Staff was prompt and Courteous. Workmanship was far below poor. Initial placement occurred with cutting of countertop inside home. 2 full work days to clean by the general contractor. New cabinets and walls were damaged during installation. Very Poor quality on developing templates for the initial cut. Seams between counters and backsplash do not match or continue between raised portions of the countertops. This company also installed a glass backsplash behind a new cooktop. I have never personally installed tile. My grandchildren could have done a better job. It will need to be removed along with at least 50% of the installed countertops by the new contractor I have hired. The owner of the firm, Anthony Morris agreed that there was nothing more he could do, during his last visit. He agreed to refund some funds since we had paid the contract in full. I asked for $4500 to be refunded. We verbally agreed to terminate our service agreement. Now this firm will not pay. They say their contract and services are complete. Please, Please do not even consider this firm for any project. A very terrible experience for a newer resident of this small community.

The bathroom is on the 2nd floor of an older house. After seeing telltale evidence of water damage from the bathroom , it was time to act. We received several estimates which ranged from 8-12 thousand dollars. We had used Ken's services previously to renovate a garage game room several years ago. At that time, he did an excellent job. So we called Ken to give us an estimate. Ken spent a good amount of time giving us pointers and suggestions on how to save money on this project. His estimate was very fair, so we decided to use him. Ken was very punctual. He arrived on our doorstep at 8am sharp every morning. Even worked on a couple of Saturdays in order to stay on his promised completion schedule.Ken never left us in the dark as he kept us informed on the progress every step of the way. My concern with this older bathroom was the possibility of finding mold behind the walls. I didn't want disturbed mold floating all over the house. Ken made sure to totally encase the bathroom with plastic sheeting and zippered entryways. It reminded me of entering a \"semiconductor clean room\". He was extremely detail-oriented and didn't cut corners. As with any older home, surprises spring up. He was able to deal with those occurrences without any appreciable delay. We contracted separately with Lowes to attach the the glass shower doors. When the contracted installers came in, they balked and gave numerous excuses on why they could not attach the particular doors we bought to the shower enclosure. They suggested that we buy a more expensive ($900) set of glass doors. Since I was at work, my wife had to run the show. My wife was not happy with the Lowes installers and personally called Ken (this was on a Saturday) about what he would suggest. Now Ken could have simply offered some suggestions over the phone, but he didnt. He drove from his house (20 miles away) and personally confronted the installers on their unwillingness to attach doors. We decided, at that point, to send the installers back and contracted separately for Ken to install doors.( which we should have done in the first place). Ken came back on Monday morning and installed the doors perfectly. Ken takes his work very seriously. He commented to me that every project he completes is a reflection on him. We have absolutely no doubts about highly recommending Ken and his company , Construction By Foster, to anyone needing quality remodeling/renovation at a fair price."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/taylor/chase-remodeling-and-concrete-reviews-9048776.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Ringer Windows","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Bradley K."},"reviewBody":"The windows themselves are wonderful. We were able to order a custom patterned glass for the bathroom to match the style of our 1925 home, instead of the generic frosted look. Installation went pretty smooth, everything is weather tight and the sound difference is amazing. My only concerns are the extra trim put around the windows was not cut down to match the existing piece, it sticks out about 1/2 inch farther. Also, some non-structural wood rot was found while installing the windows that the installers didn't even mention and I didn't see until a close inspection after everything was in. It would be easiest to make the repairs with the windows out, but I have found a work around. This, along with the ease of installation by their crew is why I opted to install the windows myself for the second half."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/taylor/ringer-windows-reviews-468934.htm"},"position":9}]}

Tech was next door and decided he couldnt walk the extra 15ft so they blocked my driveway. After talking with the scheduler twice, he had no way to get ahold of them because he wasnt scheduled to be there. So if you want to trust your systems repair and maintenance to techs who are...

I have hesitated in writing this review for the longest time because Todd and Dane were such nice guys. I thought they were just unorganized, but I've learned so much more. We gave up hope that they would follow-through. But now I must warn others what you could be in for if you build...
Everything went great. Our home sits on .75 of an acre in a fairly undeveloped part of Horseshoe Bay and we needed a fence to help protect our yard and garden from the deer. We are in a part of Horseshoe Bay in which the POA allows both black vinyl-coated mesh fencing and black iron fencing....

"David was highly recommended by Austin Gutter King. We needed our fascia upgraded before having rain gutters installed on our house. He gave us a great estimate and was able to schedule us in a timely manner. He and his crew were very meticulous with attention to detail. He also pointed out some other issues we were having with our siding and chimney. He explained the issues and the proper way to fix them. His workmanship was so good we had him do quite a bit of remodeling on the back of our house where a previous deck had caused water damage to our frame. David is a great carpenter with many other skills as well. All of that and a great personality, he has the full package. We would recommend him highly if you are considering his services."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on wall size, labor, block type, and customizations like frosted or colored glass.
Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.
If you like to be certain of your privacy at home, glass block windows might be your match. They offer privacy without preventing light from entering, while also providing enhanced security. Plus, they increase your home’s energy efficiency.
Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.
You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.
