Having worked with numerous contractors in the past, I can confidently say that Gladius surpassed them all in communication, budget management, and time efficiency. In a field where trust is paramount, it was truly reassuring to work with a contractor who actually prioritizes honesty and integrity. They were always two steps ahead, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. The final results delivered by Gladius were shockingly astounding. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to perfection were evident in every aspect of the renovated home. It's not often that one is genuinely taken aback by the transformation, but Gladius managed to exceed all expectations. The level of excellence in the final outcome truly sets them apart. If you're seeking a renovation that goes above and beyond, Gladius Construction & Design is the remarkable choice. ### All 19 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-190752684, Nov. 2025** > I used Gladius Construction & Design, and I wouldn’t trust any other contractor. From start to finish they delivered fair pricing, transparent communication, and quality work that truly exceeded my expectations. Their team kept everything on track, respected our home and schedules, and the craftsmanship shows. If you’re looking for a contractor in Austin who brings integrity, reliability and real value, Gladius is the one. **★★★★★ — Laura Bubak, Sept. 2025** > We hired Gladius for a complete remodel of our downstairs, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, competence, and attention to detail. Every aspect of the remodel—from the flooring to the custom cabinetry—was executed with precision and care. > > What truly stood out was their commitment to keeping the workspace clean and organized throughout the process, which made living through the remodel much easier. If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers top-notch work on time and with a personal touch, I highly recommend Levi and his team! **★★★★★ — HU-287126133, Aug. 2025** > Gladius Construction did an outstanding job on our project from start to finish. Their team was professional, reliable, and communicated clearly every step of the way. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail really stood out, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed on time and exactly how we envisioned it. Gladius Construction definitely delivered. Highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — HU-37910793, Aug. 2025** > We have been working Gladius and Levi for about 5 years now. We love how efficiently he takes care of his projects. Once they start, all of their focus goes towards that project. Levi is very driven by his homeowner’s happiness and he makes sure they are taken care of every time. **★★★★★ — HU-290996439, Aug. 2025** > Levi has been one of the easiest people to work with! Professional, punctual, and was able to solve problems that arose quickly. I will be recommending him to my friends and will definitely work with him in the future! **★★★★★ — HU-242733606, Sept. 2024** > We worked with Gladius Construction & Design to add a gas fireplace and cabinets to our living room. Levi and his team were great to work with. Will definitely use them again the future! **Comment from Gladius Construction & Design:** > Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Gladius Construction & Design for your living room fireplace project! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed working with Levi and the team. It was a pleasure bringing your vision to life, and we look forward to working with you again in the future. **★★★★★ — Braden Walker, Nov. 2023** > We worked with Levi and his team at Gladius Construction & Design to remodel our kitchen. They were able to complete the project within our relatively tight time and budget requirements and did a fantastic job. The folks at Gladius and their subcontractors did their best to minimize their impact during the remodel, which really helped as my partner and I both work from home. Contact from Levi and his team was always quick and extensive -- we even went through a whole checklist with Levi to double-check that each new fixture or piece of equipment we purchased would fit with the new design. Gladius did an awesome job and put forth extra effort to make sure we were happy with the job. I'd absolutely recommend them for home remodeling and redesign. **★★★★★ — HU-876103748, July 2023** > We worked with Gladius Construction & Design to renovate our primary bathroom. Levi was fantastic in all aspects of the job. Levi and Gladius went above and beyond with their communication. Our construction manager was Mike and he was great to work with. Every person who came to work in our home was extremely professional. They were even friendly with our two dogs which was a bonus. We absolutely love the finished project. We will definitely work with them again down the road for our next renovation. **★★★★★ — Ross Hutchason, Jan. 2023** > We worked with Levi at Gladius Construction for a full renovation of our very out-of-date kitchen in our newly purchased home. He partnered us with Inside Design Co to design a fully customized kitchen and bar area. The results were everything we could have hoped for. He and his team completed the project that included new floors, interior paint, new countertop configuration, beautiful lighting, backsplash, and cabinets. He and his crew were timely, professional, and clean. Levi was in communication with us throughout the project and stayed in budget and on schedule. We would highly recommend Levi and Gladius Construction. **★★★★★ — paulg071, Jan. 2023** > We recently completed a full kitchen remodel and floor replacement for the entire first level of our