TESTIMONIALS
“When it came time to find a general contractor for our new coffee shop we were pretty lost and generally intimidated. We had been told the horror stories that other business owners had had and how we would no doubt have many disagreements and issues with whomever we chose. We nearly signed with the first company we spoke with even though they were not a good personality fit and we would be their smallest customer. We also talked with companies in which we would be there biggest customer. Luckily, before we were able to make a bad decision out of desperation, we were referred to Chase at Albany Construction. Immediately we noticed a difference between Chase and everyone else we had spoken with. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and confident in him. He took the time and really listened to our needs and desires with the shop. The fact that he had worked on coffee shops before was a big plus and all of the other projects we saw from him were beautiful and well-executed. He called us back the day after our initial meeting after driving a good distance to check out our location, a sign of real interest and desire to handle our job that no one else had bothered to do. After meeting again and working up some designs we were ready to start. He not only had offered us the best customer service and technical expertise so far but his price came out to be the most aggressive as well. Chase gave us a firm timeframe and a detailed calendar of when to expect each phase of construction to be completed. Not only was all work done within the timeframe he told us, he also added some of our requests that came up later without any extra charge. After completion, he and his crew came back to help us with decorating and final touches. He still stays in touch and visits our shop frequently. We constantly get feedback from our customers on what a nice job they did. Meeting Chase and Albany Construction was a bit of good luck and we would not have been able to do this without them. To say we highly recommend them would be an understatement.” - Cambrian Coffee
“We hired Albany Studio to rebuild on our lot after flooding during Hurricane Harvey. After speaking with several design/build firms, we felt strongly that Chase and Su were the ones we wanted to work with. They were kind, flexible, asked us questions about what we wanted, and were willing to salvage as much as possible from our flooded house and so easy to work with. Over the next 18 months, from design to financing to construction they remained as we expected. Chase handled the actual construction, which took about 13 months. We have built before and we can attest that the quality of the work was excellent. All of the tradespeople we spoke with told us, unsolicited, how much they enjoy working for Chase and on Albany Studio projects. The final house is beautiful and just what we wanted. There are some really innovative aspects of the house and it really brings the outside in, which is what we wanted. We were able to preserve and highlight two huge oak trees on our lot and we love looking at them from many different views and angles. Given what a stressful time it was to build post-Harvey, I can't say enough about Chase and his team - their kindness, skill and talent. We love our home!” - Gairloch Residence
“Albany Studio did a fantastic job with our space. We enjoyed working with them on both the design and construction for our restaurant build out. Having one point of contact simplified the process for us, because we did not have to go back and forth between the designer and builder since they did both for us.” - Genki Poke
“...from the early design phase, to architectural renderings, and the engineering of the architectural renderings, Albany Studios team provided clear communication of the building completion process. We would and will recommend Chase Stanley, and the Albany Studios team to anyone looking for a custom designed residence or commercial space.” - Jim Kanan / Marian Luntz
“I had a good experience with Albany Studio. We remodeled an old metal warehouse into an office space gallery. They were creative at helping achieve the look I wanted to give to the building and were very professional.” - Jack Rabbit Gallery
“It has been a great pleasure to work with Albany Studio on the design and construction of our new home. Forced into this project by Hurricane Harvey, Albany has made every phase as streamlined as possible. After deciding that demolishing our flooded home and building a new one would be our path forward, we met with Albany to discuss the concept and vision of this undertaking. It was amazing how, after our conversations, Albany translated our discussions into a beautiful 2-story, 4 bedroom, 3,500 sq. ft. open design that we fell in love with from the beginning. Thanks to their computer graphic simulation, we have been able to envision what our new home will look like and feel like. We can only say good things about Albany and its staff members. They have been incredible to work with and are always accessible and responsive to our inquiries and requests. They have done a fantastic job of keeping us in the loop on timetables for construction phases and anticipated issues. They have made recommendations for finishes and colors that exactly align with our taste. We wholeheartedly recommend Albany Studio for design through construction of a new home.” - Dumfries Residence
“Our contractor recommended Albany Studios after we ran into delays with our first architect. From their creative solutions to our unique lot, to their timely completion of the design phases, to their availability and quick communication throughout the process, my wife and I would have no hesitations in recommending Chase, Deigo, Paul and the team of Albany Studios. Special Kudos as they were able to send us off for the holidays with plans and drawings that we could share with our family during the time together. Thanks Albany Studios!” - Daniel Reinhold
“The firm has done a number of small jobs for us over the last two years. We couldn't be more pleased. The principal, Chase, is reliable and creative and the work has always been of a high quality.” - Mark Langston
“Albany Studio (Chase specifically) was referred to me in early October. I had interviewed several contractors to ‘gut’’, clean, remediate for mild, and totally reconstruct 2500 square feet (floor to ceiling) after Harvey. I stopped interviewing after meeting Chase and hired him and Albany Studio.He is incredibly professional, organized, detail oriented, and a great service to value ratio.We made a plan, he finished on time. Starting with the floorplan he designed, we worked together to get exactly what I wanted. I trusted him to pick finishes, hardware, and paint color placement. We did the entire reconstruct long distance. I spent a couple of weeks in Houston at the end of the job, met everyone, supervised the finishing details and punch list. He does what he says he will do and when he says he will. This sadly, is not easy to find in a contractor these days. And very importantly, there were no overcharges. We paid what we agreed initially.The subs he uses are great. Everyone is polite, neat & tidy, and very very good at what they do.The end result is a place we we rebuilt to ‘sell’ and are now keeping. I would use him again in a heartbeat and refer him only to people who would truly appreciate his fine work! My family and I now consider Chase and his family friends!Bravo Chase & Albany Studio!” - danielle6223
