Although we did not contract them…read moredirectly ( we purchased from family who had it built) we are so impressed with the quality and attention to detail that was incorporated into this county home. From the wood detail to the top of the line material built in every aspect of the home. What really impressed me the most, even though I did no contract with them directly, when I contact them with a question about the jacuzzi tub, Dan called me first thing the next morning and helped me with me question. This just tells me not only do they build a superior quality home they care about the people that live in them.

Once finished with the proceedings I will update this post with full details, including photos, of everything that went wrong with building this house. You will be absolutely shocked and horrified.

I can provide you with some of the names of great builders that others have used in this custom home neighborhood.

We built a custom 750-square-foot pool house with McKay Vassaur Custom Builders. Our criteria were…read moreto match the pool house to the existing main structure and blend the new building into the landscape and pool area. Jeff Vassaur helped us take an idea and a dirt backyard, turning it into a dream mother's suite. The team at McKay Vassaur helped us navigate design, permitting, material selection, and the construction process. Jeff was always there to keep us informed and provide innovative solutions to the obstacles that occur throughout any construction process. We have designed and built several homes, but McKay Vassaur is the best builder we have ever worked with. Jeff and his team are the best because they are available, communicative, professional, and produce an amazing product. Thank you, McKay Vassaur, and thank you, Jeff.

My wife and I have been speaking with Jeff, the owner, for over a year and a half working through…read moreplanning, ideas, and asking every question we could think of when building a home. Let me start by first saying that Jeff and his organization are world class! We spoke to and toured every home builder in the area, even speaking with builders from outside of the CTX area, and let me tell you that the quality of our home, the speed in Jeff's ability to answer questions, solve problems, and his knowledge have not only been amazing but truly a blessing to our family. His pride and attention to detail shines through every portion of our home. From start to finish, and even small things needing to be taken care of through warranty have been absolutely seamless. Probably one of the hardest things we dealt with when speaking to other builders was them taking the time to actually listen to what we were looking for, this is not the case with Jeff. He addressed all of our questions leaving zero doubts in our mind that we were always aligned. Jeff is undoubtedly one of the kindest, honest, and transparent people we have met, and his team is truly amazing. You would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not contacting McKay Vassaur Custom Builders for your home build or remodel. Thank you, Jeff, for building our dream home and making us feel like family from day one!

Sylvester is an old school Austin type of contractor that can do a little bit of everything. He…read morecares deeply about the quality and craftsmanship of his work and he invests the time and energy that it takes to get the job done right. He was a great collaborator with me on a pretty complicated bathroom renovation project and he went above and beyond to make sure that we stayed on budget and were happy with the results. I would definitely recommend Sylvester for your next home improvement project.

We can't speak highly enough of A.R. Lucas and our experience working with his team on our remodel…read moreand addition. We met with a number of contractors and felt that Adam's experience and style was the best fit for our Crestview home. Adam is super responsive, patient (I was pregnant at the time and probably not the easiest client ever :), and has fantastic subcontractors--we trusted and truly enjoyed getting to know everyone that worked on the house. Whenever you tell someone you're remodeling, you typically get a gasp and a "Good luck! How long until you move back in? Plan for twice that." We were nervous. Our experience could not have been more opposite--Adam finished on time and within our budget, another shocker based feedback from everyone else in the world that's done a remodel. 5 stars would hire for our next project!

Our architect recommended A.R. Lucas Construction for our add-on project and we could not have been…read morehappier. Prior to construction, we worked closely with our architect and Adam to ensure the project could be completed on budget. Throughout the project Adam provided frequent expense and progress reports. As this was our first construction project, we were filled with uneducated questions and concerns. Adam and his team were impressive, kind and patient in handling all our questions. They made us feel very comfortable coming to them with anything. Andrew was our main lead for the day-to-day and did a great job keeping all the subs moving and on track. The craftsmanship work that A.R. Lucas designed and crafted are beautiful and unique, and definitely my most favorite parts of the add-on. We were drawn to A.R. Lucas Construction for their craftsmanship, attention to detail and budget insight. Adam, Andrew and their team were a lot of fun to work with; it was a comfortable, collaborative and rewarding experience. We will most certainly reach out to them for our future projects.

