Stonecrest Custom Homes, Inc.

Don and Dave Debate did an excellent job on our addition. They had one contractor or another there from the start date to the end date. Very professional, very accommodating, very efficient. Really, an excellent project. I can't imagine it going any better.

We purchased a home at the end of 2014 that needed extensive remodel work. We had worked with Don Debate on a couple of small projects and requested that he take a look at the new project and work up some ideas and quote. The project initially started small; however, it continued to expand as we discovered additional issues with the home. By the time the remodel was complete, more than 50% of the home had been changed and included numerous outdoor projects as well. My wife and I are both very happy to have chosen Don @ Stonecrest Custom Homes. He was honest in his assessment of the work needed, used quality sub-contractors and kept us appraised of the work throughout the process. Would be happy to recommend Don and the Stonecrest Team to anyone thinking of a home project.

Your search for the perfect home remodel contractor is over! After agonizing over reviews like this and interviewing several contractors, we elected to go with Stonecrest Custom Homes for our complete home remodel. Don Debate is incredible. His knowledge, experience, customer service, attitude, attention to detail, professionalism, and downright humble disposition are just a sampling of the reasons why your search for a truly outstanding contractor should be over. I have dealt with more contractors over the years than I care to remember but dealing with Don and Stronecrest was nothing short of a perfect experience.

What an amazing transformation!!! I bought a foreclosure through HUD in Canyon Lake in April 2017 -- and I had the good fortune of meeting Don Debate through my family who lived in the same area where I was looking to buy – they had seen his work at another address close by, met him, and asked him if he’d come by and take a look while we took another look at the property, prior to my purchasing it…….the rest is history! I immediately had the strong vibes that this was the person to use for updating and remodeling this “internal disaster” of a foreclosure. Upon close of escrow, I decided to use Don and his company to renovate and bring my new home into the 21st century! Don’s foresight, ideas, and suggestions brought what I lovingly referred to as “a dump” to a beautiful, updated, trendy home that is now my forever place! It required renovating every square inch of the entire interior – all the walls were textured, crown and base moldings were added; new flooring, new window casings as needed, new closet and hallway doors, etc. He created a complete new kitchen where the ceiling was raised, then appointed the space with Shaker cabinets, quartz counters and marble tile backsplash……every little detail throughout the entire home was covered down to the fans and placement of lights! The little hole in the wall that was a “fireplace” in the family room area was renovated to transform into a gorgeous stacked rough stone with a mantle, complete with shiplap on the top and it became the focal point of the home as you walked in the front door. The ensuite for the master bedroom was reconfigured to make more floor space, then done in all marble, with Shaker cabinetry, beautiful light fixtures, etc….it now invokes the feeling of being a five-star spa! Each room in the entire house was redone to completion – but what was even one unexpected surprise? I had the garage floor epoxied – Don then had the walls all textured, painted, new lighting, new attic ladder, and then added beautiful baseboards around the bottom!!! He utilized material that was already available, and I then had another great “room” that may house a car, but is, in its own right, another “great room”! I can’t recommend Don highly enough. His crews, each and every one, were top-notch. They all worked together seamlessly – one trade would follow the other with no down time – the coordination and timing of work done was extraordinary! These workmen (and women) are all to be commended. They were on time, each and every day. They cleaned up every single day before they left, and one would always come to the door and say they were leaving, and did I need anything moved, put back, etc. Just a courtesy, but it was so nice to know that they were done for the day, could let my dogs out, leave, etc. There were never any communication issues, either with Don or with anyone else on the job – Don was easy to get in touch with, either by text or phone – he always responded and got back to me quickly if I had any questions. He was also very cognizant of my budget, and worked with me to find cost-saving solutions, ideas, substitutions, etc., allowing me to do a few extras that I otherwise would not have been able to afford. Again, his eye and attention to detail not only saved me money, but gave me some beautiful additional décor accents. In closing, it was a beautiful experience – redoing a complete house was a major undertaking, but working with Don and Stonecrest Homes made it stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Don Debate and his company Stonecrest!

We found Stonecrest on Houzz and selected them for a complete remodel in Canyon Lake. Don and David were phenomenal. Don provided excellent guidance and helped us create a vision of possibilities we hadn't imagined. Together they worked hands-on to see every detail was completed within the aggressive 3 month schedule. We just completed the project and the results are amazing as you can see by the before and after pictures below. Selecting a contractor to remodel or build your home requires a lot of trust. Hiring Stonecrest was like having our brothers take on the job. Don and David are honest and talented professionals who we highly recommend.

