Catalyst Construction, Inc

Catalyst Construction did an incredible job on our home remodel! They added on 400 square feet of space (an office, expanded living room, and covered back patio) and updated the existing house with new floors, ceilings, dry wall, skylights, lighting, doors, and hardware, AND worked with UB Kitchens to put together a spectacular new kitchen for us. Our Project Manager, Jess Jackson, and the rest of the Catalyst team went above and beyond for us. This huge project was completed on time and far exceeded our expectations. All of the subcontractors did beautiful work and kept the job site clean and well organized. Nate and Jess posted detailed photos and updates to our Buildertrend site throughout the project, which made it so easy to be kept in the loop while living off-site. Jess helped us through all of the many decisions that had to be made along the way--she was an invaluable resource and looked out for us every step of the way. Jason Box, the owner, was also wonderful and runs an honest and transparent business. We are so grateful to have found them and give them our highest recommendation. They are a highly knowledgeable and skilled team doing excellent work efficiently.

We hired Catalyst Construction for a primary bedroom remodel and we couldn’t be happier with the results and the team we worked with. Jess Jackson our project manager did a great job driving the project to completion in time for us to move back in before guests arrived for the holidays, and Jake and the rest of their crew did great work realizing our architect’s design while helping us manage costs. We’re thrilled with the results and would recommend them highly.

I really enjoyed working with my project manager, Stephanie, and my master bathroom and closet renovation looks great! We also updated two smaller bathrooms and some other minor updates throughout the house. I would use them again.

Very happy with the final result. Took longer than expected but looks great. Tile work was excellent. Some challenges but my project manager was very communicative and responsive and handled everything that came up.

We worked with Catalyst Construction over the past year on our kitchen remodel. What really stood out from the beginning is how responsive, helpful and transparent they were. Initially, we struggled to come up with our plan and the direction we wanted to go with our project. Natalie, Alex and team were extremely patient, kept coming up with solutions (and many adjusted quotes!) and really stood apart from anyone else we spoke with, which was ultimately why we decided to work with them. Our project manager Doug was great. He kept everything on track, made sure we were satisfied with the work and went above and beyond to fix anything that wasn't top notch. The subcontractors and rest of the Catalyst team working on our project were also very professional and solution oriented (Devon, UB Cabinets, etc.). We lived in our house during the project and were pleasantly surprised how quickly and smoothly the construction went. I would highly recommend Catalyst for remodeling and would use them again on a future project.

I had the pleasure of working with Catalyst Construction on several time-sensitive projects. Our Project Manager, Jess, took the time to understand our needs and helped us meet our deadlines and budget—without sacrificing quality. Their client portal is incredibly user-friendly, allowing real-time updates, calendar tracking, and visibility into any scheduling changes. Additionally, Catalyst was a great partner—easy to work with, receptive to new ideas, and quick to make adjustments as needed.

Just finish a bedroom and bathroom renovation with Catalyst Construction. I cannot speak highly enough about the experience we had. Jess Jackson, our project manager, worked seamlessly with her skilled craftsmen and our decorator, Beth Weldon, to create beautiful and functional rooms. Using the account they created on the BuilderTrend app, I able to monitor each day's work. The completed work is even better than I envisioned it would be. I am already planning another project for them...just don't tell my husband.

Catalyst Construction has recently completed a total renovation of a bathroom from floor to ceiling in our vacation home a 1000 miles away. We found this group incredibly responsive, creative in solving problem, and attentive to every detail of the project. Home improvement projects are difficult but especially at a distance. The two most important strengths were project management and willingness to deliver on our design concepts. The project met our personal time tables and to our tradesmen expectations. All there tradesmen were talented, hardworking and efficient. The project management kept well informed with daily updates and photos, always listening to our requests. We would certainly engage them again for other projects.

Catalyst construction did an incredible job on our master bath and closet renovation! Doug and his team were incredibly easy to work with, extremely accommodating, and delivered beyond our expectations. Our family looks forward to working with Catalyst on more home projects in the future!

