This place is absolutely disgraceful. The way they treat their employees is disgusting, and the…read morelack of respect for their workers is beyond disappointing. There is a huge difference between being a demanding workplace and treating people as if they are disposable. The apparent lack of basic human decency, fairness, and work ethic is embarrassing. Employees are human beings, not slaves, and they deserve dignity, respect, and appreciation for the work they do. A business that depends on its workers but fails to value them should be ashamed of itself. You can run a business without running over people, but apparently, this place hasn't figured that out yet. I give this place 0 star. Don't be racist

Andre Luna's Cre8 Builders and Cre8 Construction are absolutely the most professional,…read moreknowledgeable and trustworthy stucco experts in Texas! Mr. Luna resolved years of frustrating stucco repair efforts by an incompetent general contractor and then stood behind Cre8's removal and replacement of 75% of my entire home's stucco exterior. Cre8's work was completed on time and in a clean manor and with a clear explanation of the entire process. Andre worked closely with his team, a structural engineer and also a roofing contractor that jointly resolved all complex water penetration issues that caused severe damage to our home. I respectfully recommend all stucco homeowners not waste time and money on other less qualified general contractors or masonry contractors. If you have stucco problems or are considering building a stucco or stone home in Texas, please seek a truly expert builder and stucco repair contractor. Mr. Andre Luna is my expert and has my complete confidence and trust. Several years after Cre8's repairs were completed we have no leaks. Mr. Luna was deposed and his expert testimony at trial recently won us triple damages against the general contractor in Travis County Civil District court. This was more than a $1.5M award, so Andre Luna is someone any homeowner should want for expert advise and as a general contractor.

My wife and I spent months searching for the right landscaper/landscape designer and ran into so…read moremany obstacles it became a drudge!!! Nightmare is a better adjective. But after a few recommendations from neighbors and our neighborhood association's "ListServe" we connected with a great designer (more on her later) who sent us to Daniel Stone and Landscaping Supplies on Hwy. 290 West (see separate review). Whew... what a fantastic stoneyard. So big that they to drove us around in a golf cart to see the various selections of quarry stone for our project. After selecting the stone we had to find a contractor that could install what we wanted, and who would work with us and our designer. Custom Stonework & Scott Boniwell came highly recommended by the yard manager and after seeing his website (amazing examples of his work) I contacted Scott and arranged for a time to meet me at my home in Barton Hills. Surprisingly, it was very quick and Scott showed up right on time and surveyed the various areas slated for "hardscape". Not having a final plan we took some general measurements and discussed the removal of the sidewalk, irrigation changes (more on that later, too), the slope and grade of the yard and of course timing and cost. Having worked for a bricklayer/stonemason in my younger years I was very familiar with the process of planning, site preparation and execution. He was confident that he could give us exactly what we envisioned and has really performed as promised. We even made a few changes "on the fly" after finding irrigation runs and drainage structure once excavation began. Not a problem. Scott took the extra day it took to reroute all of that stuff to cut large stone pieces into the pattern we chose to incorporate into our new walkway. He's had some great ideas, and unlike many "git 'er done" masons he's been more interested in building something that is not only aesthetically pleasing but functional and unique. Pictures to follow of the before and after when this is complete. Don't hesitate to call or email Custom Stonework if you have any rock, brick, block or stucco projects coming up. Check out their website. Scott even emailed me some photos of work that was similar to ours but not yet online. See my upcoming reviews for Daniel's Stone, Dirty Hands Landscape Design and of course Go With the Flow Irrigation.

I called Todd to build a cement block wall based on a recommendation from a neighbor. He was responsive at first and started quickly, but to my detriment I ignored a few red flags, including dodging my direct question before signing about the footing depth by telling me to read the testimonials on the website. I don't think Todd has ever done masonry. He seems to be a shrewd business person who connects customers to subcontractors without holding them to any uniform standard. The footing for this 57-foot long, 8-foot high wall was excavated and poured in a single day. It was 9 inches (yes, 9!!) out of level, not stepped but following the grade of the lot, and sloppy. When I confronted, Todd referred me to the heads of the crew. With some language barriers, they described only minor adjustments to "level" each block. They must have planned to lay them in snaky courses, either hoping the stucco would hide their sloppy work or not even having that much of a plan. Keep in mind we are talking about isometric, rectangular cement block, not natural stone. Furthermore, the footing was only 12 inches wide and went about 11 inches below grade to support a straight, heavy, 8-foot tall wall. I believe that I prevented a catastrophic failure down the road by cancelling the whole project. I'm out $6600 for the footing alone, as that was the best offer I got from Todd to cancel the whole thing. Now have a cedar fence where my sound wall was intended to go, after paying to core into the footing to set posts. To his credit, Todd did offer to demo the footing and start over. I was afraid to go forward with that approach for a host of reasons. It was going to be disruptive, damaging to my property, and time-consuming, all to the end of letting the same crew that screwed it up in the first place have another go at it. Sometimes you just have to suck up the sunk cost and move on. My biggest mistake by far on this project was hiring Austin Stucco and Masonry. I took a video of the footing against a level line, but Yelp is no longer allowing videos, so these snapshots are taken from the video and are not as clear as they would be otherwise.

Excellent Experience…read more We purchased a home where the builder/seller didn't flash the windows properly allowing water to leak into the home. We first hired Mark Gault as an expert witness in the proceedings to diagnose. He has been in the industry for quite a few years (20+) and clearly the stand out stucco expert in the area with rock solid (no pun) references and industry credentials. We won the lawsuit and immediately hired Mark Gault homes to perform all remediation work. The work was extensive requiring stucco to be stucco and stone on the home, wood damage repaired and then stucco reapplied with all the vapor barrier, wire mesh, etc etc on nearly the entire home. Gault and his crew were straight forward, honest, respectful taking into account neighbors concerns, my time involvement and even as allowed our babies sleep schedule when possible - super easy to work with. A solid 4 months of constructions crews, city inspections, machinery the work progressed smoothly with very few issues. The project was delivered on time within %5 of budget! We can now enjoy our home! No leaks! Imagine that... Thanks Mark and crew!

I recently hired Austin Professional Painters for a pretty large project: we had remodeled our…read morekitchen and had installed new shiplap, headboard, and chair rail throughout the main areas of our downstairs. The cabinets and walls needed a total refresh of paint, and all that new woodwork had tons of caulking/filling/sanding/priming etc to do. Then we needed new crown molding added to our half bath, and there were several sheetrock patches plus some ceiling cracks which needed good prepping and feathering in. Also, our front and back doors needed to be repainted. So - a lot of work! And I am picky about quality. I chose Austin Professional Painting because they seemed well organized, well qualified, and ready to go at a scale of enough workers that we could get back to living in the downstairs of our house in a reasonable amount of time. Their comfort with good quality paint was also a key factor in my choice. So: the guys who came out to do the work, Carlos and Ivan - plus another couple of guys on certain days, were very nice, polite, and extremely hard working. They did a very good job and I am satisfied with the work. I would hire Austin Professional Painters again (and probably will this fall when we get around to renewing the master bath), and I definitely recommend them. I'll have to update this review with photos soon, I just need to take a bunch of them.
