Contractor reviews in Austin, Texas

We worked with Skelly Home Renovations to renovate the two bathrooms in our 1970s house. This was a fairly extensive renovation that involved moving plumbing and walls, and also updated our master bedroom/closet.

From my first call with Diana, everyone we worked with was professional and great at communicating. We worked with Project Manager Lily and she kept us up to date on every small detail of the project via Builder Trend. She was always willing to talk us through the minutia on the phone or to meet up at the house when it was easier to look at things in person. It was FAR from the normal renovation horror stories of lore, where contractors disappear for days on end. Lily reliably got back to us ASAP with honest and detailed answers. When there were bumps in the road (which is inevitable with any home construction project) Lily helped explain all of the options, thought creatively, and brought in the expert trades to help us brainstorm solutions. We met many of the subcontractors that Skelly works with, and they too were always kind and trustworthy. We never felt worried about who was coming and going from our house.

In the end, we were left with two beautiful bathrooms that make us feel like we are in a hotel every time we use them. The quality of the work is excellent and there aren't any small details that were overlooked. Skelly was not the cheapest option out of the quotes that we got, but we feel like the experience was worth every penny.

When I hired Skelly, I had never done a renovation before. I didn't know what to expect but I knew I was signing up for a lot of work as we were renovating all 5 bathrooms in our house. The work is now fully complete and I am SO happy with it! Not only is the quality of work of the highest standards, the process working with the Skelly team was excellent. The communication was always clear and proactive. There were very few surprises as the Skelly team worked diligently to keep me apprised of everything and raised the flag early if unexpected challenges occurred. Two things really stand out to me from my experience with Skelly. First, it was so easy to work with them. I always felt like they had my best interests in mind. Second, they have very high standards of workmanship. They make sure everything is done to their high level of quality and commit to deliver it no matter what.
I enjoyed working with Skelly at every step and I am absolutely thrilled with how the bathrooms turned out. I highly recommend Skelly.

We loved our experience with Skelly Build! They brought in the best contractors to do the highest quality work. Everyone was very responsive throughout the process and any questions or concerns we had got addressed quickly. Our designer loved working with them and would frequently comment on the care they demonstrated with all parts of the project. The final product matched our plans exactly and we'd definitely work with them again in the future.

From Start to Finish, Skelly Build is Exceptional—We’ve worked with Skelly Build on several large projects over the last five years including, the remodeling of main and half bathrooms, replacing all flooring, removing a wall to open up our dining room, updating our kitchen, and rebuilding our balcony from the foundation up. On our latest project, outcomes were outstanding, as always. With Skelly Build we are treated as partners. Everyone is professional, transparent, responsive and lovely to work with. We’d hire Skelly Build again in a heartbeat.

We had a great experience from start to finish on our commercial project. From day 1, Lalita was extremely helpful and transparent and went out of her way to answer our questions.
As first-time business owners, we appreciated how knowledgeable and organized the entire team is. From permitting and inspections to indecision over paint colors, they had an answer or suggestion for everything.
We will always remember how Tiffany and Ashton moved things around to let us have our tile, which we had to remove from the plans due to budget constraints.
Highly recommend working with Skelly, we will definitely call when we are ready for our second location!

We recently undertook a full gut-remodel of our 1930s home in Travis Heights, and the experience with Skelly Build exceeded every expectation. From the very start, they were incredibly thoughtful about our timeline, consistently keeping us informed and setting realistic goals every step of the way. Their open and clear communication regarding budget and project scope helped us feel confident and well-informed, eliminating any guesswork or surprises.
Beyond the fantastic communication, their build quality was outstanding. They took the time to examine every detail—no corner was left untouched or overlooked. It was reassuring to see them meticulously address even the smallest finish so that our newly renovated space truly felt complete and polished.
What really set them apart were the thoughtful recommendations they provided on everyday features. Their suggestions not only enhanced the look of our home, but genuinely improved our day-to-day living - they even constructed tunnels for our cats!
If you’re looking for a team that delivers excellent craftsmanship, transparent communication, and ongoing support, look no further. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would absolutely work with them again!

Skelly Build did an excellent job! The team was professional, reliable, and paid great attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again!

Skelly Build has a great group of PMs and a great product. Josh @ Skelly is a highly trained pro and produces a great build out.

