Review from Sandeep P.
Austin, TX

For years we've been interested in upgrading the countertops that we inherited from the previous owner. We first went to Home Depot just to see the variety of options available for new countertops. Once we settled on Silestone I called up a few places based on their Yelp reviews to give us estimates.
In the end, we went with Austin's Custom Tops. Their estimate wasn't the lowest but they seemed to have a vibe and mindset of doing quality work. It came through in the process of getting an estimate and later on as we got closer. We worked with Shaun to get estimates, see samples and plan the installation. Nathan did the installation and did a great job removing the old countertops (but was able to keep our old backsplash in place without damaging it!) and putting the new ones in.
Were very happy with their work and would happily recommend them. -
Review from Dr. Dan B.

I'm remodeling my condo, top to bottom, and trying to do it "on a dime". As anyone who's done this can tell you, countertops tend to be one of your bigger expenditures in a remodel job, unless you go with a cheap laminate.
Since my place is going to be clean & modern, I decided on a white quartz countertop (stronger & harder than granite, less porous, doesn't need sealing, gorgeous!). Silestone is the leader in quartz countertops & usually more expensive, but I found Austin's Custom Tops on Craigslist, and they quoted me cheaper than some of the other "off-brands" of quartz tops.
AND... that included my 1.5 inch edge, sink cut-out AND the sink itself! Hell of a deal.
Was a little sketchy about using a Craigslist contractor, but these guys were consummate professionals from the get-go. Picking up the phone on the first ring, emailing replies promptly, helpful website and very courteous & friendly.
Install went perfectly, on time & looks GREAT! Lovin' my new kitchen! Highly recommend Shaun and his crew. Thanks, guys! -

My intent for this review is very much like what Dr. Dan wrote, so I'll say "read his review" (dated 11/4/2009). Especially about the professionalism. But our experience differs in a few ways:
We wanted a recycled product, so we chose Eco by Cosentino. It looks fantastic and has similar characteristics to Silestone.
Also, we had an unusual set-up: two separate sinks in the corner of the kitchen but one pivoting faucet. This required a "key joint" seam in that area, which the installer, Nathan, suggested and executed flawlessly. The seam is invisible.
A few weeks after the install, we had a near tragedy when a pen on the island countertop leaked a lot of ink. Despite quick wipe up, the surface appeared to be indelibly and very visibly stained. We contacted Shaun, he provided a few potential remedies, but the first two we tried did not work. After a few days, he and Nathan came to the house and Nathan was able to remove the stain entirely!
So we highly recommend this company for their price, project execution and service. -

We were looking to update our counter tops with granite and Austin's Custom Tops provided an excellent selection in Sensa stone. We selected Cosmos Brown to go with our light color cabinets, and it looks great. Austin's Custom Tops provided small samples of each stone, but it is difficult to get a feel for how it will eventually look. I recommend going to the yard to look at the full size slates.
Shaun Hrncir provided top service by scheduling a quick appointment, showing up on time, and providing a competitive quote on the same day. Once the stone was selected, Shaun arranged to have the top manufactured and installed within 2 weeks. The cut and and fit are perfect and we are satisfied clients. I recommend giving Austin's Custom Tops a call when gathering quotes. -

I have never written a review before...however, the experience that I had with this company was awesome & I had to share. A friend told me about this company so I called them up. From the very first time I called them they were nothing but professional. When they came out to do a free measure, I was taken back because of the clean-cut look with collard shirts , polite & very knowledgeable...I know this might sound petty..but I have dealt with a lot of contractors in my time & it was a breath of fresh air to work with the High Calibre People that these folks are. They always got back to me when they said they would. The installation went perfect & on time! My countertops look amazing & the were less expensive than the 3 other quotes I got---But to be honset, with the customer service & zero problems that this company provided..I would have paid more--you cannot find that a lot these days in this profession & peace of mind goes a long ways for me. .I recommend this company!! Also, if you are still hesitant like I was--they sent me a list of references & they all had nothing but great things to say!! Thanks Austin's Custom Tops!!

History
Established in 2007
Austin natives and co-owners, Eric Riley and Shaun Hrncir, founded their company, amidst a waning economy, in an effort to aid homeowners and builders to save money while making a positive impact on the environment. With only a small number of other companies offering green products in Texas, Austin's Custom Tops has proven to be a pioneer in the industry with their new product; ECO™ by Cosentino countertop.
Spurred by their love of nature and the outdoors, Riley and Hrncir have been active in the environmental community, participating in groups such as the Sierra Club and the American Consumer Council. In an effort to preserve their beliefs when opening their business, both owners have looked for high quality products that are environmentally friendly.
Austin's Custom Tops is a full service countertop company specializing in residential and commercial installation, with a portfolio ranging from a downtown loft to Army Barracks.
Meet the Business Owner: Shaun H.
After being in the corporate world for 12 years, this opportunity presented itself to me and I jumped in with both feet. Owning your own business is very exciting and risky at the same time but the people I have around me make it very rewarding. Our installers have been in the business over 10 years and their experience along with attention to detail are first class and they are truely the best in the business.
Being located in Austin, I wanted to make sure we offered high quality products but also helped protect the environment. All of our products have been certified by GreenGuard, NSF and the US Green Building Council. This allows us to provide our clients with a safer and cleaner product!
Finally, back in my college days, I helped build homes and ran a landscaping business. I believe this has helped me appreciate the value of a home and to make sure we offer our clients a great product at a reasonable price while ensuring the job is done right the first time.
