Derek responded quickly to my request. My 75-year-old house was in great need of a facelift. He and his team repaired siding, stained the deck, and did a nice job painting the exterior. He addressed everything listed in the estimate and charged a fair price.

Details: Home • One story • Before 1978 • Siding • Trim • Deck • Entire building • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Wood • Peeling or flaking paint • Trim pulling away from house • Water damage • Cracks

Everyone should hire Derek and his team. They are professional, courteous, on time, and honest. And more than fair when it comes to estimates. They tackled my exterior home paint project like champs, and it came out beautiful! I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Derek!!

Austin Home Solutions did an awesome job painting the exterior of my 1910 home. Derek provided a competitive quote and he and Tim got the job done fast even though they encountered multiple obstacles along the way. My contractor unfortunately cut a lot of corners when he put on new siding, but Derek and Tim took on the challenge to install missing trim, repair large gaps, and caulk every nook and cranny to ensure that the house would look good and be protected. Derek understands good customer service and that communication can be just as important as the quality of the work. He updated me frequently throughout the process so that I always knew what times he was coming in addition to always asking for clarification or feedback, something more professionals ought to do!

Details: Home • Single-level building • After 1978 • Siding • Entire building • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Fiber cement • No, I would like the professional to supply the paint • No visible exterior damage

Derek and team did a fantastic job on our exterior paint project. They were very responsive in the bid process. He took time and was very detailed in working through the expectations of the projects. The end result was high quality and exceed my expectations. I would recommend Austin Home Solutions and will use them again on my next project.

Derek and his assistant (Amando, I hope I spelled that right!) were completely incredible and I would hire them again in a heartbeat! Derek came right away and gave me a fair and reasonable estimate for fixing some rotting wood on the exterior of our house and then painting the entire thing! My husband and I struggled to pick a color and Derek texted with me the entire time and gave me suggestions and feedback. He recommended that we paint the brick which I hadn't even considered and it looks AMAZING! All of the rotting wood, which resulted from the previous owners neglect was completely taken care of by him. I told him originally that he could just quick fix it with putty and he said no way we are doing this the right way! And I'm so glad because the rot went further back than expected. He also did an incredible job cleaning and prepping the exterior before painting--the outside of our house was disgusting with algae and mold growing and he spent a long time scrubbing it before doing anything else. We were very pleased and thankful for how meticulous he was and how much he cared about everything being done the way we liked it. Even at the end, after my husband did a walk around, we realized that the back door would look better painted like the trim, so Derek said he'd come back and do that for us. We are very pleased with the results and with the experience we had with Austin Home Solutions! I have already recommended them to a friend!
