I had used Highland in 2018 when foundation issues were suspected. The engineer came out, provided…read morethe report and there were no issues with my experience. May 2025 comes along with more suspected foundation issues. Matt came out and was friendly, professional and seemed very knowledgeable. Fee was what I was quoted and was paid that day. It is now July 2025 and I have never received my report. I've emailed and texted. I've actually spoken to him twice and was assured my report was forthcoming. The last time I heard from him he said he was returning my fee, which he actually did. Still no report. I'm disappointed in Matt. I expected better. I don't know what's going on, but I'm assuming this company is in trouble. Sad.

The experience was great: he was responsive, did a thorough job, and report provided. Fast forward to January 2023 when he came back out to the same house.... It's been a year and a half and I still have not received my report after his visit on 1/4/23. He totally fell off the planet and never responded to my emails or calls for the report. Eventually I gave up. Fast forward to July 2024. I attempt again and actually get a text and a call back from Matt. I requested my report from Jan 2023. He said I'll have it by that evening. Not surprised to say I never received it and he has ghosted me again with no replies to my texts and calls. I must assume he never did one after his visit. Just pick another company, I'll never call him again.

Five stars for Hawkins Siding! I recently hired Hawkins Siding and Exteriors for a full exterior…read moreupdate following a terrible job by another contractor, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Tyler and his team were professional and incredibly helpful when I had questions. They installed new Hardie siding and trim, new gutters, and painted. There were issues with the framing and the fact that I had no insulation but they didn't just cover up the issues like the other contractor --they fixed them right and I was so pleased with the outcome that I asked them to paint my garage to match the house. I highly recommend Hawkins for anyone looking for reliable exterior work. The pricing was competitive, the crew was dependable, kept the jobsite impressively clean, and the quality of work is excellent. It's rare to find a contractor in DFW who delivers exactly what they promise on schedule and within budget. If you want quality craftsmanship and a stress-free experience, I highly recommend Hawkins!

BEFORE HIRING HAWKINS, READ THIS REVIEW AND OUR 99 REASONS WE DON'T RECOMMEND HAWKINS--ESPECIALLY…read moreIF CHILDREN LIVE IN YOUR HOME. Imagine hiring a contractor to improve your home, then discovering after the crew leaves that newly installed exterior doors cannot reliably lock, storm doors lack functioning handles or locks, and some entrances cannot be used normally. Now imagine realizing this while your child sleeps inside. Our project involved five exterior doors, four storm doors, James Hardie siding, and closing an exterior window. At one stage, three of four storm doors lacked essential operating hardware. We had to ask: Can we secure our home tonight? Could we use these doors during an emergency? Is our child safe? We could not postpone urgent corrections indefinitely while the owner blocked us, so on our own, we hired consultants to investigate the concerns and offer recommendations. The project was expected to be completed March 16-20, 2026, but remained unresolved months later. Hawkins continued demanding $9,577.20, which we disputed based on incomplete work, corrective costs, credits, reduced scope, and the undelivered door. Because of Hawkins lack of quality control in all aspects of its business, poor documentation and communication, and the countless risks associated with their unacceptable quality of workmanship, we hired consultants and other contractors, involved attorneys, disputed the balance, and completely lost trust & confidence. Don't make the same mistake no matter how "nice" the sales guy seems.

Some brickwork is cracked around suspended arches and cornerstone decorative pieces (e.g. above garage doors) but obviously has been for decades. I specifically called Cornerstone because I wanted a serious contractor who does actual poured footings, not that stacked cylinder mess that could actually crack your foundation worse as they use your house for the jack leverage. Dave was on time, courteous and (given that our appointment was in the middle of the Viral Apocalypse) understanding that I was working from home instead of 'off' for the day of our appointment. We spoke for a bit, he outlined everything well and asked pertinent questions about my reasons for calling, then got down to work inspecting...and recommended no work be done at this time. I offered to pay a service charge but he said that wasn't necessary. We did follow up on the phone briefly (I was busy when he was finished) and I am strongly considering coming back to them for some drainage improvements here and there as precautionary measures. Thanks for the time and professionalism.

My daughter has a condo…read moreand needed work done - she contacted a big box store (whole other story - it was a horrible delaying experience). I found Allan and called him. He set up an appt. within days, arrived on time, listened to my project. Tuesday reviewed project (it's a small job but to us it's major undertaking). I figured it would take weeks (big box said). NO. It was done in less than a week - and when we found an issue - he had it fixed before I was finished telling him about it. The installation of counters (in a world of uneven things) - I don't know where to begin - care was taken to demo, and install new counters and you cannot tell there was work done. I'm so impressed with Allan and his company - on time (ahead of schedule), on budget, flexible to what can afford, professional, dealt with difficulties. You can definitely count on Allan to get things done - top notch. He effectively worked around imperfections and produced perfection. Can't thank or recommend him enough. One of the best contractors I've ever worked with. Thank you so much.
