  I absolutely LOVE how my chimney turned out! I'm sending pictures and recommending Guardian to everyone I know, including a contractor I talked to the other day! Guardian rebuilt my chimney from the roofline up. I was so nervous because of several bad remodeling experiences in the past, but not this time! Guardian is the absolute best! Everything went so smoothly! Talking to Joseph, the owner, over the phone, from the very start, was a very pleasant experience. I was able to send him pictures of my chimney, via my cell phone, and he got back to me within the hour with an estimate, and then he assured me that if the job went over the estimate, for any reason, he would pay for it out of his own pocket. Amazing! This was a one-day job. Joseph, came to the door at the start of the job to introduce himself. His team arrived on time, worked very hard all day long, and were very cheerful, polite, and respectful. The crew is a top-notch team. I'm still amazed at how well they matched the color and pattern of the brick to the lower part of my chimney - even the mortar matches perfectly! And there wasn't one piece of debris left in my yard! Those guys are priceless! Joseph, You run your company like no one else I know! This is the first positive experience I've ever had when having to hire someone to do construction on my home! Start to Finish, top-class experience! Thank you so muchshow more

  I was very happy with the professionalism and the fact that they use their own crews instead of subcontractors. I got the impression that they did everything right, not quick and dirty.

  Craftsman?s Choice is the best contractor I have ever worked with. My wife an I had the pleasure of working with Ben throughout our project. From start to finish Ben demonstrated his honesty, professionalism, and commitment to our project. The end result is amazing, the James Hardie product is beautiful, professionally installed and will last a lifetime. Out project consisted of removing original shake siding and brickwork on our St Louis Park house and garage. The Craftsman's Choice crew then replaced the siding with James Hardie lap and shake siding as well as added stonework to the front of the house. This was no small task, as expected with any projects, minor issues arose. Ben and his team went way above and beyond to address any issue that came up. This is the true test of any contractor, Craftsman?s Choice honestly impressed us every step of the way. I have never worked with a contractor with more integrity. When having James Hardie installed, it was important to us to have the project complete by a contractor who only installs Hardie. We made the right choice out of the few contractors serving the Twin Cities. If you are looking for a contractor who will do great work, on time, for a reasonable cost, on budget, with high integrity and professionalism ? hire Craftsman?s Choiceshow more

  We selected Craftsman's Choice on the strong recommendation of our perfectionist neighbor, who was satisfied with their work. During the project, I had numerous others stop by to tell me that they had used Craftsman's Choice, too, and were pleased with the service. We had extensive work done--a complete redo of the exterior of our home, which is now one of the best-looking houses in the neighborhood. I was completely satisfied with the work quality, professionalism, and particularly the character of Ben Juncker, who worked with us closely throughout the process. Ben understood that we lead busy lives and that he would have to take charge not only of his responsibilities of the project (employees, scheduling, etc.), but that he would have to be persistent in helping guide us through our decisions and to make it easy for us to do our part to keep the project moving along. In short, Ben was able to manage us as well as his employees. I had enough confidence in Ben's character and attention to detail to let him make certain selections, and we were not disappointed by doing so. In sum, I would hire Craftsman's Choice again, and have plans to do so for another project next springshow more

  They were very professional and prompt. I enjoyed having them work on my house. They were easy to work with and above all listened to me. Every night they would clean the site before they left for the day. The salesman, Mike Ziegler, was easy to work with and showed us lots of examples. We kept him busy because we were picky about how we wanted the house to look. We were also looking at another contractor but he wasn't listening to us and was going in a direction we were not happy with. Mike gave us an amazing reference list that was probably 20 pages long with addresses and descriptions of their past projects. This was very helpful to us especially in choosing color for the siding. Their reference list would tell what color was put on different houses and we could drive to those locations and look at the color. That proved to be more useful than looking at the tiny colors in the brochure. Jeff Witt, was the project manager who kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. He coordinated all of the contractors (stonework, carpenters, windows, insulation, etc.). There were some other things that we needed done (electrical and gutters) that they also lined up for us and we paid those contractors separately. This was a big project for us and we changed our mind on things during the process. They were flexible enough to accommodate our wishes. When the project was done Jeff and I had a final walk through to make sure I was completed satisfied with the results. I appreciated that. We made 3 payments to them, an initial payment to start the project and order the windows, a second payment halfway through and the last payment after the final walk through. I was very pleased with the outcomeshow more

