"Carl's team was phenomenal. They quoted me a fair price, and showed up right on time. They were able to build us a pergola exactly as we discussed on time and on-budget. The pergola is beautiful and feels like a permanent feature for our house. I would highly recommend Sheds and More for your pergola needs!"

Alter Construction offers estimates, proposals, design services, home improvement, remodeling services, home modifications, custom homes, general construction services in Austin, Texas and adjacent areas. We are a full service construction company. With years of experience we saw the lack of customer service and proper execution for new builds and remodeling projects. For that reason, our specialized team is dedicated to providing families with responsive, clear communication. We guarantee an outstanding customer service experience. Whether you need a kitchen remodel, a bathroom remodel, a room addition, or home modifications for elderly or disabled residents, Alter Construction will complete your project with responsive communication, to your satisfaction, and on time.

"My husband already left a review for our project, but I wanted to add some additional praise. Alter Construction did an absolutely wonderful job replacing our floors and I highly recommend them! Communication: One of the first things you'll notice with Eli and his team is the tremendous amount of communication. He'll talk you through everything, provide recommendations as necessary, and answer any questions. On top of that, Eli sent us multiple updates every day that we were out of the house to keep us aware of what was happening. Pictures, video, text explanations, and he was always available for a call. It really put my mind at ease that the house was well taken care of in our absence. He ran the outside taps when it froze, kept the house at the temperature we requested, and cleaned up everything after. He also made us aware of little things like how the paint color we picked for baseboards didn't match the existing trim. With everything he did, made sure that we would be happy with the finished product. Quality: The workmanship is outstanding. The tile is cut and laid beautifully, with no hollow sounds when walking. My father used to lay tile back in his day, so trust me when I say it was well inspected after! Our walls have rounded corners, so it was very nice of Alter Construction to cut and round the baseboards instead of leaving them sharp. It looks very clean now. Attention to Detail: What really makes the work stand out is the team's attention to detail. They replaced a section of baseboards that wasn't in the work area to make them match because they were visible from the living room. They were kind enough to reinstall our baby gates at a higher position because the new baseboards were taller than the old ones. They even patched a hole in the carpet of one of our bedrooms with the scraps they pulled up from the living room. This wasn't something that we had asked them to do, they just took the initiative to really make everything nice for us when we came home. Summary: If you're looking for someone to do work on your house, you can't go wrong with Alter Construction. They'll take care of you like family and I promise you won't be disappointed."

"I am so grateful for Terry and T5T Contracting. From the moment I met Terry, I knew he was the real deal—down-to-earth, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. His family has been in the business for years, and it’s clear he understands what homeowners need during a renovation. Terry is prompt and timely in his communications, and he showed incredible patience and kindness throughout the process. Living in a home during a renovation is not for the faint of heart, and inevitably, challenges come up. What stood out to me is how Terry always addressed concerns quickly and thoroughly, correcting any issues with professionalism and care. The subcontractors that T5T works with are also excellent. Every single person who came into my home arrived on time, was fully prepared, respectful of my home, and delivered truly outstanding work. That level of consistency gave me so much peace of mind during what could have been a stressful process. "

"Came in as lowest bid and wound up doing fantastic work. Very satisfied with how the project turned out. Working with them regarding billing and what was considered in and out of scope was a nightmare. Despite my best efforts to make sure we were on the same page in regards to what I wanted done and making sure it was on the invoice it did not stop the invoices for extra work coming out saying it was out of scope. I agreed with the first change order regarding a bench but when more change orders and invoices started showing up with no heads up is when I started asking questions. And even when I said that I told them to give me a heads up on out of scope work, I still got new invoices for out of scope work. $1200 for extra hours for sloping the shower pan, $200 for extra trash removal, $600 for extra plumbing work. TLDR: Lowest Bid, Still great work, but expect them to nickel and dime you until it is done."

"We got a decent sized addition done with SPS. They came forward with great ideas and great pricing. We loved his ability to come up with unique solutions and great customer service. The overall build seems to be well done. We have had it for almost a year with no major issues. But the experience was a little challenging 1) Ed is the GC but he does not do a good job overall doing quality control. His son, Jesus is also very good. His Son in law is a really nice guy but his work is not up to par. The last few weeks, Ed left is to his son in law to finish up which meant the final finish was bad. Bathroom cabinet door did not close fully. There were splotches of semi gloss and matte paint all over the place. A door was cut unevenly and is still that way. I pointed out many of these, and they would come and close out a few but let others be. 2) the framing around windows was not a straight line. Slight angles everywhere. Not sure why.... Flooring has dips in it... I pointed it out before they put the flooring down... But still got issues. Electric work was mostly done by an assistant to the master electrician.. so I keep wondering if it was really done up to par, especially as the glaring issues were found later. Some of them fixed, others not. Paint shades were not accurately matched. Cleanliness by his crew was ok I have seen my friends projects be done better. 3) Communication was ok. It took me a while to figure out the dynamics. Tldr. Overall the project was decently done. The core work seems to be well done. The finish is lacking. Communication was ok. Supervision by GC was not as good as expected. By the end of the project, I think they were as ready to walk away as we were."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?
