Rudy and his team exceeded my expectations with our landscaping and deck. I found Rudy to be very honest, authentic and genuine when reviewing the estimate of the project.

Rudy helped me create a vision for the yard and gave me options on materials to add my own creativity. The team worked quickly and efficiently while being very respectful of my property. Altogether, a job extremely well done.

Rudy and his guys did an amazing job with my tub to shower conversion. I had been wanting to have this done for a long time but had no idea who to turn to until an acquaintance told me about Rudy. The experience was wonderful and the result is awesome.

The team worked quickly, and with skill and attention to detail.
Bottom line: I would highly recommend Rudy and his company for outstanding and friendly service at a very fair price.

Words cannot come to say, describe nor explain the amazing experience I’ve had with 1626 Construction Company!

The staff and the fundamental contractor to customer relationship that Rudy provided both myself, and my family was absolutely amazing! Sincerely, I was in desperate need of a kitchen redo, and these “small redos” are not cheep as we all know. One thing comes up, that leads to absolutely having to change everything! I then was recommended by my next door neighbor over to Rudy with 1626 Construction.

We spoke and we acknowledged my situation, that was I had a very small budget, and a kitchen in desperate need of a fix up .. Rudy contacted his crew that evening to come take a look! They then put my kitchen in the books for the works! Ohh! I am so very happy 1626 construction worked so diligently, so prideful, very respectful mannered, and patiently.

They were a blast! And we’re able to pull off a magnificent kitchen! I will always come to them for any touch up, any remodeling or advice I need in the future, and I would definitely, recommend to you as well.

Thank you Rudy and 1626 Construction Company you all are very much appreciated!

I came to find Rudy and 1626 Construction Company due to the terrible weather affects on my yard.

I was looking for a more LOW maintenance, amplified & detailed exterior in order to be able to maintain it.

Rudy was capable to envision a minimalistic yet very accentuated xeriscape exterior design!! I enjoy doing less work on my yard whilst looking awesome!!

Thank you 1626 Construction!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! See you for our next project, and so should you guys

We are extremely pleased with the work Rudy and crew did!
They helped us develop our basic idea for porcelin tiling our high rise fireplace. Then provided the skilled labor and material to make it happen.

They showed up on time, and completed the job when they said they would. When we uncovered some previously unknown challenges during the process, they worked through them efficiently.

Rudy, Walker, Rigo and the guys are great to work with.
We have already used 1626 for other projects and plan to continue using them going forward!!
Couldn't be happier with their work.

I will recommend Rudy and his team over and over again to anyone who wants good quality work done on their home or garden - he prices fairly, he’s a pleasure to work with, and him and his guys work so incredibly hard everyday. I think the good test of whether you would recommend someone is whether you’d recommend them to do work on your Mom’s house - and I most certainly would!

We got connected with Rudy through a referral from a friend, who had her kitchen remodelled with Rudy & his crew. Upon meeting, we instantly knew he would be a good ‘chemistry’ fit for us - he’s open, collaborative, and a friendly and humble man. Following some less than great meetings with other GCs, Rudy immediately put us at ease and was more than accommodating to give us pricing quickly, and answer any questions we had. Once we agreed to go ahead with our bathroom and kitchen remodel with him, demo was underway within a week and a half (we were incredibly lucky there!).

From day one, Rudy was on site each day, checking in with his crew to ensure their quality of work was up to his (and our) standards. He was communicative, sending regular text updates, and he was always happy to answer any questions we had along the way. His crew are incredibly timely, arriving on time every single day and working through to 5, sometimes 6 to get the work done for the day. Even our neighbours commented that they were impressed by the crew so we made sure they got Rudy’s business card too!

Nothing was too big a problem for Rudy - when we had a few broken or late deliveries of parts and appliances, he was super accommodating and adjusted the schedule to make sure that we still kept momentum and were able to finish the full project in the six week timeline we had agreed.
It’s always hard when you’re having work done on your house, and living in it at the same time but it couldn’t have gone smoother - and Rudy will always be my go to guy for any future projects.

1626 Construction was such a pleasure to work with! We were previously working with a landscaping company for a plunge pool installation (pre-fab concrete pool) here in Austin, as well as, revamping our backyard to surround the pool. The previous landscaping company was dragging their feet, not following through, so we decided to change direction and hire a different company -- enter 1626 Construction. What a great decision! Rudy and his team were exactly what we needed to restore confidence in our project.

The guys were punctual every morning and started working first thing. From observing them, you can tell they take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of their work. We had 1626 build a new limestone retaining wall, install a new 8' fence, sod the yard, install the plunge pool, level-up and rock/paver the area surrounding the pool, weld a built-in metal planter box, and build a metal "mini" retaining wall to hold the rock and gravel in place from our sloping yard.
I love the results!

