Mervin And Sons have exceeded my expectations in multiple projects. We lived through a home…read morerenovation project and lived across town from a water leak restoration project on our rental property. On the restoration project, we had to go through insurance, and Morgan made the process even simpler than I could have imagined. They know how to do the job right, and they stand by their work. Morgan, Brooks, and their team are very professional and do their best to be as least disruptive as possible during the work. Most importantly, they are extremely trustworthy, and I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of on pricing or timeline, which seems like a very rare find in this industry. Honestly, by the end of it, it felt like we were working with friends. I highly recommend Mervin & Son's: 10/10, no notes. I give their name out anytime people talk about home renovation plans! Thank you, Mervin & Sons!

We contacted numerous contractors for bids to remodel our kitchen in Austin. Not only did Mervin &…read moreSons Construction come in with the lowest bid, they were the best contractors with whom I have ever worked. Their work product and attention to detail is unparalleled. I have worked on many projects over the years and I will always give these guys first crack at anything I want done. They finished the job ahead of schedule which, as most of you know, is never the case with construction. The owners were on the job site almost the entire time and the subs working with them are top notch. Give these guys a shot on your next project. You won't be disappointed.

We can't speak highly enough of A.R. Lucas and our experience working with his team on our remodel…read moreand addition. We met with a number of contractors and felt that Adam's experience and style was the best fit for our Crestview home. Adam is super responsive, patient (I was pregnant at the time and probably not the easiest client ever :), and has fantastic subcontractors--we trusted and truly enjoyed getting to know everyone that worked on the house. Whenever you tell someone you're remodeling, you typically get a gasp and a "Good luck! How long until you move back in? Plan for twice that." We were nervous. Our experience could not have been more opposite--Adam finished on time and within our budget, another shocker based feedback from everyone else in the world that's done a remodel. 5 stars would hire for our next project!

Our architect recommended A.R. Lucas Construction for our add-on project and we could not have been…read morehappier. Prior to construction, we worked closely with our architect and Adam to ensure the project could be completed on budget. Throughout the project Adam provided frequent expense and progress reports. As this was our first construction project, we were filled with uneducated questions and concerns. Adam and his team were impressive, kind and patient in handling all our questions. They made us feel very comfortable coming to them with anything. Andrew was our main lead for the day-to-day and did a great job keeping all the subs moving and on track. The craftsmanship work that A.R. Lucas designed and crafted are beautiful and unique, and definitely my most favorite parts of the add-on. We were drawn to A.R. Lucas Construction for their craftsmanship, attention to detail and budget insight. Adam, Andrew and their team were a lot of fun to work with; it was a comfortable, collaborative and rewarding experience. We will most certainly reach out to them for our future projects.

Verde Builders has horrible business practices. As one of his subcontractors, he was late paying…read moreinvoices and did not pay a final invoice on the last job we did for him.

This company is a total nightmare.

I would literally let my roof cave in before I dealt with these people again.

I had quite possibly one of the most perplexing experiences ever with this company. Our family had…read morea new kitchen sink and faucet we wanted to install in the kitchen. The job would require cutting the laminate countertop by about an inch or two on the sides. We also needed to replace the wood in the cabinet below due to warping from various drips and spills (the home is 16 years old). We put the job out to three contractors, Republic Renovations being one that came highly recommended. Without coming over to look at the job or even discuss it on the phone, Bryan asked a couple questions via email and then sent over a bid. His wasn't the cheapest, but having done many remodeling projects myself I felt like it was fair. Fast forward a couple weeks while we picked up a new faucet, I reach back out to Republic Renovations to let him know we were ready to move forward. I explained that the new sink has a single drain (the old one has two) so we'd need to rough out new PVC to go from the disposal to the wall. I also reminded him of the full scope of the project, including the wood on the bottom. We get a new bid back from him with about a 70% increase in total project cost. Again, I take a fair minded approach to it, sign his contract, and we schedule a date for a week out. Less than 24 hours before our scheduled work, Bryan sends me an email saying he won't be able to make our appointment. Fine, I ask when we can reschedule. His response, "I'm not the man for the job. I do apologize." Really? When prompted why he even took the bid and discussed the project with us for well over 3 weeks, his response was simply, "Your frustrations are understood, apologies again and for any confusion!" So word of caution here. Don't bank on this guy following through with your job. Other than the slow start procuring our faucet, there's no clear reason why this guy flaked less than 24 hours before the day he requested to do the work. We've been more than fair with his original bid and questionable increase in cost, we even opted to have him do it on a Saturday at his request. The lack of professionalism here is pretty astounding. Update: so his response is about not having a plumber. Wish he would have told me about that before he scheduled the appointment, and that explanation would have been nice via email when he cancelled. Again, folks, buyer beware.

We appreciated the detailed estimate and realistic timeline we were given. Republic did an excellent job putting our bathroom and garage back together after these rooms faced water damage.

James came out within a day of us contacting him. He was very knowledgeable, extremely professional, very fast to respond and get his workers out to begin the work. The work was completed quicker than estimated. The work included repairing cracks to the limestone blocks on the exterior of the house. They matched the mortar exactly and it all looks brand new. They also did major repairs to an exterior door, fixed an interior door, replaced floor trim around flooring and several other jobs. We can't say enough good things about Juan, who did much of the work and Renovate 512. They will be our first call for future projects. Great company!

My experience with Inside Out was stellar from beginning to the end. Shawn was super prompt from…read morethe start. This is not usual in this market. After touring my home and discussing the project I had in mind he had a detailed multi-page proposal for me. The first bed I received from a contractor was literally an email that went something like, Kitchen: 15k, Bathroom: 10k, Garage: 15k...Not very assuring. Shawn and his team were assuring from the get go. Communication with everyone on the team from his right-hand man, Oscar, and design wiz, Sara, to the plumber and electrician were streamlined by use of an app called Slack they use. This was so useful when you are working on a mult-month job and always have a ton of little questions or concerns. I could easily just shoot it out into the app and anyone on his team could respond. I loved that. And these guys are top-notch. Oscar did some amazing things in here. When we found an unexpected load-bearing beam, he expertly engineered a huge beam across the near-length of the kitchen that allowed us to fully open up the area...without hiring an engineer (my decision). That thing was solid. Then he took my dated fireplace and lathered it in multiple layers of concrete and mortar to make what is now a piece of modern art. Sara and Shawn both have an eye for design. When I sent a photo of one of my bathrooms to a friend she told me it looked with the W. In a few areas of the house they kind of nudged me to let them have some artistic leave and I am so glad they did. My master bath is now a study in what you should do for any small bathroom space and my laundry room has added about 100+ square feet to the home and functions as a mud room. All of the contractors he works with are exceptional as well. I will always use David O from Make it Drain plumbing and Irvin with Retiz Electric. Both of these guys are masters of their trades and very friendly and reliable too. Overall, I could not recommend Shawn and his team more. It was an honor to work with these guys. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I worked with Shawn on the design and he was always openminded about what I wanted to do and willing to provide suggestions or recommendations. His team of subcontractors did quality work and were respectful of me and my home. I had lots of people in and out of my house and had full trust in them. Most importantly, Shawn is an excellent communicator. He is always a text or phone call away, and would make time in his busy schedule to drop by the house and meet with me as needed. I have heard horror stories from my friends of contractors who disappear in the middle of a project or fail to respond to requests for updates or questions. I had none of these problems with Shawn. My renovation turned into a much bigger project in terms of the amount of changes that were made, but it never felt hopeless or endless, and the end result made it all worth it. I will definitely use InsideOut again for my next renovation project! Until then I'll just be living on the prettiest house on the block, thanks to Shawn.
