While the major portion of our bathroom remodel is officially complete, we did decide to make some…read moresmall changes. We swapped out our existing chrome faucets for gold hardware, and the difference is night and day. The previous faucets had a very sleek, almost Star Trek-ish look (a fun nod to my hubby, who is a serious sci‑fi fan), but they no longer fit the direction the bathroom was taking. Once the rest of the space came together, it was clear the chrome felt out of place. The new gold faucets align beautifully with the overall design and add warmth and elegance to the room. They tie everything together in a way the chrome simply couldn't. What felt like a small change ended up making a big visual impact, elevating the finished space and giving it a more cohesive, intentional look. If you're on the fence about switching hardware finishes, this is proof that even after the "big" remodel work is done, thoughtful finishing touches can truly transform the final result. The faucets were priced competitively. Many thanks to folks at Tri-Supply!

If you want a one-stop showroom for appliances, lockets, lighting, ceiling fans, doors, windows,…read moreoutdoor grills, patio furniture, look no farther than Tri-Supply. I was literally wowed when I walked into their showroom last Saturday. It was a mecca for everything home. Honesty, if you can't find it here, I don't know where you can. The only quibbles I have is that they do have departments and specialists for each department. I worked with Aaron in appliances but he could not help me with anything other than appliances. I also spoke with Kelly the day before by phone--both extremely pleasant to work with. Their computer system is not tied into their floor inventory, and apparently hard for even their staff to navigate, making identification of available stock on floor challenging without eyes on. Their desk phones are not wireless, so checking on an item on the floor means holding or calling back from cellular. This is a small, family-owned business. Now that Harway is no longer family owned and a part of the Ferguson brand, the choices for shopping local are dwindling. But don't let family-owned mean expensive. They price match with big box and offer much better service to compete strongly. Although I did not buy that day, I have them in mind for a couple of items. Recommended. Five stars.

I discovered Green Summit Studio while touring the East side artists studios in Austin this Fall…read more Of all the great art I had the pleasure to experience (literally hundreds of artists represented!), I felt the deepest connection with a very cool 9ft, back-lit (neon) creation by Derek. I thought about it for a week or so and fortunately it was still available... sold! Since it is so large, Derek made a paper template and a special trip to help me decide where to mount it. About a week later, he and a friend delivered and installed it... great work, very professional. I am so happy with my Green Summit original art, I hope to work with Derek on a few custom items in the future.

Max electrical Services responded quickly and came the same day I requested help. My fridge had…read morelost power, along with several other plugs and another electrician couldn't fix it. Chris and Mason came to the door and spent a couple hours figuring out the problem that had stumped that other electrician. My house is old and some things done by previous owners were problematic like having that circuit powered by two breakers. They fixed that problem, fixed the outlets and installed a new breaker. They were very pleasant to deal with and they even brought treats for my dog. Will definitely call them going forward for all my electrical needs. Five stars!

My electrician took the time to walk through where exactly I wanted it placed and talked through the best way to run the wiring to minimize visibility. Really appreciated that he made sure I was comfortable with the plan before getting started. The work itself was clean and professional, and the outlet works perfectly. What really impressed me was how helpful he was beyond just the electrical work. While he was here, my patio door handle completely broke off (totally unrelated to his work--someone else in my house broke it). He gave me some informal advice about what replacement part I'd need. Then when he had to run to the home improvement store to grab something for the outlet installation, he offered to pick up the door handle for me too. That kind of thoughtfulness and going the extra mile was great to see and highly appreciated since I had a busy day dealing with kids before a trip. I'd absolutely hire this company again and recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work done.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I had an extremely poor experience with them. From the start, communication was a mess--messages…read morewent unanswered and appointments were repeatedly delayed. When the shades finally arrived, the installation didn't match what was promised: fit and measurements were sloppy, alignment was off, and several components looked incorrectly installed from the beginning. After installation, the issues didn't get better. I reached out to have corrections made, but the response time was slow and the problem wasn't addressed properly. Overall, the quality doesn't match the price, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking for professional workmanship and reliable follow-through. A real bad stud. High and low.

