Cataldo Custom Builders, Inc.

I had the joy of working with Cataldo Builders in the blizzard winter of 2015 in Falmouth on Cape Cod where weather threatened the job site 15 weekends in a row! The entire team is tightly interfaced with their subcontractors and the communication is pipelined thru the on going and detailed specifications channels in their front office with Julie. With Peter Sarkinen in the field as the project manager, he is 2 steps ahead of every one else and is ready to trouble shoot and execute in a highly professional manner. Ralph is the man on the go with deep experience and vision that guides the project seamlessly thru it's phases. I adored specifying interior wall, floor and ceiling finishes and materials and was met with cooperation and feedback from the team. The clients added tremendous direction to the process as they were detail oriented towards making sure the way they perceived themselves living in this new home was how Cataldo met their needs on a monthly basis for over 15 months.

Immediately upon meeting Ralph, we knew he was the "right" builder for us. His honesty, extensive knowledge and professionalism are all real. Having completed construction and renovation on our primary home in Winchester and our summer home in Falmouth, we are pleased beyond our expectations with the quality of workmanship, the professional staff and, most of all, the sincerity of Mr. Ralph Cataldo of Cataldo Custom Builders. They met or exceeded all of our expectations. Immediately upon meeting Ralph, we knew he was the "right: builder for us. His honesty, extensive knowledge and professionalism are all real. Ralph employs outstanding and talented craftsmen who pay attention to detail and take pride in the quality of their work. Both our projects were completed on time and within budget, they were completely in tune with us, addressing all of our concerns, allaying all fears and handling the unexpected challenges that arise in construction with ease. Not only did we get an extraordinary builder, we got a lifetime friend.

Based on a recommendation from a trusted friend, our family hired Ralph and his team to build our home in Falmouth. Their overall performance was somewhere between outstanding and amazing as the quality of their work and project management was only exceeded by their collective enthusiasm and personal touches making the process a pleasure from start to finish. Several key attributes distinguish Cataldo Custom Builders in the marketplace. The quality of their work is exemplary and speaks for itself. Ralph and his team work seamlessly with the architects and suppliers to maximize the value of every dollar spent while providing a level of financial transparency that gave us continual insight and control of the project. Ralph has trusted relationships with his suppliers and partners and this enabled the project to be completed ahead of schedule with an attention to detail that was outstanding. The level of commitment, dedication, and professionalism that Ralph, Julie, Peter, and Maribeth gave to us throughout the building process resulted in a relationship such that we count them as friends of the family-they made the experience that memorable and successful. We would recommend them with the highest accolades and gladly share our experiences firsthand-please feel free to contact us!

We selected Ralph Cataldo and his team to rebuild and expand our 45-year-old waterfront home, and to construct a pool house on the property. Construction on waterfront property requires successful management of nuanced environmental regulations as well as site specific building code requirements. Ralph's team completed their work on budget, on time while successfully resolving, architectural requirements that initially conflicted with modern era rules and regulations. The quality of the craftsmanship and meticulous logistical process, allowed our family to build our dream home.

I can not speak highly enough about Cataldo Builders. Ralph and his team are professional, easy to work with, and they do what they say they are going to do when they saw they are going to do it. There is no waiting around for them. There are no "no shows", And they answer phone calls or inquiries quickly no matter when you call or what you need. Even after the job is done. As Ralph once said to me, "you are always part of the Cataldo family" and that's how I feel. I know no matter when I call them, they would be here. They are simply the best. If you want a quality builder that uses quality material look no further. Highly, highly recommended.

Cataldo Builder’s commitment to high quality, cost-effective solutions has been exceptional, and their professionalism, responsiveness, and customer focus has been impressive. Ralph’s honesty and integrity were clear before we started the project, and he has been consistent throughout. During the project planning stage, the team initiated efforts to ensure permits were issued quickly and by charting the schedule through summer, they took great care to ensure construction activities would not interfere with our neighbors, while the team worked diligently to minimize community issues and to build fantastic relationships. From timelines to budgets to change orders, the team prided itself on transparency and excellent communications that enabled us to execute plans without surprises. Budgets were well annotated, value engineered, and costs were managed very carefully. When changes were proposed or problems identified, the team consistently took the initiative to find feasible, cost-effective, practical solutions that satisfied the architects, designers, sub-contractors and us, and typically solved issues very quickly. When the project ran into unforeseeable challenges, the team and subcontractors remained fully committed to working with us to reach the best outcomes possible. Cataldo’s team’s post-construction commitment to client satisfaction has been the most impressive of all. In our initial meeting we asked about “warranty service”, and Ralph said, “Trust me, I’m not going anywhere. If there is a problem, I will be there for you”. True to their word, Ralph, Julie and the team have been there to support us throughout. As any issues arose, the team has been there to address it and take pride in its resolution. Cataldo Builders represents the classic model for success - dedicated to customer satisfaction, passionate and experienced in delivering high quality products, and trusted sub-contractors committed to them and their client’s success. Cataldo Builders does the “right thing” for their clients, partners and for the community and earned their reputation for excellence by doing exactly what they say they will do, and doing it so well!

Cataldo Custom Builders helped us create the home of our dreams! We built a brand new 5,000+ square foot home right on the water and we are thoroughly enjoying it. They worked extremely hard to coordinate contractors to finish two months ahead of schedule so we could enjoy the summer in our new home. We had a miserable experience renovating our previous home, with a different contractor, but Cataldo Custom Builders is completely different. They are professional, motivated, accountable, and personable--a complete pleasure to work with. Attention to detail, quality workmanship, and responsiveness are all accurate descriptions. We appreciate their experience and ability to help us with every detail and patience to work with us on cost in the midst of economic change. We are hoping to work with Cataldo Custom Builders in the future.
