Justin2002 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 flipper - I need some guys to hang, tape and texture some rock. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felamy Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 thanks for the list! here are some people that I had an excellent experience with (honest, great quality work, lowest price *surpisingly this combination does exist!*: Pavered driveway - Pavers y Mas- Valente Belemudez- Symmetry patterned pavers in a custom color combination installed for about $7.00 installed a sq.ft with drainage... I was getting upwards of $9 to $12 elsewhere. This is a very honest family operated company. Painting- A&K Painting- Fernando -$9,000 for complete interior painting for a new 5,000+ sq. foot custom home with high ceilings with one color for walls, one for trim, one for ceiling, and 3 to 4 other different choices for different rooms using sherwin williams eggshell paint. this price was only for the paint since the texture was already applied but I had a quote from other companies for $13,000, $16,000 and an unbelievable $30,000 (maybe they were going to use gold) Wrought iron railings- Juarez Iron Works- Gabriel- $63.00 a linear foot for custom designed and faux finished exterior railing with installation. Usually it is $90 to $112 for a similar design and finish but they are a small company just starting out whom i predict will be very successful with their customer service and honesty. Plumbing- Ken Wheat- about $4,000 to install plumbing fixtures throughout and several other plumbing and electrical tasks. He is very trustworthy. I had used Payless insulation also and my rep was Casey. They did an excellent job three weeks ago and for a great price too! I think it was about 78 cents a lf for r-38 and about 5 cents more for celbar. I wish I could say the same for the several other companies I used for various tasks. I am not a builder just an ordindary homeowner who had to finish out my home myself. If you would like contact information or pictures of the work done in my home PM me. Now how about a list of who to AVOID... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had my driveway broken out and repoured @ $4/ft. If I knew I could get pavers for $7/ft I might have gone that direction.flipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They completely rewired the last house I redeveloped and did such a great job that the city inspector stated that he did not need to see the rest of the house because of how clean the breaker box was installed.

Tells me how little value a permit really is. I think that the electrician has a good reputation. When you have a good reputation, they are little bit more relaxed on their inspections because they know the work is going to be correctly. I would never say the city permit process is not valuable. They have been very hard of me sometimes until I proved myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheels Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Can any one recommend reasonable priced quality home inspecters?I have signed contract to buy a new home in Katy area, and I would like to do Phase inspection for my new constrution home.Thanks in advance.Tommy Thompson with Better Residential Home Inspections was a builder in another life, so he is great with new construction. He will do phase inspections if they are close to his home and I believe he lives just north of Katy. His number is 713-882-7460. If he is not able to do the phase inspections, then call Fox Inspection Group at 713-723-3330. They are a bit more expensive, but will do phase inspections on new construction anywhere. The most important inspections will be the framing inspection and the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