house. We had already found a cabinet designer through friends, and were given a list of several GCs to manage the project and handle everything else. Levi Morgan was on that list and one of several we interviewed. We went with him because we liked his enthusiasm and believed he was the right guy for us. > > Throughout the project Levi was incredibly transparent. He was on top of all communication, upfront with minor unforeseeable things that popped up along the way, like leaking water valves that were exposed during the process, or kitchen vents that needed to be moved because the hood we selected was too tall to use the existing one. He handled the work and did not mark up the labor on the change orders to deal with these issues. He routinely shared invoices from his subs to show what things cost. It is important to have realistic expectations when taking on large remodel projects. Stuff is going to happen, and when it did, we appreciated how he handled it. > > One thing that struck us was that all of the subcontractors he brought into our house to work were so ridiculously polite. I commented to him often that I didn't know where he kept finding all these nice people to do the work. The painters went way above and beyond, as did other workers who I saw do lots of little things that most people might miss or never appreciate, just because they wanted to do something right. He also did a great job making sure that the pace of work was as swift as it could be, there were really no long down times in between tasks. The project took about 3 months, which is in line with the expectations we had set from the start. > > Levi is OCD in the right way, we agonized together over small details like where light fixtures should hang, how far apart they should be, etc. He really wanted the project to come out perfect and be something we would all be proud of. Now that it's done, I can say we definitely are. Our entire house is transformed and we are 100% happy. **★ — HU-557863633, Aug. 2022** > Working with Levi Morgan of Gladius Construction was a miserable and unprofessional experience. > > In short, the job cost 33% more than quoted, took 10 months longer, the quality of work and material were frequently compromised, and our house was flooded. > > Levi has very little knowledge of construction techniques, which severely affected his ability to coordinate subcontractors or drive accountability. He rarely oversaw or inspected his subcontractors' work, creating conflicts between trades and leaving glaring oversights in workmanship and quality. He frequently fought with us, defending poor quality without even inspecting it. Nearly every aspect of the job required my intervention. Toward the end I worked directly with subs and saved my time and frustration trying to coordinate with Levi at all. > > Levi’s attitude was unprofessional and erratic. On multiple occasions he hung up the phone, or yelled, and for days at a time would not answer any phone calls. > > Gladius is advertised as a “design-build” firm, yet we still suffered several build conflicts which required costly custom solutions due to lack of foresight. The job was quoted to be a 4-6 month project, but ultimately took 14 months to complete. To Levi’s credit he did, ultimately, achieve city inspection and occupancy sign-off. But even then, some work was left incomplete, door and cabinet hardware, thresholds, baseboards. > > Levi made no effort to keep financial records during the build. He frequently requested more money, but could rarely pinpoint what exactly I was paying for and often contradicted himself. One example, we paid a variance of more than two-thousand dollars to upgrade our main electrical service box, but the electrician determined it did not need upgrade and did not change it. Levi would not refund the variance payment. He revealed that he had taken a personal loan to keep the company afloat and used his financial duress as an excuse for delays and poor quality. At the close of the work, he claimed that he had paid sixty-thousand dollars of his own money to complete our job, but refused to produce any records to substantiate the claim. > > Beyond being inaccurate, the original quote from Gladius had large gaps. It completely omitted insulation in the walls and ceiling. It did not include tree protection or termite mesh on drains which were required by the city. All of which we then paid additionally. > > The worst part was when our house flooded because the partially integrated roof was not waterproof. There was already a roof-tarp onsite which should have been installed prior, but was not. We had to bail water in the middle of the night, had to rip up floor boards and drywall, then lived with deafening industrial fans and dehumidifiers running in the house 24/7 for 2 weeks. It then took 4 months to close with insurance. To Levi's credit, he was insured. > > I would not recommend Levi or Gladius Construction. **★★★★★ — Ana Branz, April 2022** > Levi was so wonderful to work with. We had never done a remodel and he took time to understand our project to guide us and lead us in the right direction from the start. He connected is with all the right people and was always honest, transparent and professional. He understood our budget was very upfront about what he could and couldn’t do with what we had. We are very thankful for everything he did for us, really going above and beyond to ensure that pur project was a success. **★★★★★ — Lauren Sheppard, April 2022** > We had a wonderful experience with Gladius! Levi kept us updated every step of the way and made things work within our schedule. We had a poor experience with a contractor in the past so it was quite refreshing working with someone who made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Levi