Thank you so much to the man on the phone! I walked into our new place and it was a wtf scenario. These guys couldn't make it out today, but they walked me through what I needed to do to get my stovetop in running order and gave me advice regarding my thermostat, to get me through until they'd be able to come out, if the phone advice didn't prove successful. Major thank you for that!!!

I had the pleasure of hiring Don for my house remodel right after purchase to put up as a rental.

The project is actually still in process and in it's last stages of wrapping up.

This review is focused on a very important aspect of how valuable Don has been for me.

I currently live in Seattle(recently moved from Austin) and purchased a property in Austin. After engaging Don after finding him on Yelp -he was very responsive on his scheduling process - the guy is in high demand and he's usually scheduled couple of months out.

If you put down a small $50 intent fee, he will slot you into his schedule and move you up as spaces open.

Let me start off by saying that putting your trust into an all around contractor while doing a project completely remote from the other side of the country is a huge daunting and complex task.

Don first met with me while i was in Austin for the initial meeting and i sent him a to do list of everything i needed from my purchase inspection and a few things i wanted to get done without any inclination of budget.

After getting on his schedule and work commenced, he went through my check list line by line to make sure all of the top priorities were done and always gave suggestions on what he thought was necessary vs not necessary and where you can get the most value installing something that is utility vs decoration or a combination of both.

Fast forward to today and i'm 90% completed - i cut him checks incrementally during the project phase so he could pay his crew on time - to put your trust into a contractor while doing this remotely and actually having quality work done right, and extremely competitively priced is a life saver.

Don's knowledge is on the level of those guys on PBS "this old house" that i always watched as a kid and he over explains everything he does and why he's doing it while being extremely concise without adding any fluff.

Unless you are using friends you trust - Don's really the best yelp alternative for an all inclusive contractor/handyman you can find and put your trust into.

If you're a business developer or investor and need properties updated to code and remodeled while you're away on business - you can't go wrong!

In our 35 years of living in Austin, my husband and I have gone through a lot of handymen. I have to say that Don Fenton is the most professional and knowledgeable handyman we've ever had the privilege of knowing. On his first trip to our house, we had a few small things that needed repair along with one big job, and we expected him to just come by and give us an estimate. Instead, he showed up with two guys and they knocked out all the small stuff in a couple of hours. When I expressed surprise, he said "Oh, I always travel with my crew ... it saves time." I'll say! The guys with him were just as nice as he was, and they all cleaned up after themselves so you couldn't tell they'd been there.

The big job was repair of a patio cover, and he said he didn't have time to do that right away but that he would call us when he did. This is a story we've heard many times, and most of the time that's the last we hear from a workman. But Don did call, a few weeks later, and set up a time for the job. This one turned out to be a much bigger job than any of us realized, because as they got into it they found more rotted wood and other problems. The guys who first put it up had done a very cheap job, taking many shortcuts, and nothing was to spec. Don and his team wound up taking the whole thing down and starting over, building us a beautiful new patio cover with the right degree of slope and proper insulation, etc. They also discovered some rotted wood and damaged flashing around the chimney, which they fixed at the same time. It was a joy to watch them work, as it always is when people take pride in their work and do it well. When we were standing in the back yard talking with Don, surveying the finished product, one of his guys was going around the yard looking for and collecting every small piece of debris that had fallen in the grass, saying he didn't want anyone's mower to hit something. I didn't even notice until after they left that they had also cleaned the patio!

I can't imagine calling anyone else now for our home repair needs. If we have to wait a while, I know he'll call and that the wait (and the price) will be worth it. That's a great feeling.

Excellent Service.. Don and his crew come when they said they would, did a very professional job and treated my house with the utmost care. They are meticulous to every detail from start to finish. They are extremely polite and went the extra mile to make sure that I was extremely satisfied with their work. They are flexible and were even able to do several small jobs that I needed done even though they were not on my original list. They left my house spotless in the areas where they worked. I have already referred Don to my neighbor and son because of his outstanding work. Don and his crew get the very highest rating from my husband and me.

Mr. Done Right is awesome. He is incredibly skilled and completes jobs big and small around my fixer-upper home better than I ever expect him to. In fact, there is nothing that he hasn't been able to fix for me. He is meticulous, incredibly professional, timely, and works very, very hard. Moreover, he is very honest and gives me straight forward answers to my questions, as well as suggesting various ways to address issues. He listens to me, offers his opinion, but always listens to what I say after giving me the available options.

I am completely comfortable having Don in my home, and feel very fortunate to have found such a great person for helping me with my house projects.
