Before they will even consider your job, you have to pay $300. This is to get them to go look at…read morethe site and provide a bid. I paid that and it took me a few months to get the money together to get the work done. I understand that after a certain amount of time, the circumstances might have changed, but refusing to go back out and verify that without another payment is absurd. Once I told them that I was ready to go, I had to wait another month before they finally told me that it would cost me another $100 to get them out there to verify the original bid, and they had no documentation of the bid other than some scribbled notes from the first visit. Go elsewhere. These folks aren't worth your time or money.

We were going to repair our old deck, but when code compliance showed up, we had to apply for a…read morebuilding permit. When we went looking for a contractor to build the new deck, we found Austin Outdoor Builders through their listing on Yelp and their website. Kit called me within a couple of days of my email, and really impressed me with his knowledge and experience with decks. I was concerned about City of Austin inspections, and he was very reassuring, pointing out that he talks to the inspectors by phone regularly. He booked a time to go over the engineering plan and the site, and again, I was very impressed when we met. He spoke of extensive experience in building decks, and asked questions about the site and the plan that reflected this. The quote was not cheap, but what is these days? My main concern was that they do the job properly and work with COA inspectors. Work started within a couple of weeks, and I was quite pleased with how the workers did their job. The only delay was to find an engineer to certify the footings before pouring the concrete. I had originally expressed concern about the durability of the support timbers, and Kit offered to coat them before laying the decking. Imagine my surprise when I found them painting the framing with high end professional oil based enamel! The only other delay was the week of the ice storm when Austin was closed for the duration. I was lucky to have family to remove the trees that fell on the lumber in the yard, because the next Monday they were back at work. Both the framing and final inspections went very smoothly and I am delighted with my new deck. I recommend Austin Outdoor Builders to anyone needing a deck.

I'll talk more about our full experience below, but a couple of months ago we had a terrible storm in our neighborhood and a very large tree (at least 25 feet tall) fell directly on our fence. Despite a direct hit, the fence stood firm with only a small dent in the cap board. Talk about quality work! More broadly, our experience was great. We worked with a super helpful person laying out the task who made some fantastic design suggestions (totally not on our radar) that we're really happy with. The work was done efficiently to mimimize the amount of time we had to keep our dog out of the yard. And when seasonal shifting made it impossible to open our gate, they came and fixed it months after the work was done. Great experience all around and would recommend to anyone.

UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE, SEVERE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE This…read moreguy could use a serious course in how to handle situations as a business owner. WOW. After hiring him 5 weeks ago to replace 2 trees in our front yard we noticed one wasn't looking great while the other was thriving. Upon further inspection, we discovered the tree was dead and not just died dead like dead dead. The whole tree from top to bottom was as dry as a bone several layers into the trunk along with branches snapping off like nothing. I texted him nicely to go over the situation and he immediately started gaslighting me that I killed the tree. Every single time he would ask me about how I did something. I would tell him, then he would come up with another excuse of why I killed it. He then went by the house to check on it and tried to tell me I over saturated it and that's why it died, but that moisture was from us testing and running the bubblers a few hours before he showed up to see if that's what caused the tree to die. I can assure you a tree doesn't die and dry up completely tip to trunk in 5 weeks. Learn from my mistake, hire the other guy!

Full Nelson Landscaping did an outstanding job transforming our yard. They replaced our grass with…read morebeautiful zoysia, installed clean and well-laid gravel walkways along both sides of the house, and even took the time to treat the leftover sod in the front--something they didn't have to do, but it showed the kind of pride they take in their work. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. They were always willing to answer questions and offer helpful advice on how to maintain the yard moving forward, which we really appreciated. It's rare to find a company that combines high-quality craftsmanship with good character, but that's exactly what you get with Full Nelson Landscaping. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space.

I highly recommend that you avoid John from Texas Design and Renovation at all costs. We hired him…read morefor a backyard patio project, and he has taken $29,136.24 of our money and left the job nearly a quarter completed. It has been over 4 months, and the work remains unfinished. Worse yet, our backyard is now a mess of dirt, dry leaves, and cut greenery, creating a serious fire hazard. John has continuously given excuses for why he can't complete the job. At one point, he claimed a family emergency, and at another, he said his worker was taken away by ICE. Now, he has completely stopped responding to us, leaving our project abandoned and our property in a dangerous condition. I would not trust John or his company with any work. It's clear he is not reliable, and based on our experience, I strongly recommend that you do not hire him. He has shown himself to be untrustworthy and irresponsible, leaving us with an incomplete project and a mess to clean up. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere.

Bryan promptly responded with an estimate for a gate replacement with and without posts, which I appreciated so I could make a quick decision on how to proceed with the 5+ responses I received. Bryan came out in person and reconfirmed the rates which were competitive with other bids I had received. The timing worked to refer him to a neighbor who also needed a new gate so he was able to do both of our jobs during the same time. I appreciated the fact he could replace the backyard fence rails and re-use the pickets for eco and cost reasons. He educated me on the pros/cons of using pressure treated lumber for the back of the gate and because I chose the pressure treated lumber, he will come back in a few months to stain it, the whole gate, and the 1.5 pickets that needed to be replaced. He oversaw the work directly. He and his helper finished the initial job in about 2.5 days, ahead of the bad weather. Bryan was responsive and easy to communicate with via text. He sent a proposal via an online app that was easy to review and sign. He accepts Venmo and credit cards, but there is a % charge for using credit cards.

My wife and I contracted Timberline Painting & Outdoor Living to construct a 20' x 20' covered…read morepatio, with concrete slab extension, for our backyard. Tim (owner) was excellent to deal with during the bidding process. Prior to locking a contract with Tim, we received quotes from four other companies, and Timberline provided the most complete overview of the job, expectations, and timelines. The attention to detail during this initial phase of the process left us with peace of mind and also allowed us to consider additional design details we were not immediately aware of. Once construction started, Timberline was extremely punctual and kept a very clean job site. Timberline's carpenters, painters, masons, and electrician are outstanding. We desired a very "clean" look to our outdoor living space, and Timberline guaranteed they would hide all wiring and even corrected some legacy aesthetic issues we had with the original wiring and siding. We are thrilled with how the new patio looks. The gabled roof with tongue and groove cedar ceiling is exactly the design my wife envisioned. She is very pleased with the craftsmanship. Timberline also worked with us to install a stone bar with limestone counter. The bar was measured to specification, in order to fit an outdoor refrigerator and incoming outdoor kitchen alongside it. Timberline matched the stone (Chocolate Oklahoma) with our pool to tie the backyard together and make both projects look as if they were planned out from day one. In addition, we also had Timberline's electrician install 6 recessed Philips Hue lights, a Philips Hue wall sconce, a 55" LG TV, two ceiling fans and place electric outlets for Sonos One speakers. The lights, TV and Sonos speakers are Amazon Alexa voice enabled, which allows us to create a lovely voice controlled outdoor space. At present we are only waiting on installation of our outdoor kitchen and Kool Cote, neither of which are the responsibility of Timberline, to consider the Patio complete. I've attached a few photos of the work Timberline did and will add more once the final items are put in place.

Tim has a great understanding of the outdoor patio aesthetic and also how it should function. His carpenters were absolutely great and knocked out the project on time and with clear attention to detail. During the project Tim recommended we use Super Solar screens for the patio which would reduce heat during summer and also allow for maximum privacy for our screened patio. The project turned out better than expected and we are truly grateful for how well Timberline did on the job.