holds his guys to a high quality standard and that is so appreciated it. Our new bathroom is absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be contacting Levi/Gladius for any further contracting needs. **★★★★★ — LouRae Doyle, Oct. 2021** > I hired Gladius Construction to remodel the living areas of my twenty-year-old townhome in February 2021. My project included creating a design, gutting much of the old space, moving and removing walls, and installing new floors, cabinetry, counters, and built-ins. Levi Morgan and his team showed up and delivered even more than promised. They were mindful of my budget and helped me achieve my vision without sacrificing quality. Everyone who worked in my home was highly skilled and their craftsmanship is evident throughout. I have visited remodeled townhomes in my area and the caliber Gladius’s work is beyond anything else I have seen. > > The process has been delightfully collaborative and the result is a transformation of my once cramped and dated townhouse into an open, livable space that will meet my needs for years to come. I highly recommend Gladius Construction and Design. **★★★★★ — Annmarie Avila-Masch, Nov. 2020** > Gladius was a huge help in understanding what was possible in our renovation project. They met with us and provided excellent information and ideas about how to approach the scope of work we had planned. Taylor cares about the projects he takes on is very considerate of your time and budget. Highly recommended! **Comment from Gladius Construction & Design:** > Annmarie & Ezra! We are glad to have been a help to your family. If you ever need our services, we are here for you. You were a pleasure to work with as well and we hope you are enjoying your new home! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Field, Oct. 2020** > We hired Gladius to demo and replace the back door in our home. Levi was amazing to work with and provided us with all our options from the start, all while being super timely and responsive as we planned our the project. Even when the door supplier had delays, Levi made sure to keep us updated so we never had to worry about reaching out for information. The install went smoothly and the whole team was super friendly and respectful of our home (did a thorough clean up too!) - the new door fits perfectly and you'd never know we had it replaced with how well it matches the interior and exterior of our home, including the challenge of matching the stucco! Would highly recommend Gladius for any project and would hire them again for any future work on our home! **Comment from Gladius Construction & Design:** > Matt & Liz! Thank you, so much for the kind words and pictures, we greatly enjoyed working with you both as well. We are here anytime you need us and are glad to be your Austin contractor:) > The Gladius Team **★★★★★ — Joseph Colletti, June 2020** > Gladius is highly skilled, extremely creative, and expedient in completion. The deck, roof, pergola project has transformed my yard into resort/ spa inspired living. Gladius will be working on my kitchen next. I highly recommend this company. **Comment from Gladius Construction & Design:** > Wow Joseph! > Thank you so much for the review, we really enjoyed your project. It is always wonderful to align with our customer’s vision and deliver a great result that we are both proud of. We are excited to work on the kitchen and any other future projects at the Colletti home. > > Thanks again, > > Gladius Construction & Design Team **★★★★★ — Erin Davidson, May 2020** > Taylor is very professional - he did an amazing job on my kitchen. He was always on time, had thoughtful suggestions, and worked with my vision. He was great to work with and I'll definitely be recommending him to my friends! **Comment from Gladius Construction & Design:** > Thank you, Erin! We enjoyed working with you as well and look forward to assisting with your family’s future renovations. ## Selected projects - [Bee Caves Full Renovation - Phase I](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bee-caves-full-renovation-phase-i-pj-vj~7776170) - Location: Bee Cave, TX - Photos: 53 - [Bee Caves Full Renovation - Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bee-caves-full-renovation-master-suite-pj-vj~7776179) - Location: Bee Cave, TX - Photos: 21 - [Meridian Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meridian-home-renovation-pj-vj~7393259) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 14 - [Meridian Bathrooms & Laundry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meridian-bathrooms-and-laundry-pj-vj~7393271) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 11 - [Lakeway Eclectic Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeway-eclectic-bathroom-pj-vj~7623341) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 7 - [Kitchen Remodel Via Grande-Austin, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-via-grande-austin-tx-pj-vj~7209386) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 13 - Description: Gorgeous transformation, custom granite, cabinets, backsplash, wood contrast island , black lighted cabinets, gold hardware. wood and white cabinets, custom lighting. floating shelves. - [Lakeway Cozy Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeway-cozy-cottage-pj-vj~7776194) - Location: Lakeway, TX - Photos: 24 - [Southwestern Charm Bathroom (Circle C)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southwestern-charm-bathroom-circle-c-pj-vj~7564640) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 17 - [Villa on Lake Travis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/villa-on-lake-travis-pj-vj~7264111) - Location: Austin, Texas - Photos: 13 - Description: Positive vibes only!
