FAQ, Austin, TX

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about estimates, pricing, timelines, credentials, and how we work. If your question isn't here, call us at (512) 883-0430 and we'll answer it.

Bids & pricing

Do you offer free bids?
Yes. Every bid is free and there's no obligation. Send us the plans or a scope summary and you'll have a written, itemized bid within one business day.
How do you price a job?
We price by scope and square footage, factoring in board type, ceiling height, and access. You get an itemized bid up front with quantities you can check, so there are no vague ranges and no line items that appear later.
Do you require a deposit?
On larger jobs we usually take a deposit to reserve the schedule and cover materials, with the balance billed against progress as the work is completed. Whatever the terms, we put them in writing before any work starts.

Timeline & process

How soon can you start?
It depends on our current schedule and the size of the scope. We reply to every request within one business day and can often mobilize quickly. You'll get a firm timeline along with your bid.
How does the process work?
It's three steps. First you send us the plans or scope by phone or email. Then we send a written, itemized bid within one business day. Once it's approved, our crew shows up on the scheduled day and works in sequence with your other trades.
Will the building stay usable during the work?
Yes, wherever the schedule allows. We seal off the work area with dust barriers, protect the floors and the HVAC returns, and clean up at the end of each day, so the rest of the building can keep operating.

Credentials & guarantees

Are you insured?
Yes. Martinez Professional Construction carries full liability insurance, and we're glad to provide a certificate of insurance on request. Texas does not require a state license for this trade, so we carry insurance rather than a license.
Do you guarantee your work?
We do. We aren't finished until our scope meets both our standard and yours, which means the punch list is cleared and the details are right before we hand off to the next trade.
Do you pull permits or do inspections?
No. We don't pull permits or perform inspections ourselves, so the general contractor or owner keeps those. We build our scope to code so it's ready for the inspection they schedule.

Services & service area

What areas do you serve?
Austin and the surrounding Central Texas communities, including Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and Lakeway. See our Service Areas page for the full list.
Do you take residential jobs?
No. We are a commercial subcontractor and only take commercial work: tenant improvements, buildouts, and interior packages for general contractors and property owners. Send plans through our For Builders page.
What if we only have a small scope?
No job is too small. A single demising wall, a ceiling grid for one suite, or blocking for a build-out, we bid it with the same free bid and the same standard of work as a large package.
