Contractor - carpentry, remodeling, building

I know that it is hard to just pick someone out of the phone book when you are looking to get some work done on your house. You never know who/what is going to show up! Unless you get a recommendation from a friend, you are really at sea. This usually means that new folks to the neighborhood are really left scratching their heads.

Here is a recommendation for a contractor that is a true craftsman... He's done (major) work for me before - remodeled my kitchen, and he's here again, doing his usual perfect job replacing the (old moth-eaten) cedar siding on our home with hardi-plank.

RB Company 335-0309

The owner/operator is Rick Ballard. He generally works alone or with a helper. I have no reservations whatever in recommending him for anything from redoing siding to building an entire house (which he is capable of doing, and has done a few around Austin and even further out.) In fact, when we move from here to our final retirement destination, I am going to have him come (to wherever that is) and build our house - with me as his helper.

While he may not be inexpensive, you get what you pay for with Rick - high quality workmanship and fair and honest treatment.
