Additional Comments

Additional Comments - The experience with Custom Craft was second to none. Amazing contractors. Would highly recommend.

CC describes itself as a 'full-service' contractor and that is indeed the case. From initial design concepts, permitting, demolition, build, and final punch list they keep the project moving forward until completion. George, the founding owner, oversaw our basement renovation nearly 20 years ago. Based on that experience, we didn't hesitate to contact CC when we decided to do a complete gut of our existing kitchen and downstairs bathroom. Since the scope of the changes involved a considerable disruption to our normal routine, we were concerned about how expeditiously any unforeseen issues would be addressed and how the rigorously the safety and cleanliness of the work area would be maintained. Mike, George's son, supervised the project and uses the latest web-based project management tools to allow us to collaborate on every aspect of the project on a day-to-day basis.

In short, the project was finished on time and we kept our sanity through the whole process. The entire CC staff and even the sub-contractors were pleasant to deal with, but particular mention goes to CC's designer, Grace Arndt, and to lead carpenter Kory Remick. Their expertise and diligence were instrumental in achieving our goals.

We've completed two projects with Custom Craft: a kitchen renovation in 2015 and a laundry renovation in 2024. Overall, we are pleased with the design, and both the kitchen and laundry represent significant improvements over their previous states. We have enthusiastically recommended Custom Craft to our friends, and they did an exceptional job with renovating their kitchen. However, in our latest renovation of the laundry room, some minor details could have been handled with greater care. We found ourselves having to perform touch-up work, such as filling nail holes and repainting. Additionally, certain larger holes were left unfilled, and despite Custom Craft's attempts to balance the washing machine (with cardboard shims), it remained off-balance, resulting in damage to a nearby wall.

Due to our constrained budget, we opted for a vinyl tile floor. Unfortunately, it wasn't made clear during the selection process that this floor would simply rest atop the concrete, essentially creating a "floating floor." After living with it for a few weeks, we've noticed that it creaks underfoot and doesn't seem particularly durable. In hindsight, we regret not stopping the project to opt for solid tile flooring, had we known about this detail beforehand.

Venting the dryer posed significant issues. Pushing the dryer back resulted in a dented duct, causing condensation when the dryer operated. Custom Craft's repair fell short, and communication regarding the fix was lacking. During the final walk-through, we highlighted the issue, prompting a solution involving widening the vent hole and covering the drywall with a panel. We were told the patch would be of the drywall and not a panel covering the hole.

Reflecting on the project, we wish these issues had been resolved before the final walk-through. However, we've found ourselves managing them independently. We still need to address a large hole in the molding, find rugs to dampen the noise of the creaky tile floor, and properly fix the dryer vent patch. The exterior dryer vent will also need to be replaced since it is not properly attached and the color does not match the siding. I know projects have deadlines and costs associated with fixes—I wish I could say they went above-and-beyond to make the corrections look amazing but only the minimal was done. Despite these challenges, we appreciate Custom Craft's prompt response to our concerns and their overall collaboration throughout the project. While they are a great group of people, we hope that their follow-through on fixes will match the high level of craftsmanship we expect from them in the future.

We’ve used Custom Crafts for many projects in our last house and for our current home. We have ultimate confidence in their integrity, diligence on the job, and trustworthiness. Our lead carpenter, Kory couldn’t have been nicer. Very professional team to work with.

We met with numerous design/build firms, received bids from three, and Custom Craft was the only firm who's bid was inside our budget range.

Considering the size and cost of the job, this was about as painless as it could have possibly been.

We have already recommended Custom Craft to multiple people because they did an excellent job with every aspect of our project

We have used Custom Craft so to complete two major projects - a kitchen renovation and more recently an update to our hall bathroom. Custom Craft will remain a go-to for our larger home projects. They make the renovation process pretty seamless, from design to project completion. Encounters with all members of the team are always professional, friendly, and courteous. The work site is always kept as clean and organized as possible. Even issues - when they arise - are addressed promptly and satisfactorily. The Custom Craft team is great to work with, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to complete a home renovation project.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - I think I answered this with all the "5s." They exceeded my expectations.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Custom Craft! Everyone was thoroughly prepared, kept us informed at every stage of the process, was respectful of our time and our home...and the final product was even better than we expected. We are happy to recommend you to anyone and hope to be repeat customers ourselves!

Excellent craftsmen, treats job site like there own home

Would definite use custom craft again.

This is our third project with Custom Craft and we highly recommend them.

We have employed this firm several times over the 40 yrs. owning our home and would not hesitate to do so again. They are an outstanding firm by any measure.

This is our second time using Custom Craft Contractors. We absolutely love their work and have referred them to several of our friends who have also used them!

Schedule

Schedule - Even with all the supply chain issues, Custom Craft did a great job. We ended up a little behind schedule because our cabinets were stained the wrong color twice. But we had a fully functional master bathroom ontime, so I would say they kept on schedule

Budget

Budget - One of the things we appreciate most about Custom Craft is their attention to detain in the planning process. Our first project was right on budget. Our second project was slightly over because we needed to add a structural beam that was not anticipated. But overall it was a minor increase in price.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Commitment to construction timeline and daily hours of 7 am - 3 pm

Custom Craft is simply the best! We did a major first floor renovation two years ago, which included a completely new kitchen and mudroom, as well as changes to our family room. Those areas turned out amazing, so when it came the time to remodel our bathrooms, we obviously turned to Custom Craft again. Everyone on the team is professional, courteous, and the workmanship is excellent. The communication throughout the entire design and remodel process as well as the adherence to the schedule are fantastic. We will continue to use Custom Craft for all of our remodeling projects!

Excellent workmanship. Terrific customer service. Professional team.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - They have a blueprint for working with customers that works well and keeps everything organized.

Communication

Communication - They utilize Builder Trend to manage projects and this is also a primary method of communication. Phone calls were used as needed but Builder Trend seemed like the easiest way to communicate questions, schedules, issues, etc. (The tool also provides for selection and change order approvals, daily logs with photos, and invoicing; overall a great way to keep track of everything.)

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - I anticipated a much bigger mess, but thankfully it never happened. They cleaned up every single day they were here.

We couldn't be happier with how our kitchen turned out. The lead carpenter's work was top notch. Logistical details, site plans, and material ordering were handled ahead of the project start date which minimized stress while the work was completed. The job site was kept incredibly clean, and plastic barriers were set up to minimize disruption to the rest of our house. We're so happy with the finished product that we've already booked the renovation of our hall bathroom!

Overall, we are extremely happy with our bathroom remodel. We would highly recommend Custom Craft for a quality renovation.

Custom Craft Contractors did great work, were professional, and we could count on them. They listened to our concerns and helped us with extra things. They were more than accommodating when we wanted to add a backsplash to our project. They were great!

Friendly, thorough, and very skilled

Working with Custom Craft is by far the best experience we’ve had for home remodels. They are courteous, professional and the workmanship is excellent. Work doesn’t start until all materials are in and on both jobs they have done for us, they stayed firmly on schedule.

Budget

Budget - Given the excellent quality of the work some might not think their prices are competitive. However I believe there’s a price to pay for expertise and peace of mind and knowing that if there’s a problem they won’t hesitate to address it.

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - Even with complete remodels and redirection of plumbing and moving walls around, there was never any dust in other areas. Hard wearing treads were taped to cover and protect all floors and stairs.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Every last person that was involved in this project was super professional and friendly. I'd also like to add many contractors I've had working in my home needed their work double checked/corrected. I realized quite fast that the craftsmen from Custom knew what they were doing and were only going to do it at the highest level of quality. Custom Craft would be my very first choice for a future project.
