Our house in the Rice Military area had water leaks in multiple areas, and had regressed badly through the years. Needless to say, a significant repair work was needed - covering stucco exterior, roof, roofdeck replacement, sheetrock, walls, and re-paint. After receiving quotes from multiple contractors, I agreed with GQ Homes' bid and got the work started.
GQ gave me the best cost estimate, which I felt was commensurate to the work. The bid was cheaper than the others, yet more Inclusive of a variety of work.
I met the individual trades that GQ uses, and felt comfortable that they were very competent in their trades. I was very particular about this as the house had some faulty construction to begin with, and a previous repair job didn't last long either.
When work started in April, Oscar, GQ Homes' owner/manager, kept me up to date with the progress on a daily basis. Any variance to the planned work was consulted with me prior to doing the change. I was very pleased with the communication overall.
The repair lasted more than a month, against a rough plan of one month. Blame the weather for that, when heavy rains hit Houston for days and days and gave us record rainfall levels! But that turned out to be a blessing, as it was a great test to check any leaks and moisture in the areas that were already completed. Thankfully, the repairs were done in excellent quality, and to this day, there are no more leaks in the house.
The final bill went slightly over the budget estimate. I knew this would've been the case. Not only was Oscar upfront about this possibility, but I know more than enough after watching countless episodes of HGTV fixer-upper shows where there's always a surprise once you open things up!
I would highly recommend Oscar and his GQ Homes company for house repair or renovation work. Two of my neighbors with similar issues followed suit and got GQ to do their repairs. Our home is now leak-free, warrantied, and just hoping no new issues come up. But if they do, I know who to call. read more
