They came to my home and reviewed the damage. A bid for repairs soon followed. Once the work was scheduled, they came on site, performed the work in a very timely and professional manner. I will certainly use them on future repairs and recommend them to friends.

They estimated the job. The scheduled the work. and performed the work as scheduled and completed the task on a timely and professional basis.
Description of Work: Minor wall repair and painting.
Fantastic communication, I knew every step of the way what the repair status was and what the next step would be. Kevin (the PM) responded in minutes to any questions I had and his team did fantastic quality work, and also worked clean and were just generally a very nice bunch of experts. If we ever have another crisis like this one (God forbid), these guys are the ones I’m calling first. We just did the final walkthrough and it looks even better than before the flood. They even built a custom cabinet identical to the one destroyed by mold with only verbal instructions, no pictures to go on and it’s beautiful.

I was beyond impressed with Austin Hi-Tech Restoration. We had a huge job that needed to be done on a very tight timeframe and the folks at Austin Hi-Tech made it happen. Everyone we worked with - from Cindy in the office, to Glen the estimator, to Kevin the project manager, and all the guys that actually did the work on the house - was fantastic. The project was completed way faster than I thought possible, and we absolutely LOVE our new floors and bathrooms. I can’t thank them enough.
For a nightmare of a flooded house, it was fantastic service. Always explained everything and were always punctual. I hope I never have to use them again....but IF i do-i will call them 1st. Excellent service.

When we noticed water damage on one of our walls after a solid week of rain, we frantically searched for someone to help us out of our predicament. At the recommendation of a friend, we contacted Austin Hi-Tech's emergency services team and promptly they arrived at our house. Robert and his team handled themselves in a very professional manner and treated both my wife and me with great respect. They worked efficiently to get our roof tarped and to set up drying fans and dehumidifiers in the affected rooms. They even came on the weekend to monitor the progress, and ultimately helped us to determine that there was in fact no issue with a leaky roof but rather a leaking water heater. Once they were able to stop the water, the walls were dried out in no time and no major repairs were necessary. We would definitely call on them again if we were to find ourselves in a bind.

Description of Work: I didn't have any problem with the actual work that was performed. I had issue with how they went about giving me the estimate for work. | |When I called, I explained the issue, the location, what had happened, etc., and asked them if they could give me a quote. The representative on the phone said they would have to have someone look at it, and then I could get an estimate. The service call guy came out, looked at the issue, and I asked him what is the estimate. He said I would have to talk to the phone representative as he could give me a direct estimate. It seemed like a run-around trying to not give me a quote (not sure if they were afraid they would over/under bid, or what).

All I can say is you get what you pay for... This was an insurance claim and you know how that goes... Insurance doesn't want to pay much. This company was recommended by our insurance company and was really all we could afford with what insurance was paying out. They had to replace my bathroom and kitchen cabinets, paint most all of the walls and ceilings in my house. The painting was the biggest headache. They could never get it right with the texture on my ceiling in the living room. They ended up having to cut out a piece of the sheetrock and replaced it with the wrong size sheetrock. 1/2 inch vs 3/4 inch. They literally painted my ceiling 7 times and cut the sheetrock out in one area 2 times before they finally got it somewhat satisfactory. I can still see to this day where the damage was on my ceilings. a job that should have been done in less than 1 month took the entire summer. If you use this company make sure you demand their and quot;Aand quot; team.

Response from AUSTIN HI-TECH RESTORATION
Being in the fire and water damage restoration business for over twenty years, we understand the insurance claims process can be frustrating. We constantly evaluate our sub-contractors in terms of workmanship, cleanliness, attitude and punctuality. They are a key factor in our overall performance as a general contractor. Our subcontractors are committed to our company as well as our customers and are quality tradesmen. When repairing damage due to an insurance loss, many challenges surface over the lifespan of the repairs. It is sometimes near impossible for newly repaired areas to match with older areas that did not receive damage due to material availability. The materials used when the home was built are sometimes no longer available, and a critical eye can see the difference. We attempt to resolve any issues during the final inspection and walkthrough. Austin Hi-Tech does not close a project until a client’s signature is on our Certificate of Satisfaction (COS). Your COS was signed September 9, 2013 and although we don’t always catch every issue, we always try and make sure that we give our customers every opportunity to express their concerns so that we may resolve them. Our goal is to be a great company and provide excellent customer service. Our management team is always looking for ways to improve our performance. In this instance, we apologize for your experience. Any delays should have discussed with you in order to reset expectations. Your feedback is appreciated and it will help us to improve our service in the future.

