QuarterLab Design Build

Quarter Lab has been incredible to work with! They maintain a great quality of work and have been very detailed. Stan and Oliver are always on top of things and do a great job of translating ideas to reality, all while keeping things organized and making sure everyone is well informed and fully understands the scope of a project. I highly recommend using Quarter Lab for any design and build projects. If you want great craftsmanship and execution, you can put your faith in Quarter Lab!

Stan and his team were great. Stan kept us informed at every development and discovery in remodeling out 1950's era house. Every time there was a decision to be made, he made sure we had the information we needed to pick the path that was right for us. The folks at QuarterLab that we worked with from design to site management to carpentry (they do carpentry in-house and the results are fantastic from custom built-ins we helped design to standard cabinetry), everyone was invested in offering suggestions and guidance while letting us make the final call. Even after months of being in the new space, I routinely walk into our common areas and smile and sigh because the space is so right for how we like to use it. And our kitchen routinely gets compliments from guests and coworkers who are now getting glimpses of our home on video calls. Working with Stan and the QuarterLab team was a delight and we would absolutely work with them again on future projects like this.

Stan Hajost and his crew at QuarterLab Design were phenomenal. It's fitting that the word "design" is in their company name because their design of our ADU was brilliant and beautiful; from the high ceilings & natural lighting to the amazing tiled shower and bathroom to the murphy bed that folds into the wall and the fully-functional kitchen with marble tops, the unit came out well above expectations. The feedback from all renters has been extremely positive too! My wife and I couldn't be more pleased. If you're building new in Austin, you should be working with Stan and QuarterLab Design!

The crew at Quarterlab shows tremendous attention to detail and sets very high quality standards for everyone who works with them on any project, regardless of size. Stan and his team are extremely professional and knowledgeable of every aspect of residential construction. One of the hurdles within the construction industry is time management and the coordination of build schedules for all trades involved in a project. Quarterlab manages these schedules accurately without losing focus on presenting the best finished product to their clients. Any project I’ve worked on with Quarterlab, if an unexpected issue presented itself (inevitable in a remodel) Stan promptly addressed the problem, and had a clear game plan to correct those issues within 24 hours. This team can work serious magic on a renovation! I would not hesitate to hire them to help bring a vision into reality.

I hired Quarter Lab for an emergency repair on my 1940's bungalow in East Austin. A three-car collision happened at the intersection closest to my house and a car rolled onto the front of my house causing damage to the framing, foundation, siding, and drywall. Stan's crew at Quarterlab were there the next day with an emergency permit making repairs. I was very happy with the final results and even hired Quarterlab again to install a new fence at the same property. I highly recommend Quarterlab for their quality of work, professionalism and great communication.

Bathroom remodel which included moving wall, replacement of old plumping & electical, installation new tile, vanity, toilet, claw foot tub land light fixtures, ship lap walls and insulation. Work was done professionally with good communication during each stage of project with required city permits and inspections. Very happy with the remodel and recommended!

Stan and the QuarterLab Design Build team were some of the most professional, organized builders I've ever worked with. Honestly, I don't want to work with anyone else moving forward... QuarterLab does excellent work, on time, with great communication, and with kindness - things you hardly ever find from builders today.

After following QuarterLab Design’s Instagram and seeing the exciting and excellent rehabs they were doing, we decided that we had to have them for our next project. Our newly purchased home was not only in need of a complete renovation, but also a couple of new configurations (bathroom entrances and enlargements). Quarterlab Design’s work ethic is second to none. We were on a tight timeline and Stan and Aaron made sure that we made that deadline; even when it came down to working holidays, working late, and working weekends. Demolition was done as we were meeting with Stan and Ali to look over ideas for design and layout. As demolition was finished we were already decided on how we wanted to proceed thanks to their ideas and input. Starting with our freshly gutted home, Stan and Aaron quickly began the structural work to allow for two new bathroom entrances and complete bathroom redo. As plumbing was moved, framework went up quickly to get the bathrooms started. Re-purposed Broyhill Brasilia dresser was installed as a perfect vanity in one bathroom, while a re-purposed locker with handmade shelving was installed in the other. New concrete floor throughout and more custom cabinetry from Quarterlab’s woodworking shop was installed for the kitchen. And finally the piece de resistance, the handcrafted wooden slat ceiling for the kitchen. Quarterlab’s attention to detail coupled with an eye for design transformed our house into a mid-century dream home worthy of a magazine spread. The amazing part of it all was that it was completed on a very short timeline (approximately 8 weeks) with near daily communication from Stan and Aaron on progress. I am very happy to have worked with Stan and Aaron and cannot express how pleased we were with the final product. We will surely use them again for any future projects.

I'm one of the owners of the Baby Ruth project which you can see in the portfolio. We found Stan and QuarterLab through a local mid-century group and knew immediately that we'd be a good fit for each other. Stan has a natural intuition for this aesthetic and was incredibly easy to work with throughout the process. I felt that he and his team excelled in every aspect of their work. Communication was always clear and concise; we always felt that we were in the loop. Build quality was/is outstanding, particularly at the price point (not cheap, but significantly cheaper than other contemporaries in town doing this type of work). Subs were well-vetted and professional; we always felt like we were getting the right people for the job at a fair price. All in all, great people doing great work at a solid price. We're planning a bump-out in a few years and they'll be the first call we make.

Stan and his crew rebuilt my 1000 sq ft home that was built in the 1920s. The amount of work that was done in a two month period was staggering in my eyes, with his crew often working weekends and staying late into the night to get everything accomplished by our required move-in date. Stan's electrical sub-contractor was also amazing, again working late into the night in the heat of August. What started as a bathroom remodel changed into a tear down to studs after suspect 1920s construction methods were uncovered. Asbestos removed, walls, ceilings, and floors reinforced, shiplap re-purposed to beautiful ends, new tile, tub, and a window installed in the bathroom - it was a big undertaking. QuarterLab Design handled it easily and they've got a customer for life. Stan and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with!

I have hired this group for several small home remodeling projects. I am most impressed with their attention to detail and meticulous work. Every project has been reasonably priced and impeccably executed. My home is a 1920’s bungalow so any work on it can have unexpected findings. They always manage to have creative solutions and completed projects on time with awesome results. I could not recommend them more highly....5 stars!!!

I have now had Stan and his crew out to my place on 3 different projects. I trust the work to be done right and enjoy how professional and planned out the work is. It's hard to find a GC that really has the entire package.
