The other side of the enclosed space

Ben and Palm Construction built us a new deck with an enclosed patio, starting in the first week of January and wrapping up in a month or so. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Communication was outstanding. Ben was consistently responsive-- any time we called with a question or small concern, someone followed up promptly and came out the next day with solutions. That level of reliability made the process feel smooth and low stress. From carpenters to electricians, the work crew was ​professional and communicative with high level of craftsmanship. They kept the workspace clean and organized and were respectful of our home and individual schedules. Most importantly!! The finished project is exactly what we wanted, and tbh, even better. It has completely transformed our backyard. Thank you Ben and crew!!!

Josh was great to work with and exceeded my expectations. The work was timely and he was great about communicating related to his crew. The team was polite and did all we asked.

This company is terrible They hired subcontractors that did a horrible job. Things had to be redone and my deck is still not fixed because they now will not answer the phone, return my messages or emails so I'm stuck with this awful deck. I will post some pictures Please be warned this is not a good company and they don't do good work or stand behind their warranty!!

Josh was great to work with! Him and his team at Palm Construction did a fantastic job remodeling my floors!

Shortly after posting my initial Yelp review, I received a call from Debbie, Palm Construction's QA manager. While she expressed concern about our experience, it quickly became clear that the primary reason for reaching out was to protect the company's reputation--not to resolve the issues. Debbie said she was "shocked" that we had been asked for the final 10% payment and claimed that internally it had already been decided we should keep that amount due to the poor quality of work and our experience. She told us the refund would be issued the following Monday. But then she asked if I would take down my Yelp review. I told her I was willing to update it but not remove it. That was over three weeks ago. We never received the refund, and there has been zero communication since. It now feels clear that the refund offer was never genuine--they were simply trying to "buy" the review off the platform rather than take responsibility. Since then, I've left multiple voicemails, including one about a new crack that has developed in the path--an issue that should be covered under their one-year warranty. Still no reply. The complete lack of follow-up or accountability is staggering. Palm Construction overpromises, underdelivers, and only responds when their public image is at stake. Our project was mismanaged from the start, with poor workmanship, delays, and no on-site oversight. Communication was spotty at best, and when we pushed back, the company became defensive instead of constructive. Their QA manager gave the appearance of concern, but ultimately made a hollow offer of compensation in exchange for removing our review--an offer they've since ghosted on. This company cuts corners, dodges responsibility, and demonstrates no real commitment to customer satisfaction. I would strongly urge anyone considering them to look elsewhere. Working with Palm Construction has cost us time, money, and peace of mind.

This company is amazing. John Cohen supervised the entire job. He is VERY good at his job. He kept up with every step of the construction. The workers are skilled and efficient. They also clean up after themselves! I would highly recommend this company. I would be happy for anyone to see the work Palm did at my house

super recommended! John cohen our project manager fix up our Trex deck that done by another company! we are completely satisfied with our house gutter , deck beam repaired serviced. Thznk you.

Great example of how incompetent this company has ever been. Do not trust them with your house if they can't follow simple directions.

Will never use this company. Had person read a sign saying no soliciting right on the door. Asked him for his card ( which is a door sign he could have hung) asked him if he saw the sign. "Yes but Well my boss said" that all I needed to hear if you can't follow simple directions there's no way I will trust your company with anything as important as my house or any projects to work on my house. This company is unbelievably disrespectful and if they want business, they can go ahead send mail or can leave their little door knocker things directly on the door without imposing or trying to talk to a person if there's a sign that says no soliciting they should be respectful of the families and their time. I encourage everybody to not use this company. I will take any business elsewhere.

Before: yuck

John and his crew at Palm Construction took my lame backyard and turned it into a beautiful, useable space. It began with a sit-down where he thoughtfully listened to my vision and concerns, made sure he knew all the details, then put the plan in motion. It went beautifully, and I couldn't be happier. His crew was timely, efficient, and clean, and I'll definitely use them again.

Kitchen, refinished doors and quartz countertops

It has been a pleasure to work with Sean. He was always very attentive and very easy to communicate with. He called me daily with any issues or updates on the scheduleIt has been a remarkable experience to do this work with Palm Construction and Sean. I am especially pleased with how quick they got the job done. I honestly did not think it was possible when we started this about three weeks before our wedding. I would recommend Sean and Palm Construction to anyone looking for any kind of home project or construction needs..

