Reviews in Austin for Porch Railing Installation
Wagner Caudle Handyman Services
They responded to my call on the same day and came to the house on the next day to give me an estimate. They thoroughly checked the entire porch railing and made a recommendation on which areas were in need of replacing. They provided me with exact cost of materials which they looked up online. And they were able to complete the job the next day which was a Saturday. They bought all materials needed and arrived at the time agreed upon to complete the work. They noted that only the mailbox post needed replacing and were able to remove the mailbox and place it on the new post thus saving me the cost of having to buy a new mailbox. Bret and Derek were very professional in their demeanor and projected a can-do attitude. The quality of their work was excellent and they took time to clean up after completion of the job. I highly recommend them

Did a great job. Cost was maybe a little higher than I could have received from someone else but worth it.

Austin Deck Company
We were very pleased with the work from Austin Deck Company. Their bid was very competitive with other bids we received. It was a pleasure working with Abe, he was very instrumental in helping with the selection of composite and also with creating additions to our decking. The crew, Josh & Michael were very polite and great at explaining the progress of each day. Abe came out often during the construction to check on progress and go over items with us. Overall, Abe and his crew are creative, courteous, prompt and conscientious. Our deck looks great and we are very happy with the way it turned out. Thank you Austin Deck Company... Ricky & Philli

21st Century Painting & Roofing LLC
I contacted 21st Century Painting and Roofing as my front porch railings were in severe need of repainting. The paint was peeling due to a very poor DIY job. I contacted 2-3 companies and here on Angies list, all A rated, and 21st Century was the only one that contacted me. They replied quickly, came out the house and looked at the job, bid it, and their bid was quite reasonable so I hired them to do the work. We scheduled a date and time and they came on that day, got to work and did a fantastic job. The end result looks fantastic and the end price matched the bid to the penny. Highly recommend

Called for a consultation/estimation, guy came out, showed him what I wanted (rails up the stairs, wife had surgery recently, and needed railings). Two short flights and a landing (5 rails total). Stairwell is one of these modern ones that has a flat surface on top and drywalled walls. Consultant they sent told me what it would cost, and what would be needed to be done. We agreed to a price, and they arranged someone to come out and work on it. Installer who arrived was personable, polite, and had a polite trainee with him. Unfortunately, the guy who wrote up the work order didn't really put a lot of thought into it, didn't give the right specs, and didn't realize what exactly the job entailed. I count on the people who I hire to know this, if I was an expert in home modification, I wouldn't hire people to do it. :) First off, the guy who spec'd the job had 2 mounting brackets for each 7 foot rail. You can't hold 7 foot rails on with 2 railing holders, not without the 7 foot rail bouncing up and down as you put weight on it. I have a disabled wife, and she needs something solid, not something that gives with each step. So the installer (who was, again, nice and seemed fairly competent) got on the phone, and they upped the price to go buy more parts. Then he had to install the rails using 300lb drywall mounts. It's been about 6-8 weeks, and the rails are already starting to shimmy as you walk up, because the drywall mounts are wriggling. I figure the rails will last about a year before I have to replace them. Looking back on it, the guy who spec'd it out, is to me, the issue. He apparently didn't know how to do rails, and gave a bad price and bad design to the installer. If I had it to do over again, I now know what I'd do. I'd put up an half-inch plank with a rounded edge up each side of the stairway, bolted to the two-by-fours in the wall wherever they are. Then I'd bolt the railing to that plank at the equal-distant points they need to be bolted in at, rather than in the drywall on drywall mounts. I'm giving the ratings I'm giving because they responded quickly, worked in a kind of remote area, and the installer seemed competent and did a good job with what he had to work with. I didn't give a better rating because the initial consultation should have pointed out to me the need for a mounting plate, and should never have spec'd a job to have a 7 foot long rail mounted on only two brackets (especially not a 1.5 inch thick hand rail). Next time, I will ask the contractor representative who specs the job what he thinks the installer will need and buy my own supplies, so I know there are enough supplies and the right type, rather than having my bill go up at the last minute due to bad design on his part

