  Had a blast teaming up with Skelly Build on our fort for Fortlandia at the Wildflower Center this year. Sean, Josh and the crew kept everyone organized from the first meeting at their shop all the way through delivery and install, and they were quick to work through problems as they came up. Communication was clear the whole way, and the fort came out really fun and solid. I'd happily work with these folks again!

  We hired Skelly in March of 2024 to do an extensive renovation and addition to our 1970's ranch-style home. Ultimately, we went from a one-story 4/2.5 home that was roughly 2500ft² to a two-story 5/5.5 home that is roughly 3800ft². This utilized our existing foundation with a few small additions and added a second story over roughly half of our existing footprint. It was close to building a new home.<br><br>We are extremely pleased with our home as well as with the entire Skelly experience. I would say that Skelly is a premium builder and the price will be on the upper end, but you are also going to get a premium customer service experience and first-rate quality build as a result. Similar to buying a luxury car, you know you are paying more, but you also know that you are going to have a better sales experience, be treated better during your service visits, and not get yanked around and nickeled and dimed. I felt the same way about working with Skelly.<br><br>They built my house in almost exactly a year, which I think was impressive given the scope of the job. We rented in the neighborhood, so we had a lot of oversight of the work being done. They were here every day, often late into the evenings and often on weekends. You often hear about jobs stalling and people wondering why nothing is happening. I never felt that way. We also opted for a full-time superintendent on our job, which was a material additional cost, but also gave us a bit more of a white-glove customer service experience and was also intended to expedite the work as a superintendent could correct a subcontractor error on the spot as opposed to days later.<br><br>One impressive aspect about the Skelly experience was that I was always able to get in touch with either my superintendent(s), the project supervisor (Greg), or their boss and the head of operations, Josh. Any time I had any questions or issues, I could text any of them and get a quick answer. I never felt like I was imposing on them, and I always felt they wanted to do the right thing. This is another great reason for paying a bit more for a premium user experience. Too often, I hear about the building process being adversarial between the homeowner and the general contractor. I did not want to be paying this much money for a headache. We had very few issues during the build, but any time that I did have something I was not pleased with, it was addressed immediately and to my satisfaction. I never felt yanked around or that they were prioritizing their bottom line over my satisfaction. I never felt like I could not get in touch with a decision maker who could give me the answers I needed or who could remedy any situation quickly.<br><br>I've waited over a year to write this review, because the build came with a one-year warranty, and I wanted to wait and see how that played out before I left feedback. We had a few things, mostly sheet rock related, we wanted them to come back and look at as well as one spot in the house that appeared to not be fully insulated from the attic. I gave them a list of all of the warranty work, and they arranged to work on the house while we were on vacation to limit interference in our daily life. This bled a little past the one year mark, but Skelly's priority was delivering a first-class product. We returned from our family vacation to a home that had been worked on and everything was fixed to my satisfaction.<br><br>We have recommended Skelly to countless others, and I believe several of them have opted to work with them. I recommend them whole-heartedly if you are looking for a premium product with first-class customer service.

  We had an excellent experience with Skelly Build from start to finish. The entire renovation process was easy, seamless, and truly turnkey. We had an idea to enclose our patio, and the Skelly team helped turn that vision into reality.<br><br>Our project manager, Andrew, was amazing to work with. He kept us informed every step of the way, from our initial client meeting and scheduling through final completion. The Skelly team also checked in regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly throughout our renovation in Austin.<br><br>All of the project partners did an excellent job, arrived on time, and thoroughly cleaned up after completing their work. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Skelly Build to anyone in the Austin area considering a home improvement project!

Skelly Build FAQs

• Is Skelly Build licensed, and what awards does it list?

  Skelly Build does not print a licence number on the pages we read, and Texas has no state licence for residential general contractors. Its website shows NARI and BBB badges and an awards page that lists 2026 NARI regional awards and a 2026 Home Builders Association Remodeler of the Year award. Ask who pulls the City of Austin permit, and check electrical, plumbing and HVAC subcontractors on the TDLR licence lookup.

• What are Skelly Build's office hours and address?

  Skelly Build is at 4315 S Congress Avenue, #116, Austin, TX 78745, and Google lists it as open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and closed on weekends. The phone number is (512) 956-0445 and the email on its contact page is letsbuild@skellybuild.com. Plan weekday visits and call first.

• What kind of projects does Skelly Build take on?

  Skelly Build builds custom homes, additions and remodels, including condos, historic homes, kitchens and bathrooms, and it also does commercial construction. It runs its own cabinetry and millwork shop, Skelly Built, and describes a fixed-price process carried out by specialized internal teams. It often works with architects and interior designers, so ask early how the design handoff works and what the written scope covers.

• Is Skelly Build licensed and insured?

  We checked 0 of 3 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

• What areas does Skelly Build serve?

  Austin. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

• Does Skelly Build offer emergency service?

  Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

• What warranty do they offer?

  Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

• How was this profile built?

  Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

• Can a business pay to improve its profile?

  A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