I am a local swimming pool builder and I have used Stonecrest on many jobs from patio covers and decks to pool houses for the passed 10 years. I have found them to be easy to work with and dependable and professional to refer to a client, they have the experience and knowledge to bid and build the job properly as well as being on site with the crews and for inspections.

Like the header states: Excellent job...highest recommendation. My wife and I have owned a handful of homes due to several relocations; including a rental property. I have also worked in the residential construction industry in a past life, so I have some familiarity to the construction process. A trusting neighbor referred Stonecrest to me and my wife and after comparing their Scope of Work to a competing contractor we elected to hire Stonecrest. The process could not have been better. Plans were drawn up and submitted to the city which received approval the same day. The construction began within the following couple of weeks. What first stood out to me was the emphasis Stonecrest placed on keeping my home in as clean and tidy a condition as possible. Without it being communicated, Stonecrest obviously understood that this major remodel--though being a "construction zone," was to be conducted in someone's occupied home. During the several weeks of construction, every contractor that performed their specific job never left my home without cleaning up after themselves, or sweeping up dust, etc. We hired Stonecrest to transform our cathedral ceiling area into an upstairs bedroom; as well as expand our base-level 1/2-bath to include a walk-in shower. I would joke with Don about my never seeing him lift a hammer, but this speaks highly of the trust he places in his subcontractors. It can be argued that a contractor is only as good as their sub-contractors...and from Stonecrest's framers, electricians, HV/AC crew, and concrete cutting to their plumbers, tile-setters and perhaps especially their sheet-rock hanging team...truly, Stonecrest employs some of the best sub-contractors I have ever worked with...and I have worked with many specific to the 6 properties my wife and I have owned over the years. Additionally, Don and Dave never failed to promptly and appropriately communicate with me directly in whatever means necessary to assure my confidences on every phase of the construction. A simple, yet greatly appreciated method was an advanced, simple text message to remind me which subcontractor would be showing up and most importantly--at WHAT TIME! The sub-contractors were punctual to a fault. How rare is that? If an unforeseen delay occurred, Don always kept me abreast of the situation. Like many families...we're busy people, and Don's excellent and frequent communication helped us mitigate the many facets of the entire construction project. Finally, Don was on-site when needed to communicate between myself and any given contractor the precise manner in which specific construction details were to be completed. New electrical outlet locations; which way a new door was to swing, or whether to included non-standard features per my instructions, etc., were discussed and carried out accordingly. There were easily a dozen or more custom features that I requested of Don and Dave that were never previously discussed or included on the plans which without pushback whatsoever were considered and included where appropriate. The Stonecrest experience exceeded my expectations and my wife and I couldn't be more pleased. We have had many of our friends and guests visit our home where their number one remark is, "You would never know you completed these additions to your home... it's as if the improvements always existed from the original construction." ** Our project was completed in a timely fashion. ** Our home was kept clean at the end of the day ** Communication was first rate ** Stonecrest came in UNDER budget! Best decision we've made in a long, long time!

Where do you start when you're thrilled with EVERYTHING about your bathroom remodel? Don demonstrated his knowledge and understanding from design to implementation. He was always available to answer questions and to make sure my vision was being executed and making sure we had a timeless bathroom.

Stonecrest remodeled our kitchen and master bath at the same. Amazingly, the completed both projects in 19 working days and under budget. My wife and I thought we would be without a kitchen for a minimum of six weeks, but we were back in a fully-functionally kitchen 27 days after the project was started. The same was true for the master bath. The success of this project was due to the way Stonecrest coordinated the sub contractors and the way they completed their part of the project, all efficiently and with the highest of quality in mind. My wife and I happily and eagerly give Stonecrest Custom Homes our highest recommendation.

Stonecrest did an awesome job on my home remodel. We added a 500 sq ft addition to our home and did many other complete house improvements and upgrades such as roofing, heating & air conditioning, flooring, siding and windows. Don and David paid close attention to details and helped us with so many of the decisions that need to be made during this process. The subcontractors they worked with and brought onto the work site were great to work with and Stonecrest made sure the project ran according to the schedule. We have been so happy with the outcome. Our plain tract home now stands out in the neighborhood with the appearance of a custom built home and turned out even better than we imagined.

We hired Don to replace 2 old Marvin wood windows. This was a huge job as the windows were very large. We required carpentry and stucco work, as well as ordering the windows and lifting them into place in the wall. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always timely in keeping appointments and promises. His subcontractors did excellent work and knew just how to proceed to get the job done.

They turned our vaulted ceiling into the best loft ever. Every neighbor that looks at what they did for us couldn't believe it wasn't the way the house was originally designed. 7 years later and it is still the best thing we have done to our house. Kerry Fisher
