. Thanks to the whole LFM team! read more

I don't usually post reviews but wanted to make sure others don't fall into the same situation as me. We put out a request on Yelp and of course, LFM and other vendors respond quickly because they know that time to response at form initial inquiry is critical. LFM's Project Manager Jackson Rothman came the next day and quoted $9k for remodeling our master bathroom, which we signed a contract for, saying things like he'll be there to support us every step of the ways and look at our reviews on google, etc, etc. He seemed a bit off, repeating the same questions over and over again but we went with LFM because of pricing. That was our first mistake. Right before the project started, Jackson told us the quote was $13k and we had to sign a new contract. We still went forward with it from a convenience standpoint and they immediately came in for demolition. This was our second mistake. At that time they seemed upset that I had ordered some incorrect items, but we received no support on our group chat that they said they would use to support us. All items were confirmed by LFM. That was when I started to state my displeasure with the service and I got a call from Jackson stating that I was asking too many questions and he couldn't make a living on just my job. We were cautious because the whole time they were pressuring us to pay another $5k for the job, which equated to 90% of the total cost. This was the reason why we hired a construction company instead of going directly to independent contractors, because we are not experts in home repair. We then argued with him and Myra, the customer service manager for 2 days and Myra said that we should cancel our contract, which we agreed, yet they still kept calling to try to continue. They said they would assign a new project manager, but before even doing that they kept on pressuring us to pay more money. Not once did the GM or management who were supposedly on the group chat stepped while all this was happening. I refused for them to continue because I don't trust that these people will do a good job after all this arguing nor do I feel safe with them in my house with my family. Please learn from my mistake and do your due diligence and go with a family operated firm that does their own work and actually cares about their customers instead of outsourcing their work out. All this experience did was left me $7k lost, a completed demo-ed master bathroom, and a really pissed off wife. read more

I will explain the 4 star rating. After interviewing 6 companies we decided on LFM to totally remodel our primary bathroom. Arie, the project manager came out on time to meet with my wife and me. He is very knowledgeable and agreed to do everything we asked unlike the other companies. After giving us an onsite bid, we agreed to have them do the remodel. He was accessible through out the remodel. Jose, who built our closet cabinets and re built our closets was very good as well. The vanity and countertop contractors were excellent as well. The final product is 5 star but getting there is why I rating them 4 star. The superintendent who will go nameless was horrible. He and his crew did not respect our house. We had a few minor leaks but dirt and dust throughout the entire house. Tools and equipment were scattered all over. Cutting tile and wood were done outside our front door which ruined the glass panels. We spent a great deal of money having all furniture upholstery,walls, carpet and the rest of the house deep cleaned. I would recommend interviewing the superintendent as well as the project manager. Make sure the house is totally prepped to prevent any damages. The good news is what Arie promised. The bathroom is very nice. LFM repaired all damages to our house and cleaning and stand behind there work. So the end result is we would recommend them. read more

Doing a kitchen remodel can be stressful just because of the chaos that inevitably unfolds as you start to knock down walls and demo everything. But Tommy and LFM were there every step of the way, and I truly appreciate that if I got stressed and overwhelmed they showed true compassion and helped me navigate the process with professionalism. We have used them, working with Tommy both times, to redo our master bath, master closet, guest bath, kitchen and flooring throughout the whole house. It's basically almost a house entirely built by them at this point, lol. We will use them again too! And if that's not saying everything you need to hear, I don't know what to tell you. These guys are great, hire them! read more

We contacted LFM with a smaller project and a bigger one. We wanted to add an apartment above our garage and our master bath (the original from 1979) was badly in need of remodeling. Kevin, our project manager came over and explained the process, and what would happen and when. Our bathroom turned out beautiful, for less money than we expected. Late this month they'll start construction on the apartment, the plans are exactly what we want, engineers are finishing up, I can't wait to see how great it will turn out. read more

This review is for our guest and main bathroom remodel. We have now used LFM for three projects (main bathroom remodel, guest bathroom remodel and stucco to Hardie siding and tankless water heater installation). LFM is professional, responsive and all around great to work with. The team is very clear and upfront early on in the contract phase and communicative throughout the project. Quality of work was fantastic and whenever we had mid-project asks or requests for touch up LFM took care of it without pushback. Leo was amazing to work with on the bid, scope and contract and Chris did a great job managing the project. We will no doubt go with LFM on all our future projects. Attached are before and after pictures of our bathrooms. read more

LFM Construction & Remodeling just completed a full home renovation on a house we recently purchased. The house was originally built in 1979 and had not been remodeled since then. In the beginning we were hesitant to go through such a big project after having bad experiences with other construction companies on our previous homes, but thanks to LFM we can happily say that the experience was wonderful. Tommy, our project manager, was a great communicator and was very helpful throughout the entire project. The rest of the crew was also amazing and respectful, and listened carefully to all of our concerns while keeping us in the loop with constant updates. Jose was our on-site supervisor that managed the workers on a daily basis. Another thing we were happy about is that LFM has different crews that specialize in different trades, which ensured that the quality of the work was very high. We definitely recommend LFM and we have already referred them to some friends and family. read more

Had a consultation with a project manager to do exterior framing and construction for a bedroom addition. The quote they provided was so outrageous that they are not serious about taking the job. To put the pricing in perspective, if they were to build you a small 1000 SF starter home, it would cost $1 million. Rip off. read more
