Catalyst did an excellent job on our combination garage conversion, full siding replacement, and full window replacement.

Catalyst did an excellent job on our combination garage conversion, full siding replacement, and full window replacement. The staff at Catalyst was very responsive, considerate, and understood our preferences well. They also offered useful advice with cost/value considerations when we weren’t sure what we wanted. On top of having great internal staff, one of the best things about Catalyst was their choice of subcontractors. Almost a dozen times neighbors came up to me during construction and asked for references to both the general contractor and the subs because of the good work ethic and quality output. Despite a few delays in permitting and materials Catalyst was able to smoothly manage all aspects of the project. Catalyst was also able to keep the project cost to within 5% of the original quote. I highly recommend Catalyst for any residential construction job. Less
Catalyst did a great job with the total guy and remodel of our kitchen, dining and living rooms. Even when issues popped up (our house is 70 years old, so that was to be expected), Jake was always available to explain, provide answers, and keep our project on track.
We had a great experience with Catalyst. They provide great service and stand behind their work. Thanks!
We had Catalyst do a kitchen remodel for us with Alex as our project manager. We had interviewed and received quotes from several contractors and Catalyst was the best fit for us. Not only did we do a full kitchen remodel (down to studs) but also full house wood floor install, electrical work and some paint around the house. Alex made sure we knew day to day what was being done and what crews to ... More
We had Catalyst do a kitchen remodel for us with Alex as our project manager. We had interviewed and received quotes from several contractors and Catalyst was the best fit for us. Not only did we do a full kitchen remodel (down to studs) but also full house wood floor install, electrical work and some paint around the house. Alex made sure we knew day to day what was being done and what crews to expect. We felt very comfortable with all the crews Catalyst had performing jobs. Of the one or two issues that came up Alex handled them without question, professionally, and transparently. We would without question use Catalyst again for any project. Less

Chances are if you're reading reviews like this one, you're in the hunt for a contractor for a project at home. The good news is that you can stop searching now: you've found your people at Catalyst Construction. My wife and I recently worked with Catalyst and hired them on to renovate our home (kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, installation of flooring, installation of ceiling fans and lighting, redesign of a laundry room, floor tiling). Throughout the process, they were communicative and direct with us about our hopes and goals for the project and the timeline for it, as well. Based on past experience with other contractors, we were always surprised that they responded to our questions in a timely fashion, offering guidance and advice as best as was available. They stuck to their original timeline well and came in within the budget projected. For context, we were the absolute worst customers we could be, continuously requesting small changes and asking for emendations to the original bid. They not only accommodated our requests but often made suggestions about how best to pursue our requests. We're about to move into the house after a three-month project timeline that they largely kept to (November through January): the house looks beautiful, and we're so excited to move in. Call Alec and Alex to get on their schedule soon: they book out in advance, and they fill their days quickly. Thank you to the team at Catalyst, and good luck to you on your upcoming home renovation project! Less
We've used Catalyst for several home renovation projects over the years and will continue using them as they are the standard for what a contractor should be. Remodeling and renovating your home is a stressful endeavor and you'll find more horror stories about contractors than you'll find positive experiences. Catalyst is the exception.

We've used Catalyst for several home renovation projects over the years and will continue using them as they are the standard for what a contractor should be. Remodeling and renovating your home is a stressful endeavor and you'll find more horror stories about contractors than you'll find positive experiences. Catalyst is the exception. This team was on the ball from the beginning and was with us until the end. They never failed to show up, they never fell out of touch, they always made themselves available when we had questions or concerns and they made us feel like a priority throughout each project. They worked to keep the project moving even when material delays occurred. What separates them from everyone else is that they genuinely understand that their success is entirely dependent on completing a project to the customer's satisfaction. They are quality in every sense and you can trust that if something isn't done right they'll be there until it is. I cannot recommend them enough and we look forward to our next project with them.

10/10 would recommend. I contacted Alex for some info and pricing for several projects I was considering over the past year. He came out and gave me very competitive pricing in a timely manner on every occasion. I look forward to working with him in the future.
Fantastic! We turned to Catalyst when we purchased our new house. We first had to get our condo in shape to sell. We reached out to Alex and he helped us with a bathroom remodel and interior paint job They did such great work we decided to use them to spruce up the new house.

The guys over at Catalyst are the dream team. They are honest, fairly priced and highly professional. I’ve done multiple remodel projects with them, all of which have exceeded my expectations. It’s really important to do your due diligence when selecting a contractor. If you want a professional, stress-free remodel at a fair and transparent price, look no further. These guys are the best!
I cannot speak highly enough about Catalyst. We recently completed a large renovation project on our home that was complex and ended up taking longer than originally anticipated. Alex, Jake and the whole Catalyst team were extremely professional throughout, and despite the extended timeline, their work was extremely thorough.

I cannot speak highly enough about Catalyst. We recently completed a large renovation project on our home that was complex and ended up taking longer than originally anticipated. Alex, Jake and the whole Catalyst team were extremely professional throughout, and despite the extended timeline, their work was extremely thorough. I’m very detail-oriented, and the team never had any issues with my questions/focus on every detail. Also worth mentioning that every sub-contractor Catalyst used was very high-quality. If you’re contemplating a renovation in Austin, you should reach out to Catalyst ASAP. Less
I helped my elderly sister to repair/remodel her kitchen area and tile flooring, painting, staining etc., throughout the house, both inside and out, after she had moved out of the area. I do not live locally, and so needed someone I could fully depend on to do the job and do it right! I found those folks @ Catalyst Construction.

Catalyst designed and built a screen porch addition to our home and it was the best decision we ever made. They took care of everything, were reliable, proactive, and the quality of the work is something every visitor notices. Our project manager Sean was especially attentive and I have now recommended them to several friends. If we do more work down the line, they will be my first call.
We had a fantastic experience with Catalyst Construction in Austin! Alex was our point of contact throughout the process and he maintained great communication with us. The quality of the work was fantastic and they were detail-oriented. We would highly recommend them!

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. Less
Jason / Catalyst Construction did a complete remodel of a condominium my husband and I own in ATX, in late 2012. I'm writing this review in 2015, because every time I enter our condo even now I am thrilled with the way it looks.

Jason / Catalyst Construction did a complete remodel of a condominium my husband and I own in ATX, in late 2012. I'm writing this review in 2015, because every time I enter our condo even now I am thrilled with the way it looks. It housed our three children while they attended college; when the youngest graduated, the wear and tear of years of college living showed. We had Jason totally decimate the two bedroom / two bath unit, and replace everything. We had him cut down the counter between the kitchen and living area to open space and add more counter space. We had him add canned lights in the kitchen and bathrooms. We had new bathroom / kitchen cabinets, tubs, and toilets installed. We had new tile installed throughout the entire place. Everything was brand new. Jason finished the work a little earlier than he predicted, and the work is perfect. The details even down to the baseboards are amazing. Moreover, our condo neighbors told us they witnessed Jason making sure the work crew kept the area outside our unit clean as they worked; our neighbors appreciated Jason's consideration of our common property. We're facing some remodeling work at our property in SATX right now, and we really miss Jason. We wish he had a clone in SATX! Less
