We have completed hundreds of home improvement projects in our twenty six years of business. Reach out by phone or visit our website to schedule a consultation. Thanks!

"Jeff had done beautiful work at my parents house so I was excited to use him for a kitchen remodel in my first home. He is always friendly, professional, and responsive. He can handle any kind of issue that may arise, such as the need to move an unexpected vent. For our kitchen he tore down a pantry closet and the soffit, installed new flooring, cabinets, backsplash, shelving, range hood, lighting. He has great recommendations and his attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend Jeff and his team for your project!"

EXPERIENCED BASEMENT REMODELING**Specializing and perfecting BASEMENT REMODELING for over 30 years!** You can trust in us! Family owned and operated spanning over three generations. We don't use subcontractors on our jobs, and I am personally there to work and oversee each and every job. We have our own licensed electrician and plumber, as well as a specialist in taping and mudding. We Pay Close Attention to Detail We believe that attention to detail and customer service sets us apart from our competition, allowing us to continue focusing on each client as if they were our only customer. We use metal studs in our framing work, and I will be happy to discuss with you why this should be the only framing material you should use in your basement. We recognize that our customers are making an investment in their homes, and it is very important to us that you have a good experience from the beginning to end. Not only professional and quality workmanship, but great customer service too.

"The name “Craftsman” is a stretch. My experience with this company was very disappointing. • The crew was careless — our basement was full of paint, and they didn’t bother laying down sheets to protect our brand-new vinyl floors. • They grabbed tools from our home (like push brooms) without asking and even washed their hands in our kitchen sink. • When asked to lay down a rug to protect the floor, they used a tiny piece that barely covered anything. • They expect prompt payment even while work is still pending. • When I couldn’t leave work for a final walkthrough, the owner showed up, got aggressive, and told my wife and child to go upstairs. Completely unprofessional. • They work very limited hours (roughly 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and don’t accommodate your schedule. • They left all their trash — filled up our garbage cans and left extra bags behind. • Their paint job was sloppy. They sprayed instead of rolling, missed tons of spots, didn’t tape anything, and got paint on outlet covers and other areas. They ended up giving us a $200 credit for the poor quality. • The contract is vague by design — he refers back to it later to say something “isn’t included.” Definitely read the fine print carefully. • Charged us an extra $3,500 for inspection delays, yet still demanded full payment before the inspection was complete. • Constantly asked for cash payments (I only paid by check). • Damaged our shuffleboard table by setting tools on top without asking. • Didn’t install quarter round on the trim and didn’t fill nail holes — just another lazy shortcut. • Claims to have 30 years of experience, but experience doesn’t mean quality or professionalism. David and Mike seem overall respectable, Larry is the issue. • Overall, they rushed through the job, missed small details, and admitted they didn’t think we’d check their work with proper lighting. Summary: Expect shortcuts, poor communication, and lack of respect for your property. Definitely not the level of quality or professionalism you’d expect from someone calling themselves a “craftsman.” Pricing is ok but keep looking as you can probably find a match with much better customer service"

"We had a great experience! Javier was onsite and hands-on with the project. He was also extremely responsive. He ensured everything was well coordinated and had his crew working around the clock to minimize the amount of time we had to be closed. I have had work done in my home that took months and this was an extensive remodel done in a couple days - amazing!! The workmanship was also top quality and Javier made sure we were satisfied with everything that was done. I would highly recommend!"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

A handrail should start at the bottom step's riser and extend to the top riser, continuing slightly beyond both the top and bottom steps if possible. A good rule of thumb is from the nosing of the upper landing to the nosing of the lowest step. This extra length provides better grip and safety when entering or exiting the staircase.

An aluminum attic ladder is considered stronger and, therefore, better than a wood attic ladder. This is because aluminum is a lighter-weight but durable material. It resists rust and corrosion, so it's unlikely to be affected by the fluctuations in humidity and temperature that are common in attic spaces. However, aluminum ladders tend to cost slightly more than wood ladders on average.

Regular cleaning, polishing, and ensuring no loose fasteners maintain both look and safety.

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.