We worked with Catalyst on a full kitchen renovation and had a really positive experience. Jess was our project manager and was great to work with—super responsive and kept things moving smoothly. The finished kitchen looks amazing, and we’re so happy with how it turned out. We did run into a few issues with subcontractors (probably par for the course, but it was our first major renovation so they caught us a bit off guard). That said, Catalyst always had our back. They stepped in quickly, addressed things in a timely way, and made sure everything got done right. We’d definitely recommend Catalyst (and Jess!) if you’re considering a renovation.

We had a great experience working with Catalyst Construction on our kitchen remodel! The project involved removing a wall to open up the space, updating all the electrical wiring and outlets, replacing outdated cabinets and countertops, installing new appliances, and even adding attic access—all with great attention to detail. They even respected that we needed to delay the project a month due to to unforeseen circumstances. UB Kitchens, the sub-contracted cabinet company, was fantastic to work with from start to finish. They made the selection process easy and ensured the final installation was flawless, with no dings or scratches. The designer, Joe, was incredible, the team was professional, and the overall craftsmanship was solid. One thing I really appreciated was how accommodating the team was while I worked from home during construction. They were mindful of noise levels when possible, and even with a toddler in the house at times, they made the process as smooth as it could be. While there were a few mixups that caused minor delays, the team handled them well, and we’re really happy with the end result. If you're looking for a team that does high-quality work and is easy to work with, we’d definitely recommend Catalyst Construction!

We hired Catalyst Construction to remodel our master bath in February of 2025 and couldn't be happier with the result! The entire process from the initial quote meeting through project completion was smooth. The quote/pricing was reasonable compared to others. The project manager was very communicative and diligent providing regular updates. They use the BuilderTrend website to provide project details, timelines, and photos, which was extremely helpful. We definitely recommend hiring Catalyst!

Really enjoyed working with Catalyst on our kitchen renovation. During our first meeting they caught important details that other contractors did not which were critical to our project. They completed the job on time, they communicated well, they were professional, and they came back to finish all our touch ups. Highly recommend.

This was my first experience using professional remodeling firm and we hired Catalyst Construction to remodel a small bathroom. We selected Catalyst Construction based on reviews, images of prior work, responsiveness and a fair and detailed quote. The process was easy and communications were good. We ended up with a pretty new bathroom as requested! We recommend Catalyst for your home remodel needs.

This was our first experience with remodeling a home and doing an addition, so we were very nervous about finding the right contractor. Catalyst Construction was recommended by our interior designer, and they turned out to be an excellent partner for this huge project! The project manager was professional, communicative, and accommodating throughout the duration of the work. As a mechanical engineer and former project manager myself, I was generally impressed by their attention to detail and willingness to work with us through design changes as the work progressed. The Catalyst team stayed on track and even pushed to complete final punch list items a few weeks ahead of schedule to allow our family to move in ahead of a deadline. For a project of this scale, it was exciting to see the final product start to appear after months of foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. In the end, I would say that the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. Catalyst brought our vision to reality and it has been a wonderful place to call home!

Catalyst Construction was recommended to us by our design team to help remodel our condo & we have had a wonderful experience with them! Our home is truly lovely! Our project was complex & the work involved a new kitchen, baths, built-in cabinets, flooring, tile & painting. Catalyst Construction's tradespeople were professional, reliable and left the workspace clean and tidy. Jess Jackson, the Project Manager, was responsive & provided detailed cost estimates for each task & for the project's overall time frame. Communication was great! She and her Team were also very respectful of my HOA's requirements regarding licenses, insurance & other compliance issues. Catalyst wants their customers to be satisfied & I highly recommend them.

Going with Catalyst Construction proved to be a great choice when remodeling our guest bathroom! The team excelled in the areas of communication, follow up and craftsmanship. At the start, Angie and Jason provided a prompt, detailed estimate. Doug, the project manager, kept us apprised of the work all along the way and was responsive whenever we had questions or suggestions. The various craftspeople carried out their specific tasks well. The bathroom looks great and the upgraded features stand out. We strongly recommend this outfit!

