As an Architect, I'm always on the lookout for General Contractors who do quality work at reasonable prices. Bill and I have worked on 5 to 6 projects over the last decade-plus. The scope has ranged from spec houses through home remodels and large custom homes. Bill and his crew have exhibited a consistently high standard of workmanship and have always treated our mutual clients in a courteous and professional manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bill to anyone contemplating a residential-scale project.
I've worked with Bill several times and have always found him to be a true professional. He's a good communicator, and he does what he says he'll do. He brings extensive knowledge of construction techniques and materials, including a great deal of attention to up-to-date green building techniques. Bill is also excellent at staying within a budget, and this is a skill not to be undervalued! Highly recommended.
After a neighbor's vehicle broke through the wall of my house, I was very concerned that the restoration would not be obvious, especially with regard to the outside masonry since the home is 10 years old, and that the quality inside and outside would be good. Bill Taute did an excellent job, and the pattern and color of the masonry were matched so well that the repair is not at all detectable. The interior was also completely restored in an excellent manner. The subcontractors always showed up as scheduled. Bill was great to work with, always explained what was going to be done, and made what started out as a very unnerving experience much less stressful.
I contracted with Bill Taute to build an upscale open barn on my property using higher-end materials. In addition to the structure, the job included installing a slab, roadway, and limestone retaining walls. He helped me come up with a good design and completed the job in a very reasonable time frame, considering its distance outside of Austin.