This year my husband and I bought our new home, and one of the first big projects we wanted to do was add a patio. We were nervous because this was such a special project for us, but from the very beginning this team completely blew us away. They were professional, hardworking, and so unbelievably friendly it truly felt like we were working with people who cared about our home as much as we did. Ben especially was AMAZING! He didn't just give us what we asked for he gave us so much more. He really listened to what we wanted, offered great ideas, and helped bring our vision to life in a way that was even better than we imagined. You can tell he takes so much pride in his work, and it shows in every little detail. The patio turned out absolutely stunning it has completely transformed our backyard and made our new house feel even more like "home." This was such an exciting project for us as new homeowners, and the experience could not have been better. We are beyond grateful for all the hard work, friendliness, and care this team put into making sure we were happy. We've already gotten so many compliments, and we truly couldn't be more thrilled. If you are thinking about doing a patio project, look no further this is the BEST team you could ever ask for. Ben and his crew are top-notch, and I would give them 10 stars if I could! From : Robert Cannon and Laura cannon

Palm Construction recently completed a list of home improvements that I have been needing and wanting for years. Some things were upgrades, others repairs. Palm Construction succeeded in exceeding my expectations for all. From the first meeting, John Cohen orchestrated all the subcontractors and timelines and frequently monitored the progress. The project started and progressed faster than I ever would have thought. I was caught off guard by how ready and able John's team was. I was thinking a few months. In less than a month, John landed the final details to a huge new deck, complete new floors downstairs (both carpet and luxury vinyl), new roof, concrete walkway, custom rug and repaired cracked walls. All of the subcontractors were equally impressive including the floor specialist Jonathan. It can be stressful thinking about renovation and repair projects like this, but this is as painless and enjoyable as it can possibly get. John Cohen is very personable and super attentive. I feel like I have a new house! I couldn't be happier with the quality and professionalism.

New outlet
Dori S.

Our rep John Cohen was awesome, he listened to what I wanted which was to up the electricity in our garage so we could plug in an extra refrigerator along with extra outlets and LED lights hanging from the ceiling. Now my husband can use his woodworking equipment and store his soda in the fridge without constantly blowing a fuse! The gentleman that did the work was great being sure to clean up after himself!

See all

In a word: Responsive! Chris and team were outstanding to work with. Very effective…read morecommunications. Clear and concise. Listened to what I wanted to accomplish and offered effective suggestions for how best to make it happen! Started the project with a group prayer not only for the project and his team but also for the health and welfare of my family! Not your typical start to a project. Chris and team worked effectively to demo an 800 sq ft deck and rebuild it along a similar footprint in a short 3 weeks. They took great care to treat the place like it was their own and left it cleaner than they found it! Highly recommend this group for great work at an honest price! Chris' dog Rambler was a gentle giant and onsite frequently during the project. He was sweet and friendly while constantly curious!

I'm in the process of remodeling my home, and from this experience of dealing with dozens of…read moredifferent contractors I've received a full spectrum education in their world. Here's the gist of what I learned: about half of the contractors are honest.. they make the process fun and are a real pleasure to deal with; the other half are dishonest... they string you along, make the process a hassle, and are a real pain. Chris (the owner) and his team are a shining example of what great contractors SHOULD be. For starters, Chris is an extremely kind and responsive person. From my first phone call with him (he showed up the same-day, on a SUNDAY) to my projects completion day.. he always responded quickly, was extremely polite, and very thorough. (He never gives you those weak 2-word text responses like lesser contractors). Chris helped me design my deck and pick out the best materials for my needs. He used a 3D rendering software that shows you exactly how your deck is going to look in your backyard. It was actually really cool, and helped me make some tweaks to the design before starting construction. After signing my contract, his crew showed up the very next morning. These guys were absolute studs. They worked their butts off from 8am - 6pm every day until the job was complete... wow! Many days I work from home, so I was able to watch them. They didn't rush their work, they were very calculated and meticulous about doing the job the right way (a marathon not a sprint mentality). This doesn't mean they're slow, it means they care about the details and doing things right. His crew also isn't a bunch of 20 year old rookies playing on their phones either. These guys all look to be in their mid 30's and early 40's. Men with lots of experience.. they have families to feed, work extremely hard, and know what they're doing. The craftsmanship was phenomenal. The engineering very structurally sound. The design is beautiful and actually has my neighbors giving compliments. Anytime there was an issue during the project (and there weren't many), Chris and his crew fixed it immediately like it was no problem at all. Easy peasy. Chris did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, and charged me what he said he was going to charge. Actually.. he went above and beyond what he said he was going to do, he made improvements to the project beyond what was promised, and even gave me a discount at the very end because of a few minor details.. which he didn't have to do. I didn't complain and I didn't request a discount...that's just the kind of guy he is. Incredible. I'm going to mention one last thing I was going to leave out but I think it's important. Every morning before work began, Chris gathers his crew and they do a group prayer together. They ask each other what's going on in their personal lives, and what they can pray for each other about. Then they read a short scripture out loud together, and they start their day. Unbelievably cool. Why do they call themselves Sasquatch? Because these guys are freaking beasts. This is one of those rare experiences where I had a feeling it was going to go well, and it turned out even better than I had imagined. There's a reason why they have so many 5 star reviews. If you're looking to have a deck built in Austin I'm going to help you... skip the weak fluff and go with Sasquatch.

