I have already recommended CG&S to friends! I tell them that they are more expensive than some companies, but the quality of the results and the professionalism of the service made it worth it for us. The designer listened to our needs and wish list, and came up with a design that meets our needs beautifully, and the project team made it into a reality on schedule and on budget. I value doing business with a locally-owned company with such deep roots in Austin.

This job was run smoothly and efficiently, with great attention to detail and conscientious communication.

They are decent, honest, and talented people who are interested in doing a great job.

We loved our experience with CG&S and are so happy with our remodeled home. The firm is professional & personable, and they’ve collected teams of very talented members from the design community, from CAD techs to contractors. Their architects & interior designers are top notch, and we would recommend CG&S to anyone looking to remodel their home.

So far, the process is going well!

CG&S is tops in the business. Their upfront planning process was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend to them to a friend.

I really had a lot of reservations about doing a remodel/rebuild but CG&S made the process digestible and easy.

The cost of our project is more than we would normally be comfortable with, but the early access to even rough numbers greatly helped us with the decisions we would have to make. The professionalism of the design and budgeting team, anticipating potential delays and early attention to details, has made the process run smoothly so far and given us confidence that, bar major unforeseen surprises, it should continue that way.

Great team, comprehensive process encompassing architecture, design and construction makes this a one-stop shop. So convenient and reliable. Everyone has been professional, accurate and transparent. I highly recommend working with this company!

We trust CG&S because of previous experiences with them.

You KNOW you are getting great quality and competence when you work with the CGS team!

Since our first remodeling project over ten years ago, we have recommended CG&S Design-Build to many friends and neighbors. We will continue to do so!

Would highly recommend CG&S!

Work was highly satisfactory, on time, quality of work was excellent, work crew was diligent and pleasant to work with.

CG&S were great to work with....they made the whole remodeling process enjoyable. We interacted with several CG&S employees throughout the project and all were very professional and a pleasure to get to know.

We used CG&S to do a fairly substantial renovation on a house we had just purchased in Austin. It was an excellent choice. The quality of their work was outstanding. The biggest features of the job was the replacement of an old back porch with a beautiful sunroom which now adjoins a large kitchen in the center of the house and the construction of an attractive pavilion towards the back of our lot which faces the sunroom.

Most of the interior rooms were redone and the design team worked closely with us to pick out the fixtures, appliances and wall treatments that we needed. We were very happy with the results.

All of the CG&S team members were great to work with. We ran into some pandemic related delays and the team did everything they could to work our scheduling problems.

We can unhesitatingly recommend them.

We have had a mostly positive experience with CG&S so far, and would recommend CG&S to a friend overall. We did have some frustrations with the design phase (explained below) but have appreciated many of the staff we are working with (Lara and David in particular) and are so glad to be in the construction phase now!

Great team to work with. High quality work and awesome design.

They are an excellent company.

CG&S Design-Build is excellent. They are very professional, communicative, and they do very high-quality work. I had a previous contractor practically destroy the house. CG&S Design-Build picked up the project for me, even if it is not something they usually do. They redid the job. It was done very well and professionally. They were very kind. They were great!

I did a refresh for the primary bedroom and bath. The job was completed on time and within budget. Beautiful work. And they threw in a few free extras like balancing the closet doors, to make the project look special.

We've done several remodeling projects with CG&S, and have been very happy with the results every time. One crucial item is that they listen to the client, both in the design and production phases. We end up with a project that matches our needs and our style. They stand behind their work, sometimes even beyond the one-year warranty. They're considerate of our time and tell us who is scheduled to come when. They and their subcontractors deliver quality work.

We have worked with CG&S on perhaps six projects - - two major renovations and four repair/refresh jobs - - and every time we've felt grateful to be working with folks that we trust, who listen to our desires and work hard to fulfill them, who have the highest standards, and who are just plain good people. That's why we keep coming back, and why we never miss a chance to recommend them to friends who are looking for similar work to be done.

CG&S provides high-quality workmanship. I love working with them and recommend them to anyone who values quality and having wonderful people to work with.

Incredibly high quality work, great people and a clean construction site at the end of every day, but it's an expensive undertaking.

The process has been clear and enjoyable and I love my team. I would (& have) definitely recommend working with CG&S.

