He built a custom home for my family in the Westlake area and he did it on time and under budget despite the complexities, setbacks and very demanding clients! He is the most open, honest and hard working builder I have ever met and would recommend him even for the most complex projects. Here is the link to the house photos as a reference to the great job he did: http://www.designboom.com/architecture/jadric-architektur-orients-house-in-austin-around-infinity-pool-02-11-2014/ **★★★★★ — Chris Martin, June 2014** > Our experience with Doug Marsh and SkyWest Builders on our home remodel/expansion in Tarrytown was: > On time. On budget. Highest quality. Most ethical. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention and counsel toward green building. We received countless compliments from our neighbors DURING construction on how hard everyone worked and how polite they all were. > > Working with Doug is not working. It's building a relationship. Nah...it's a friendship. > > Our highest recommendations for this builder for new construction or remodels. **★★★★★ — melindalear, June 2014** > Doug was the contractor for an addition we had done to the back of our home. We are so thrilled with how it turned out. It is beautiful. His workers did a beautiful job and Doug watched them closely to make sure all was going well. The workers were very respectful and courteous. Doug was at the job everyday and most days twice. We get compliments all the time on how great the finish out of the new room looks. Thank you Doug for a beautiful new space! I will definitely recommend you to clients, family and friends in the future. **★★★★★ — cabguitar, June 2014** > This was the second major remodel we did with Skywest. The first involved a 700sq ft addition (adding a second floor) and the most recent involved a total revamp of the kitchen. High-quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, responsible and personable employees all made for great experiences. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again if I had it to do over again. **★★★★★ — stinkyskunk, May 2014** > We have used Doug for two projects. The first one was a second floor addition about 8 years ago, and the most recent was a kitchen remodel with half bath. Both times we have been nothing but happy with the work done. It's on time, on budget, professional and tidy. He really stands by the work, and we never had to worry about anything at all, it just got done. We would most definitely call Doug again if we were to take on another project. ## Selected projects - [Peachtree 5 Star new Green Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peachtree-5-star-new-green-build-pj-vj~2568836) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 5 - Description: 5 star Green Build; Architecture by Ann Patterson; Deep Steel pier foundation construction - [Eason Duplex conversion and Garage apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eason-duplex-conversion-and-garage-apartment-pj-vj~2274541) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 4 - Description: 1930's duplex Complete renovation wthe garage apartment in the rear.
