Craftsman Design and Renovation is a great and trustworthy company to work with. I've used them three times now for three separate major home renovations and would recommend them.

We have used them twice, and both experiences were great. They are reliable and very skilled. They do great work.

They have superior craftsmanship and regular communication. They're highly organized and timely with daily progress.

We cannot say enough good things about working with Craftsman Design. This was the 3rd or 4th job we have had them do at our house and it is always a pleasure to see them work their magic. We will always consider them as our first choice for future projects. Everyone from the design team through the sub contractors were wonderful and a pleasure to have around the house while they were doing the work.

I'd highly recommend CDR (and already have) to friends. Great quality work. Good people. Easy to work with.

Very fulfilling and engaging experience, overall

Very likely to use again as well as recommend. Experience was very professional from start to finish.

There are particular elements of the redesign that really set Craftsman apart from other groups. The hand built arch in the bathroom, the stairway posts are beautiful. It makes me want to call you back for more projects. The bathroom is beautiful, particularly the shower and tile work.

My wife and I were thrilled with Craftsman. Their construction work was excellent. The design staff were a great help in helping us create the kind of environment we wanted. Craftsman has our strongest endorsement. We would not hesitate to recommend them to any of our friends,

This is a definite “yes!” Such a wonderful group of talented people to work with.

This was my second major home project with Craftsman Design and Renovation. They are a great design company to work with from start to finish. I know that everything will be completed as promised, problems will be solved, and that I am working with a team of competent professionals. It feels like you have a team of friends working on your house and they are very invested in your satisfaction with the end product.

We knew of Craftsmen Design and Renovation through a good friend. When we wanted to add a wall of shelves, cabinets, and drawers to our living room, we called CDR. We were impressed by the high standards and expertise demonstrated by all members of the team. They captured our vision perfectly and created a functional and beautiful addition to our home.

I felt the like the overall process was excellent. The ability to set a price and schedule and be able to stick to it on a remodel project is rare (from what I hear from others and see in the commercial world). There were very few surprises and the team was a pleasure to work with during design and construction. And in the end we are very happy with the final product.

We appreciated the attention Craftsman gave to our needs as homeowners and their thoughtfulness throughout the project. Craftsman followed through with their commitments at every point in the project and each team member was easy to work with and trustworthy. Having people like that in our home made the entire renovation process easier. We would choose Craftsman again for any remodel project we might do.

Very professional and friendly. Also very responsive and easy to work with. We recommend them highly and will use them in the future.

Craftsman Design and Renovation were great to work with. They made every effort to make sure we had running water, toilet etc. so that we could to live in our home while construction was occurring. They were also excellent about scheduling subs and getting activities done on schedule.

I would absolutely recommend CDR. They have done a beautiful remodel on our home. They were professional and easy to work with and to problem solve with. The designers came up with a functional and beautiful design that fits our home.

We recommend CDR without reservation. From first meeting to project completion, the team has been amazing. Great skill, great communication, invariably reliable, on time, perfectionists, and caring, fun people to work with. The results exceed our hopes.

They are amazing. It is not cheap but the quality is fantastic. We are already planning our next project (or two) with them.

Most definitely. Overall a very positive experience. The entire team is dependable, knowledgeable, honest, and professional.

Working with Craftsman Design and Renovation was a pleasure from beginning design work to finished project. The old and new portions of our 1921 home blend together seamlessly with meticulous attention spent on each detail. The overall process from design to construction and final finish work was smooth and comfortable and the end result a joy. Everyone on the CDR team was responsive, helpful and always ready to answer questions and provide information. We may need to come up with another project just to work with CDR again!

I think of myself as a choosy client in that I am a stickler for details, and pride myself on being able to distinguish truly fine work from the usual, 'good enough'. It actually matters to me. The good news is that I am also very easy to please, requiring only that the contractor cares about his work. It is all too rare these days, but without sounding snooty about it, Craftsman easily exceeded my expectations.I've become accustomed over the years to making compromises when working with a contractor because I couldn't quite get the contractor over the bar...I've learned to (begrudgingly) accept work that is "pretty good". One of my least favorite things to do is to have 'the talk' with the contractor when the work isn't quite where it needs to be. Often, that's because the contractor has priced the job according to what he felt would be competitive, leaving him little latitude to spend the extra time to get it just exactly right. That was never the case with Craftsman. In each instance where I'd notice something that felt like it needed a bit more attention or a different approach, it turned out that Craftsman was always steps ahead of me, usually pointing it out to me before I even had a chance to mention it, and talking about what they felt would be the right solution. It was clear that we were in tune with respect to our expectations for a high quality job. The result is that there are none of those little issues that so often remain and that end up taking a little bit of the sheen off the finished job.

Craftsman listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve, and then came through with superb design, materials, and construction. It always felt like a collaborative process; they were not afraid to tell us if they thought our ideas were problematic, but if we felt strongly about anything, they worked hard to have the result match our vision. When there were hiccups (there always are) they always made it right, and they stayed with us throughout and after project completion to be sure we were completely satisfied. The results exceeded our hopes.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - Already discussed with them, but there were a few spots where communication or follow-through were not up their usual standards. That said, all concerns were addressed thoughtfully and appropriately.

The project came out super. Everyone likes it, even Craftsman.

From the design phase to the construction phase - the designer, the production manager and the lead carpenter kept me informed on a weekly basis of the work that was to be done. Any changes to that schedule - some of which were beyond the control of the contractor (such as a death in the family of one of the sub contractors) - I was notified about. The quality of the work on my project met the standard this company has established for itself.
