Green Brick Builders

Ordering a house renovation from Green Brick Builders was a smooth and reassuring experience. I first reached out to them after seeing their positive reviews and portfolio online. They promptly scheduled a consultation to understand my vision and the scope of work needed for my home. During the consultation, they listened carefully to my ideas and offered practical suggestions to improve both aesthetics and functionality. They provided a detailed quote that clearly broke down costs, timelines, and materials, which helped me feel confident about the investment. Once I confirmed the order, Green Brick Builders kept me updated at every stage, sharing progress photos and addressing my questions promptly. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful of my living space. In the end, the renovation was completed on time, with excellent craftsmanship that transformed my house into exactly what I had envisioned. Their transparency and commitment to quality made the entire process hassle-free and rewarding.

The final work on our ADU appears well-done to my eyes, and the team worked steadily to complete the project, including managing the exhausting work of dealing with the city and permitting. However, we started with an estimate of $140k, then signed a contract for $172k, with the builder promising to cover any additional price increases. By the end of the project, we had paid $197k, with incremental charges added over time that felt too small to argue but totaled $25k. These charges were often attributed to items we discussed and believed to be included but weren’t explicitly stated in the contract and were missed by us as laymen. For example, items like skirting board to cover the pier and beam foundation and the minimum planned tree trimming required by a city arborist were not included. The process left me feeling naive. Communication about what was included in the contract was unclear, and every price increase came too late to adjust the scope of work. For example, the builder didn’t deliver the kitchen within the $197k spent, and we had to opt out of things like staining the deck, removing rocks from trenching, and restoring the yard after the work was done. The French doors they installed can only fully open with the help of a mallet due to the use of cheap materials, which was disappointing. While I understand some price increases were outside their control, it felt like they weren’t upfront about what $140k would realistically get us, and they put us in a position where we couldn’t push back without risking the entire project. Now, due to being $60k over budget, we are considering moving altogether to reduce our cost of living, which has made the whole process feel like a net loss. The final product looks nice, but I wouldn’t recommend this builder unless they significantly improve transparency about costs, provide more realistic initial estimates, and ensure the contract reflects the full scope of work. Using higher-quality materials would also improve the overall experience. This was a deeply frustrating experience, and I hope others have a smoother time with them.

Green Brick Builders designed and built our 1,100 square feet ADU at the back of our yard. We were thrilled with the way it turned out. We loved it so much that we moved in the ADU and leased the main house. Unfortunately, after only 6 months of enjoyment my partner's company transferred us to Seattle, but once the 5 year assignment is over, we plan to come back and finally enjoy our ADU for good.

Green Brick Builders did an extensive kitchen renovation of our home. I was apprehensive that the house would be left a total mess. Contractors in Austin are notorious for leaving filth behind them. Our project manager was Cristina, and once they finished the remodeling, a housekeeping crew was supposed to arrive and clean the house. Two people didn't show up; Cristina rolled her sleeves and started helping the staff to clean the house. OH MY GOD! She and the crew left our home spotless - not one speck of dust. She even cleaned on top of the fan, window sills, under the beds, dusted all the shelves, and polished the wood flooring. That was unbelievable! When I tell my neighbors, they can't believe it. I would give them ten stars! Fabulous!

I bought a bungalow and Cristina redesigned the only bathroom in the house. It turned out adorable. I was thrilled with the results. I had a great experience with Green Brick Builders. When it’s time for my kitchen I will be reaching out to them again.

I'm a first time homeowner and knew from the get-go when I purchased that I'd be installing laundry in my forty year old condo. Cristina impressed me right away with her professionalism and ethics. She always made a point of explaining why things needed to be done a certain way and did a great job working within my budget and constraints. I truly felt looked after throughout the whole process and feel like Cristina went above and beyond while taking care of me and my project. Even my neighbors have commented on how involved she was. She even "went momma bear" (my words, not hers, but the best way I can think to describe it) a few times when advocating in my best interests. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be calling her for future projects.

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Green Brick Builders. The company came highly recommended to me by a friend and they met all my expectations. Their team was always prompt and very efficient. I was always kept in the loop throughout the entire project by Cristina. The renovation to my bathroom took 5 weeks and included installing a new specialty tub and tile surround; moving the plumbing, installing a new toilet, tile floor and shower stall, new fixtures and closet door. The project came out beautifully and I am extremely pleased. I would highly recommend Green Brick Builders for any renovation project.

My mother and father who are now nearly in their 70’s live in their house where I grew up. Due to a serious leakage in their kitchen under the sink, a lot of moisture seeped into the wood cabinet and ended up going all the way through the wood flooring. Then I thought about one of my friends who had her bathroom renovated last year and since she was happy with the results I thought I would give a call to the people who did her renovation. I called and Ana came over to chat and assess the situation. We found out that my parents had a serious case of mold problem which prompted a full kitchen renovation all the way to the studs. The project took 10 days over the scheduled time to be completed because Mom kept changing her mind about the finishes but Ana was very patient and helpful. My Mom was thrilled with the end result and she said Ana made it a painless experience. I definitely recommend green brick builders.