  Keith came out to meet with us several times to inspect our property, prepare his bid, and go over the proposal with us. He was very thorough, professional and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He stood out compared to the several other bids that we got. The team came out and did an outstanding job taking out the old, rotting trim and replacing it with new product. They primed the wood on all sides (a very important step that some people miss and will cause problems down the road) and installed it very efficiently. We painted the trim ourselves. They accidentally cracked a window when they were working (it's a 90 year old house, we weren't surprised) and offered to replace it at no cost to us. They are a stand-out company in terms of price, quality and professionalism, definitely use them--we will certainly continue to do so. Finally, we had them install a new front door that we purchased and stained ourselves. They did a great job and their price was better than any bid we got. 5 starsshow more

  CCI was great to work with. They know their stuff and the work is quality. We love our new home exterior. They were in the middle of the pack for quotes, and I arranged for the masonry and plumbing work, but they arranged everything else. No monetary overage occurred. Jeff is an amazing project manager. He is the definition of "Git r Done." I will say that I had to project manage a few times to push for dates and updates, but all in all, it all got done and it got done well. Do not hesitate; use CCIshow more

  Our old garage was literally sinking into the ground, so we new we needed to replace it. We shopped around for years and ultimately got a bid from Craftsman because they had done such great work with other window and woodworking projects we've had. They came in at about the same price as two of our other lowest estimates, but with higher quality materials (HardiePlank instead of vinyl siding, etc) and we knew that they take pride in their work and were easy to work with. So we went with them. They tore down the old garage, laid the new foundation and framed it up in 2 weeks--it was lighting fast. After that, there was a bit of a delay in getting the siding up and finishing the project, but overall it was inordinately fast, about 4-5 weeks until final inspection, and all of our neighbors were surprised by the speed, quality and professionalism of the crew. The final product is beautiful, they are one of the best companies in the country for installing HardiePlank, the garage is extra tall, with an 8 foot tall door, 2x6 construction, plenty of storage room, and everything that we wanted. We had a fence that connected to the old garage and Craftsman even took care of moving the door and a panel to make it work with the new garage (larger footprint), as well as removing a bush to make a new path along side the garage. They took care of all the little details and didn't nickel-and-dime us, they just looked at it as one project that they wanted to do to our complete satisfaction, and they did so. We will definitely keep using them for any project they'll do and strongly recommend them. We have used a lot of contractors over the years to work on our old house, and they are the best in terms of a combination of quality/professionalism/priceshow more

  The project took less than a month and seemed to go quickly. As to be expected a big project like this, there were a few bumps in the road, but the company was repsonsive and kept me apprised of what was happening. All the associated sub-contractors and employees were easy to work with. The total cost was towards the upper end of my price range, but the materials and workmanship appear to be of top quality and I feel I got my money's worth on the projectshow more

  We selected Craftsman's Choice based upon reviews on the James Hardie WEB site and reviews on Angie's List. We contacted the company and Ben came to our home to discuss the project and give us a quote. Ben was very personable and explained the work and answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. Ben gave us a list of customers in our area and we looked at several of the homes to evaluate the work appearance and quality. The work was started as scheduled and took a little longer than planned due to weather issues. A project manager (Chris) was assigned to our job and he was knowledgeable and professional. A 3 person crew was assigned to do the siding, soffit, fascia, door and window wrap work. The same crew (Eric, Rick and Bennie) worked dally until the work was done (about 3 weeks). We were impressed with their work and their professional skills. They answered all of our questions that arose during the work process in a direct and pleasant manner. The stone work was performed in 1 day by a separate crew from a subcontractor. The stone work was done to our satisfaction and looks very nice. The painting was performed about a week after the siding completion (to allow for the caulking to cure) in one day by a crew of 3 people. Ben had noted that there was some rotting wood around 4 of our windows and said that when the siding was torn off that they would evaluate what needed to be done. It was determined that the windows needed to be removed to repair the damage. Ben did not pressure us but proposed replacing the windows rather than reinstalling the old (20 year old) windows. We chose to replace the windows and that was done after they arrived in 1 day by a crew of 3. This crew was different that those that did the siding but were also very knowledgeable and professional. Overall, the house looks great and we are very pleased with the results of the work performed by Craftsman's Choice. We believe that they gave us a fair price and just took care of a number of minor things that came up during the process without charging us for each and every item. Everyone that worked on our home was personable, highly skilled, and professional. We enjoyed interacting with them as the work progressed. We would have liked to have a little more pro-active communication from them during the various work steps to keep us informed about pending deliveries and starting dates for the various work steps. We discussed this concern with Ben (one of the company owners) during a follow-up visit and he said they were growing rapidly as a company and planned to improve on this communication work. Everyone (neighbors, friends, and relatives) that has seen our home has commented on how nice it looks and our neighbors were particularly impressed with the crew's daily clean-up to keep the home as neat and tidy as possible during the work process. We would highly recommend Craftsman's Choice to anyone that wanted siding and related work performed on their homeshow more
