Lisa and Kris made our bathroom remodel feel effortless from start to finish. The quality of work…read moreis top-notch, and Kris's attention to detail ensured every last thing was done right. They handled everything from ordering to coordinating subcontractors, so we never had to deal with the typical remodeling headaches. They also made the design and selection process easy, guiding us toward options that fit both our needs and budget without ever feeling pressured. The project stayed perfectly on schedule, which feels almost unheard of in remodeling, and they kept the space so clean that it barely felt like we were living through construction. Most importantly, we ended up with our dream bathroom. We're already planning our next project together!

Can't say enough good things about working with Kris! We've been through a couple of renovations…read moreand have worked with a lot of contractors, and Kris definitely rises above. We were so impressed with his proactive communication, the design aesthetic he brought to even small details, and his speed and efficiency. He was very honest and knowledgeable, letting us know what areas he had expertise in and where he felt he needed to bring in other help. In the end the work was beautiful and extremely well done. Very very happy, highly recommend.

Cliff calls back when you call him, he comes when he says he's going to come, he works efficiently, and his craftsmanship is excellent.

I highly recommend Avalon Glass Specialists.

It's quite possible this isn't even a real business, but rather just a fall guy for Perkins…read moreFlooring, which I reviewed separately. Just in case, I will give EVCO the benefit of a review; it's the least I can do for them after they scammed me out of over $2000. Let me just keep it short and simple and refer you to the Perkins Flooring review, which gives the long version of the story (http://www.yelp.com/biz/perkins-flooring-austin?hrid=nUKLAKZtJUAAzOOyJ0gRNw). The work this contractor was shoddy in every respect, and they don't take any responsibility for their mistakes. The principal made me sign a contract (I'll never fall for this one again) which he is now using to try to insist I pay them the remainder of what I "owe" even though they didn't finish the work and left me with an unusable subfloor that I will now have to tear out at my expense and find someone else to construct again. There are many disreputable, sleazy construction contractors in Austin and also a few good and honest ones. Try and find one of the honest ones. If the person you're hiring is kind of pushy and insistent that you sign a contract with a lot of questionable clauses (must go to arbitration in case of a dispute, etc..) take this as a sign that they have been in many disputes with previous customers and make your exit as quickly as possible. You don't want to be one of those customers; i.e. you don't want to be me: out over $2000 and further away from my goal than I was when I started.

I would just like to start out by saying finding reliable & good quality contractors in our area…read morewhere they are so vast is not as easy to find as one might think! The best way to find someone or something we can trust is by reputation or recommendation ... am I right? Now where do we go for that?? hmmmm??? I wonder... I am blogging my review from my own personal experience for my home & a friend/neighbor's home done by Evco Remodeling. The project-to keep simple was for new countertops, back splash & all new fixtures in our home to prepare it to sell. After calling and personally speaking with the owner, Roger, I felt more than comfortable setting an appointment. He answered almost all of my bazillion & bizarre questions as I was pretty much trying to force a quote over the phone :) The next day the hubby & I met with him and just by him being so accurate with the "pre-quote" over the phone and his professional advice & demeanor my we decided he had more knowledge than the previous contractors we had met. We went forward. Roger went over a simple 2 page contract with us binding us together (which I do NOT agree with the guys comment below WHATSOEVER, I think there should be a contract in place... for your protection and theirs) and then we paid half of our price at the time we signed and was told we would pay the rest on the last day! Work started almost IMMEDIATLY... the men were very nice, dressed appropriately and in hopes to not "offended" anyone reading this I'll keep it simple by saying these were not your usual contractors coming into our home. They were polite, clean, wiped their feet and I could tell they were really going out of their ways to make my family and I feel comfortable while in our space- which most certainly has to be harder said than done! I watched as the work was being done and never questioned if something was right or wrong, never had any worries, issues about them showing up on time, or work not getting finished. The owner would call and ask how things were going and he was also stopping by and doing MUCH supervising! I basically never had any questions on concerns with the work being done. All said and done my home turned out to beautiful... almost to the point my husband and I didn't want to sell anymore!!!! :) It was like a brand new home!! Who would of known what a HUGE difference a little remodeling can do for your house! If it wasn't for our relocation back to Houston I would still be there now. Just keep in mind if you are in the Austin area and need remodeling that Evco treated me AMAZING from start to finish. The work, people & prices were great and completely exceeded our expectations. So, if you, fellow yelper, need a great remodeling company my experience is well worth you giving them a chance! They 100% have my recommendation!

We found their gorgeous home in Central Austin when looking at another one of their listings and even though it was still under construction, it just had that WOW FACTOR when we walked in! My husband and I just had to have the home and were so excited that we put in an offer before it was even listed for sale! Chester, Macon, and Keith were so kind and so wonderful to work with. My husband and I had some issues with our lender who kept trying to move the close date around and we were so grateful that Greater Austin Builders were so willing to work with us during such a stressful time. When we did our walkthrough, Chester and Macon were so wonderful to point out all of the amazing details that we didn't even realize our house had. They really have an outstanding high quality build and make use of every space possible. From the details of only using high quality paint, to using the more expensive finishes to make the house really pop, to even building a gorgeous deck and staining it close to 5 times so it would look perfect, as well as thinking of every detail we might want such as areas to wire in surround sound, soft close cabinets, top of the line appliances, epoxy on the floor of the garage, shelving in the garage, hardi plank siding, painting every tiny smudge and being more critical than we were, as well as putting in the best sod (most expensive) and even letting us pick our trees....these guys were AMAZING!! If we ever decide to move, you bet that I will be calling Greater Austin Builders to help build our next home. I highly recommend them!! Thanks again GAB Team!!
