Craftsman Builders Inc.

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

Larry and his crew were very professional. I appreciated his suggestions which made the job even better. He was always here when he said he would be and the finished basement is beautiful.

We really enjoyed working with Craftsman Builders and are extremely pleased with our newly finished basement. Larry, Dave, and Mike did a fantastic job - start to finish - to make sure that we were happy and involved in the process. They finished our basement in less than a month, and it exceeded our expectations. They were extremely professional and knowledgeable. In addition to their work in the basement, they provided helpful suggestions as we picked out paint and flooring. They worked within our budget, and Larry was extremely communicative during the entire process. We highly recommend Craftsman Builders and will hire them again for future projects.

Remodeled Basement

Craftsman Builders Inc. did a great job! We now have a clean and inviting space for entertaining at home.

Larry and his team were absolutely the best. We had some repair work that needed to be done as well as electrical and installation of a bathroom with tiling and plumbing. Larry is VERY good with communication before, during, and after the work was completed. He and Dave went over and above what we expected and were extremely competitive with pricing for us. They even went so far as to fix some issues that only added to our enjoyment of our new basement and bathroom. We had a terrible experience with a former contractor and were a bit shy about hiring another but I am so glad we did! From top to bottom, they performed like professionals and completed the project in exactly the time they specified. I will hire these guys any day of the week and would recommend them to others in a heartbeat.

It went great. Larry and his two sons came in, were very professional an did a great job. They finished a few days earlier than they thought as well. I would recommend Larry and Craftsman Builders to anyone, they were great!

Larry and his team did a great job! Showed up every day they committed to, were efficient, friendly and easy to work with. Larry is a straight shooter! He communicates throughout the process and makes every effort to accommodate the homeowner's needs. We are really pleased with the outcome of his work.

We had a month to build an apartment from scratch. Larry and his team did it, and we have gotten tons of compliments on it. I could never have imagined we’d go from an overstuffed basement to a beautiful, cozy home in so little time. The pictures don’t do it justice

We had a month to go from cement walls to a living space. Larry and team made it happen. They went above and beyond with things like metal studs for the walls, extra insulation and maximizing the space we had available. They even fixed the gouges we caused in the outer wall (bringing in some appliances) I love that they are a family business too...and work with other family businesses. I'd definitely hire them again.

The basement remodel went great! Larry and his team were quick and professional. They even suggested a change to our original plan that saved us a ton of space!! 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

Larry and his team are extremely professional. The job required complicated electrical, plumbing, closet demolition work. We had spoken to other contractors as well and none were even nearly as knowledgeable as these guys. Larry knew we needed the work done quickly and got the job done in 2 weeks. He was always available by phone or text and answered all questions promptly. They cleaned everything up right away and offered to come back if we had any issues. These guys do great work and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I will be hiring them again for any future jobs!!

It went really well, they're very good. Good quality work, they finished on time and on budget.

It was absolutely perfect. We also need work upstairs and we will call them. They were so precise and so clean. Everything was clean and that's what impressed me the most. I also referred them to my neighbors. They were very respectful. They gave us a great deal.

Everything was great. He was professional. He did everything I asked him to do.

When I called Craftsman Builders, I asked for an estimate on the bathroom. I discussed the finacial situation to Larry. After he inspected the bathroom, he called me back promptly on June 23 and I agreed on the price on $2,900. He started the job June 28 and finished July 6. The total cost ended at $3090. The plumber ran into some unexpected problems so I paid to have walls painted. Craftsman Builders did a beautiful job. Very promt, particular with his work, and respectful. Cleaned up after each day's work. I felt very comfortable with his crew. Can't say enough about how proud I am about the new bathroom. Beautiful job.

I called them on a Saturday looking for a contractor to complete some work quickly. They made themselves available that day and finished the work that day. I wouldn't expect that responsiveness all the time, but it was certainly nice in this case. The work was completed flawlessly and it was a pleasure having them in my home. I would definitely use them again.
