When Mike came out to give me a quote, he told and told me he would get back to me in a week and could probably finish part of the work in the next two weeks and start the full remodel within a month. That was in January, and I'm writing this review at the end of March. I called him several times and finally caught up with him about a month ago, when he said he had had some family issues and would get back to me soon. But he never did. I spent time cleaning my house, speaking with him, writing him an email with all the details of my project, calling references, and waiting months for an answer. The very least he could have done was said he wasn't interested in the project.

It went outstanding! They weren't any inconveiniece, great communication, had everything ready to go.

It went very well. Everything was well done in an efficient, timely, and clean manner.

It's been excellent. I would highly recommend them.

The entire process was easy and done exactly the way we wanted it. Mike was great at giving us advice along with listening to what we wanted. Everyday work was completed mike cleaned up so it hardly looked like anyone was here. I would highly recommend mike!

Not once during our entire basement finishing process did I question our decision to work with Mike Hessling at Catalyst (formerly Apex). The entire process took just over a month to go from a completely unfinished basement to a brand new, beautiful, rec room, office, and 3/4 bathroom. Mike even dealt with all the curve balls we threw him along the way, switching colors midway through painting, adding an additional cabinet here. He is the kind of contractor you dream of. He's hands-on, there first thing every morning doing so much of the work himself! And the coordination with all the subcontractors was amazing. Everyone knew when and where to be and what exactly needed to get done. To top it all off, he came in right on budget as quoted (which was very fair). Mike's brother Adam was also key in the build, working hard with Mike or on his own.

Mike and his team were very professional. He proposed several options, laid out the schedule, developed the budget, and communicated well throughout the project. Several unexpected issues were found when the kitchen soffit was removed (plumbing and electrical) and a rotten sill plate around the front door that he repaired at no extra charge. I have recommended Mike to several acquaintances and would hire him again for future projects.

Mike and his crew are quiet....no music, respectful voices, genuine smiles and just really nice people. He was extremely prompt. I mean, not even 10 minutes late! He cleaned up every night, kept me informed of any material delays and made the entire experience a breeze. I am picky! If I found a smudge of paint or caulk I would point it out and the next day it was fixed. He even came over one Sunday and finished the crown molding with his well-behaved kids. I would recommend Mike and Catalst Custom Construction without hesitation!
