Design-Build Contractors & Firms Near New Braunfels

“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.”

“My husband and I loved working with Gustavo. As a designer myself, I had a vision in my mind. Gustavo was able to capture that vision and add his special touches that is making our dream extra special. It was a fun project, working along side him and the contractor, pulling all our creative ideas together. Building a home can be a stressful time. But when you have someone with a calm demeanor like Gustavo, it helps make the design part easy. I will say Gustavo is an artist. I would highly recommend him.”

“Totally recommend Barley | Pfeiffer Architecture! My experience the Barley | Pfeiffer has been exceptional. I have done small remodel projects, but nothing to the extent of my project with Barley | Pfeiffer. The scope of this project was to take a 1960 ranch (2900 sq. ft.) with low roofline, limited light, sub-optimal functionality and efficiency and transform it into a modern, clean lined, open, bright, energy efficient home while taking advantage of my beautifully wooded Tarrytown lot. I found them (Peter Pfeiffer, Alan Barley, Matt Weiger and Vanessa) to be very up front with their communications and expectation setting and offered many creative ideas to enhance the outcome of my project that also include costs and budgeting discussions. They were easy to get in touch with and set up meetings and conference calls around my schedule. As Peter and Alan got to know me through the architectural design process, I asked for a general contractor recommendations and after meeting a few I selected Ray Tonjes – best decision ever! Barley | Pfeiffer stayed involved with the project to the very end frequently checking in and doing walk throughs quickly addressing issues with “the unexpected findings of a 57 yr. old house”. Barley | Pfeiffer excelled at the overall design that fits the lot and neighborhood, creating an energy efficient home (my energy costs have been cut in half), creative problem solving, selection of products and surface coverings both interior and exterior, capitalizing on my lot/house orientation taking advantage of the light and natural air flow, doing things right the first time so I had no “fix it’s or Re-do’s” with the project. I chose their comprehensive level of service which cost a little more up front, however and it paid off before the project was finished. Overall it was a very collaborative process and I appreciate the insight and expertise of Barley | Pfeiffer Architecture. I am exceptionally happy with the results of my home – I love it!”
