What was presented to us as a three-week kitchen remodel with Canyon Construction became an…read moreeight-week ordeal marked by preventable mistakes, inadequate communication, and a persistent sense of dismissal that made the entire process far more stressful than it should have been. From the beginning, the owner, Calvin Ates, established an uncomfortable tone. Each time we attempted to ask a reasonable question, we were met with condescension. He repeatedly reminded us that our home was "old," even though it was built in 1998, and the implication was that our concerns lacked legitimacy. It is difficult to feel confident in a project when the person responsible for overseeing it responds to basic inquiries as though they are inconveniences. The mistakes themselves were significant. Before demolition, the electrical outlets on either side of the stove were perfectly level. After installation, one outlet was noticeably higher than the other, and the backsplash had already been installed over it. We were the ones who identified the issue, and we were required to prove that the outlets had been aligned originally. This should never occur in a professional remodel. The countertop presented another major problem. Once installed, the bar became unlevel. The proposed solution was to remove the countertop and wedge a piece of plywood underneath rather than address the structural issue that caused the imbalance. Although the bar appears level now, the plywood remains in place, and I have no way of knowing what the weight of the granite has done to the internal structure of the wall. Prior to this remodel, we had laminate countertops, which are significantly lighter. The sudden increase in weight makes the lack of a proper structural correction even more concerning. Because of these mistakes, the backsplash had to be redone on both the stove side and the bar, which extended the timeline even further. The cabinetry introduced its own set of problems. Several cabinet doors already have paint chipping, which should never be present in a newly completed kitchen. The cabinet design in the corner where one wall meets another is especially poor. The space is so difficult to access that retrieving a single pot requires getting on the floor and reaching deep into an area that was clearly not designed with functionality in mind. The area surrounding the refrigerator is also problematic. The top portion is squeezed tightly by a side panel, while the bottom portion has a noticeably wide gap. The result is an uneven, unfinished appearance that draws attention immediately. In one section of the kitchen, the cabinets, countertop, and backsplash would have looked a lot better if they all had been aligned. Unfortunately, they are not. The misalignment in the original layout would have been an ideal issue to correct in the new design, yet it was repeated instead. This was a missed opportunity to improve the space and demonstrate a lack of attention to detail. Material selection was equally frustrating. I originally wanted a porcelain sink. Mr. Ates recommended on a different material, assuring us that it would not chip. I trusted his professional recommendation in the same way one trusts a surgeon to understand the procedure they are performing. The sink that was installed looks like a laundry sink, stains horribly, and is extremely difficult to replace due to the way it was mounted. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone against selecting this type of sink for a kitchen. Communication with the crew was nearly impossible. They did not understand us when we attempted to point out issues, and once they began working, they would not stop. We had to watch problems unfold in real time without the ability to intervene or clarify. Although the kitchen is technically finished, the process left a lasting impression of frustration, disappointment, and a constant sense that we were fighting to have the most basic elements completed correctly. If you choose to work with this company, I strongly recommend taking detailed photographs of everything before the project begins, documenting each stage of the remodel, and recording the condition of all appliances and machinery, including what is functioning properly and what is not. Preparation is essential. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Canyon Construction.

I've owned my home in Austin for 15 years. I've seen every type of contractor you can imagine. I'm…read moreproud to say that I have FINALLY found the best one yet: Sky-Lan. I'm calling them for everything that I need from here on out. Skylur came recommended to me by an electrician I trust. I had just finished paying another contractor 50% of the job when he flat-out disappeared on me and left me with a half-demo'd hall and bath (yep, tale as old as time). Skylur was extremely sympathetic to my situation and came over immediately! He looked at the current gutted bathroom and provided a quote within a couple of days. The quote was extremely fair for such a large amount of detailed work. His quote was less than ABC who wanted more money for far less work (ABC was just going to do patch jobs...but Skylur removed and replaced all drywall so it was perfectly seamless and brand new!) Skylur is patient, professional, and knows exactly what he's talking about and how to best solve a problem. He answers every single call or text right away. The communication is outstanding; fast, clear and always "yes, can do!" which is huge for me. He doesn't push back or say "well...that'll cost more." He just happily gets it done for the price he quoted and sticks by his word. For this project, I needed pocket door installation, major drywall repair, new baseboards, new trim, prime/painting, vanity installation, electric work. It was a very detailed and technical job (and I am admittedly pretty OCD when it comes to my house projects). Skylur made some smart suggestions that would not only get the job done, but look 1000% times better--aka: brand new. Our old hallway and bathroom were dark, crusty (bad caulk jobs over the years) with layers and layers of terrible texture and paint. Look at the photos and you'll see what a difference Sky-Lan made. Our new hallway and bath are bright, clean and about as perfect as I could ask for. Our kids finally have a bathroom that's bright and fun. There was a team of two who worked every day from 8:30am until past 6pm until the job was done. They protected the floor, covered all the walls and worked quickly and quietly. Every evening, Skylur would personally come over to inspect the work and make a plan for the next day. If I had any questions or concerns, Skylur was there to address them. We would walk through the progress for the day and I could just point to things I was thinking about. His answer to every question was "Yep, we can do that" or "Yes, we'll get that taken care of." Every night, the team swept, cleaned up all tools and materials, and removed the old plastic from the walls. Then the next day, they set up new plastic and got right to work, minimizing dust. Drywall/demo can be messy, but they were the neatest, most respectful crew I've seen yet. I even had a few huge ceiling cracks with some water damage in a nearby living room. While they had the materials, Skylur's team fixed those cracks and painted the repaired part of the ceiling and wall at no extra charge. And not once did Skylur say that something would cost extra to do it right. He just did it the right way to begin with. There was never any nickel and diming. Even after I paid in full, Skylur came back over to touch up a few things and install the pocketdoor hardware that I ordered. He also helped plumb the sink for the new vanity when I couldn't quite get it myself. Learn from me: don't hire the "guy with a truck" to save some money (that guy will take the money and run). And don't hire the big ABC guys off the internet who just want to charge the most money for the least work. Hire Sky-Lan for the personal service and attention to every detail on your job. His crew is talented and put a lot of time and effort into the job. The craftsmanship is top-notch. And as we all know, no job is perfect. So if there's something you see that you want done just a little differently, his team will do it with no questions asked. Skylur does not charge you until you say the job is done. No other contractor does that. He's truly one of the greats, and I'm glad I found him. Just wish I knew about him 15 years ago! Skylur and Sky-Lan are my new go-to contractors. Hire them, get the job done quickly and beautifully for a price you're comfortable with--then move on to the next project with Sky-Lan!