Response from AUSTIN HI-TECH RESTORATION
Your positive comment, “great job on repairs” is greatly appreciated and the fact that you would use our company again means so much to us. Being in the fire and water damage restoration business for over twenty years, we understand the insurance claims process can be frustrating. Our estimate amounts have to fall within what claims adjusters consider a customary and reasonable range. It can take several days to weeks to negotiate cost settlement with insurance adjusters. However, this is a necessary step to ensure our clients are out-of-pocket no more than their deductible. We constantly evaluate our sub-contractors in terms of work product, cleanliness, attitude and punctuality. They are a key factor in our overall performance as a general contractor. Our subcontractors are committed to our company and our customers; as quality tradesmen, their time is in demand. We strive to schedule our subcontractors so that their work is as minimally disruptive your calendar as possible, but occasionally they can be early or late for appointments. Our goal is to be a great company and provide excellent customer service. Our management team is always looking for ways to improve our performance. In this instance, our communication could have been better. Any administrative delays should have been discussed with you in order to reset expectations. Your feedback is appreciated and it will help us to improve our service in the future.

Once we signed the contract with their company to do the work, it was like okay we got the business and nobody came to our home for 3 weeks and that was only after me calling and raising BLEEP! At the end of the day, once they got their ducks in a row (on my time) the work was good and Greg got it done like he said he would. There is some sort of lack of organization between getting the job and then it getting actually assigned to a project manager (like Greg). Once he got the job (3 weeks later) it was boom boom boom. Work was great experience was bad .
Description of Work: Fire restoration. Very unorganized. Once they got our business nobody from Austin Hi Tech came to our home for 3 week (after I called raising cain). Very disappointed

We apologize for your experience in delays. There was significant fire damage to the home you were selling. A closing date was already set when we accepted the job. We understand that this was an extremely stressful situation you were placed in. Having to deal with an insurance claim on a property you are selling will test the patience of anyone. Our estimator worked diligently with the insurance adjuster during the last week of April to gain estimate approval. The estimate was approved by the insurance carrier on April 30th. The client paid their deductible on May 1st. A job can only be put in production after we’ve received a deductible. We felt that we communicated that the estimate approval and the deductible payment were requisite to work beginning. Our project manager, Greg, began working with the buyers on May 2nd. Greg worked extensively and patiently with the new buyers on their selections and wishes. Working long hours with our crews (until two o’clock in the morning in one instance and starting again at seven o’clock the next), Greg accomplished two months worth of work in just over four weeks. These clients signed a certificate of satisfaction on June 6th. The project was completed in time for the closing of the home. We believed that we had adequately communicated the time delay that may occur when working with the adjuster to gain estimate approval. It’s tough to know if that delay could have been shortened, but we should have done a better job communicating with you during the delay to assuage fears that no work was being done. We appreciate your feedback and will work hard to improve our communication with customers.

The sewer system backed up into the bath and bedroom of the rental property and caused extensive damage. Austin Hi-Tech Restoration responded quickly and completed the work in a timely manner. We especially appreciated that they stayed in frequent contact with us and kept us informed about the progress of the job. The contact person was knowledgeable about options and prices and what was required to get the job done right. We highly recommend them.

Stan made it easy for us and saved me a lot of time. I had to have my wood floor replaced and I told Stan I just wanted something like what I had. He took samples of my wood and carpet and found the perfect replacements. He coordinated his schedule to accommodate ours. I was even able to text him a picture of the bathroom vanity I wanted and he picked it up the very next morning. I was very pleased with each phase and the communication during the whole process.

From start to finish, Austin Hi-Tech was responsive and professional. They told us exactly what they'd do, and then did it. They worked quickly and did excellent work, matching texturing, paint, etc., even in some spots that were very difficult to get to (kitchen ceiling over some cabinets -- not sure how they managed that one!). When the supervisor came out to review the job with my wife, he spotted an area of the ceiling that looked like it hadn't been repainted properly, and said he'd have the painter back out the next day. We didn't have to point this out much less argue about anything; they saw it and took care of it. Overall, this is the kind of company you hope to find by looking on Angie's List. I'd use them again without looking around for someone else.
Description of Work: We had a small electrical fire in our house. Our local Fire Department was great and minimized the water and smoke damage, but there was still quite a bit of work to be done. We talked to a few companies and went with Austin Hi-tech. They mitigated the smoke damage, repaired damaged wiring, insulation, etc., and then replaced all drywall, trim, etc., as needed. They painted and cleaned up so that you would not know they (or the damage!) had ever been there.

They were able to come in and restore everything. I felt that they did a very good job. They had to hire contractors to come in and do some of the work. Everyone that they hired were so courteous, respectful, and just overall very nice to work with. They were all fast, efficient, and did everything they told me they would do. I was initially told the work would be done in 3 weeks, but they were able to finish in 2. Overall, I was extremelly happy with the work they did.
Description of Work: My hot water tank, which is located upstairs, broke, and did a lot of damage.