The sail significantly cools my back deck when it's sunny, and the lights perfectly illuminate the space. Their staff--from admin, to sales, to technicians--are responsive, friendly, and efficient. When they came to put up the cafe lights this morning, I asked last minute if they could install an eye hook for my laundry line to my shade post and they cheerfully agreed to do it free of charge. The hook and loop hardware are much nicer than I'd imagined, and it was clear they'd done it thoughtfully.

From the beginning, they created a plan tailored to our needs and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly and we didn't go over budget. Each time a member of their team visited our home they were kind, courteous, and knowledgeable- every single one of them was a pleasure to work with. Now our home is electrically sound (our #1 priority) and has super cool lighting fixtures that add character and fun (an add on to the initial plan that they were happy to oblige!). We are so pleased with the service we've received, and as long as we live in Austin we will ALWAYS be calling TruTec for our electrical needs.

It is not often you find a company who takes pride in their work and whose employees are not overworked and just doing the task at hand. OLP is a far cry from this theme. It was quite obvious from the very beginning, they care a great deal about their product, workmanship and finishing. I had done a few searches online and OLP stood out. We choose to engage them for a consult and did so via their website. We heard back promptly and booked a date for a visit. Josh arrived on time, I mean by the minute. No, your technician will be here between 9am and noon....ish, as we have become used to. Or, they just don't show up like AT&T. ahem. Josh is a friendly, burly, engaging gentleman. Extremely knowledgeable of his craft. He listened. He made suggestions and took the time to explain the process, the equipment we were getting installed and left us a quote. We choose to have driveway and pathway lighting as well as a full wrap of the house with low energy LED lights made by Bonzai lighting. These are app controlled. I would imagine that Josh can build out a system at all budget levels and if not, I would imagine he could work within your budget. Our installation was on the high end of cost for reference. We have a large home of 3100 sq ft. HOA's can be a pain. I had to file an Architecture review, even tho one or two other homes in our small neighborhood has home lighting. Josh assured me, we would be fine and even offered to work directly with our HOA if needed. He did provide me with a HOA packet to provide the committee. With that help when submitting the request, we got approved within 48hrs. I'm sure the brochure I was provided made this happen quickly. Day of installation, the OLP crew arrived, actually a little early and exactly to the minute they said they would be here. We had a little knock on the door and the work began. I was actually surprised to see Josh was involved throughout the 2 day install. Chris and his partner, (whose name I didn't get) were always respectful of our property, polite when they needed access anything and cleaned up after themselves. There was a palpable air of pride and execution of the job ahead. They cared about what they were working on and not just slapping something together. The crew wanted their work to reflect their skill set. It wasn't just their J O B, it was their craft. OLP finished up the install and Josh spent some time with us helping us download the app for the Bonzai app and SmartLife app for the Driveway/Pathway lighting. Ran us through the options on the app and sent us a very helpful App Training link to review and learn. We settled up, Josh reminded us of the warranty and to please call/text with any questions whatsoever. The Bonzai lighting is very comprehensive, a myriad of customizations and themes as well as options, such has having the lights over our master bedroom go off at a certain time so as not to keep the wifey awake at night. She is very light sensitive at night and we are having black out blinds being installed which will help the small light spill in the bedroom. Every colour of the rainbow is there, with dozens of preset themes you can pick. It's a little overwhelming, but it's a learning curve. It's Labor day weekend and they finished up yesterday. We had chosen a simple setting for coming on at dusk and turning off at dawn. We noticed nothing came on, so reluctantly we texted Josh at 8.15pm, letting him know and we could address the issue after the holiday. He text back right away and since we choose to name him as an administrator, he was able to get them on, owned up that he inadvertently needed to reset the automation, which he did right away. We will be visiting again after the holiday, since I messed around with one of the themes and now our home looks like a firework show. LOL.. It's ok, we will get used to the app. OLP should definitely get a shot at your project. Give them a call for a bid!
