My husband and I added 1200 square feet to our home including a new master suite, dining room and…read morefamily room. We couldn't be happier with our new space, and our experience with RisherMartin during the process was truly exceptional. They go above and beyond in every category. Here are a few of the things we appreciated: Professionalism - From our first conversation with RisherMartin, we felt as if we were dealing with true professionals. We interviewed many builders over the course of about a year without feeling like we'd found someone we could trust. As soon as we met with them, we knew we were in good hands. Communication - RisherMartin met with us in person at our home on a weekly basis and came with updated written progress of our project so we always knew what our current status was and what to expect in the coming week. We very rarely had to request information from them, but when we did have a question our calls/emails were always answered the same day (frequently within the hour). Quality - RisherMartin not only exceeded our expectations for quality on our entire project, they fixed several things we didn't even notice! Timeliness - We were expecting our first child when we began our project. RisherMartin promised us we'd be in before his arrival, and we were able to move into our new space literally the exact day they had projected for completion at the beginning of our project. Budget - RisherMartin was 100% within budget on our project. Our only over-runs were due to additional requests on our part and they were all handled immediately! We honestly have nothing but great things to say about RisherMartin, and we will most definitely use them again on our next project!! Kimberly and Bill Klein

They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, arranged the appointments to choose finishes around my schedule, and followed through on every single item that they said they would do. My husband was impressed because at each stage of the job, the house was always left clean - even after demo! I highly recommend working with RisherMartin. Best customer service, very quality work, and competitive pricing.

I hired Reid to do the work on my downtown austin condo after a flood.

The project estimate was about 20k and he finished the job on time and 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.

Top Notch can do almost anything you need done for your house and they'll do it for a reasonable price and at the time they said they would do it! It's even nicer that both Lana and Robert are great at responding to emails and texts as s that can make it WAY easier to communicate while you're stuck at work. I would highly recommend having them come out and give you an estimate on your next project.

I talked to Robert for about ten minutes. He didn't want to do quotes on evenings or weekends, but my husband and I both work. He eventually said "my wife will kill me, but I'll do it on an evening." He then said we both have to be there in case my husband and I argue and disagree on the work he does, and he couldn't put himself in a position between married people. That sounded a little weird to me, but he sounded nice otherwise, so I figured I'd give him a shot at the work. The next day, I got a voicemail from his wife canceling our appointment saying that we "weren't a good fit for them." I just wish they'd been honest from the beginning and not wasted my ten minutes writing down every detail of the work I wanted and all my contact information and where I'd heard of them if they were just going to cancel immediately afterward. The whole encounter was weird.

We contracted with Urban Home Builders and Gary Zygmont for a complete renovation of our 1940's…read morecottage. This was no run-of-the-mill job ... Gary and his team took our house down to the studs, destroyed and rebuilt the back 1/3 of the house to replace a crappy patio foundation that had been closed in at some point by previous owners, and added a second level. From the get-go, we had a stellar experience with Gary. During our introductory meeting, he spent as much time as we needed talking with us about our project, his process, and the way he does business, and did an exceptional job of setting our expectations up front. His ballpark estimate was right in line with the other bid we obtained, which immediately gave us confidence in his estimating. We signed with him without hesitation. About a month before the project was set to start, I realized I had completely lost my mind ... it was a *terrible* idea to move out of my home for 7 months. I was too chicken to call Gary on the phone, so I sent him an email telling him that I thought we should delay the project for at least 6 months because I just couldn't deal with it. Like the best therapist, Gary listened with compassion and then broke down my monumental, paralyzing mountain of stuff that had to be accomplished into its most basic elements. "I know it doesn't feel like it, but you're almost done with the hard work," he told us. He sent a list of what we needed to do, with deadlines (this is something he did countless times during the project, which was great!), and helped me get a grip. Much to my husband's relief, the project proceeded as planned. Did I mention that we expected to be out of our home for 7 months? Gary finished almost 2 months early. How? In my opinion, it's because he respects and watches out for his subs, and they return the favor by moving mountains to get stuff done for him. It was truly a joy to watch -- at one point during the project, one of our neighbors remarked that there were almost always people at our house, and they were *always* working. Speaking of our neighbors, living next to a project like ours can be a nightmare. Gary walked the neighborhood before the project started, talked with our neighbors about what to expect, and left letters with each neighbor with his personal contact information. I know of two times during the project when neighbors had complaints ... in both cases, Gary immediately -- and very diplomatically -- addressed them. Now that we're back in our gorgeous "new" home and we've paid the last bill, Gary's level of service hasn't faltered a bit. We've reached out to him with a couple questions and issues, and he has responded immediately, reached out to subs or vendors as necessary, and obtained exactly the "fixes" we believe are necessary - at no cost to us. The workmanship throughout our home is absolutely gorgeous, and the materials are of excellent quality and exactly as specified by us and our architect. He even added a number of "Gary-isms," such as rebuilding a fence for us (not in the contract -- we had planned to have him reinstall the old fence) because it faces the street and the old fence would have looked terrible against our shiny house. I can't recommend Gary and Urban Home Builders enough.
