Get matched with top outdoor kitchen builders in Godley, TX

"Aaron is a talented craftsman and a true professional. At our first meeting, he gave me a comprehensive overview of what needed to be done to repair/maintain my neglected (by previous owner) ten-year-old flagstone patio. He answered all my questions and it was clear from the get-go that he knew his stuff. I was also impressed with his attention to detail in performing the work, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The project involved removing/repairing some crumbling masonry, re-pointing several areas, expansion joints (perfectly matching the existing work), power-washing and sealing. Part 2 was acid washing and power washing and resealing a separate red tile porch with tinted sealer, which completely erased all the white hard water stains (due to potted plants) from years past. Excellent work!"

"Due to our schedule we are only hired and started that work. The interview, details, explanation and price were obviously the best we received. We had talked to four other contractors. Thus far we have had the plumbing, gas and some concrete work, all on schedule with polite workers who did a good clean up. We are looking to getting the main work done in a couple of weeks."

"We had both tuck and point done as well as an outdoor kitchen built. The team was extremely professional. It was done while we were out of town and all of our neighbors commented on how hard working and nice the team was while they were working. They are a great company to work with!"

"They had a quick response to my issue and showed up on time and did an excellent job fixing my issue on the patio ceiling."

"Had a 12' X 18' room built. They were a very professional company, Everyone on the job knew their stuff. Room was built in less than a month.

I would definitely hire them again."

"First thing to say, I really liked JC Hill, the contractor. He's just a laid back kind of guy with a good sense of humor and bad knees. Easy to talk to and understood what I wanted done. That's why I hired him.

Secondly, for the most part I like the finished product a lot. They were very fast. The remodel only took about 3 weeks total once they got started, which was way faster than I imagined it would take.

Now, the problems. Some things were done badly. The people he had working for him, while very nice, didn't know how to work with wood. Any wood they finished or refinished was badly done. I had them touch up some interior doors and they look worse now than they did before.  I also had them replace the bifold doors leading into the laundry area and they installed doors that were and look cheap.  In the course of the remodel new baseboards had to be installed. I didn't realize until after they were all installed that the new ones aren't even wood. They're some kind of pressboard. The day after they left I was hanging a key caddy on the wall and it fell and put a hole in the baseboard. I thought what? and then picked up the piece that fell out and it was just like cardboard. I was stunned. The light fixture in the kitchen was hung at least 6 to 12 inches too high. It looks ridiculous. Several pieces of the backsplash tile on the stove side of the kitchen are cracked. Why would they install cracked tile? The backsplash tile on the sink side of the kitchen looks like a child installed it. Some tiles stick out and some are sunk in. No smoothness to the surface at all. When I pointed it out to the sub, he said he'd fix it and the result was even worse. The ceiling in the back hall and the laundry area, while painted, looks terrible. Again, I think a child could have done a better job and they put the old dirty a/c vent back up without even painting it. I had to go around and do a lot of the touch up painting myself, which I didn't mind so much but sheesh.

I called JC and he came out and looked at the problems. He just shook his head when he saw the backsplash area but said it couldn't be fixed. The tiles are all set. (I don't believe it can't be fixed. It would just be a major, expensive fix and he doesn't want to do it.) He said he'd fix the staining and varnishing of the doors, replace the baseboards with wood and have the light fixture lowered. He said he'd have another of his contractors call me and the work shouldn't take more than a day. Time went by and no call. I called JC again and he told me the guy had been really busy on another job but that he was finishing up and would call me. Time went by and again no call. So I called JC again and again he came up with some excuse but for sure now the guy would call and come out. More time went by. We're talking not days here, but weeks. This is now at least 4 weeks out from when he was here and said he'd have it fixed. I called him a 4th time and this time his connection was so bad I couldn't understand him. I gave up. I told him I wouldn't call again. So, now I'm stuck with living with an expensive remodel that looks bad and needs fixing or hiring someone else to fix things I already paid JC for.

If you hire him, do NOT give him his final payment until at least a week or two after the final work is done. This will give you time to really look things over and make sure they were done correctly and to your satisfaction. Afterall, you're paying for it.

All the above ratings would have been all A's and B's if he had just had things done correctly or fixed the problems.

UPDATE 9/17/14:

About two weeks after I made this post, JC called me and told me he had been out of the country but he was back now and he had a subcontractor free who could come and help fix things. The guy and his assistant came (nice guys btw) and worked for about two weeks on fixing things. They lowered the light in the kitchen to the proper height, they replaced the baseboards with actual wooden ones, they did their best fixing the backsplash problem. (It's very difficult to replace individual tiles in a backsplash but they did really a pretty good job). The doors leading from the kitchen to the garage and from the kitchen to a bedroom were also replaced (at my expense) as well as the bifold door in front of the laundry area.

I would rate the fact that after all this time someone did come and try to fix things as an "A" rating. However, all the above problems did happen and people should be aware of them and because of them I'm leaving the above ratings as I first had them.

Two more things to say: First everyone who worked for this company that I had any contact with were really nice people. Easy to talk to and easy to have in your home. Secondly, read your contract. If there is something you don't understand or seems like a gray area, talk it out with JC and have the contract written in a way that you both understand exactly what each point means. He was very good to me on that and I'm glad I did because there were a few areas that would have been problematic if I hadn't had it clarified."
