Sky West Builders - Austin, Texas

DJ Whitlock

We recently remodeled our 1950's home with an extensive kitchen and living area renovation. We wanted top quality and great service and that's exactly what we received with Doug Marsh and Skywest Builders. The project came in on time and on budget, there were no surprises.
Primarily a kitchen remodel, the project included extensive custom cabinetry, granite installation of all new appliances into the cabinets. We also opened up the living area spaces by removing several walls, some were loading bearing and external walls so work was done in the attic with beam support, as well as all of the old hardwood flooring was pulled out and new wood went down. All windows and doors were replaced throughout the entire house, and every surface was painted.
The communications between Doug and ourselves was just enough and always immediate when we needed an unscheduled contact. His communications with vendors and the designer/architect was also timely, courteous and consistent… very essential to keep the project moving as the renovation can become a bit of a moving target as old-house issues tend to pop up.
Doug always had our best interests at heart and put all the facts on the table to assist us with making the proper decisions in a timely manner.
There are many custom design elements that make this renovation stand out and Doug was right in the middle of things with his sub-contractors and proven list of quality vendors. We never had to worry about a sub-par element being introduced into our new dream home and Doug was fantastic about introducing a variety of options to us, and this is a testament to the time he invests in your project.
Doug puts in the time and effort doing his homework for you. He works up a few estimates so you have options with those important decisions you will be paying for now and enjoying for years. With a job this big, there will always be things that needed adjusting and tweaking at the end, the “punch list”. Although a small list, Doug was fast and so easy to work with and the trust we had built up made that process very painless and stress free.
Doug truly cares about his customer and wants the job done right as much as you do. You cannot go wrong with Skywest Builders and Doug Marsh taking care of your project. You will be happy with the time you spend with Doug during your project and I can tell you now that after two months in our home we could not be more pleased with the end results.

Doug Marsh at SkyWest Builders did a fabulous job on a big remodel project for us last summer. He was attentive at every stage of the process. Amazingly the cost did not go over projections. Doug worked effectively with a decorator and a broad variety of subs. He was especially good at figuring out what was important to us and tailoring decisions and suggestions to our budget and tastes. I will certainly use SkyWest for my next remodel job!

Doug was the contractor for an addition we had done to the back of our home. We are so thrilled with how it turned out. It is beautiful. His workers did a beautiful job and Doug watched them closely to make sure all was going well. The workers were very respectful and courteous. Doug was at the job everyday and most days twice. We get compliments all the time on how great the finish out of the new room looks. Thank you Doug for a beautiful new space! I will definitely recommend you to clients, family and friends in the future.

Our experience with Doug Marsh and SkyWest Builders on our recent home remodel/expansion in Tarrytown:

On time. On budget. Highest quality. Most ethical. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention and counsel toward green building. We received countless compliments from our neighbors DURING construction on how hard every one worked, and how polite they all were.

Working with Doug is not working. It's a relationship. Nah....it's a friendship.
Our highest recommendations for this builder for new construction or remodel.

Doug Marsh is without a doubt the best general contractor with whom a person can work. He helped us remodel our entire house 18 months ago and we could not be happier with the end result. He listens to you; helps you realize your dream; stays on budget; has the utmost respect of his subcontractors, and he for them, which is obvious when you see them working together; had weekly meetings with me to discuss the progress that had been made during the week and what was upcoming for the week ahead; always answered his phone when I had a question; and was involved in practically every detail of the day-to-day activities, because he takes extreme pride in providing a flawless finished product. He provided me with a schedule of decisions I needed to make and by when they needed to be made. I stayed on schedule and so did he. In fact, he finished over two weeks early, which I think is unheard of in the world of building / remodeling! When the remodel was finished, I was sad, because he made the process seem so easy and I was going to miss working with him! We joked at the end that we could always add a second floor to our one-story house, so we could work together again. I would recommend Doug without reservation for any building project. He is the absolutely best, the epitome of the perfect project manager, a true professional, and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty when he needs to lend a hand.

SkyWest Builders built us a 1250 square foot master suite addition with a kitchenette. Doug was always accessible during the process and we always felt included in the team like atmosphere. And he finished 2 weeks early!

Doug Marsh and crew are miracle workers. We had popcorn ceilings and they were falling in places. Doug and crew came into our house, moved necessary furniture, covered and taped it well and did a fabulous job of the new ceilings throughout the entire house.
We wanted our old kitchen and bathroom cabinets painted. No problem. They painted them off white with a soft brown rubbed accent. They are gorgeous.
Put in a new bathroom heater/vent/light. Had to cut a hole in the roof because of new code. Great job.
Fireplace had come cracks in grout plus was dirty since it was built in the 80's. He re-grouted what was necessary, cleaned the stones and it looks new.
Wanted crown molding in the master bath. They did a perfect job.
Anything we sprung on him, he was gracious and had a price for it by the next day and it was handled and done without a hitch.
Doug and team are professionals who care about how the finished product looks.
Their work is of the finest quality.
I recommend him as the best contractor that you can find anywhere!

SkyWest Builders took over a "remodel gone horribly wrong" and turned the entire experience from a nightmare to a dream. Doug, the owner, is so professional as are all the folks that work for him. We have used him for small projects since the remodel and he continues to impress! We have also referred SkyWest to many of our friends and family and all have been equally impressed! I would recommend SkyWest without any hesitation. You will be glad you called!
