“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!”

Blue Horse Building & Design
New & Custom Home Builders in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 25, 2013
“Blue Horse Building is a thoughtful, detail-oriented, and well-managed construction company that we were happy to have worked with. So happy that we've already teamed up with them again for our next project. They truly embody a team effort and mentality that strengthens the architect-contractor relationship. This project was new construction restrained by a dramatic site as the house sat at the edge of a bluff overlooking the lake. Our team fought for every inch of the footprint to provide a fully programmed house, and throughout the process, Blue Horse Building offered tactful suggestions that met our design aesthetic. With our teams' collaboration, the result was a polished, budget-conscience house that fulfilled our clients' wishes. We look forward to the next project with Blue Horse.”
Villani + Graham

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 7, 2015
“I worked with Matt Henke, one of the project managers on a fairly involved remodel for our lakehouse. Matt's focus on service and quality were fantastic. We were keep up-to-date on all the important phases of the project, and when something wasn't quite right, it got fixed promptly and effectively. We would highly recommend Matt and V+G to anyone.”
Oliver Custom Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 19, 2013
“Oliver Custom Homes is the best builder in central Texas. They did a whole house rebuild for me after a fire and the workmanship was great and the project was completed on time. I would recommend them to anyone.”
Katz Builders, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 27, 2012
“The Katz Builders team is very professional. We have worked on dozens of projects together over a span of over 25 years (my firm draws the plans and Katz does the construction) and every one of my clients who has used Katz for the construction project has been very pleased with quality, professionalism and service. The level of personal attention and care they provide is unparalleled. In one remodel, for instance, they painstakingly removed the original wood casing from doors and reinstalled it after the remodel was finished. Their tile installer did my own floors and I was extremely impressed with how carefully he and his lead installer planned the layout to make sure that the tile was centered on several different axes as well as ensuring no small slivers of tile at edges and other subtle things I would never have noticed had they done it incorrectly. If something "doesn't seem right" about plans we have provided, the Katz team always call to make sure they get it right rather than "winging it" in the field risking misinterpretation of our intent. They have used many of the same sub-contractors the entire time I have known them which means to me that they have loyal sub-contractors and you will get consistent and high quality results from them. And, once again, I want to mention that in all these years I have not once had a homeowner come back to me and complain about them as their builder. That is very rare in this business.”
Hulton Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 17, 2013
“Most General Contractors are ok until a change order is needed and than the problems begin with cost over runs and a delayed project. Fortunately with the owner of Hulton Development, he was very good at communicating the process and costs associated with the project and when the project had an unexpected change order, Thomas made it work and was efficient at making our concerns, his concerns. We appreciate working with a professional.”
KC Custom Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 8, 2021
“KC Custom Homes recently completed our dream home in Cordova on Canyon Lake. Our experience from initial contact with Ken Castro and his sons to visualizing our dreams with Rudy, the amazing home designer, were superior to all the custom home stories I had heard. The foundation was poured at the start of June and we moved in at the end of December. Our project manager - Jaime- worked from day 1 to stay on top of the build and ensure each step was done well. The entire process was a positive one and we believe much of that starts with the vision and work ethic of KC Custom Homes and those who work for this company. Were there some bumps- of course- but KC Custom Homes worked through each issue that surfaced. We are so pleased to be in our home and would welcome the chance to talk more about our experience. If you are looking for quality work from the start to finish, please consider contacting KC Custom Homes!”
