Ashley Baughman on Catalyst Homes

We chose Catalyst to build with due to their integrity and desire to help us realize our perfect home. We had the ability to chose every last detail to make it our own. From the transparent pricing and easy communication with the builders (not a project manager assigned to our home) it was a nearly seamless experience. I’ve spoken to many who have built homes with other builders and have not had anywhere near the positive experience we had. We had access to design assistance and were able to deal directly with the suppliers. If you’re looking to build a quality, custom home, I can not give a greater recommendation for Seth and Cain Doliboa. I promise you will not be disappointed, and will come out with the home of your dreams :)

We are in the process of a new build with Catalyst & we love the family experience. Cain & Seth are true professionals that show they care. They are customer oriented & pay attention to detail. They are extremely responsive whenever we have a question. Ashley has been a God send. She has been with us every step of the way scheduling all of our appointments & helping us stay organized. We appreciate her experience & input when making our selections. I feel like we’ve known them all for years & look forward to seeing the final product & moving into our new home. Thank you Cain, Seth & Ashley for making our new build experience so easy & that we know we will love!

Just completed a build with Catalyst Homes. Working with Seth, Cain and Ashley has been a great experience. The home came out just the way I had anticipated.
This is what you expect when you build with a "custom" builder...very customer oriented and super responsive. Having Seth on-site almost every day ensured the project was going the way it should.

A great product !!

We built a house with Catalyst in 2019. Our experience from start to finish was outstanding! Cain & Seth are honest, dependable, and truly care about the work they do. If you want to build your dream home, I highly recommend Catalyst Homes as your builder!

Kurt Grafton on Catalyst Homes

The Catalyst team’s approach to building a new home made the experience enjoyable. The team helped through every phase of the process by being available to answer questions and providing helpful advice. We had purchased several homes but had never built before. They were there every step of the way, from the initial design to the finishing touches to listen and advise us. Their ability to listen and incorporate our tastes into our new house ensured a fabulous final product. If you are looking for a home builder you can trust and who will always have your best interest in mind then choose Catalyst.
