FRAUD, SCAM, FRAUD, SCAM i contacted Austin Cowboy stucco, a…read morecompany i found on google with 5/5 on 20 reviews with a prestigious address downtown Austin and an impressive facebook portfolio and website. The phone listed asked me to dial 1 then redirected me to a voicemail. i did not leave a message. 7 minutes later, Lee Jimenez, the contractor called back and introduced himself as Austin Cowboy Stucco. Lee came across as experienced, kind, polite and respectful you'd be shocked to realize all this is a front for a professional scammer. Naively, i signed an estimate, not even a contract, with this stucco contractor for $52800. the contractor Lee Jimenez started to push for a 50% payment to buy supplies. i paid him $25,200. Once he got the money, he started to not be prompt at answering phone texts. he was supposed to give me invoices for materials ordered, agree and commit to a warrantee vervatum in a contract , and he was supposed to give me a bid for stone work. He never did. After a series of lies, i started to be suspicious. I was confused when I noticed that the company name on the estimate was Lone Star Construction Services and Lone Star Stucco and Stone with no mention of Austin Cowboy Stucco . i looked up Lone Star company reviews on google, Houzz, BBB and other sites, they were poor across the board, with several reports indicating a pattern of walking away with customers money, doing minimal or no work and then not responding to all communications. i visited the location of Austin Cowboy Stucco who i originally called. it was a residential building with a fake suite number 111 that never existed in that building. I realized it was a Fake company with fake address and fake reviews and a phone number that connects you to Lee at Lone Star Construction Services. I realized Lee used the shell company name Austin Cowboy Stucco to bypass his poor reviews which expose his fraudulent behaviors, and to collect customers money through deceit. All this happened within less than 2 weeks of our initial meeting. I texted him to cancel the order and pay me back. He stated he himself was not interested in doing the job. he was surprised the bad reviews were not taken down as it was 8 years ago, but actually most reviews are much more recent than that one review on Houzz which indicates this behavior goes back at least a decade. Obviously he manipulates the platforms reviews to his favor.He never returned my money. He never produced invoice evidence that he purchased any materials. Again, as reported in other reviews he is unresponsive to communication. I was a lucrative fraud victim of this criminal. I will keep you posted of the law suit coming his way.

For prospective customers reading this, here is the verified context: Fraudulently advertising yourselves as a "James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor" to secure the job, only to systemically violate the manufacturer's strict installation guidelines, is not a "punch-list" oversight--it is deceptive marketing and a material breach of contract. Puncturing an internal PVC plumbing pipe, illegally wrapping it in black duct tape, and immediately hiding it behind the new siding is not a 'punch-list' item - it is active fraudulent concealment. The 'Fraudulent' Financing: We authorized the payment because they claimed to follow actively concealed the duct-taped plumbing. Inducing a customer to authorize a loan by hiding severe damage is the legal definition of fraudulent concealment. Contradictory Public Statements & The BBB Complaint: JP Exteriors is using public platforms to feign cooperation. On our active BBB complaint, they claim they are waiting for our independent inspection report before taking action. However, their own written record proves they inspected the property themselves on June 11th and issued a superficial patching offer on June 22nd. The very next day, they explicitly stated in writing they were not willing to expand their scope to a full replacement, formally refusing to cure the hidden defects before our third-party inspection was even conducted on June 24th. The 42-page independent inspection report, which we received on June 29, definitively confirms that the widespread, concealed code violations and structural deficiencies cannot be resolved through superficial patching. The report details systemic failures, including improperly installed weather-resistant barriers, missing flashings, overdriven fasteners, damaged boards, unsealed wall penetrations, and an internal PVC plumbing pipe that was punctured by a fastener and actively concealed with black duct tape. The Manufacturer's Involvement: James Hardie is indeed involved, to the extent that the manufacturer offered to provide free replacement materials to JP Exteriors so they could execute a proper rework. JP Exteriors leadership actively refused this offer. We stand entirely by our documented evidence, our 42-page forensic inspection report, and our active fraud dispute with the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. The video proof of punctured plumbing remain on this review.

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.

Excellent Experience…read more We purchased a home where the builder/seller didn't flash the windows properly allowing water to leak into the home. We first hired Mark Gault as an expert witness in the proceedings to diagnose. He has been in the industry for quite a few years (20+) and clearly the stand out stucco expert in the area with rock solid (no pun) references and industry credentials. We won the lawsuit and immediately hired Mark Gault homes to perform all remediation work. The work was extensive requiring stucco to be stucco and stone on the home, wood damage repaired and then stucco reapplied with all the vapor barrier, wire mesh, etc etc on nearly the entire home. Gault and his crew were straight forward, honest, respectful taking into account neighbors concerns, my time involvement and even as allowed our babies sleep schedule when possible - super easy to work with. A solid 4 months of constructions crews, city inspections, machinery the work progressed smoothly with very few issues. The project was delivered on time within %5 of budget!

I recently hired Austin Professional Painters for a pretty large project: we had remodeled our…read morekitchen and had installed new shiplap, headboard, and chair rail throughout the main areas of our downstairs. The cabinets and walls needed a total refresh of paint, and all that new woodwork had tons of caulking/filling/sanding/priming etc to do. Then we needed new crown molding added to our half bath, and there were several sheetrock patches plus some ceiling cracks which needed good prepping and feathering in. Also, our front and back doors needed to be repainted. So - a lot of work! And I am picky about quality. I chose Austin Professional Painting because they seemed well organized, well qualified, and ready to go at a scale of enough workers that we could get back to living in the downstairs of our house in a reasonable amount of time. Their comfort with good quality paint was also a key factor in my choice. So: the guys who came out to do the work, Carlos and Ivan - plus another couple of guys on certain days, were very nice, polite, and extremely hard working. They did a very good job and I am satisfied with the work. I would hire Austin Professional Painters again (and probably will this fall when we get around to renewing the master bath), and I definitely recommend them.
