Austin Porch Builders

Looked for weeks to find someone to do this seemingly simple, small job. Finally found Capitol Construction Services. John bid on it and it was a great price and his carpenter Christian did an excellent job. He demolished the old porch and stairs, piled the trash up so one of his contractors could haul it off at the end. Christian did a great job rebuilding the stars and porch, taking time to make sure it was done well and looked good. Took extra time to get it right and went beyond just doing what was necessary. John, the owner was very responsive as was Christian and their office assistant, Sommer was very professional and kept in communication during the job. Would hire them again in an instant.

Mr. Greer arrived on Saturday morning and by Saturday afternoon I had new porch awning to replace the rotten existing roof. Mr. Greer was fast, friendly and very neat. I have more projects planned for him in the very near future. For no extra charge On the Porch power washed the sid\walk leading up to the porch. What a nice suprise.

Demolition was done in timely manner with minimal disruption to household. Removal of debris performed promptly. Rebuilding of new roofing and cutting into existing roof line made for seamless transition from existing roof to new porch roofing. Project manager / owner was quick to discuss changes as needed throughout process.

Jim, the supervisor was excellent with my mom (it was her house) and she is elderly and difficult to explain things to. My mom loved the construction man that did all of the work. We will request him again if we need anything else done. Everything was done according to the bid, they were timely and even early with the painting. It looks very nice and we are pleased with the service and the price for everything they did was fair. They even changed out an extra board under the porch that was rotten and installed a new porch light for me (I purchased it) so I did not have to do it.

Everything Jodi Phillips of Morningstar Landscaping did from beginning to end was excellent! From the initial contact to design and planning, throughout the entire process to ongoing check-ups on plant progress Jodi was professional and receptive to our concepts and needs. Her predictions of timing, cost and outcome were perfect. She and her crew are punctual, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We could not be happier with the re-do of our front and back yards. Communication was open and frequent with e-mail ideas and suggestions flowing freely. We were kept in the loop continuously and updated on scheduling and such things as plant availability. I also appreciated greatly their consideration for our silly dogs; they were very careful to keep gates closed. Jodi also arranged for and oversaw landscape lighting and irrigation adjustments, making sure that all was customized for our needs. The entire team showed a true pride in their work and desire to make sure everything was done well and safely. Cleanup was done at the end of each day. We are very happy with the outcome of our project and will certainly use Morningstar Landscaping and Jodi Phillips again in the future.

From start to finish, Sheds and More was an outstanding client experience ! From the initial discussions to the project completion, Carl and William were very professional and kept me informed of all work being done. The work started with just adding me a porch and doing siding work on my back porch. They did such and outstanding job, I had them also do my entire house. Just an amazing transformation ! They also rebuilt my wood structure in front of entry way that was damaged due to a bee hive that had to be removed a couple of years back. They also rebuilt my chimney structure that was rotted badly due to exposure to weather (prior to porch being put in - never will be a problem now!) They even modified my gutter system to take full advantage of my new porch and reduce the stress that existed with just the single gutter system. Entire house - bad siding replaced, re-caulked, and repainted. In short, the house looks like new and given what I spent it was WELL WORTH the $. You may find quotes slightly cheaper, but Sheds and More's quality was well worth the money I spent. HIGHLY recommend !

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.

Mr. Mike came by, reviewed our porch and designed a perfect pergola for our porch. His staff built it in one day as promised and to our specifications. Excellent job!

eric came out and gave me a estimate,that seemed reasonable,considering the attention to detail that he showed me in his photo book,he truly is a artist he went over the pros and cons of differant materials to help us make a selection when he started the job,he kept me informed every step of the way,another thing i liked is he did the work himself,he is a perfectionist in everyway. another reason we chose eric was he voted best contractor in the twin cites minneapolis st paul mn by angies list in 2009 for his deck and porch company we checked it out on google. he just recently moved down here.anyway we could not be any happier .

Upon the signing of the contract and the half down payment to start the work, it started as a job we were highly anticipating getting done for our porch cover was leaking pretty bad. We had set a date for when the work was to be started and completed for I was leaving town for business and wanted the work completed before I left which was agreed upon at the signing of the contract. Unfortunately this is not what happened as promised, and we still have a leaking porch cover. The first of our problems was not getting reliable help on the day(s) or time(s) promised. Not only were the contractors late, in most cases they were not competent in their skills. Materials either came in really late, or if they arrived on time they were the incorrect items. The roof was constructed incorrectly which has caused the same leaking issues we had from the start, only worse, which occur around the fireplace mainly. The reason for the leaking is because they built the roof on top of the flashing which is a definate path for water to get through. In reality, they built the roof too high and did not compensate for the top runners and sheet metal height thus forcing water to run backwards towards the roof, yet again creating additional problems. After explaining that they need to tear it down and reconstruct it correctly, they proceeded to apply a sealer (multiple times/visits) to stop the leaking. IT STILL LEAKS! They did not complete the task in the time promised and I had to leave town. I told them to wait until I return to complete the job, but they proceeded anyway. Had they waited, they could have reconstructed in at an early stage and corrected the initial problem of building the roof too high and saving all the labor and materials. On the flip side of the coin, they are not warranting their work. I have a small claim court petition against them and per their business addresses can not be located to be served, so it looks as if I am out all that money and need to hire someone else to get the roof fixed. I DO NOT rocommend this company to do ANY work for ANYONE.......EVER! To top it all off, I had to haul off the old roof material at my expense and perform nail/scrap material retreival from my yard. These are also tasks to be performed stated in the contract that were to be completed. Just a warning for the wise, beware if you hire this company for services.