This is our 4th major remodel with CG&S. On this project, we hired another company first and quickly realized that it wasn't a good fit for various reasons. We called CG&S and even though we are no longer in their service area, they agreed to take on the project. We knew we had lost quite a bit of time with the other company, but we were willing to wait to ensure we would end up with the quality, high end product we knew CG&S could deliver.. The talent, quality, craftsmanship, and professionalism of everyone at CG&S is outstanding and we couldn’t be happier with our beautiful home.

Yes, most likely to recommend at the end of the process.

To be determined based on execution of the project.

Everyone was a pleasure to work with and our project manager, Rick was very communicative and open to suggestions and helping in any way he could. We really echoey the design aspect of everything and choosing finishes and we are loving living in the finished product.

I will not recommend. Far too many problems with too many areas of the process. Time wasted, too much money spent….

CG&S is a well experienced and exceedingly professional company. I would recommend it to anyone who requires 1) an excellent design team and and 2) the expert management necessary to carry out . They really listen to the customer and deliver as promised.

Overall, we are very happy with the work done by CGSDB especially considering the difficult timeframe during which we did our reno. The design, the quality of the work, and the excellent management of the project met or exceeded our expectations.

Very easy to work with, discuss progress, learn options.

The CG&S team was top notch. They addressed ever step of the process with professionalism and diligence. I would not consider using anyone else but them for any future project. We love our remodel. Thanks Danny and Lindsay and your whole team.

Great design process, very skilled carpentry, friendly staff and spectacular final product! Construction process was a bit bumpy (was during covid pandemic and this was our first reno project so we have no point of comparison)

This was our second remodel with CGSDB. Both experiences have been wonderful. They are on time and their experienced professionals are the best! We highly recommend them. You will receive quality workmanship

We would absolutely recommend CG&S- we already have! CG&S expertise and level of care during projects is worth every penny.

They were awesome, and the organization was amazing.

They are incredibly professional, courteous, and understanding. They do quality work.

CG&S does an exceptional job - very high quality work, attention to detail, creative and talented and committed to satisfying their customers. This is the 2nd renovation they have done for us - 10 years apart - and we would recommend them to everyone. In addition to the current project they volunteered to fix a number of minor issues elsewhere in our home. We know from experience that if we need advice and/or help in the future, we only need to call them. They are very pleasant, efficient and make sure everything is done to the highest standard.

Soup to Nuts service at all levels. Despite Covid Building challenges,

Management Team was professional, reliable and thorough. Any issues that arose during the four-month project were resolved amicably and reliably.

After recommendations from several neighbors, we hired CG&S for a total renovation of our 20 year old house. We moved completely out of our home for nine months for the renovation to take place. From start to finish, we had a great experience that ended up with our "new" home being everything that we wanted, delivered on time and on budget (during the peak of the pandemic!).

We loved working with them. They were great.

Our sixty-year old house had a cramped addition that no one liked using. What was worse, we couldn’t access our backyard easily through it. When it came time to replace the addition, I knew that we wanted to replace it with a quality living space that we would enjoy inhabiting. We also wanted the space to feel like a natural extension of the original build.

To complicate matters, our house was built on the root zone of three heritage oak trees so we needed to improve their well-being and not harm them further.

CG&S navigated city and engineering requirements to build our new living/dining room, office, laundry, and half-bath. After living in the space for a year (including working at home during the pandemic), we love living here. The new addition lets light into the kitchen so even the old space feels friendlier.

Renovation isn’t cheap so you should expect to pay for quality work. We appreciate that CG&S assigned a build manager to coordinate staff, vendors, and city. Staff kept our house livable during renovations and we appreciate that as well. The resulting structure fits our original design sketch while solving the plumbing problems through the root zones. We feel like the space will age well with the house.

I love the quality of work of CG&S! They stand behind their work in case there ever is a problem or if a change needs to be made.

We've had great experiences before. This most recent one had a few problems. See below.

Was very pleased with CG&S. In short (1) they came up with a great design, (2) the "build" portion of the project was well executed, (3) they were very professional and effective in terms of managing the project and our expectations, and (4) they very much made us feel part of the project where they listened to our input, explained areas where they may agree or disagree with some of our thoughts, and worked with us on working towards solutions on any issues which ultimately come up as part of any project.

We have worked with CG&S Design-Build on several renovation projects over the years. They are the best! Wonderful design ideas as well as creative problem solving. We give our highest recommendation.
