We are extremely pleased with his professional expertise and attention to detail. In the planning stage, he's helpful in defining the project to fit the budget and to get the best bang for the buck. He's very honest and trustworthy--I felt comfortable having him in the house when we were gone and he made great decisions in our absence, in fact, he chose our paint color since I wasn't there to see it in context. He is creative and careful when solving issues which inevitably arise within a project and he kept us apprised of his progress frequently (since we weren't there to see for ourselves). I also appreciate that he will tell you if a job is outside the scope of what he can do (which hasn't been much in my experience with him). Michael is an exceptionally talented and skilled craftsman with excellent foresight and communication skills; I highly recommend him for home improvement projects! **★★★★★ — Steve Wotring, Jan. 2014** > I hired Build Austin to work on a bathroom remodel project for us. They came in on time, under budget, and completely exceeded my expectations for the project. Not only did they pay strong attention to detail, but they adhered to a high level of quality in all work performed. **★★★★★ — boggiano, Jan. 2014** > Build Austin is downright the best. We've used this business quite a few times and have been more than pleased with their work and their price. **★★★★★ — Masterpiece Building of Austin, LLC, Jan. 2014** > We do large remodeling projects in the Austin, Texas area and every so often our customers have smaller projects that we cannot get to. They will always ask us who we can refer them to and until recently there was really no one we felt comfortable to pass the baton to until we met Build Austin. Michael has all the work ethics and core values that we stand for as a company and individually. Michael only does quality, conscientious work. We experienced first hand his level of expertise while doing a large remodel at his own home. He did some of his own finishes and we were impressed that the work was at the same level as ours. Some of our customers have since used him and they were very happy with the experience. We highly recommend Build Austin for any size project that they are willing to take on! ## Selected projects - [Spence's backyard deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spence-s-backyard-deck-pj-vj~418931) - Location: Steiner Ranch, TX - Photos: 10 - [Pure Austin Fitness Smoothie Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pure-austin-fitness-smoothie-bar-pj-vj~409198) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 31 - Description: Pure Austin Fitness on Braker. They offered excellent healthy smoothies for Austin's active and fit, but the design and layout of the small commercial kitchen made it a cumbersome and inefficient job for the people behind the counter. It was time for a change, and a massive upgrade in layout and aesthetic. I was honored to be tasked with this challenging makeover. With the help of an incredible concrete contractor, Massif, we had this kitchen up an running in just three days.

Designed or happy accident? A: A deliberate happy accident. I could have made it with a flat front, but chose this instead while building the form. I now have the option of adding an accent in tile or wood, etc. in that space. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
