CG&S Design-Build

We love CG&S. While the decision to renovate is a lengthy and expensive decision, it prove to be cost-​effective for us compared to moving and renovating another home. Our house now meets our needs through the addition of a family room and utility/​laundry room. We also reclaimed existing square footage through redesign of our existing patio and office space. The new addition looks like it belongs with the rest of the house. The outside has never looked better.
Most importantly, they have been responsive to our requests for further repairs. They are always responsive to email requests. They are the first home repair people we have maintained friendships with after the project was done. Hope we can use them again to renovate other parts of our house.
CG&S

Our comfy 1942 stone home needed upgrades and was found to have extensive termite damage throughout all the interior walls and ceiling. Bring in CG&S Design Build who completed an extensive and beautiful remodeling and creative new building of a carport. CG&S also added an exterior walk way, path lighting and front porch screening to the home. Dolores, Billy and Stewart along with our site manager, Jim and everyone that added their skills to the project were very communicative, supportive and friendly. I can’t say enough about how pleased I was with the outcome of our project and the very positive dealings with the CG&S «family!»

After trying for several months to find someone to remove our in-​ground swimming pool and landscape the new area I was fortunate to find Billy Guerrero of CG&S. The price was reasonable and done in a reasonable amount of time. All of the workers were very nice and did an excellent job. In addition to doing a great job on the pool project, Billy and the project manager, Randy Gray, were helpful in trouble shooting some other little projects I had going at the same time. I am so glad I found CG&S.

I e-​mailed CG&S over the Christmas holidays regarding a master bath renovation and did not expect to hear back until after the New Year. But within about a day I received a called from Billy, the president of the company. He was very down to earth and friendly. In our discussion, it became clear that they might be a little out of my price range. But that did not change how he treated me. He still wanted to get a sketch of my space and some photos which I emailed to him. Within hours he got back to me with a rough estimate just so I could know what I might be looking at. His estimate was really not that much different from others I have received, but the treatment and attentiveness I received was far better. While I have not yet made up my mind who to work with yet, and am still examining my budget, I am really considering using them just because of how they have treated me thus far. I have still not heard back from some of the companies that I contacted. If I am treated this well when they are fairly certain that I won’t hire them, I think I should really consider them and am seriously doing so.

Oversold, overpriced, unobservant project management, and lack of quality on a renovation almost $ 300K for enhancing a porch, adding a roof to the porch, updated kitchen and mesquite floors. Concrete on porch has severe cracks at one year, and kitchen cabinet doors have chips and splits.

It’s hard to find good remodeling resources in Austin. Don’t know why, but it’s always been that way. We found what I believe to be the best in Austin.
We had a 25 year old house that defined uglyfunk. Small rooms, dark hallways, tiny kitchen. Built on a hill with limited access to the house. I wanted to knock it down and start over but it wasn’t practical.
After meeting with several remodeling companies we settled on CG&S Design. They did everything from concepts to detailed design to babysitting the final punch list AND helping me find the service companies for regular maintenance. The job was so good that they won a NARI award for our remodel.
The best part is that they came in on budget and even came up with some cool upgrades like rusted steel walls and etched glass room dividers. Within our budget.
Billy and his team are professional, very high quality, and thorough. They were calling and giving ME grief for not making the review meetings! They have a process, great designers, and really good work staff. I HIGHLY recommend them.
Check out their site and look at the quality of their work.
