We have known Derek for over ten years and have hired him for several projects in our home. Six years ago Craft completed a repair of a porch post. Recently Derek was driving by our house and noticed a problem with that post. Standing behind his work, he replaced the post for us at no cost. We could not be happier with his follow-through and craftsmanship.
I had a great experience with Craft Design + Build LLC. The team was professional, friendly, and delivered outstanding workmanship. They communicated clearly throughout the project, completed everything on time, and paid attention to every detail. The final result exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality remodeling and construction services.
We recently worked with Craft Design + Build on a kitchen renovation and were very satisfied with the overall experience. We chose this firm for its integrated approach, which simplified the process and was particularly valuable for our busy family. The team was consistently professional, courteous, and responsive. They remained patient and collaborative as we clarified our budget, requested adjustments, and refined design choices. During the build phase, the JobTread app made communication straightforward and kept us informed of progress and next steps. Danielle, our Project and Design Coordinator, provided steady guidance throughout the entire project, while Alex, our Project Manager, oversaw the construction with incredible attention to detail and a clear commitment to quality and cleanliness. We are very pleased with the finished kitchen. It aligns well with the character of our 1920s colonial home while providing the functional improvements we needed. The workmanship from each trade was excellent and reflects a high standard. Thank you Craft!
When you finally make the decision to have work done on your house, the next decision that you need to make may the hardest and possibly the most consequential decision that you will ever have to make….. choosing the contractor(s) who will do the work for you. We have all heard the contractor nightmare stories from our friends and neighbors. They did their research and things still went sideways. So, you do your research and hope for the best. But the purpose of this review is to tell you that you need to look no further than CRAFT Design and Build. They are not a huge shop, nor are they a small shop, but rather they are just the right size where they can still pay attention to all the details and tackle any size job that you might have. They expanded our kitchen and added a bedroom/bathroom/closet addition to the main floor of the house, and we could not be more pleased with the way everything turned out. From the early design process through each step of the way, it was a very collaborative relationship. But I think a key test of a good general contractor is the sub-contractors that they employ and what they say about each other and about CRAFT. When the carpenters tell you that the foundation was spot on, and the sheet rockers tell you that the framing was perfect, and the plumbers and the electrician’s comment about what a great job the painters and the tile guys did, then you know that the job is being done well. Most importantly, ALL of the trades had good things to say about working with CRAFT, which for me I think, was the best endorsement anyone can give. We have gotten countless compliments on the new kitchen and bedroom and I have recommended Derek and Corey and the rest of the CRAFT team to everyone without hesitation. Stop your searching and call CRAFT now. You will not be disappointed.
I worked with Derek & Danielle who both provided in depth detail about their services. They came to me highly recommended and I too highly recommend these state of the art professionals that are leaders in the industry.
