Rene has a beautiful family, is well respected by my family and friends, is reliable, and in my opinion would be an asset to any company for which he would work.

My experience with Rene has always been positive. Great service and attention to detail. Dependable.
Bryan Wesley
Assistant Project Manager at DE Harvey Builders
I was the Project Manager overseeing Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection systems for Harvey Builders (General Contractor) at 609 Main, a 50-story high rise in downtown Houston. We had Casteel Automatic Fire Protection on board as a subcontractor. After one of our project teams had a terrible experience with the timeliness and overall quality with that particular company, we had our concerns going into the project.
HOWEVER, Casteel placed Rene as their Project Manager, and he really came in and got it done! Rene is very professional, always very detailed and thorough in his questions or answers, and is very timely in providing information/material. Without a doubt, Rene was one of the main reasons Casteel was so successful for us on 609 Main.

In years past Rene worked directly under my supervision. He was an exemplary employee doing whatever was asked going beyond expectations. Though it has been many years since I worked with Rene I believe him to be a man of great character and dedication to his family and those he will associate.
