Just finished a kitchen remodel with CJ Cranton Construction and I am so thrilled with the result.     Courtney really cares about his clients and what they want.   He takes the time to offer suggestions and work with you to make sure you end up with your dream kitchen.   And that is exactly what I got.    Courtney knows the right way to do things and he won't cut corners.  
His bid was very detailed and spelled out exactly where the money was going including any optional activities so you can custom tailor the project based on your budget.
All his subcontractors are very skilled and professional and the whole  job was run very smoothly.   I will be using him for my bathroom remodel too.

We hired C.J. Construction as a general contractor for our project. Overall, it went great with some small hiccups, but the important thing is that Courtney and his team fixed most of these issues.
The estimate fit our budget (as opposed to some rather outlandish quotes we got earlier) and during the initial interview it seemed that Courtney understood what we wanted very well, explained what needed to be done and was flexible to have us do some things ourselves, and these were the main reasons to hire him and his team. In addition to that, he could start fairly quickly, though they seem to be much busier now than they were a couple of months ago.
The overall quality of work was very good. We are especially happy with the way front of our house looks. All rough inspections passed with no issues (we are still waiting on final inspections.)
The small issues we had with them were mostly related to some difficulty keeping the scheduling of subcontractors tight, which added several weeks to the project (but in all fairness Courtney could not do much about that), and in some cases we needed to tell them explicitly to fix some minor issues with caulking and painting (both on the inside and outside) which we thought they would notice and fix themselves. However, Courtney tried to do his best to make us happy and sent his guys to fix even things which should have been fixed by subcontractor who did the original work. 
What we especially liked was that his guys picked up a couple of small things we needed to be done but that were not a part of the original contract (for example, we installed hardwood floor ourselves just before they installed baseboards, and they fixed a couple of issues around that), and his prices for these were very fair.
We would definitely work with C.J. Construction in the future and recommend them to friends and neighbors

I'm a single woman and I was concerned about being taken advantage of when it came to service and pricing. No problem with CJ Cranton Construction! It went great and my money went a lot further than I had anticipated. I missed seeing most of the action because I have a job that keeps me busy from 8:00 till 5:00, but I felt totally comfortable with the guys working at the house while I was at the office. The concrete demolition turned out to be a real workout because sections of it near the garage were over a foot deep! The sub-contractor who did the stucco did a fine job and was friendly and fast-working. He took care that none of the plants near the house were damaged. The fellow who put in the new garage doors and opener was fast, efficient, and personable. Courtney, his crew, and his subcontractors did a great job from start to finish. I highly recommend this company and plan to hire them in the future as I proceed with improvements on my home.
