We were one of the unfortunate people that had flood damage due to Hurricane Harvey. End result of the flooding was that we had to rebuild the first floor of our home. We opted to use the opportunity to do a little remodeling work in the process.Kaleidoscope came recommended by my neighbor across the street who had already started his rebuilding project. I talked to Jamie from Kaleidoscope as well as two other contractors to secure bids. Kaleidoscope came in cost competitive, but more importantly I felt more comfortable with Jamie than with other contractors. Jamie spent much more time working through the options with me, explained everything clearly and generally gave me much more confidence that this wasnt going to be one of those projects where I felt frustrated and disappointed at the end and was in the dark on what was going on or where Id constantly have to chase after and push the contractor.That proved to be an accurate expectation throughout the process. While it wasnt a remodeling we would have chosen to take on, it was a good experience. Jamie was always available to talk, work through things, talk through alternatives, talk through costs of different options and I found him to be extremely flexible. His team was very professional, got work done efficiently and did a good job.Where sub-contractors came into play, given strong demand for workers I knew going in that there might be delays or other issues. Any time contractor availability became a challenge, Jamie always had a secondary plan ready to be implemented and everything moved along pretty smoothly.In the end, we had to slow down the project on our end as our insurance adjuster was slow and it began to look likely wed be finished before ever receiving a flood insurance check. While Im sure he would have liked to press forward and finish the work, he was more than happy to slow things down and time completion to where we wouldnt be put under a financial squeeze.Since completion, as youd expect we have had a couple of things pop up and Jamie has dealt with them immediately and resolved the issue. He didnt just disappear once the job was done, hes been available to handle issues as well as to provide advice on things unrelated to the job.The experience was for us so positive that when we needed to tear our our walkway and replace it later on in the year, we went straight to Jamie and were again happy with the results.

While our project faced many challenges, all throughout the process, Jamie was a rock. He produced our goals of a beautiful home with clean lines and high levels of energy efficiency. In his no-nonsense way, he worked through various challenges in the original architect plans and the trials that the city presented. He was in constant contact with us regarding progress and clarifications, and finished our new home in time for our move-in date. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a competent, knowledgeable builder.

We couldnt be happier with the results of our addition that was designed and built by Kaleidoscope Design Build. First, a little background:We bought the cutest 1940s bungalow in the Houston Heights area several years ago. When performing some pre-sale digging, we learned that this house was deemed the Maxwell House by the owners, who had added a master suite as well as updated the interior of the original house prior to selling it. We only knew the names of the owners, Jamie and Daria Conlan. After receiving a couple of cool design catalogues in the mail after we moved in, we learned that they owned a business called Kaleidoscope Design Build.Fast forward a couple of years - my husband and I hated the idea of leaving our house, but we required more space. I loved the updated interior of our house so much, I just wanted to hire a contractor who could come in, appreciate what had previously been done, and then create an addition that matched. It finally hit me --- we needed Kaleidoscope Design Build to design and build our addition. They had created a magical, updated bungalow that we couldnt bear to leave, and thus, they were the obvious choice for an addition.Jamie and Daria have been ridiculously impressive since the very first meeting we had with them. Darias design aesthetic is classy but still unique, timeless but still funky (if you wish), and so clever. She puts so much thought into every nook of her design. Further, Jamie provides amazing oversight to the entire project. He ran a tight ship with respect to his subcontractors. Even more importantly, he provided daily updates on the status of the build and was always very responsive to our (sometimes incessant) questions.My husband and I are thrilled with the final outcome of our project. We received a unique and beautiful space that we never want to leave. Building an addition to your house (and most certainly, building an entire house from the ground up) can seem overwhelming and crazy, but Jamie and Daria made our project a reality and guided us through the process with a high standard of professionalism. My husband and I could not have spent the last several months with any other design/build team.

We have had a wonderful experience with Kaleidoscope Design Build. We remodeled a bungalow and they worked with us to bring our vision into reality while sticking within our budgetary constraints. They have been efficient, responsive, creative and fun to work with throughout the whole project. We loved working with them through the design process, which included budgets to give us an idea of how much our design decisions were going to cost. Through the building process and completion of the project they have been dedicated and extremely thorough on all the details. They kept the property tidy and resolved any issues that came along without our having to fret about it. We love our new home and cant recommend them highly enough!

Jamie is not your average contractor. He took over our post-Harvey rebuild when we cut ties with our previous contractor. There are bound to be challenges with any project, and Jamie handled them all professionally and with courtesy. Communication was easy and Jamie provided updates often. Would recommend.
