Where Alpha Construction Is The Better Call
- Your house is outside Austin's central neighborhoods. Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Buda and Kyle are on our service list, and our permitting answer names those jurisdictions one by one. New Creations lists Austin neighborhoods along with Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, Lakeway, Bee Cave and Dripping Springs.
- You want the design carried inside the build. Our design and planning phase comes first and every selection is settled before we break ground, on a bathroom remodel as much as on a custom home. New Creations' process FAQ states that its design phase is billed separately.
- You want a call back on a clock. Every call is returned within two hours during business hours. That is a commitment on our About page, not a goal, and every project is photo-documented from start to finish.
- Your project is a ground-up home or a commercial space. We build custom homes and take tenant finish-outs and interior build-outs for office, retail and service businesses. New Creations lists kitchens, bathrooms, whole home renovation and design-build remodeling.
- You want a veteran-owned contractor. Alpha Construction is veteran-owned and operated, based in Austin, a NARI award winner and BBB accredited.
Both companies design and build remodels in Austin, and both hand you an itemized scope before a contract. If your house sits in the suburbs, or you want the design folded into the build and a two-hour call return on a project of any size, call us and we will put a scope and a price in writing.
