This is a top notch professional builder. I highly recommend working with them. Their other company built my home and I posted to the wrong place.

A Good trading platform service I can truly trust. They are transparent on all transactions and explain everything clearly. I never had fear and i am confident in trading with them. They have given me so many great opportunities to earn better profits. I am glad to have traded with the right broker. I gain good profit and received my withdrawals earlier than expected date. Good brokerage platform. I'm happy to work with MRS KIRKLAND TINA, this probably was the best choice

Tony, Steve, Andrew and their team are more than amazing. We have a specialty custom home that my wife and I designed over the last 30 years - truly our "forever home". It is complex and definitely a challenge. They have taken the challenge head on, helping in every way possible and some that I thought might be impossible. Anything we want, they provide. They do it at quality and with amazing craftsmanship. If you are looking for something special and what we think is the best home builder around, LOOK NO FURTHER. You have found the perfect partner.

Best business decision ever. Less than a year ago my wife and I purchased a beautiful piece of property on the Blanco river to build our retirement home. We started looking at builders and finally narrowed our choice to two firms, both with excellent reviews. One typically builds homes about the size we were looking for and was known as a reputable green builder. The other was Zbranek and Holt. In full disclosure, we were concerned with their amazing reputation for building large spectacular homes.

I was afraid that at 2275 sq/ft and while very but nice by no means extravagant, our 'little' home might not get focus the attention to detail from them that we might get from the 'little guy'. After several discussions with Steve Zbranek he resolved our concerns and we decided to go with Z&H. As I previously said; Best decision ever. Building a home requires a close relationship for an extended time with lots of trust in your builder.

In retrospect, I've never had a professional relationship with a business that was more focused on making sure every detail was done right and consistently exceeding my expectations. In addition, working with Tony Holt and the staff at Z&H during the last year has been a real pleasure. They are truly nice people. In the next few weeks we will be moving into our river house and we will always be thankful to Tony, Steve and the rest at Zbranek and Holt for building what truly is our dream home. Thank You!

We really enjoyed working with Zbranick and Holt Custom Homes. They far exceeded our expectations. The communication and follow up was excellent! They started our home the first of May and we moved in before Christmas. Thanks to the whole team for a job well done!

I've visited 1000's homes in the Texas hill country and this was by far the nicest! And it's on the river! The house is elevated high enough to ensure safety during flooding and has a solid foundation. Tony and his team built an amazing deck to take in the views as well as a one of a kind stairway to get down to the river and take a dip. There are a ton of windows to let in light and also enjoy the scenery from inside. The metal roof is a nice touch that looks great and is built to last. I highly recommend Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes for anyone concerned about craftsmanship and quality!

The craftsmanship and detail that was put into our home is exquisite. Much of that detail was not in the plans, but was added as we went. Z&H's flexibility in making changes and additions was much appreciated. Some of the changes were actually suggested by Z&H. The result was a contemporary Texas rustic, complete with a touch of whimsical corrugated tin, barn wood and belt-driven ceiling fans and a splash of Spanish influence, a wonderful mixture of eclectic beauty and utility, of warmth and welcome!

We give them four stars instead of five as schedules were always slipping. In their defense, it was hard to plan for the many additions we made. In the end, it was time well spent. The pictures will speak for themselves when they are published!

Austin Wood Works, Inc. has had the privilege of providing custom cabinetry for Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes. It has been a great experience working with Steve, Tony and the entire team.

Steve and Tony have worked hard to provide quality custom homes in the area and pay close attention to their clients needs. The work they provide is beautiful and meticulous. I would highly recommend them if you are pursuing your dream home.

Phenomenal team of professionals. Can't beat this experience with a custom home builder. Most builders can take your plans and build you a house. But this exceptional team took my visions and built me something better. Zbranek & Holt is the "go to" for luxury lake, ranch, or airpark homes.

As a professional real estate photographer, I have worked with Zbranek and Holt Custom Homes for nearly 5 years. During this time I have been able to see more than a dozen of their incredible homes at completion. I am constantly astonished by the level of craftsmanship that each home displays from Mediterranean to Contemporary there is not a detail left untouched. Each home is completely different and delivers on the vision of every individual client.

I have done photo shoots for many realtors and seen many homes throughout the Austin area, the Zbranek and Holt Custom Homes team is truly a top notch luxury custom builder. The quality craftsmanship is evident in every home I have seen. I've had the opportunity to meet many of their clients and consistently hear first-hand about how much they love their homes and enjoyed building with Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes.

Their clients tell me repeatedly about how the Zbranek & Holt team listened to their vision, delivered on the creation of their dream home and made the building process fun! That's not something I hear a lot from other homeowners I meet. I highly recommend Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes to anyone looking to build a luxury upscale custom home in the Austin or Horseshoe Bay area. Eric Hull, Real Estate Photographer
