Testimonials

“Kudos to Jeff Vassaur of McKay Vassaur Total Construction for the awesome job that he and his crew did on the rebuilding of our family home. The demolishing and rebuilding was completed in a timely manner. We were kept informed from the pouring of the foundation to the last nail being hammered. The home we have now we could have never imagined how beautiful it would be both inside and outside. We have received so many compliments on the house from friends and neighbors it gives us great pride to show it off. McKay Vassar Total Construction, you rock!!!”

~ Washington Family

“Thank you for doing a great job on our covered patio project. Your professionalism from the start was appreciated and your honesty and forthrightness were refreshing. We are thrilled with the finished product; it looks like it was part of the house from the beginning. Thank you too for the way you handled the hiccups that occurred during the project. When one footer got poured in the wrong location you said you’d make it right and you did. When the gutter downspouts appeared where they weren’t supposed to be you took care of that too. Looking good and being a man of your word is easy when a project goes perfectly. Its when things don’t go according to plan (which seems to happen a lot in life and construction!) that you see the true character come through. Yours came through shining and intact-that is a real blessing to us. I won’t hesitate to have you bid on future projects and have already recommended you to several friends who have seen the before and after first hand and are as impressed as we are.”

~ Chad Moore

“As an owner of Artisan Properties, LLC, my partner and I were in desperate need of a reputable builder with quality subcontractors to handle the complete demolition and rebuild of an investment property we purchased at 2405 Lawnmont Drive in Shoal Creek that was originally built in the late 1970′s. We tore our property down to the ground, added an addition to the slab, and rebuilt everything else from the ground up, including framing, electrical, plumbing, flooring, sheetrock, interior/exterior paint and all aspects of finish out. Jeff was a true professional throughout and without his direction and excellent connections with high quality and responsive subcontractors we would have been in serious trouble. Jeff oversaw all the work and completed the project on time. The combination of our solid design and Jeff’s wonderful execution of the build helped us to sell our $500,000 home in about 45 days. I would strongly recommend Jeff for any home building or renovation project, no matter how big or small.”

~ Jake Carsten Owner – Artisan Properties, LLC

“I wanted to send you the info on a General contractor for your referral directory. His name is Jeff Vassaur. He is the owner at McKay Vassaur Total Construction. He is a “stand up” guy and runs a great business. I have worked with him in the past and would give his name out to anyone looking for a contractor. His job scope is small to large. Decks, room additions, bathroom/kitchen remodels, outdoor patios and everything in between. Again, as a former contractor I would not hesitate to have Jeff do any work for me or for anyone I know.”

~ Aaron Mickan

“When I came home today, the guys had just finished the wainscoting and painting – I LOVE IT! It’s absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted – even better than I envisioned. Your crew was professional, respectful, and skilled – it’s so comforting working with you because we know we will get exceptional service and a completed job beyond our expectations. I can’t wait to see the wood floors – the room will be incredible with that final touch! I will definitely recommend you to everyone we know and I can’t wait to have more things done in the future.”

~ Christa Rivera

“The Wheeler family highly recommends McKay Vassaur Total Construction for any project you may be planning. They have completed 3 projects for our family. The projects completed include a patio addition, porch addition and a sidewalk running the length of our house and connecting to the back patio. We love to spend time outside and really love the work they have done. We will definitely use McKay Vassaur Total Construction again for any future projects.”

~ The Wheeler Family

“I am new to Austin and did not know where to begin to find a reputable and honest contractor. Jeff was recommended to me by a co-worker and I knew from our first meeting that I had found the right man for the job. Although my master bath remodel was not large in size it was a complete demolition and all of the plumbing had to be moved which involved quite a bit of jackhammering so it was a large job in scope. All of the people from McKay Vassaur (MV) and their sub-contractors were easy to work with and reliable. I had to move into the home prior to completion of the project but every day the MV team made sure that everything was cleaned up before I returned home from work in the evenings. The job was completed timely and Jeff and Eric went above and beyond to please me and my OCD tendencies! They made what could have been a stressful project seamless and enjoyable. I will not hesitate to contact MV for my next project and highly recommend them to any and all looking for a reliable and honest contractor. It was truly a pleasure working with Jeff, Eric and the rest of the MV team.”

“I’ve worked with Jeff and Mckay Vassaur Custom Builders for many years now. Jeff is always prompt to respond and has excellent communication skills and ideas to work things out when needed. I’m a realtor, and I enjoy taking my clients to him for an interview and to talk about building their dream homes. He is able to set expectations well and guide them through the process masterfully. He has helped me and my clients with extensive remodel projects and custom build homes. I’ve also sold many spec homes that he has built, and they have all inspected well and the buyers continue to be happy clients to this day. When I need help with getting a bid or analyzing an inspection report for my clients, Jeff has always given me the best perspective that helps me serve my clients well during the home buying process. He is a solid builder and person to call for all of your home building and remodeling needs.”

