Kraft Built Inc

This patio door and screened in patio that was done by Kraft Built Inc. was amazing - the best price for the best quality of work. Just remember the old saying “you get what you pay for”. Do you want the best ? Then pay for the best. Kraft Built Inc. You want less than the best ? Then spend less money with someone else. Always remember you get what you pay for. Steven M

My experience with Kraft Built was amazing! From planning to completion, I was kept informed all throughout the project. I have had work done by other contractors and this was my best experience by far. Excellent communication, arrived on time and always kept me informed about the progress. They even followed up months after completion of the project to make sure everything was working properly. No one has ever done that before. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

The work was done in three days. John Kraft updated my kitchen. His work and the finished project is way beyond any of my expectations. He is a perfectionist. He had a good vision of how the kitchen would look with the updates and he carried it out without any complications. He worked with me to stay within my budget. The completed project is amazing. The work was done in a timely manner. I live in Palm Aire and all the kitchens are 40 years old. I have had different companies give me a cost estimate and have never felt comfortable with them doing the work. John Kraft is a trustworthy person that you can feel comfortable having him in your home. He tells you what he is going to do and does exactly what he says. I am so happy that I found him and now we are looking into updating my bathrooms which he does as well. My kitchen was transformed into a beautiful look by replacing the kitchen cabinet doors, laminating the cabinets, installing a new counter top, sink and backsplash.

john is a high end builder, with great ideas and design. My only concern was my budget and he could not provide me with a design within my budget. Very nice man, kept his appointments and if I had more $, I'd have allowed him to finish the job.

A few hiccups as are expected with any remodling project but John always made sure to keep me informed and went out of his way to be sure they were taken care of. 

We were so happy with John's work on the walls that we hired him for a bathroom remodel. He completed the work relatively quickly and we couldn't be happier about the work he did... very high quality. He has a great eye for detail and design. We wanted to do some of the work ourselves to save on the cost. Other contactors wouldn't take the job for that reason. John was willing to work with us and our budget.

John does amazing, high quality work. He took our damaged, formerly wallpaper walls and transformed them into what looked like new construction at a reasonable price.

Though this was a rather challenging job, John took on the challenge and fixed everything to code. It looks perfect.

The primary issues that I had was timeliness of service and lack of communication overall throughout the lengthy process.

John was excellent.  Everybody kept saying, they were too busy, somebody said they would go over but never did, and no one even would go over to look at it.  However, when I called John, he said he would go over and that he could fix it and he said he could fix it from the outside, because he went and looked at it otherwise I would have had to go up there because the renters were only moving in a week later.  He forgot to put the order in with the window-guy so he took $26 off the bill.  I gave him half of the payment of the window and he apologized, he said he forgot to call it in, and said he would do it the next day and he put it in on a Saturday.  After it was done, I went up and looked at it and it was great and then I paid him the other half.  Nobody even wanted to look at the job but he did, and he did great.  It was excellent quality work.  He was pretty quick to respond and he was very professional.  I need a door on my laundry room and I am going to give him a call and see if he is busy.  He told me he does everything.

The kitchen work was amazing. We had a 70s style kitchen - ceramic walls and countertops, a low roof, small doorway, etc.  John used his immense creativity and talent, and opened up the space - raised the ceiling, widened the doors, and created a real, usable breakfast bar.  Not only did he do the work, he also helped with the design and purchasing. He also helped select custom cabinets and appliances. His attention to detail helped transform the kitchen. It is now the most loved part of our house.
Similarly with the bathrooms - the spaces were unusual and small, and my design was a little crazy. John worked patiently with me in helping to improve the design. As with the kitchen, the workmanship was intricate and meticulous, and the bathrooms look marvelous.
On the roof, he was systematic and detail-oriented with respect to discovering and resolving the ventilation issue on the roof and overseeing the roof installation to make sure that it was performed correctly. 
John made the remodeling process painless taking care of every last detail (including working with plumbers and electricians and other subcontractors).  In addition to his excellent workmanship, we were impressed with his politeness, deep knowledge, and degree of cleanliness. Despite all the work going on in the house, there was never a sense of chaos or disorder. Only the best can make it look so easy!
I would highly recommend John on any remodeling project. We miss him! Our loss is Florida's gain.

John Kraft handled the project with his usual aplomb. He and his team were courteous and tidy, and worked to the highest standards. John is a perfectionist and demands nothing less from his employees. My only disappointment was that, unlike my first project with John in 2008-09, toward the end of this project, John largely moved to his next, leaving his employees to finish my job without very much supervision. They completed it well enough, but a little more input from John at the end would have been nice.

John and his team worked incredibly hard for about six weeks, often working seven days a week. Everything he said he'd do, John did. John was always available, either on site or via phone, to explain progress. John's prices were very reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending Kraft Built, Inc. to Angie's List members.

This is the nicest guy!  I called John on a Saturday with an emergency cabinet repair and not only did he answer his phone, but he showed up with a smile!  Totally professional, well groomed and polite...even my fussy dog liked him!  He tackled a challenging job with no complaints and was very fair with his price.  We intend to use him again, and have already recommended him to a friend.  We are very glad to have met John through Angie's List. Don't hesitate to give him a call!  AAA+

Cutting Edge Remodeling installed the hardwood flooring and matched it very nicely to our other hardwood. They did a great job. They showed up on time.

John's team was great: they cleaned up and were generally on time and finished the project to our satisfaction. We had no leaking in our house after the historic snow falls this past winter!!! We would definitely recommend him and use him again.

CER is very reliable and responsive to the customer's needs. This was a very, very extensive rehab because 30 years of leaking roof had left the house with very, very severe structural damage. CER took it in their stride and the final result is phenomenal. CER only made two mistakes during the entire period: (a) they tore out a rotten, non-code-compliant staircase before checking to see if the replica could be grandfathered in under the old code regulations and (b) they picked pretty bad painting subcontractors. On the stairway, this was too narrow for modern code compliance and CER took it out before checking to see if the replacement could be similarly narrow (because that was all there was room for). Eventually we got our way, but only after a battle with the city. As for the painters, well, we all make mistakes and I doubt CER will hire them again. As for everything else, it's just about perfection. I was particularly pleased with the kitchen cabinets that CER built from scratch. CER's attention to detail is great and, unlike many contractors, CER actually finishes ALL the items on the end-of-job punchdown list.

CER, John Kraft, completely renovated our rental row house in Baltimore. He performed a miracle on our house and has transformed it from a dump to a beautifully updated, modern space, working with us to create this on our budget. His advice always had our best interests in mind and he was always quick to return frantic calls. His workmanship and eye are fantastic and he completely understood our needs and concerns (i.e. cost and durability). Our project took longer to complete than anticipated, but John was honest in letting us know the reasons for delays. In the end, we got more than we had hoped for and in the long run we will have a great investment property because of his workmanship and attention to detail.

John was great to work with, he had great ideas and was very helpful in designing our new kitchen. He was on the job everyday and finished according to his schedule with days to spare. His price was very reasonable for the quality and craftsmanship he provided. He work with our electrician and HVAC contractors very well, obtained permits and handled all aspects of the job with any problems.