Handyman for Hire
Pete was great, and we would definitely have him back. He really knows his stuff, and is a pleasure to work with. Weather thwarted us from getting projects started, but he kept in touch and used the time to price out some additional options for us. Although Pete calls himself a handyman, his advice on design and materials was excellent, and you really get the benefit of his experience. We have had lots of compliments on our new porch railings, from neighbors, friends, and random dog-walkers. It looks great, is very sturdy, and goes with the old porch amazingly well. Similarly, the trim of the dishwasher is exquisite; Pete went to Ikea to get a piece of material that would match the cabinets, so it looks as if it were all done at the same time. Pete works incredibly hard and fast -- the projects do not drag on, he gets things done. He is also very neat and cleans up after his project very carefully. I strongly recommend Pete -- we will definitely have him come back for other projects

Everything went great! My handrails on my stairs are secure and you can't even tell where they tore a hole in the wall when the handrail came out. The pumphouse shed is in place and looks great. The trim on my outside windows looks great. Everybody was very nice and helpful. I will DEFINITELY use them again

This was a case of bringing an older deck back to life. They knew exactly what to do and how to go about it. I thought they were excellent. They were very competent and professional, and their work was first class. I was pleased with the results.

Winston showed up on time for the estimate, and everything went very well from that point until the job was completed. My initial thought was to paint the whole house exterior, but Winston suggested just painting the back of the house because the front didn't really need it. I'm very happy with all aspects of the job: the price, the quality of work, the work was completed on time, and Winston and his crew were friendly and professional

The job started on time but finished much later than estimated. The team was made of bunch of polite gentlemen. Different people with different expertise were used as needed. However, i was very disappointed with the detail work. The newly stained oak handrails and posts were left very rough but was finished up nicely on a later date after I made the complaints. The cast iron balusters and shoes were loosely installed. It was mostly fixed later on along with the handrail finish jobs. Above all, the most disappointing experience is that after they were finished installing the hardwood, the floor is making squeaky noise when walked many spots. During the installation I asked them many times why the floor is squeaky? They promised it will not squeak once fully installed. Later I was told different things such as wood on second floor is supposed to be like that, or the ply wood floor of the house was not correctly done by the builder of the house (which is actually true to some extent). However,another expert floor installer told me that they should have caulked the floor b4 installing wooden floor and should have used bucket glue instead of tubes. Whatever it is, the damage is done. It was a $15000 project cost for me. I could have spent some more to make it not make the annoying squeaky sound! Anyway, they have a one year warranty which is pretty good and am still counting on it! Oh! And The most annoying of all is trying to contact the office. Nobody ever picks up the phone. It goes to voicemail. You have to leave a message and pray for a call back. I would have preferred to listen to a waiting music for few minutes and talk to a live person. PS: The providers response is very unprofessional that i wanted to get more stuff done for free! In fact, after the job was finished, the provider asked for the additional labor hours which was almost double the original estimate. I had no choice but to pay them because I asked for a modification of the original estimated plan. They gave me a 5% discount on labor. I guess they are not suitable for big remodeling jobs after all. Unfortunately this time I had to change their professionalism rating to F because of their unwelcome response

