MEK Homes

If you can find someone else, I would do it. asking too much for scrap and and have not been clear or communicative about what is being required or offered.

In 2023-2024, we did a major renovation to our 1968 home in northwest Austin and chose MEK. At the end of that 13 month project, we were super pleased with the final outcome. Matt has a lot of familiarity with this neighborhood. His team did a great job and were very attentive to detail across all phases of the project. We especially appreciated the efforts of his project manager Marcus, who organized and oversaw work on our house day to day. During busy phases of the project he met with us weekly or biweekly at the job site and patiently answered all our questions. He was always tracking multiple outstanding tasks and nimbly dealt with issues that arose. And he kept things moving at a steady pace; there was rarely a week where the home was idle. Since ours was a big construction project, we knew going in that not everything would go as planned and there would likely be some issues. We expected that some things probably had not even been planned sufficiently and would need to be figured out as we went along. Indeed, we did hit a couple snags, such as the initial permit taking an extra month to be approved. I can’t recall any significant problems that were caused by MEK or their subcontractors. Overall, our experience with MEK has been excellent. We love our renovated house, and we were happy to have worked with MEK Homes!

Matt is simply THE BEST! He is the most professional, likable, and attentive contractor you will ever find. There are not enough superlatives to apply to him and the company he runs. You will not be disappointed.

We've had two remodeling projects completed by Matt with MEK Homes. Each experience came in above our expectations of quality and timeliness, and the budgets were adhered to even though we changed finishes and fixtures along the way. The subcontractors were experienced and worked well together under Matt's direction. I love recommending his company for new builds, remodeling and expansions because I'm confident the job will be done professionally.

Matt and his team were excellent. My project was a complete rebuild on my lot purchased in 2005 with a 1957-built house on it. From demolition of this existing structure in January 2021 to my move into my new house in February 2022 everything in Matt and his team's control could not have gone better. I am thrilled with my new home.

I recently moved to an older home in Northwest Austin that “needed some work”. And by “work”, I mean tearing out walls, redoing plumbing, building closets among other fairly major renovations. Fortunately I had Matt and his team on my side. My “big 3” criteria when judging a project of this scale are quality of communication, time of completion, and adhering to a budget. I wouldn’t be writing this review if Matt hadn’t gone well above and beyond my expectations on all 3. He and his team of contractors were professional, friendly, and trustworthy, and I won’t hesitate to give Matt my repeat business in the future. I love my house!

On Budget. On Time. Great workmanship. Stands behind his work. Pride of craftsmanship. We love our remodeled home, thanks to Matt Kruger.

I don't usually do reviews, but MEK Homes really impressed us! A little background ... Our project was a remodel of a kitchen/living area in our newly purchased home. We did not live in the home while the remodel was going on, and from start (demo) to finish (move in), it took just under 4 months. We gutted this area ... I mean, completely gutted and redesigned the entire area to better fit our family needs. Matt had contacts for architect, designer, flooring, painting, cabinets, electricians, masons, windows, woodwork, home electronics - everything. His architect helped us design the space with the appliances we were purchasing. Help with colors, patterns and design was provided by a designer that we worked with. Estimates were given at the beginning of the project and an ongoing spreadsheet was provided to show us where we were in the process showing any changes we made as well as payments, etc. As with any remodel project, certainly some minor issues can arise - we had very few, but when they did arise, Matt made sure we were made aware and everyone made the necessary steps to fix them. Our project was finished 3 weeks after our deadline, but from what we heard about remodels, we expected to run into needing extra time so we planned for it. Throughout the process, Matt communicated with us on a regular basis and always answered my phone calls and questions. MEK Homes has been in business a long time in Austin and their contacts, knowledge and craftsmanship shows why they remain at the top in this business and why we give them 5 stars. Matt is honest, his team works hard and is very professional. We have been in our home for a little over a year now, and begun looking at other "projects" to tackle - MEK Homes is always our first call. Though we are not doing anything is as big as the kitchen area remodel, Matt always answers our calls or emails and provides us with contacts that can help. Overall, we are very happy with the work of Matt and MEK Homes and recommend them without hesitation and in highest regard!

Matt and MEK homes did a bedroom renovation to add space for our blended family. He very cleverly increased the space in the girls bedroom utililzing space above the stairs and into attic crawl space to add room for another bed, headboard unit and bookshelf. He added drawers and bookshelves using interior wall space and created a closet from an attic access area. The job was done in about a week of daily work and very professional with good cleanup and ability to stay in house. Overall great job!

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience in dealing with Matt Kruger and MEK. Roughly 2 years ago, we relocated to Austin from Los Angeles, and purchased a brand new 2,400 sqft condo that had an additional 535 sqft patio. While we liked the overall feel of the space, we were not so thrilled with the existing floor plan and the builder's finish choices (which were cheap and geared toward the lowest common denominator buyer). So before moving in, we asked Matt to take down a wall and open up the space, reconfigure the living room and dining room, install new matching hardwood flooring into all the rooms, change out existing bannister and hand rails, construct custom cabinetry for our master, tile the outside patio, and design and build a custom structure for the patio to hide unsightly tankless water heaters as well as hold a 65" tv, and install all wiring for our very high end audio/video systems. Matt was able to get the bulk of this done within 3 weeks, so that we could move in. Matt's approach to us was "whatever you want, you get". And we did. The quality of work was great, and trust me I am very picky. His subs are excellent and do meticulous work. He gave us estimates on cost, and for the most part they were dead on. We were so pleased with our experience with Matt that a couple of months later, we hired him yet again to remodel our kitchen by changing out the backsplash, installing a larger sink, painting and refining the cabinets, and installing new appliances. Unfortunately, I am not all that tech savvy with uploading pictures, etc. However, you can see pictures of our place and the work Matt has done by searching this site for "South Austin Condo" as well as on Schroeder Carpet's page and website. Schroeder Carpet (who Matt uses as a sub for the flooring, tiling, etc) loved our project so much that they photographed the condo to feature in Austin Home Magazine as their advertisement.

Matt Krueger is knowledgeable and has had many year's experience working in the home building business. His attitude is great and he's very easy and fun to work with. Matt came in from a botched deck redo and made the process painless and a positive experience. He got the job done in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend him.

MEK Homes did a great job on the complete renovation of our 1940's bungalow in Austin, TX. Matt Kruger and his team of contractors are courteous, respectful and excellent at communication. More importantly, Matt is honest and takes pride in his work.
