Who does a good setup in Houston these days? Not a fan of Ron Pace or Danny D's. I usually do my own but I just can't get my Carvin to feel right.

Thats my main gripe. | Ok, nut work isnt something I can do well confidently. Though I'm good at personalizing action setup for truss rod, bridge saddles, shim for necks on bolt ons that need it, and such. Though I am kinda surprised you got a bass from carvin where nut wasnt filed right. Bummer.

I usually go to Neil,tho Jim's done a bit of my work.
Huey over at Fuller's is another option. All should be able to do the work.