They did have a problem coordinating and scheduling with one of their contractors to install some iron stairs, however, they stayed on them until they met the install deadline. Ted even helped me pick my flooring, which was done outside of the original quote. Thanks for going above and beyond to make this remodel happen and finishing it in the time frame we discussed during the quote. Ted is very good at what he does and the finished product shows he cares about the customer and takes pride in the "details". I would trust him with any part of a home remodel and will recommend him and his business to anyone.

My wife and I hired Michael Cottone and his son Blake Cottone (Journey Remodeling) to build an…read moreaddition on our house. We had to terminate him for breach of contract and are now in a legal battle with them because of their actions. They did not complete the work in compliance with the TX building code. Neither Michael nor Blake would supervise the work being completed so we had to correct/direct their own workers. Michael's own engineer on the project inspected the work and provided us a multi-page report detailing how Michael did not have the structure built to the engineering specs. If you are going to hire this firm--or any other firm run by Michael Cottone or Blake Cottone, my wife and I recommend you: - insist they provide you proof of insurance bond before you let them on your property - specify the scope of work MUST BE COMPLIANT WITH TX BUILDING CODE - schedule your time so that you can actively supervise his team and his subcontractors because they will not. - inspect everything they do as it progresses to ensure you know it was done to spec.

Hello Michael. Our names are Eric and Vickie Bufkin, and you worked on our property in Johnson…read moreCity. I do not know specifics of the Hites job, but the review in Google sounds exactly like our terrible experience with you, your son, and your company. Here are those points: 1) we had to terminate you for breach of contract; 2) you did not complete the work in compliance with TX building code; 3) neither you nor Blake supervised the work being performed; 4) you said you had insurance, but you did not. The following points address your response to my review. The only licensed inspector on our property was you (at least we believed you were licensed because you said you were, despite the various work on our job not done to code). None of your employees or contractors who worked on our job were licensed. The electricians and plumbers were your employees, and they were not licensed. To my knowledge, the tile, concrete, painting, and framing subcontractors you used are not required to be licensed. By the way, you may recall that one of your framers confessed to us that you had ordered him to complete part of the framing out of compliance with building code. You may also recall, we ordered you to fix it. As for our overall experience with Journey Remodeling, I could spend hours describing astonishingly unprofessional behavior, repeated dishonesty, unskilled and apathetic workmanship, days and weeks of no work performed, and our property being strewn with beer cans and garbage. In short, I advise everyone to avoid Journey Remodeling. When I have a few minutes, I'll post photos that I shared with you and our lawyer back when I terminated you. Stay tuned.

Jonathan and his team at Capstone Custom Homes built our unique 5000 sq ft home in the hill country…read moreoutside Austin. We can't recommend Jonathan highly enough. From the earliest planning stages through the final touches on our project, he consistently went above and beyond anything we could have expected to ensure that our home was not only picture perfect, but was exactly and precisely what we wanted. From choosing the perfect build site on our 7 acres to suggesting a loft area to link the kids' rooms, Jonathan contributed not only solid practical ability in building and managing our project, but also creative and aesthetic ideas that dramatically improved our house. He patiently worked through each of our exacting requirements, and insisted that every worker on the project get every detail perfect. He even went so far as to take over managing the pool construction (at no extra charge, though it was beyond the scope of his contract) when the poolbuilders proved incompetent, just to be sure we weren't left with an unfinished or substandard outcome. As Jonathan said to us up front, he wasn't our cheapest bid, but he wasn't the most expensive either, and he was definitely worth every penny we paid him -- we are tough customers, and we never would have gotten the house we wanted from another builder. What is most telling about Jonathan is that he remains close friends with almost everyone he builds for. When you consider that a great many people wind up so frustrated that they actually sue their builders, Capstone's customer satisfaction success really says something!