He was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to answering questions concerning placement and size of the deck and the nuances of working around our septic.

We have known Roadrunner Decks since 2013, when we were in need of a major renovation of a large…read moredeck surrounding our 27K gallon swimming pool. We chose them because of their workmanship and details called out in their quote, like support structure. The original deck was built with all Wolmanized wood in 1992. We chose cedar for the renovation. Since then, Roadrunner Decks has also provided refinishing services with their team led by Roberto, who I have found to be very thorough and knowledgeable of the process and products to use. I knew that there was something to the process to obtain a long lasting, beautiful finish from refinishing antique wood with my father. But decks are a different beast due to the exterior elements. The process that Roadrunner Decks uses is simple and clean; all decks need to be free of all items in advance - furniture, plants, etc.: power spray, lightly sand horizontal surfaces, apply two coats penetrating oil stain - color of your choice, allow to dry for 2-3 days to be safe and cure before using. Our latest refinish of three deck sections (front entry, back top, back pool) took two (2) weeks total time. The results of their work can be seen in the pictures below. The finish will last ~2-3 years and will deteriorate depending upon weather conditions, sunlight exposure, and swimming pool water chemical exposure. Some sections that are shaded more can last longer but it is best to refinish the entire deck at once for a consistent color. Big Thank You again to Roberto, and Humberto, Roberto, and Jose for their hard work, beautiful results, and clean up! This was the 5th time it has been refinished by them!

A few didn't even bother sending a quote, but out of those that did Discount Fence was competitive pricing wise. Quote process After doing measurements, Melissa & I walked through what they offered, & quickly came up with a plan for our yard. Once we were done she had a quote to me before she left my driveway, then later followed up to check if I had any questions. Installation Absolutely lightning quick. Melissa & her crew showed up early to get started, I went to drop off my kids at school & they already had my old fence down before I got back (8am). It took them until about 11-11:30 & they were done installing our fence. I was shocked at how quick they worked & the fence looks great. Afterwards Melissa was back to do the inspection & make sure everything was looking good. Long story shorter is that Discount Fence knocked it out of the park at every stage, & what really pushed them over the edge was that they offered a warranty above & beyond anyone else. Last thing I'll say is that Melissa was super nice & great to talk to, if you're looking for a new fence I would recommend putting Discount Fence at the top of your list.

On the way home one month or so back, there was a PRT crew working in the neighborhood and it motivated me to reach out again. They quickly replied through Yelp once I sent them a message and the estimator was here in a couple of days for an estimate and to provide guidance. He was very helpful in making the decisions we choose. We pretty much revamped our entire landscape. New Sod, removal of old sod and installation of zero scape/natural flat stones/gravel. Replanted all the beds, reworked sprinkler system and a massive trim out of existing shrubs and the sort. Not inexpensive, however they were still less expensive then another service, who suggested such things as a French drain, which really didn't make sense and came in a couple grand higher. The crew were numerous and were on time, courteous and knocked out the project in only a few days. One slight slip was the sod was not available on the last day, so we skipped a day and had the job completed the day after. It still was in the time frame they informed us on to begin with and let us know the day before the sod was to be installed. The result of their hard work will be truly noticed when the new plantings take hold. We have been fortunate with having several days of rain and cool weather. A couple of weeks in the sod has taken hold and none of the plantings have died and are all perking up from the transplanting experience. We are very happy with the results and the ease of working with PRT from start to finish.

They truly did a wonderful job and picked up after themselves and even hauled some leftover rotten decking we had for us.
