My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I have known and worked with Catherine for over 12 years now as a custom cabinetry fabricator in the North Shore. She has a remarkable understanding of her clients and how to incorporate their needs into beautiful designs that are both simple and concise and yet a pleasure to construct. Her straight forward approach towards customer relationships is likely her strongest asset.

When we decided to build a custom home from the ground up I knew I had to hire Cathy. She is the consummate professional: she gets things done when she says she will, she knows her business and her products, she has impeccable taste and she is a pleasure to work with. Cathy is my go-to person for anything design related!

Thanks, David! Right back at you! I love how we work together to resolve any issues that might come up- of course after brainstorming together first to minimize any.

Working with Catherine Schager Designs was a smooth sailing experience. Cathy provided a Master Bath vanity for my client and we could not be happier! Cathy's approach is calm, patient and very organized. I was extremely impressed with the spec book she provided to me and my Contractor so that we could easily install and expedite the process for my client. I love her cabinetry lines as well. They run the gamut of price range and style so that it was easy to select the perfect finish and style for my project while adhering to my client's budget. Both my client and I loved working with Cathy. She is simply wonderful and I can't wait to work with her again.

I would strongly recommend Catherine. She has helped me on several homes remodeling projects. She came up with many ideas that never occurred to me and turned out to preform as she intended . When ever I need help, Catherine Schager is my first and only call. I like her thoughts and I trust her.

Catherine was so helpful. She came over and helped me pick the perfect paint and carpeting for my home. Ideas i would have never thought of on my own. She really had great advice on what would look good with my taste and décor. She seemed very knowledgeable on what looked good together and what didn't. She was very efficient and we got a lot done quickly. I felt like she really cares about her clients!
