He discussed the scope of what I wanted, and we made an appointment (within a week!) to meet so he could look at it in person. Again, when he came out, I got a really solid sense that this man knew what he was doing. He didn't radiate charm or try to impress me, and that impressed me. I asked why I should have the old tile replaced, rather than sealing the cracks with, say, caulk, and he explained the downside to that (cheap) solution. He explained in detail the steps that his workers would take to remove the old tile and then install new waterproof barrier and the new tile. He gave me options--did I want a niche? What kind of grout did I want to use? Did I want to replace the shower? And he talked about price. Then he went back to his office and sent me a statement of work for approval. Then he sent me a quote, with a reminder of the unknowns involved that could change the costs. He scheduled the job about two weeks out, and recommended The Tile Shop for tile. They were very helpful (see my review of The Tile Shop). His workers were very professional, and they even taped plastic over the open walls when they finished removing the tile, so we could use the tub over the weekend. The installation went well, especially as we had to wait a day for the plumber to install the new shower. By the end of the next week it was complete and the grout was curing. I am so happy with Durrant Services, I am having them do other repairs on my roof and siding as well.

We got several contractors come out and a few gave us bids since it was such a small job. Don came over in the evening, explained his process, asked more questions than any other contractor, and got to us pretty fast. He provided us with a scope of work and then a bid once we had agreed in the work. He agreed to delay part of the project (building the roof) because we had some other cost come up. They came and did the work fast and well. I will use them again. Great work at a reasonable price

Nehemiah Young bid on a job to redo my roof with elastomeric coating and to re-shingle part of it…read more His price was very competitive, he showed up when he said he would, answered my questions, and completed the bid to my specifications. He did not win the bid, but only because I had previously dealt with a contractor for the other company and decided to go with them. I explained this to Mr. Young and he was very gracious about it. He is a go-getter with a great attitude, knows what he's talking about, and I recommend that you give him a shot at your next roofing project.

Austin Commercial Roofing came out to give me an estimate to fix a leak I showed them. It was…read morepricey but they said there was a 10 year warranty. So I paid them for the job. A few days later it rained and it leaked in the same exact spot. They said it was another point of entry and refused to take care of the leak I hired them to fix. They want more money to fix what they were supposed to fix in the first place. Now the carpet is getting moldy from all the rain we had and they won't even come out to take a look unless I pay them nore money. So the leak is not fixed and I have no 10 year warranty... The pictures show how bad the job was done. I would have not hired them if I knew they were not going to fix the leak.

His team did significant drywall work and painting; adding 30 sheets of drywall, taping, mudding, sanding and then priming and painting. All in about a week. If there were issues, he was totally willing to come by and touch-up. I also had him do some exterior house repairs. Plenty of rotten facia boards and plywood necessitating removal and replacement including removal of old gutters and adding new gutters. Great work. I would have no hesitation having this team do projects of any size as they are fully capable and prices are reasonable and competitive.

Red flags ignored. Ended up with footing for masonry wall that was 9 inches out of level, sloppy,…read moreand inadequate to safely support the load. Cost me dearly. Read on for details. I called Todd to build a cement block wall based on a recommendation from a neighbor. He was responsive at first and started quickly, but to my detriment I ignored a few red flags, including dodging my direct question before signing about the footing depth by telling me to read the testimonials on the website. I don't think Todd has ever done masonry. He seems to be a shrewd business person who connects customers to subcontractors without holding them to any uniform standard. The footing for this 57-foot long, 8-foot high wall was excavated and poured in a single day. It was 9 inches (yes, 9!!) out of level, not stepped but following the grade of the lot, and sloppy. When I confronted, Todd referred me to the heads of the crew. With some language barriers, they described only minor adjustments to "level" each block. They must have planned to lay them in snaky courses, either hoping the stucco would hide their sloppy work or not even having that much of a plan. Keep in mind we are talking about isometric, rectangular cement block, not natural stone. Furthermore, the footing was only 12 inches wide and went about 11 inches below grade to support a straight, heavy, 8-foot tall wall. I believe that I prevented a catastrophic failure down the road by cancelling the whole project. I'm out $6600 for the footing alone, as that was the best offer I got from Todd to cancel the whole thing. Now have a cedar fence where my sound wall was intended to go, after paying to core into the footing to set posts. To his credit, Todd did offer to demo the footing and start over. I was afraid to go forward with that approach for a host of reasons. It was going to be disruptive, damaging to my property, and time-consuming, all to the end of letting the same crew that screwed it up in the first place have another go at it. Sometimes you just have to suck up the sunk cost and move on. My biggest mistake by far on this project was hiring Austin Stucco and Masonry. I took a video of the footing against a level line, but Yelp is no longer allowing videos, so these snapshots are taken from the video and are not as clear as they would be otherwise.

They took time to address all of my questions & concerns and provided options to meet my objectives. Very reasonable pricing. Accommodated my schedule to start the work. Crew was very friendly & did a good job to keep the work area protected and cleaned up after every day. In addition to stucco repair work, they installed new stucco on a wall that had siding that was in need of repair. At the end of the job they confirmed with me that all work was completed to my satisfaction before considering the job done. Everyone I interacted with was very pleasant. All-in-all a great company to work with. I will absolutely use them again for future projects.

I had tile installed in my entire first floor + laminate wood on my staircase and upstairs hallway + laminate wood in our master bedroom.

I know of at least three other people who also used Trademark via my recommendation and all were equally as happy. Even though I live out in Pflugerville, it wasn't an issue with the business being in Dripping Springs. I may do some more flooring in my girls' bedrooms in the future and I know for sure I will be calling Trademark Floors again when that time comes!
