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.

We sought out AOB to replace a chainlink fence around our yard with an updated wood fence about 18…read moremonths ago. All around, our experience was wonderful, and they do high quality work. 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.

She finally offered us a 50% discount, but we were still left with two cracked countertops. If I could leave a zero star review, I would. Stay away from this company.

I've been nothing less that happy on every project. The selection is on of the best in Austin and often if I found something when I was in NYC or California, Stephanie would track it down for me and try to get it. She helped keep my projects organized and was always up to date on the status of each project. Their new showroom is great,,,,sort of a trek but worth it.

Tony did an incredible job while on site (no detail or corner unturned!) and was equipped with the latest technology (drones, meters, sensors). Tony was efficient but extremely thorough in his report. Everything was EASY to understand, honest, and carefully reviewed. On top of that? Tony is just a great guy with an incredible amount of life experiences. Tony knows houses and he legitimately cares about you knowing your future home too. My husband and I have purchased dozens of homes between the two of us.... and Tony is by far the best, most trustworthy inspector we have ever worked with to date!

The Management here may be the MOST incompetent I have ever come across in 30+ years. There is ALWAYS something major happening on the property. If it isnt Tree trimming that last for 2+months (the worst) or them doing Roof repairs, then its something else. They will literally chop down a tree ON your car and not blink an eye. There isnt a day that passes where this property isnt crawling with Third Party workers workin on something. If you work at home or you want peace or you care about your property (car)...Do NOT MOVE HERE!!
