We purchased a beautiful, charming old house/cabin out in the Western Hill Country which was originally designed and hand-built in the 1960s by an architect to use as his weekend place. Being purpose-built as a weekend place, the house was lacking in modern amenities like HVAC and insulation -- and the plumbing, electrical, and pretty much everything else in the house was well over over 40 years old. Everything in the house needed to be replaced.
We hired DeLeon Carpentry & Renovation to come in and do a MASSIVE renovation & upgrade to the house. Jorge DeLeon and his team did a really great job, and they were total professionals at every turn. They do great work, with attention to detail and eye for making everything look good. We wanted to do as much as we could to keep the original charm of the house that attracted us to it in the first place, and they offered good advice when we needed it, and they were happy to help us turn our oddball ideas into a beautiful finished product.
Just some of the work they did on the house: all new electric, all new plumbing, new HVAC, remodeled kitchen & bathroom, new cabinets and storage, foam insulation, all new trim, remodeled front porch and installed back deck, several new piers, and they brought the very old beat up floors back to life and made them beautiful. In addition to the work on the house, Jorge and his crew built us a little pavilion, built retaining walls and reinforced them with limestone butter sticks, and expanded the pump house. All the work was first-rate, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results.
If you're in the Utopia/Vanderpool/Leakey/Concan/Camp Wood area, or parts South and West, and you need renovation work, or a new build, or pretty much any kind of construction work that you could think of, De Leon Carpentry & Renovation can definitely help you out, and I'm happy to recommend them.
