Dustin and his crew at Marks Builders renovated my house last year. In short, they did a fantastic…read morejob, were honest, upfront, left things clean, and were there from start to finish without any notable delays. I have recommended Marks Builders to many of my family and friends, and they've all had great things to say too.  Read on if you want the whole story! I had a leak in a wall between two bathrooms, above the kitchen.  Just to set the scene, my wife was pregnant and we had a baby due 3 weeks after the start of the construction.  My kitchen had a dropped ceiling and was original to the 1970s house.  Dustin worked with State Farm (my insurance carrier) to bring the adjuster's repair estimate up to a par. He and his team worked with us to order cabinets early (we were getting custom cabinets so they had a long lead time), then they gutted the kitchen and bathroom, raising the ceiling to 8' (reworking the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical lines in the process).  They pulled up all of the tile in the downstairs while we were out of the house (and in the hospital having the baby).  We asked for a few days at home without construction when we came home, to which they agreed. They worked hard to make sure that the house was ready for cabinets when they would be delivered. The cabinets were delivered without issue and installed the same week, with the trim taking longer than any other single step because they wanted it to look just right - and it paid off! The finishing touches make all the difference! The granite crew came in and did their thing. Like all of Dustin's sub-contractors, they were on time, professional, and courteous. They did their work well, quickly, and cleanly. We opted for granite counters and granite backsplashes, with different edge finishes in different places, corners, etc. to work around. They did it all well. Our kitchen looks fantastic, even a year and a half later. Through the whole 2-month process, Dustin's crew was on-site 4-6 days/week, except when we asked for the break. We made a lot of changes midway through, and Dustin didn't nickel and dime on the little things (moving an outlet, changing from a 2 gang to a 4 gang plug, etc). He was happy to work with my attention to detail (which can frustrate most people I know) and he did it with a smile - his attention to detail was similar. His crew was always fun to have around, and I never once worried about them being in the home, whether I was there or not. They worked hard to make sure we felt safe with them in the house at the start of Covid. All said, I strongly recommend Marks Builders. They're honest, smart, hard-working, and fun people who care about the work they produce and their customers' experience.

It still needed to be completed, so I asked around for a reliable, trustworthy contractor and a neighbor highly recommended Dustin. I even went to their home to checkout his work, and was impressed. He was professional and forthcoming from our very first meeting and that was my experience throughout the process. My bathroom looks amazing now and he finished on time with excellence. Dustin's team turned my nightmare into a great experience. I would hire him again in a second!

Over seven years and a number of projects, his crew put the roof on my house, built a backyard pergola, and did a lot of the remodeling inside and out. He also has a great painter who works fast and reasonably. Everything he did for us was on schedule and reasonably priced. You can reach Mike at Capital Siding and Roofing Contractors, 512-810-0937. He and his crew can pretty much do everything building-wise at competitive pricing. We have used him many times on two houses, and we heartily recommend him!

He made sure the solar panels were removed, took the old roof off and replaced it on schedule and budget, cleaned and replaced the solar panels. His crew is great, and Mike is wonderful. He's done 'little' stuff for us, like replacing a leaking sink disposal, all the way up to replacing most of our home's floor and many walls when a water pipe in the attic burst. Oh yes, Mike and his crew also screened in our back porch, giving us another room for most of the year, at a cost much less than the other guys. Highly recommended!

They helped with several projects to get my home ready to sell, and their attention to detail was outstanding. What really stood out to me was how much care they put into everything--they treated my home as if it were their own. The results were beyond what I expected. Everything looked fantastic, and I felt so much more confident putting my house on the market. They're professional, reliable, kind, and very easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again--and I probably will. Highly recommend!

Working with them regarding billing and what was considered in and out of scope was a nightmare. Despite my best efforts to make sure we were on the same page in regards to what I wanted done and making sure it was on the invoice it did not stop the invoices for extra work coming out saying it was out of scope. I agreed with the first change order regarding a bench but when more change orders and invoices started showing up with no heads up is when I started asking questions. And even when I said that I told them to give me a heads up on out of scope work, I still got new invoices for out of scope work. $1200 for extra hours for sloping the shower pan, $200 for extra trash removal, $600 for extra plumbing work. TLDR: Lowest Bid, Still great work, but expect them to nickel and dime you until it is done.

We initially contacted Like Father Like Son requesting an estimate to build a covered deck around…read moreour existing concrete patio slab. We requested a few estimates actually, we were interested in how much it we would save by laying the decking boards ourselves, and how much it would be if we skipped the roof. They were quick to reply with a detailed estimate for all of the variations we asked for. We ended up having them only do the deck framing and they did a fantastic job! I appreciated the fact that they cleaned up their work area every day before they left, never leaving a mess when they were done. I was particularly impressed with the effort that they took to answer all the questions I had while they worked, even making a point to give me various tips and details that would be helpful when I went to lay the decking boards later. Their advice was invaluable! I have the strong impression that they care about both the quality of their work and reputation and were invested in the final product being as good as possible even though I wasn't paying them to do the entire job. We will definitely use them again if the need arises. Highly recommended!

I paid that and it took me a few months to get the money together to get the work done. I understand that after a certain amount of time, the circumstances might have changed, but refusing to go back out and verify that without another payment is absurd. Once I told them that I was ready to go, I had to wait another month before they finally told me that it would cost me another $100 to get them out there to verify the original bid, and they had no documentation of the bid other than some scribbled notes from the first visit.
