I can not rave enough about City Cottage Builders. My husband and I bought our house from them just…read morea few months ago. Marc and Pat are such a pleasure to work with!! First off, they are great at what they do. When we had our inspector come inspect the house, he was very impressed with their work. He even asked us for their business cards after he finished the inspection. I think that is a very good sign that we got a high quality house. Second, we had issues with our bank getting the mortgage done on time which pushed our closing date back a week. However, Marc and Pat let us do a temporary lease for basically nothing, so that we could go ahead and move into our house. They knew that we had already had movers scheduled for the day after we were supposed to close along with furniture and appliances being delivered that weekend as well. They also had a nice house warming gift for us when we moved in as well. Lastly, even after we closed on the house, they have been very responsive. Anytime that we have had a concern or issue about the house, Marc has sent someone to check on it either the same day or the next day. I have heard from a lot of friends that after they close on the house, it is next to impossible to get any kind of response from their builder, but this is definitely not the case with Marc. Buying a house is such a big decision. When we decided on our house, I couldn't help but wonder if we made the right decision. After working and getting to know Marc and Pat, I can confidently say that I am very happy with the decision we made. Not only did we get a wonderful house, but it always feels great to do business with good people.

As a real client of City Cottage Builders, I can confirm that their product is top of the line…read more Here are some of the reasons why we bought our house from them: 1) the quality of the materials they use is outstanding and they do not cut corners like many builders do 2) they have a strong focus on preserving the neighborhood's charm (not like the other builders in the area) and are respectful to the community and its residents 3) floor plans are well thought to fit any type family 4) their designs are traditional yet with many contemporary accents 5) most of the contractors that work with them have been around for +10 years, this not only tells how experienced the crew is but also, what is the likelihood for contractors to stay loyal for so long to a builder?? They must be doing something very good treating their people. Overall we are really happy with our home and with the whole experience with Marc and his team.

I will be forever grateful I would 100% recommend New Slate Properties.

HIGHLY recommend…read more Let me start by saying that this experience has been nothing but fantastic since the very beginning. My husband and I wanted to remodel our shower and replace the tile in our (tiny) master bathroom, and we were really anxious about finding a good, reputable contractor that wasn't going to price us through the roof. We came across Lotus's Yelp reviews and were really blown away by the reviews and the pictures. I contacted Cindy, and she responded within minutes and was out at our house within 48 hours to give us a quote. Cindy has been exceptional with communication on all fronts. We always knew who would be in our house, and we always had a good time frame on everything. We are so impressed with everything that Lotus brought to the table... competitive pricing, a compassionate & communicative PM/Owner, extremely kind workers (Hugo and Jose are awesome!!) and a timeline that couldn't have been beat. Thank you for everything, Cindy! We'll be calling you with any other future projects.

We recently hired Lotus to complete a renovation of our 1972 home that we had just purchased. We…read moreactually found them via yelp, and were a little nervous hiring a company without any direct referrals. We had no reason to be! From the beginning, Cindy was communicative and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Our scope of work involved moving walls, and a complete gut of our kitchen, living areas and dining room. I have to admit that when Cindy estimated a 3 month turnaround (including inspections) we had our doubts. She proved us wrong - our project was complete and ready for us to move in two weeks early! We were very impressed with all of the subcontractors and the work done. Our home was treated with care the entire time. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean our house was kept, even during demo! During each phase, Cindy and Jose guided these first time renovators through each decision, and came up with creative solutions when the unexpected came up. Any issues were quickly resolved, even when it was simply us changing our minds. The only cost increases we encountered were items that we decided to add. They say that in construction you can choose two - on budget, on time, or good quality. Lotus delivered all three! We highly recommend Lotus for your next project!

I worked for this company and I can tell you firsthand that it is a very shady practice and their…read moremethods of acquiring clients are very, VERY predatory. The company downloads thousands on thousands of phone numbers from an online database and sends unsolicited calls to anybody they can early as 8 AM (even calling businesses and renters on holidays) in order to rope in clients by offering a special free estimate (which is standard practice). If you do choose to accept the free estimate, they will try to overcharge and upsell you on any sort of home remodeling projects you're considering due to the small size of the company. From a worker's point of view, the company will hide information on the jobs you confirm and will threaten your job security once a week if you do not get 2 potential jobs per day. This unfortunately leads to the harassment of many Houston citizens through desperate callbacks for months on end and even giving misleading information about the company's status with the Better Business Bureau. There are cockroaches and bugs living throughout their showroom and the owner, contractors, and most of upper management do not speak English as well. All in all, this company is very unorganized yet uncomfortably persistent when it comes to finding clients and will often overcharge clients who are in desperate need remodeling and do not have time or resources to find a second opinion. If you do come in contact with them or happen to receive an unsolicited call, I strongly suggest finding another contractor to save you from a headache/wasting your time. I would even make sure to block the number because they will not stop calling if you don't.