Skelly Build is an excellent company. As a tile contractor, I am eager to seek out professional partners who exemplify similar values and the same drive for excellence that results in high client satisfaction. After finishing my first project with Izzy, I look forward to working together again. It's not competition, it's relationship. When we stand for honor, integrity, excellence and joy in this industry, we all win!

Skelly Build did an extensive remodel to our home in the Hancock neighborhood, they added a second story and remodeled the existing house. The quality of work was impeccable, the process was very transparent and pricing was fair and accurate. Our Project Manager was very communicative and listened to our input during the process. Any of the minor issues we had were resolved quickly. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Skelly Build to anyone looking for a quality contractor.

My husband and I recently renovated our first home -- a loft-style condo in a historic building in downtown Austin. Our project involved major architectural changes, rigorous HOA board approvals, and a prior project that left our electrical situation a mess. I'm so glad we hired the experienced and personable team at Skelly Homes to help us tackle these things and more. Diana has a great eye for design which is an added bonus, and every subcontractor we met was very professional too. This is huge when you're leaving your home in someone else's hands. Renovations can be challenging, emotional and scary, so you want a team that knows the ropes and will teach you how it works along the way. The process can also be FUN, and we now have the real estate + renovation bug. :) We will definitely hire Skelly Homes for our next project!

Skelly Build is a great partner! They care about their builds and elevate their trades. The best in the business!

Working with Skelly Build has been a great experience. R & E CONCRETE LLC has been working along with them for a few years now. We have done few foundations for Skelly Build. We hope to continue working with them.

I would highly recommend skelly build to anyone ! They did a great job with my remodel. Greg my general contractor was a delight to work with and handled any issues quickly. Would hire them again!

Our 13 month project is upon completion and I can honestly say working with SKELLY BUILD and SKELLY BUILT was a STELLAR experience in every way! That said, it was the people we worked with in every single capacity that were the stars. Experience, knowledge, communication skills and sincere care all melded together to give us a home we are proud of and love. We will forever be grateful to SKELLY for working with us in the most extraordinary and exceptional way possible!!

As a trades professional, I see many General Contractors and Subs. Hands down, Skelly Build is at the top. Their communication, technology, skill, vision and staff are all top notch. We have recommended their services to several of our clients - they do not disappoint. And the "finishing touch" is that they are woman-owned!

I work in a salon that was constructed by Skelly Builds and I get so many compliments behind the chair about how cute our salon space is! As supportive as they are to our business I have had the pleasure of getting to know the staff personally behind the chair! Diane is a girl boss with a team full of boss babes! Shoutout to Autumn, Brooke, and Lalita for always being so helpful during the events they host at our salon!

I highly recommend Carley and her amazing team at Skelly Build. I'm a realtor and have worked with them many times on projects ranging from large-scale home renovations to quick tenant turnarounds paint and patch jobs. They do great work, have excellent communication throughout the project, and do the right thing when we hit a bump in the road. Carley has helped me many times when I encounter property issues. She has a "can-do" positive personality, is incredibly knowledgeable, and always helps figure out a solution. Thanks Skelly!

The team at Skelly Build treats customers with genuine care and professionalism. They’re responsive, communicative, and always make sure clients feel supported throughout the custom home, kitchen, and bathroom remodeling process. I appreciate how transparent and respectful they are, which makes the entire experience much smoother. It’s clear they value both quality work and strong relationships with the people they serve.

Working with Skelly Build as a plaster contractor was such a positive experience. Their team is incredibly organized, communicates clearly, and sets realistic timelines that make collaboration smooth and efficient. The level of detail and care they put into each phase of the project is impressive, and it made the entire process not only seamless but enjoyable. We truly appreciated their professionalism and look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

Dare I say the process of home renovation could actually be enjoyable? From bidding with Edgar, to planning and material selection with Ashton, to the final product, every step exceeded expectations. And Tiffany, our project manager, was the absolute best. She set clear expectations, juggled different needs, and always made sure we got what we wanted. She was a master problem solver, coordinating across architect, designer, and subcontractors, and caught details before we even noticed them. Every subcontractor was top-notch, and the end result is a home we truly love. We feel so lucky to wake up here every day.
