There wasn't any type of back deck/patio area when I bought the home, so I researched companies to build an entire screened-in porch from scratch. Larry Hubble, the owner of Lone Star Patio in BCS, was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable and confident as a woman looking to take on a major (and expensive) home renovation project. He answered all my picky questions, addressed any concerns, and he is a trustworthy businessman. Buck Hogue, owner of Buck the Builder, was contracted to build the enclosure and I am more than satisfied! He was always on time, efficient, and polite. Not to mention he has built several screened enclosures before, so he knew exactly what to do. He was at my home (in my backyard) 5 days a week for several weeks, and I was never concerned about me not being there while he has working. He's a good guy and a highly experienced carpenter. Larry would check on the progress every few weeks and both gentlemen were always available by email. I am so happy with the results the $9,000 for the entire project was well worth it. I should have done this much sooner!

This did not happen. The sticky dust was all over the house. They did throw sheets over some of the cabinets near the work areas and used big fans to blow some of the dust out of the house, but dust was everywhere and very difficult to clean up.

After speaking with other homeowners that have contracted with other pool contractors and observing the work of other pool contractors I am very happy we contracted with Mobley Pools. One homeowner who contracted with another company for a very elaborate and expensive pool described how their pool, which is less than 1 year old has a crack up the middle of the pool and is leaking. Another homeowner contracted with another pool contractor had their pool dug incorrectly (too shallow at one end and too deep at the other end). Mobley pool is the only pool contractor in the area that has his own crew for doing the digging, plumbing and electrical. All other local pool contractors appear to hire sub-contractors out of Houston for the digging, plumbing and electrical. We contracted with Mobley Pool Company to build our 18' X 36' (4' to 7' deep) with slide on April 2, 2010. Work began on April 20, 2010 and we began swimming on May 20, 2010. All work was done professionally. All workers involved seemed to take pride in their work. Mr. Mobley and his crew delivered exactly what we requested in minimum time. The city inspector was able to tell the pool was a Mobley Pool even though there was no Mobley Pool Sign posted in the front yard. When I asked about that he stated it was because of the steel (rebar) work. He went on to say that Mr. Mobley is the only pool builder that uses as much steel as he uses. Mobley Pool Company pools are priced slightly higher than his competitors, but I feel this is because of the amount of steel used in pool construction and the quality of the concrete used for pool decking. As a side note: The number of cubic yards of concrete required for the pool decking was underestimated resulting in a total additional cost of $1800 for concrete decking. Mr. Mobley asked that I pay half of the additional cost. I agreed to pay an additional $900, which I did. Slide did not appear to be installed properly. The reason I say this is that none of the joints that are supposed to be smooth do not appear to be properly aligned. Mobley Pool Company has sent out their expert in slide installation to try to repair it, but the joints remain misaligned. Perhaps there is a problem with this particular make and model slide (Interfab-XStream). Mobley Pool sent their technician out several times to correct the problem. As I said before there may be a problem with the slide design. ***UPDATE ON SLIDE*** 06/11/2013: Problems with Pool Slide continue. I noticed that the pool slide had water leaking out the bottom of it. Upon checking it out the slide I noted that the slide was more misaligned and that there was a large gap on the bottom of the slide where the seat portion meets the first flume had a large gap. I decided that I needed to tighten the bolts on the slide as directed in the owner’s manual. I began by tightening the bolts on the legs. Several of these bolts were seized. Upon tightening the nuts on the bolts where the seat and first flume meet one bolt pulled the embedded nut from the seat portion of the slide. I attempted to reinstall it as I believed the reason it pulled out was because I had tightened it too tightly. I was unable to reinstall and resorted to sending an e-mail and photographs to InterFab to see if they had a fix for my problem. Because I did not want the children trying to use the slide we took it down. In preparing to complete the repair that I was expecting from InterFab I removed slide handles. To my surprise I found that the steps where the handles go through were broken from what I must assume is over tightening. I also noted that the bolts holding the mounting foot for the ladder were installed at an angle. They should have been totally vertical as demonstrated in the InterFab on-line video. Bottom line is I do not believe the slide was installed properly in the first place. It was brought to our house fully assembled.The installation instructions and on-line video clearly indicate that it is to be assembled on site by at least 2 workers. Without seeing the slide in the unassembled state I have no idea of whether it was assembled correctly or of knowing the condition of all of the parts before assembly. I might add here that none of the protective caps designed to fit over exposed bolts were included or installed on the slide. I do know that the instructions in the owner's manual and that I viewed on the Inter-Fab web site clearly state that once the slide is set into place that the position of the deck mounting holes are to be marked on the deck and that once marked the slide is to be moved to the side so that the holes for the mounting bolts can be drilled vertically. Although the holes for the 2 vertical mounting posts are vertical, the mounting bolts for the foot of the ladder are all at an angle indicating that the holes were drilled with the slide in place. I believe this possibly may have caused extra tension on the slide joints causing them to fail prematurely. 6/14/2013: After exchanging e-mails and photographs with Inter-Fab regarding our X-Stream Slide the manufacturer has informed me that they will be sending the repair parts to us free of charge. What a refreshing development to find a manufacturer that stands behind their product. I would recommend purchase of this companies products 100%. I am more than satisfied with their response to my inquiry."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/bryan/mobley-pool-co-reviews-6174037.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"College Station MaidPro","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Ann G."},"reviewBody":"The first cleaning went very well.

