I found Brandon and his team on-line and saw the wonderful reviews. I called him as well as 5 other companies for quotes. He responded very quickly and came out the same week. Most other companies have not even responded yet or I'm still getting texts from them asking when they can give a quote, but Brandon is already finished with the 4 day project. Brandon's quote was spot on (my brother has a similar company out of state but I asked him in advance what a reasonable price expectation would be). We are very pleased with the outcome! The whole team is very professional, prompt, and skillful. I will definitely be using them again!

My husband and I contracted Triton to help us with a substantial remodel of our recently purchased…read moretownhome in Austin. They responded immediately after our call and we received an estimate within the week. Triton assigned a project manager, Matt, to oversee all the subcontractors and be our interface for design choices and project scope changes. He was amazing. We were still living in Houston during this time and he sent detailed project progress reports and photos every week. When the subcontractors would discover a problem, Matt would contact us immediately with the details and a number of solutions with the cost alternatives. The subcontractors they choose did an outstanding job under Matt's supervision and we are extremely pleased with the quality of the work. Triton gave us 4 week estimate and even with the addition of several items they managed to complete the project on time. Truly loved our experience with this company and would recommend them to everyone!!!!

We love our Half Bath to Full Bath complete remodel done by IV Remodeling!…read more Our project was a bit complicated due to a COMPLETE Bathroom Transformation, which entailed relocation of Laundry Room to Garage to enlarge bathroom space, removal of wall and door to extend Half Bath to Full Bath, relocation of vanity & toilet for a rain shower install, raised ceiling, and a complete install of floor & wall tile. IV Remodeling was the only company out of 10 companies contacted that gave us a very detailed point by point estimate. The owner, project manager, and the crew was very friendly, helpful and experienced with all aspects of the install. The entire team was always there for any questions we had during the entire remodeling process. The project came out exactly how we wanted it and we love it Very Much! We really appreciate everything the team done for us and of course we highly recommend IV Remodeling and will use them for future projects! Thank You IV Remodeling! 5 Star Service we are very happy with. Theron & Noah Jenkins

Few days later sent me an email advising they "recommend" having their design consultant, come out and do her design thing. It would cost $100 and if we liked the estimate it would go towards the cost. I don't need it and didn't ask for it. I guess that's there way of charging for an "estimate" Melissa also said the owner is a designer. If that's so, his expertise should be part of the process automatically. You know, the cost of doing business. I read in a previous review that their estimate was done contactless with photos sent by the customer. Looks like that's NOT their process any longer. I'm guessing they have enough work and don't need any new stuff??

Trust me - They are the best, you will not find a builder who cares about your wants and desires as much as this team.

The bid was well organized and fair. Once we accepted, they scheduled us quickly. It was a huge job, and so they sent a huge crew of people.

They got around all over the inside and outside of our house with the only way into tell a few hours later that they'd been here, the fact that now all our windows plus the exteriors of our house, we're sparkling clean. Westlake Home must be very well managed, and surely they treat their people right, in order to have such a huge crew work with such precision and energy. It was a great experience and I'd hire them again for other things based on it. I learned they offer a painting service. I bet I'll be using Westlake for that next. I highly recommend!

She helped me with the flooring, lighting fixtures, bathroom vanity, just everything really and she introduced me to Non-VOC paints and there was no terrible paint smell or chemicals that give me a headache when they were painting or during the drying process. The wood work was done by a very talented young man named David that they have on their team and he is very skilled, puts the finishing touch on the room. They kept in touch with me daily and Alix stopped by several times to cehck on the progress, she brought me flowers and a beautiful gift basket with a massage gift card because she knows the renovation process can be stressful when you are living in your home! I highly recommend them.

Raquel and Diego came in and not only gave us some great ideas about possible changes but really thought outside the box in terms of coming up with solutions. For example, switching out an old gas range with a bad downdraft vent led to new venting options and our being able to use the previous venting for the new electrical needed to power a new easy-to-keep-clean induction range. This meant we didn't have to rip up the ceiling to run a new 220 electrical line. Additionally, we wanted to replace the existing two-tiered kitchen island covered in grouted tile with a single level of stainless steel. Apparently, stainless steel is a choice not many people make, but Raquel did the research and found a sub-contractor that did outstanding work. We're extremely happy with the result. Raquel was great about meeting with us to talk design choices, Diego was great about keeping everything on time and on budget. Communication with both was great throughout. We would recommend Raquel and Diego highly and would definitely use D&R again in the future.

Unprofessional Conduct by Lonestar Contracting - Abandoned project before completion…read more Lonestar Contracting based in Lago Vista/Leander, Texas, is owned by Mike Nichols. Mr. Nichols' company was contracted for several projects at my house in August 2020. The comments below are about the painting and staining of most of the exterior wood and metal surfaces and some interior wood surfaces of the house. On 9/28/20, Mr. Nichols notified the me by text message that he would not complete the painting and staining work on my house due to an issue with the new paint on the steel beams. He would not answer phone calls to discuss the issues and possible options or his reasoning for quitting the project. He would only respond by text and email. Paint issues with the steel beams: The house has steel beams supporting the deck that have been previously painted without issue. The existing paint had been in place for 10+ years. Overall, the paint was in good condition for its age. It did have some spots on the metal that needed sanding where the paint had flaked off. After Mr. Nichols' company painted the beams, the new paint could be scraped away in places using a fingernail with very light pressure. Mr. Nichols was notified by text and with a picture on 9/10/20 that the paint was coming off the beams in places. He came onsite the week of 9/14/20 and directly observed the issue. On 9/24/20 Mr. Nichols was onsite and talking with his sub-contractor about the issue. He communicated that he was trying to determine a solution. He did say that the only attempt to resolve the issue at that point was light sanding in spots. There had been no other attempts to test possible solutions to the paint peeling. Abandoned job because it was more cost effective for Lonestar Contracting: On 9/28/20 Mr. Nichols communicated by text that he could not determine a solution for the paint peeling and that "It's more cost effective to let you have the work, labor and materials we've already completed and not bill you." While he did not bill me for the work completed, he left the interior and exterior painting and staining of the wood surfaces incomplete. He did not provide any cost estimates of potential solutions for the steel beams before abandoning the job. He offered no resources for people that may be able to help with the steel beams. He ran into a difficulty on the project and then abandoned the job because "It's more cost effective" for him. He chose himself rather than helping his customer resolve the issue. He left the job partially done. He could have at least had an in-person conversation with me about the beam issues. He could have completed the painting and staining of the wood surfaces and been paid for that portion of the project. Instead he chose to abandon the job by text because it made sense for him. He also removed the new paint on 9/24/20 from the location so now I do not have the paint formula codes needed to match the paint that was used. It was requested that he provide a picture of the paint formula codes and he has not responded to that request. Mr. Nichols communicated that because he was not going to bill me for the incomplete work, he was absolved of any further responsibility. That is true, he is not billing or seeking to collect money for that part of the job. I am not seeking any sort of remedy or performance from him. I am sharing this information with the community because it is important to know how he handled this situation.