~ Laura Ivy Blessing

“I would recommend Jeff in a heartbeat! He is so very good, and he seems to know the very best people who specialize in whatever fields they are in. Jeff was our contractor on our kitchen, floor tile, lighting, and many other things two years ago. We absolutely love the finished project. In fact, we just had him over last Friday to give estimates on replacing tile surrounds in 2 baths, tile floors in one bath and our utility room, replacement lighting in our kitchen (we didn’t think of that when we remodeled it), and other things. Jeff makes sure things are kept clean, his granite guy was an artist who absolutely loves his granite work, he had a guy who refinished our bottom cabinets, and they EXACTLY match the top ones, and there are so many things I can’t remember. I do know he was excellent on our last project, and am confident he will be on any job. That is just the way he is.”

~ Eileen F. Steinle

“My wife and I have been speaking with Jeff, the owner, for over a year and a half working through planning, ideas, and and asking every question we could think of when building a home. Let me start by first saying that Jeff and his organization are world class! We spoke to and toured every home builder in the area, even speaking with builders from outside of the CTX area, and let me tell you that the quality of our home, the speed in Jeff’s ability to answer questions, solve problems, and his knowledge have not only been amazing but truly a blessing to our family. His pride and attention to detail shines through every portion of our home. From start to finish, and even small things needing to be taken care of through warranty have been absolutely seamless. Probably one of the hardest things we dealt with when speaking to other builders was them taking the time to actually listen to what we were looking for, this is not the case with Jeff. He addressed all of our questions leaving zero doubts in our mind that we were always aligned. Jeff is undoubtedly one of the kindest, honest, and transparent people we have met, and his team is truly amazing. You would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not contacting McKay Vassaur Custom Builders for your home build or remodel. Thank you, Jeff, for building our dream home and making us feel like family from day one!”

~ The Garzas

“After relocating to Texas from Minnesota, I was in search of a well-built house that I could call home. The house that Jeff and his crew built was absolutely head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. I am not only happy with the completed house, I really appreciate that Jeff insured to mature Oaks on the lot were saved. I’ve lived in my home for six months now and I truly love it! I felt comfortable working with Jeff right from the start. He has been knowledgeable, dependable, honest and respectable to name a few. I recommend Jeff for any construction projects be that big or small.”

~ Jacqueline Gabbert

“Jeff is the ultimate professional and his team did a fantastic job! Jeff remodeled a bathroom for us on a rental property that we have in Zilker Park. I knew Jeff was a professional from our first meeting. He was very good about keeping us updated from the beginning to the end of the project. The tile work looks amazing, his team was clean and they worked very quickly. Our project was done in a timely manner and on budget. I would recommend anyone to use McKay Vassaur Total Construction. Your project will not only look great..it will de done very well! We will be using McKay Vassaur Total Construction in the future. Thanks, Jeff!”

~ Cindy and Bryan Finnegan

“Three months living in our new McKay Vassaur custom home and I love going to it more and more every day!!! Haven’t had a single person not in awe of the design and build quality, and even the neighbors have “thanked” us for building such an aesthetically pleasing house...couldn’t be happier.”

~ Andy Reardon

“We can’t say enough great things about Jeff and McKay Vassaur Custom Builders! They made the construction process smooth. Jeff is very professional, has great communication, great relationships with his subs and builds a great product! We couldn’t be happier with our project! We would definitely use McKay Vassaur again!”

~ Nicole Schmalz

“We had a great experience working with Mckay Vassaur. All details of our project were handled from moving irrigation, carpentry, masonry, roofing, electric, inspections, permits, etc. They even helped gather information needed for HOA approval. We enjoyed working with Jeff and feel he went above and beyond – especially during the uncertainty of the pandemic Jeff was transparent and communicative. We look forward to future projects! Thanks Jeff and team!”

~ Sam Skorcz

“We built a custom 750-square-foot pool house with McKay Vassaur Custom Builders. Our criteria were to match the pool house to the existing main structure and blend the new building into the landscape and pool area. Jeff Vassaur helped us take an idea and a dirt backyard, turning it into a dream mother’s suite. The team at McKay Vassaur helped us navigate design, permitting, material selection, and the construction process. Jeff was always there to keep us informed and provide innovative solutions to the obstacles that occur throughout any construction process. We have designed and built several homes, but McKay Vassaur is the best builder we have ever worked with. Jeff and his team are the best because they are available, communicative, professional, and produce an amazing product. Thank you, McKay Vassaur, and thank you, Jeff.”

~ Tyler Smith

“My husband and I recently purchased a home built by McKay Vassaur Custom Builders and couldn’t be happier. The home has many thoughtful design choices as well as items built for functionality, which we really appreciate. Jeff Vassaur was a pleasure to work with from the first day we met him. He gave us the option to make some changes even though the house was fully planned out and almost complete. We really appreciated that and felt like that showed that Jeff truly cares about not only the houses he builds but also the families that will live in those houses. All in all, the entire experience was a breeze and enjoyable and I am confident that any future home buyer will have the same experience that we did.”

~ Kimberly Marquez

“From the get-go, we had a stellar experience with Jeff Vassaur. During our introductory meeting, he spent as much time as we needed talking with us about the house and answered all of our questions. Professional, trustworthy, communication is constant and the workmanship is great. You know that your builder is of excellent character when you reach out to him after you have closed on the home, and the level of service does not falter. We’ve reached out to Jeff with a couple questions and issues, and he has responded immediately, reached out to subs or vendors as necessary, and had the repairs completed. The subs completed flawless repairs and were always very professional. Needless to say, McKay Vassaur is the first choice for our future project!”
