Why Every Renovation Deserves a Contractor with an In-House Designer

Your home deserves more than just walls, floors, and finishes. It deserves a team that knows how to bring your renovation ideas to life, turning your vision into a space that’s functional, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

That’s why working with a contractor that has designers on their team, like we do at Catalyst, makes all the difference. Our in-house designers collaborate seamlessly with our crews from start to finish, ensuring your ideas are refined, practical, and executed exactly as you imagined.