They did not throw all their trash away. They had trouble identifying thermostat wires, an issue that could have been easily solved by labeling the wires as they removed them from the old AC. They spec'ed the electrical wire half an inch too short, and the electrician had trouble making the stretch.
They installed a Rheem AC 10 ton and gave the lowest bid for the work. Three times I was required to wait for them on the site, as the security needed to be opened. Three times they made me wait for them over two hours. That is unacceptable.
Finally, they used a fire escape and for two days in row left the door unsecured. I had to discover it and secure it, else the building would have been accessible.
All in all, when the job was done, the unit installed worked perfectly. I do not fault them for being an all Hispanic team, but I fault them for not paying attention and for the manana attitude.

Hitt's Landscaping was our contractor's choice to pull together the existing yard and a new addition on our home. He was seldom on site and had no effective foreman. The job was handled unprofessionally and was interminable. Landscaping masonry was great, although the fountain he built for us leaked underground and killed a 20 year old oak that we worked hard to protect during building. Rather than actually investigate, he answered my concerns and protests with \"it just must be evaporation.\" The beds he planted around our new addition were raised higher than the foundation and piled against the house-sides. The job, bid in February to take approximately 3 weeks, had at last reached the point of the plant installation in May. The heavy irrigation needed to sustain the plants seeped into the subfloor of our new addition, ruining our new wood floors and a 2' x 40' section of interior sheetrock.Our builder rectified this promptly (all new wood floors and sheet rock..what mess) and negotiated with Hitt's insurance for replacement costs. Similarly, as a direct result of Hitt's poorly considered and executed work, three 40' Live oaks around which we designed the garden were drowned: the tree trunks were buried 6-8\" in a layer of mulch and soil. This material plus the heavy watering regime mentioned above smothered the trees. Maddeningly, I knew better and even told him I thought that the soil was too high, but Mr. Hitt assured me I was wrong and that the trees would be fine (he'd done the same thing plenty of previous times and the trees were always fine, he said [in fact, no one else I ever consulted could concur]). It took approximately one month before we insisted he take the soil back down to the original level, but the damage was done. And the trees we had repeatedly and specifically told anyone and everyone involved in the long and complicated construction process were a priority died within five months. Drainage was inadequate in patio area and needed tweaking at a cost of an additional $2,500 (he wasn't taking any responsibility and complained) To add insult to this HUGE injury to our back yard, we had to fight about replacement costs and responsibility. It got pretty ugly. Hitt was rude, unapologetic, became very defensive and bullying and, towards the end while \"punching out\" and finishing details, became very sloppy, unresponsive and forced us to ask for small service details that should have been completed w/o question to begin with. We eventually settled with $7,5000 for the total loss of 3 large oaks just to put an end to this bad business. This is an edited, so by no means complete, accounting of the inattention and incompetence that typified the Hitt's experience. This firm probably does a great business in tract-home and spec installations in this boom town, but don't let him near your home or garden."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/college-station/hitt%27s-landscape-and-maintenance-reviews-5987490.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"McCain Construction & Remodeling","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Ann P."},"reviewBody":"I had heard of Bob from several of my relatives and I needed a new concrete driveway poured and knew I needed a contractor to help me deicde how much I wanted to spend and to deal with the people that would be performing the work.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Bedias, TX
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
