In May of 2025, a micoburst storm severely damaged our home in East Austin, to the point of it…read morebeing a full gut job down to the interior framing. What made an already stressful situation even harder was having to part ways with our original contractor and start over midway through the process. By the time we found Matt and his team at Bailey & Bear, we were exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly a little wary. Hiring Bailey & Bear ended up being the BEST decision I have ever made as a homeowner. His team built back our entire home, so essentially my whole house was built by Bailey & Bear. I will ALWAYS work with Matt and his team for any future construction needs. From the very beginning, Matt earned our trust. He stepped into a complicated project, took the time to understand where things stood, and helped us create a path forward. Throughout the entire rebuild, he was patient, communicative, and incredibly responsive. I mean, responding within MINUTES. No question was too small, and no concern was brushed aside. In a process that can often leave homeowners feeling powerless, Matt consistently made us feel heard and supported. It was a NIGHT AND DAY difference from any previous experiences I've had with other contractors. What stands out most to me is that Matt genuinely cares. He helped us navigate the stressful decisions with a level head, and always approached challenges with a calm, solution-oriented attitude. He and his crew treat your house as a home (not just a construction zone) when they're on site. The high level of respect & integrity remained the same for the entire time we worked together, which was months. The quality of the work speaks for itself. Our home is GORGEOUS. We've had friends (who work in the industry) make several comments about how the attention to detail on the finish work is impressive. Every room reflects the care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that Bailey & Bear brought to the project. There were countless moving pieces, and somehow Matt kept everything progressing while maintaining a level of transparency and professionalism that is increasingly rare. After living through a major home loss, I can say with complete confidence that who you choose as your contractor matters as the single more important decision for a home remodel. I am so so so grateful that we found Bailey & Bear. Matt helped guide us through one of the most stressful experiences of our lives and delivered a home that we are genuinely proud of. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your home, you ABSOLUTELY MUST hire Matt and his team. I'd be happy to personally speak with anyone considering his bid!

I never had to ask for updates as Matt was literally at the job checking the work daily or every other day and sent me photo updates throughout. His quality of work was excellent.

The Bath was completely gutted to the studs and reconstructed, the Kitchen was a complete renovation, but we maintained the basic layout. We replaced countertops, backsplash, all appliances; added a wine refrigerator, a professional type range and a warming draw at the bottom of the oven/microwave wall unit. We had to reconfigure a number of the cabinets to accommodate the additional appliances. We also replaced all cabinet doors and draw fronts, in addition to refinishing the base cabinets and reconfiguring some cabinets into drawers. In addition to being extremely professional in the quality of the construction, Scott was also very helpful in guiding us through the selection of materials. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and he help suggest certain materials and finishes that would achieve my goals. Everything he suggested was spot on. I couldn't be happier. I was also extremely pleased with the quality of subcontractors he utilized. They were all extremely professional and the quality of their work was outstanding. I intend to call Scott soon to renovate our Master Bath.

Rick and his team did a wonderful job of working within our very strict budget to create the…read morekitchen I dreamed of in our new home. Rick wasn't afraid of special requests and worked creatively to accomodate all of my wants, needs, and wishes. Rick helped us to source ideal materials for our kitchen and made suggestions that helped enhance the functionality of the space. Additionally, we have a toddler and his team did an excellent job working to accomodate nap schedules, playgroups, and cleaning up diligently to ensure our little one's safety in our home during construction. Several months after the remodel, when I had one or two minor issues (so small that I can no longer even recall what it was), Rick came out personally to fix them and ensure that everything was still meeting his standard of excellence. One of my dogs recently chewed one of the cabinet facings that housed the built in trash can, and Rick- who paid careful attention to my love for my baking and cookbook collection- also helped me to come up with a cookbook cabinet solution that will be built to put in its place (and will be far less enticing to our hungry pups!). We plan to do a gut remodel of our master bathroom in the near future, and we will use Austin Kitchen and Bath for that as well without hesitation.
