My first experience with Mark Austin Building and Remodeling was with the overhaul of our kitchen. Their outstanding eye for a balanced look along with a thorough knowledge of products in the market place helped my wife get the kitchen she was looking for.
A couple years later, we needed to address some maintenance issues on the exterior of our home. Because of our first experience, I went back to Austin. Mark suggested that we might enhance the curb appeal of our home greatly with a few cosmetic changes that could be made during this maintenance project.
Austin's artistic eye and quality of work is second to none. They were up front and honest with me. I totally recommend them.

This contractor built an in-law appartment that was over 1,300 sq. ft onto my home which included a kitchen, living room, sunroom, bedroom, covered back and front proches and a full bathroom with walk in closets and a very large crawlspace for storage.
Contractor was on time, kept to a schedule, checked on the subcontractors everyday and paid very close attention to detail.
This contractor treated me like I was the boss and what I wanted he provided but nicely provided professional experience when he saw something that should have been done in a different way and I washappy I took his advice. Everytime I had a question he responded immediately and never let me hanging. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Mark Austin Building added an addition to our home, did extensive exterior remodeling on the existing structure and completed the interior on the addition as well as an existing family room and office.
My profession involves working closely with local builders and remodeling contractors and the quality of workmanship equals or exceeds anything I have seen in this major market. They also have a great vision for the finished project and mane numerous suggestions and changes throughout the project that greatly enhanced the finished product.
Equally important, the crews were professional, courteous and clean. I heartily recommend these guys for any construction or remodeling project.

Mark Austin and his team built our original house back in 1991/1992 when he was just cutting his teeth as an independent contractor. We were building our first (and only) house and he had been recommended by a friend of ours. After seeing some of Mark’s work, we decided to put him on our bid list. He worked from our “blue print” (made from a $50.00 software package - - -DOS based so you know it was basic), gave us a price and won the bid. He wasn’t the lowest bidder, but the craftsmanship we saw in his work more than made up for the price difference.
Seven months later we were in our house. Nineteen years later and we still love it! Mark stayed true to the plans in material and detail, offering several modification suggestions which we are glad we accepted.
In 2010 when we wanted to add a sunroom to the house, there was no question on who would do the construction. For this project we had no firm plans. In fact, we couldn’t figure how to tie an addition onto the existing structure without it looking like a “tack on”. Mark came up with a terrific solution which met our needs architecturally as well as our budget. We’re thrilled with the outcome, inside and out. On both projects he was attentive to our wishes and easy to work with. We’d recommend Mark Austin Building to anyone looking for a contractor who is serious about the quality of his projects.

In 2010, our neighborhood got hit by a horrible hail storm. Mark Austin Builders and Remodeling replaced the siding, fascias, and window trim on our house, and did an incredible job. Their attention to detail and superior workmanship (even in places where it will be covered) is outstanding. Our house now looks better than new!
We also had them build a deck and screened porch. We had an unusual roof configuration and the design that Mark came up with is fabulous! It looks like an integral part of the house, not just an addition.
Al, Brad, and Josh did a fantastic job. They are extremely conscientious, hard working, talented craftsmen whose workmanship is first rate, qualities that you don’t often find these days. We love our screened porch! Mark Austin Builders and Remodeling….you guys are the best!