This was our first time using a remodeling company. We needed a bathtub replaced, the tile surround, and some water-damaged drywall in a closet. We looked at several companies and then chose Catalyst Construction. Our experience was great. Doug stayed in communication on every step and their client portal that had the schedule for each step of the way and photos before, during, and on completion helped everyone stay up to date. The tile job was excellent and the painting was a simple job but done to perfection. The plumber was very helpful in answering my questions about the process. I took my first shower in it today and am very pleased with every aspect of the job. The value was what we were looking for. The other companies we looked at were much more expensive and I did not feel they would be as professional as Catalyst. I will definitely use Catalyst Construction for all of our remodeling in the future. Highly recommend.

Doing a home reno is a big project. It's incredibly helpful and reassuring when you find a contractor you trust, and can count on. Catalyst did an excellent job on my kitchen and living room. Jake & Alex are dependable and great at advising and helping you through the process. Finding contractors like them is difficult. I love their attention to detail. I love that they are easy to talk to. They are honest and friendly. They follow up and checkin to make sure you are completely satisfied. I will call them back when I am ready to finish the rest of my house.

We did a kitchen remodel with Catalyst and highly recommend them. The project turned out great. We appreciated their attention to detail, clear explanation of timeline, and communication throughout the process. We would definitely consider them for any other projects we may have.

We used Catalyst to completely remodel both bathrooms to fix issues created by our former contractor and to change out all interior doors in our house. This was our third engagement with a contractor to do major work on our house, and Catalyst was BY FAR the most professional, organized, and transparent. I was most impressed by the team's attention to detail as I had high expectations with our bathroom redos (after only five years from a previous remodel). In addition to ensuring that all work was code-compliant, I was most particular about the tile work, which included terrazzo tile flooring, and the team exceeded my expectations. If I expressed any concern about an item, it was corrected quickly. I had a challenging time locating a contractor with transparent pricing, but with Catalyst's bid, I could see - line by line - the cost associated with each item, which I appreciated. Their pricing is fair for the quality of work that is delivered. Just a couple of months after finishing our bathrooms and doors, we rehired Catalyst to do some framing/drywall/paint work for our primary bedroom closet. We plan on using Catalyst for future house projects as they are very reliable, communicative, and responsive.

Catalyst recently completed a full home remodel and they did an outstanding job. I received 5 bids and theirs was by far the most detailed and thorough, ensuring that there were few surprises and their pricing was fair and competitive. The team was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the entire project. They stayed on time and made sure that everything was completed to our satisfaction. They really went above and beyond to give us a final product we are very proud of!

Alex and the whole Catalyst team were excellent throughout our semi-major renovation project. I'm extremely detail-oriented, and they exceed my expectations throughout the entire project. Highly recommend them.

We have used Catalyst Construction for 3 different home construction projects. Whether the project was large or small, they were always professional, on time, and communicative. The first project they did for us was a small remodel project - two bathroom updates. The second project was a complete house remodel, including demo, wall removal, and full kitchen replacement. The final project was a full house gut and remodel. They were always forthcoming with their progress, and in all three projects, they came in ahead of time and on budget. they were always available to us if we had a question and they were receptive when we gave critical feedback about a particular piece of work. I would highly recommend them for any home construction project, large or small.

I have worked in real estate and remodeled several commercial properties, and it was very important to me to choose a professional and ethical contractor to work on my personal home. If you want an honest and capable contractor, these are your people. The team at Catalyst met all of our expectations and more. From the bidding and planning stages, they did not cut a corner. They took the time to understand our project so that they could bid fair and accurately. They were neither the least nor the most expensive option, and we feel we got the very best value by having a competent contractor who also was mindful of cost. They were highly competitive and an excellent value for the quality of work provided. We feel our investment has paid for itself, and their expertise in bidding projects accurately is a huge reason that we were able to make smart and informed decisions. Catalyst is known to be reasonable and transparent with pricing and offered creative, cost saving options to stay in budget. Our remodel was quote extensive, and they also were spot on at predicting any potential extra charges so nothing was a surprise and we were fully aware of what to expect in terms of cost and timeline. Throughout the construction process, the team maintained excellent communication with us. They stayed true to the timeline and were accountable to everything that we had agreed upon. Their supervision and coordination of all the trades was on point, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. As with any construction project, hiccups happen but they tackled and resolved all of them with see and often before we were even aware of them. Things just seamlessly came together, although we know that was only because of their diligence and hands on management of the project. They made sure that everything was done right. They also were very considerate about my requests for a few add ons as we went through the process. The results are beautiful. They do GREAT, quality work… the best finishes and attention to detail that you could ask for. Most importantly though, the Catalyst team is honest and ethical. If you’ve been around construction for any amount of time, you know that a good and honest contractor is with their weight in gold. I trust them completely to do the job right and to protect my investment. I’ve referred them to my family and friends who have echoed my feelings about the quality of their work and integrity of their business. I’d recommend them most highly to anyone who is looking to do a large or smalller scale remodel of their home.