Rudy and his team stayed true to the timeline of the project (of course weather delays can happen) - we felt excited every week to see the progress. We also enjoyed having an overall estimate of the cost to start the project, then be invoiced weekly to pay for the progression ... It keeps all parties moving in the right direction, and working together.

I have friends who are wanting some landscaping help, I will 100% recommend 1626 Construction to them AND will use them again as we need projects done at our home. It's refreshing to say this was a pleasant experience!.

Our experience with 1626 Construction was outstanding from start to finish!

From the initial consultation with Rudy, we felt we were in good hands.
His crew is friendly, thorough & very capable. They were also very respectful in our home. They cleaned up well each day. Since we lived in our home during the remodel, we greatly appreciated this.

Rudy completely changed our primary bathroom..moved a wall…built a closet…added a window in another room and renovated our guest bathroom shower. We love everything! Communication was superb throughout the entire project.

1626 Construction did a great job for us and we are so glad we chose them to do our remodel.

As a repeat client, I can confidently say that Rudy and his Team are not like other contractors — they are always on time, very responsive and attentive to questions, work extremely hard, are competitively priced, and are respectful of your family, time, and property.

After exceeding expectations during a remodel of our kitchen and master bathroom, we hired Rudy and his Team to landscape our backyard by creating a DG pad for a stock tank pool, laying concrete slab pavers for a walkway and patio, and installing brick border between gravel and the yard.
Proving themselves again, Rudy and his Team timely transformed our backyard into an inviting and usable space for our family and friends.

When we first met Rudy, he emphasized and promised that he would be personally involved in answering our questions and supervising the project. And he delivered on those promises on multiple projects. It was a pleasure working with Rudy again, and there is no question that we emphatically recommend 1626 Construction to anyone.

This is the third time Rudy and his crew have done work at our home. They finished within budget and earlier than promised! Rudy is very good at communication.

His crew is very professional and respectful of property.

We highly recommend 1626 Construction and will definitely call them again for any future projects at our home.

I would recommend Rudy and his team to anyone looking to get a job done.

We put in an outdoor deck and screened in porch and we couldn't be happier.
The team communicated frequently and clearly throughout the entire process.

We also appreciated their guidance and flexibility during the build phase when we were unsure with the design that we had put forth.

Rudy's team worked quickly, but the final outcome was not rushed. We are super happy spending time on our back patio now. 10/10, would highly recommend this company.

So thrilled about the crew at 1626 Construction!

They completed a complete renovation of our primary bathroom along with installing subway tile and a farmhouse sink in our kitchen.
And can I just say how much I love everything! The crew was friendly, professional, tidy, timely, and respectful. I only wish we had found them sooner for previous home projects.

I would absolutely recommend them and with out a doubt call on them again for future projects!!
Many thanks.

Rudy and the 1626 team were everything I could ask for in a contractor.

We completed an extensive renovation of 2 bathrooms, kitchen (with skylight), master bedroom, and master closet with full demolition and some structural work.

The work was high quality, and everything turned out even better then we envisioned. Our house is now a home.

Rudy was extremely responsive and transparent, I received each week's itemized invoice promptly the following week without a single error over 16 weeks.
Like any project we had some surprises and rework, but they were immediately brought to my attention and solved quickly and cost effectively.

I would confidently recommend 1626 to any of my friends and family.

About Us

Rudy Lopez, is the Owner/operator of 1626 Construction & Landscaping. He learned the building trades at young age as a laborer/apprentice for a well-known company in Las Vegas, NV at the beginning of the year 2000.

After 5 years of learning different areas of the residential construction, he moved to Austin and started working for a masonry company in West Austin. After a few years in the trade, his knowledge, skills and abilities motivated him to become an independent contractor working in both areas: commercial and residential.

Unfortunately, the recession in 2008, strike the construction business, especially the small business. After a short time staying afloat, he took the position as a Senior Estimator for an Austin-based commercial & residential construction company.

Over the next few years, he worked closely with a talented team of Architects, Designers and tradespeople to successfully produce high quality renovations, commercial construction and custom-made homes, many of which are award winning and industry recognized in Central Texas.  During that time, he was also involved with the building permits and processes, honing his fluency with the ever-evolving Austin building permit and plan review process.

With over 20 years of experience, skills and knowledge, he decided one more time to take a leap of faith and become a general contractor in 2021 with the mission to build high quality renovations and construction through a personalized and transparent process. Just the way construction should be!