Altruistic Home Repair/Remodel
We called Al because we had used him before for a stubborn front door problem and were very satisfied. We are thrilled that our house looks great -- The limestone half-wall on the front of the house looks FANTASTIC - he got the exact shade and used the exact color of grout we requested. Beautiful sill we didn't expect. We had talked to several professionals about what to do and Al is the only one who came up with this great idea. His idea and execution of putting a lower perimeter of hardyboard around the house is such a relief - it is seamless and now it is protected from garden splash. The up-high siding repairs are fine and barely visible (we didn't buy new siding for these little areas). The new rails are sturdy and look great. We had been told for years that the concrete wouldn't hold new rails, but he receded the concrete base where the base of the rails needed to go, in order to provide the grip the screws needed, then patched. The screws that came with the black rails were blue, and they even painted the screws black. They sanded and painted a rough area on the handrail that was the factory's fault. The repair of the huge ugly hole in the side of the porch is perfect. Can't even tell. The bathrooms look new and are very pleasing. He made the larger floor a floating floor, due to seasonal shifting of the house (built in 1935). The quarter round looks great and is finely sealed. The French door frame had a lot of rot. It was half the cost to repair it, instead of replacing it. He also caught rot under the threshold. The two windows which had rot are good as new. We thought the faucet was a simple leak but it wasn't, which required more parts. Repaired! The work got done on time, with unavoidable delays due to a deluge of rain. His people are nice. His masonry people are true artists. The insulation falling down under the addition has been a problem for years. He fixed it. There were a few little things we wanted tweaked (extending a piece of quarter round on both sides of the door, a rough spot on the railing that it turns out was the manufacturer's fault, and I made a comment about the little rock left over from the masonry work), and Al clearly has the belief that the customer is always right. We have a 75 year-old house in Rosedale. We added an addition in back in 1993 but it is not a mini-mansion. We live between two striking houses on either side. Since Al's work, we have gotten comments like "beautiful" and "I want a castle like this" and more! We will be calling Al anytime we need talents like his, and for ideas - he had two unique ideas that no one else ever came up with, and which saved us money. He is a good manager, has appropriate boundaries and is personable

We were very impressed by BC and their professionalism. We enjoyed and watched Kevin dig, weld, and pour concrete to set the posts. He did an amazing job. Dylan, the boss guy, kept up with us and let us know each move. We could ask for nothing better than BC.

Colten and his team were terrific. Not only did they come in with a much lower cost estimate than other contractors, they were able to incorporate higher-end finishes into the design. Things like a custom built cable-railing, lights in the staircases and even a custom dog ramp. On top of everything else, they're super nice and easy to work with. When part of our decking came in with discoloration, Colten was able to remove the affected boards and swap them out quickly and without any additional cost. Highly recommended for all of your deck needs

They did an excellent job and I'm extremely pleased with the result. The beginning of the job was problematic, as the estimator did not follow up with an estimate after his initial visit. I called him again because of the mostly good reviews the company had on Angie's List. When he did submit an estimate, the cost was off by 10,000 feet which I brought to his attention and it was corrected. Thus the C for responsiveness. That said, the rest of the job went very smoothly. Allen was a great job coordinator, helpful and responsive in every way. And the crew - Leno, Jose, and Leo - were just outsanding! They built the fence as though it was their own. Everything they did was careful, precise, and totally professional. I cannot thank them enough for giving me the sturdy, attractive, and - hopefully - long lasting fence that I desired. I would recommend the company's work; especially ask for this crew to build your fence

The contractor arrived on time. We reviewed the work, which in my case was to rebuild some wooden stair handrails that had rotted out, and repair the wooden railing around my front porch. He recommended that the handrail on the steps be completely rebuilt (the anchor posts had rotted out of the ground), but the railing around the front porch was largely salvagable (we only needed to replace the top board). After the consultation, he went to purchase supplies and got to work. I had purchased the "4 hours for $149" coupon. The job ultimately took about 6 hours, mainly due to the railings that had to be rebuilt from scratch. He also had to buy about ~$80 worth of lumber. He had his tools (circular saw, etc.) with him, and cut the pieces on the front lawn. After he was finished, he hauled all of the scraps and such away, leaving my front yard clear of debris. One word of note regarding this coupon: it only covers labor, not materials. Any wood or additional supplies that need to be purchased in order to complete the job, you are responsible for. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality of workmanship and the ease of working with this contractor. I'm actually going to use them again to repair my upstairs balcony railing
