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. I have been super happy with the communication, quality and final product of this bath remodel and plan to refer him to other friends and clients. They know what they are doing and run a professional well streamlined operation.

On the restoration project, we had to go through insurance, and Morgan made the process even simpler than I could have imagined. They know how to do the job right, and they stand by their work. Morgan, Brooks, and their team are very professional and do their best to be as least disruptive as possible during the work. Most importantly, they are extremely trustworthy, and I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of on pricing or timeline, which seems like a very rare find in this industry. Honestly, by the end of it, it felt like we were working with friends. I highly recommend Mervin & Son's: 10/10, no notes. I give their name out anytime people talk about home renovation plans! Thank you, Mervin & Sons!

I have worked on many projects over the years and I will always give these guys first crack at anything I want done. They finished the job ahead of schedule which, as most of you know, is never the case with construction. The owners were on the job site almost the entire time and the subs working with them are top notch. Give these guys a shot on your next project. You won't be disappointed.

Jeremy and his crew just finished a complete kitchen and laundry room renovation and I couldn't be…read moremore pleased! I'm very picky about details. Jeremy and Daniel made sure every single item was included, corrected, or changed to what I wanted. They started demo on the date and time promised and made quick work of the old cabinets/shelving. Daniel was on site every day at the exact same time and worked on site until the end of the day, sometimes longer. It gave me complete peace of mind to know that I could trust and rely on them showing up every day but also on the quality of the work. I was also very happy with the other trades they brought in to the project. They were open to my questions, suggestions, and a couple changes along the way. They made sure to always communicate clearly to me throughout the project. I've used Everything Under the Son for smaller projects as well, like re-tiling my fireplace, installing a privacy fence at the side of my house, and installing new vanity/sinks in two bathrooms, from the extra material left over from my quartz countertops in the kitchen. These days when looking for a contractor, number one concern is reliability along with a reasonable cost. You'll get that along with quality work!

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 mean.. now that they've finished all that stuff for us I guess it's ok to let you all know how great they are :)

My husband and I are looking to remodel our bathrooms. Carrie C's glowing review of Top Notch…read moresounded great! So I put them on our list of people to call to come out for a quote. 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.