Being a first time home owner can be scary and figuring out which providers you can trust is hard. Catalyst Construction made the process easy. Alex and his team were great. They completed projects on time, were always available for questions, and helped us with any questions we had about the work being done. Not having a lot of DIY knowledge when it comes to house projects, we needed someone who could offer ideas and suggestions. We will definitely use Catalyst Construction again after the amazing job they did re-tiling our master bathroom shower.

Catalyst did some minor remodeling at my house and were very professional and great quality of work. I highly recommend them!

Catalyst Construction really impressed us with their exceptional service and personal touch during our recent home renovation project. They didn't just modernize our main and half bathrooms with impeccable craftsmanship; they also took great care of us, ensuring we were comfortable and informed throughout the process. The small electrical jobs around the house were handled with the same precision and attention to detail. It was evident that Catalyst values both the quality of their work and the satisfaction of their clients equally. Thanks Alex, Jess, and Jason - Y'all are gems.

I hired Catalyst to do a number of jobs around my house. They did excellent work remodeling my fireplace and kitchen as well as putting in new windows!! They were extremely helpful with ideas on how to make my new home look amazing. Catalyst was very fast to respond to any questions or concerns I had. I recommend them for any of your home projects!

This company is amazing! All of the experiences I have had with them I come out completely satisfied and well informed. I look forward to more projects with them in the future!

I couldn't be happier with Alex and his team at Catalyst Construction!! I recently bought a home in Austin that needed quite a bit of work. After meeting with a number of contractors, I finally had the pleasure of meeting Alex at Catalyst. Immediately I was pleased with his upfront honesty and willingness to help. I was a little nervous to work with a contractor initially, but Alex really helped bring ease to our minds. He suggested cost saving tips, explained everything in great detail, and had a ton of great construction knowledge that enabled the project to go smoothly. After receiving a fair bid, we ultimately decided to go with Catalyst. Throughout the entire process, Alex was transparent and communicated everything extremely well — I always felt that we were in great hands! He paid great attention to detail, which ultimately left us with a great finished product. I can not recommend these guys enough! We will be coming back for any future projects.

As a first time home owner here in Austin TX, Catalyst Construction was the perfect fit for our home project needs. Alex and his crew were very professional and exceeded all of our expectations. Knowing nothing about home improvement, I was really looking for someone to help make suggestions based on their experience/expertise. That is exactly what we received and we couldn't be happier!! I will definitely be using them for every project moving forward. Nothing they can't handle

Jake, Alex, Travis, Jason and the team were highly responsive, professional, and honest contractors. They brought in high-quality sub-contractors to complete a garage remodel and exterior update and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I had several custom requests that were troublesome, but the team spent time problem solving with me to achieve the results I was looking for. They went above and beyond to get me a new air conditioner when mine went out mid-project in the Texas July heat. Their HVAC crew was at my house until 11pm to make sure my family had AC that night! The team also went to bat for me and secured a refund for me when a vendor was extremely late with a door delivery. I would highly recommend them.

I hired Catalyst to gut and remodel my kitchen, living room, and master at the beginning of this year. I’m very pleased with the quality and professionalism Jason and Alex provide. Their communication and respect for my home and needs was exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for an easier remodeling process, and with great results! Well done guys, you deserve it!
