I hired Luis to remodel several rooms in my house. The estimate was very detailed and accurate…read morealthough it did take a few days to get. It was worth the wait though there were no surprises once the work started other than some changes we decided on. Having work done on your house while you live there is not easy and there were some issues as can be expected. The difference is Luis and his team took care of the issues that came up and listened to our concerns. I have dealt with other contractors who once they have your money don't seem to care about what they are doing. LET does care and they were always willing to meet with us if we had questions and they made sure we were happy with the work I recommend them and if I need more work done on my home they are my first call.

I hired Doug at Hi tech for the buildout of my business this year! I contacted 13 listed…read morecontractors and he was the fastest of 4 to respond. He was very helpful during the entire process. He met me at multiple locations to give bids, contacted landlords to clarify expectations and avoid mistakes. He worked with the city for permitting and even went above and beyond to help save me time and money when the city drawings required more specifics. His bid was far more competitive because his asked the right questions and didn't need to pad it for mistakes. He communicated with me regularly and when I wanted to make changes gave me all options and explained in detail. He delivered the project on time and on budget. I'll certainly use Doug again and would gladly recommend him to anyone needing a general contractor with integrity!

Darrell is hard to get on the phone since he loses it, doesn't have his voicemail set up, etc. When…read moreyou do talk to him he makes it sound like it's real easy to make an appointment and meet up. Well, no. I gave him a 15 minute grace period before calling him to find out where he was. No answer. Texted him to find out how far out he was. No answer. So I'm guessing he either forgot or he doesn't care. I get it. Austin is a booming town now and these guys have all the business they can handle, but customer service is not just a down economy thing. I can't speak to the quality of Darrell's work because he didn't even show up to scope out the job. He wasted my time and hopefully won't waste yours.

I was referred to Darrell after contacting The Fix It Chick and being told that they were too busy…read more(good for them, but sad for me) to help as quickly as I was wanting. I had a random list of items that came up on the inspection for the house we had just bought that we knew we wanted done. Darrell has a broad knowledge base on home repairs and was able to fix everything on the list quickly, and also gave his recommendation on what could wait (or what would be easy and cheaper for us to just do ourselves). Fast forward a few months-we have continued to call on Darrell for various projects throughout the house. I'm 9 months pregnant and trying to get it all done before the baby comes and Darrell has risen to the challenge. He was able to repair our outdoor kitchen, match the stonework, wire in some new lighting and helped talk us through (and out of) doing a pricey pergola addition (I appreciated his honesty!) He most recently installed closet shelving, matching the existing and mostly useless laundry room shelves (with his perfectionist attention to detail) . Being around during the day while contractors are working in the house, it's nice to find someone who not only knows their stuff but is also just a genuinely nice guy to be around. I'm grateful that we've found a 'Darrell of all trades' handyman that I can call on for whatever comes up with our house over the years.

I hired Reid to do the work on my downtown austin condo after a flood. He handled everything from…read morethe pack out of my items, removing all of the water from my house walls and ceilings and the rebuilding the 1st and 2nd floor water damage. The project estimate was about 20k and he finished the job on time and under budget. The things I liked most working with him was that he checked in with me daily, the work he and his crew performed was craftsman grade and he was under budget. I would strongly recommend Reid and his crew for your job too.

I've known Reid for many years now and have had many a friend use him while remodeling. When we…read moredecided to update our house, he was the only person I wanted to work with. Reid knows the importance of doing things right the first time and has an amazing eye for detail as well as problem solving skills. I can't even count the number of times we ran into issue (you know how older homes can be) and he would sit down and come up with a solution that was both economical, high-quality, and matched what we wanted. Many other reviewers have said this and I will reiterate it. Reid treats your house as his own. I never doubted that our home wasn't in good hands and had no qualms about handing him the keys and coming by when needed. We have been in our renovated home for a couple of months now and everything is top-notch. Besides loving it ourselves, we have had more compliments than I can even count. If you are looking for someone who has an eye for OCD-level details, impeccable quality of work and a badass crew, he is your guy.

He came with Russell, and together they completed the work with precision and care. He was honest and upfront from the beginning. What impressed me the most was that he didn't take any payment until the job was fully done. I've had experiences in the past where someone started a job and left it incomplete, but not this time. He finished everything perfectly, and I couldn't be more thankful!. Highly recommend him.

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.

From the start, Marc distinguished himself with his meticulous attention to detail, particularly in his cost estimates, which were accurate and transparent. What stood out to us the most was Marc's ability to formulate a clear, comprehensive plan and execute it on schedule, without any unexpected delays or issues, despite us adding new things throughout the process. His organizational skills and dedication to timely completion were evident throughout the project, making the entire process smooth and stress-free for us as homeowners. Additionally, Marc's craftsmanship and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect of the work done. He went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was addressed, resulting in a flawless finish that exceeded our expectations.
