### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Eric Bramlett, Aug. 2017**

> Doug completed a fairly large renovation project for me in central Austin over the course of ~5 months. He vaulted the ceilings in my house, reworked the floor plan, replaced major systems, and replaced every surface. His communication is top notch & he really cares about his work. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to anyone who needs construction services.
