Wood Stairs and Railings - Install or Replace

Kris and his team did excellent work. They rebuilt wooden stairs leading up to our deck, framed and installed a screen door, and installed a hood vent over the kitchen island They were always on time, courteous, and communicated well.

Deck or Porch - Build or Replace
Yes, I recommend this pro
Kris replaced a deck and 2 years later cleaned and re-stained it. I thought the price for the clean/re-stain was a bit high, so we negotiated, and I am happy with the final price and the work. Also, I needed a plumber in a hurry and Kris sent someone over quickly. All the people who work for Kris have been pleasant to work with, and Kris is easy to communicate with. I will use him for other projects.

We hired Kris to do a significant amount of renovation to a newly purchased home. He did a great job with the work that his crew performed themselves (the vast majority), and when specialists were needed, recommended companies/people that also did great work. We've got a bit more to do next year, and we'd definitely use him again.

Kris and his team have replaced a deck, cleaned and repaired gutters, and done several repairs for me. The quality of his work is excellent. Kris does an outstanding job of communicating the status of the project. And he is both responsive and reliable, which are rare traits in this business.

Bathroom - Remodel

Kris was very easy to work with, and flexible when we had to make minor changes to the project mid-stream. Our tiny bathroom remodel was not without its challenges, but Kris always found ways to make everything fit, and did so at a reasonable price and with excellent care and craftsmanship. Kris and his crew were really good about communicating with us throughout the process to let us know what they were working on and what we should expect in terms of timing, noise level, mess potential, etc. My wife was pretty uncomfortable at the notion of having strangers in the house, particularly when neither of us was home, but Kris and his team were very professional and immediately put us both at ease. If I had to dock Kris for anything it would be that the initial contract was scant on details regarding the work that would be performed, and exactly who would be responsible for what. However, when I pressed for greater detail he was happy to comply. I would hire Kris again in a heartbeat.

Exterior Trim - Repair
Yes, I recommend this pro
Our trim/siding - gutters were in desperate need of repair - Kris and his company came out and wrapped the trim/repaired/painted gutters/painted the siding. It was amazing. During the horrific wind storm that Michigan had in the winter, NOTHING came undone. There were a lot of things flying from other homes, but our stayed in tack. It looks like a new house after all the work he has done it. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. He is very professional as is his employees. He makes sure that you are completely satisfied with the outcome of the project and communicates with you every step of the way. You will not go wrong using this contractor.

Kris has actually completed a variety projects for me. He pulled out and replaced existing tile and hardwood in my foyer, hallway and kitchen with new tile. He also pulled out existing tile in my family room and laundry room and replaced it with engineered hardwood. He also made a number of repairs, e.g., new soffitt, tree pruning, new range installation, etc. He can do just about anything! I learned about Kris from good reviews on Home Advisor, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I first hired him to do some remodeling work at my office. It involved moving a wall to expand office space and everything else that entailed, i.e., drywall, painting, some electrical, flooring, etc. He also installed some shelving in our storage room. We were in a bit of a hurry, so Kris and his crew came in and completed the job over a weekend and did a fantastic job, which is why I hired him to do the projects at my house. Kris and his crew are professional, friendly and kind and the quality of their work is outstanding. Whenever a problem or issue arose, Kris was able to come up with a perfect solution. He and his crew spent several weeks working at my house, during what turned out to be a very trying and emotional time for my family, and their solicitousness and empathy for us while they were doing their work were heartfelt and much appreciated. I was also extremely pleased with their kind accommodation of and concern for my husband, who was ill at the time. I would without hesitation, highly recommend Kris and his crew for any type of project you may be considering. You will not be disappointed.

Bathroom - Remodel
Yes, I recommend this pro
This is the third major project Kris has done for us. He did our kitchen 3 years ago and it completely changed our house for the better. It went from being a place you had to be to a place you want to be. He also did a raised deck for us last year and its excellent. This time he did our main bathroom tore it completely out and rebuilt it from the ground up. We are extremely happy with the result and with Kris and Brandon's dedication to doing it right. Kris knows exactly what he's doing and he doesn't cut corners. An outside supplier messed something pretty major up on an order and Kris went to bat for us to make sure it was done right. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any home improvement work you need done, we will definitely be calling him again.

If your looking for someone to work on your home, then you have come to the right place. I cannot say enough good things about Kris and his crew. This is the second time I used them for a major reconstruction. As I mentioned before, I have not used outside help because of the experience I had with a contractor about 25 years ago. The shower that contractor installed, failed (leaking) so I called Kris. He did a great job with my laundry room so why not have him look at my shower and see what can be done. Kris said that the only way to properly fix the problem was tear out and replace. I kind of had that feeling even before Kris showed up so that was not a surprise. My only concern was a glass block outside wall of the shower (only source of light in that bathroom). I wanted it to stay and avoid replacing. Kris and his crew accomplished everything as I wanted. I have a beautiful shower (my wife is great at design) and Abdo did a great job on the install. Having done a lot of construction these past 25 years, I knew a bit about what can and cannot be done. Also, I am one of those nosy people and so I was constantly checking on everything. If I thought, they were doing something wrong or taking short cuts, I would have spoken up. I can say that never happened. I would question things that I was not familiar with, and Kris or Abdo were happy to provide a satisfactory answer. If you are one of those that has no clue about construction, you can feel confident with Kris. It appears to me that his goal is to do the job once and right the first time. You cannot ask for more.

Drywall - Repair
Yes, I recommend this pro
$1,300
The project involved the repair of ceiling and wall drywall damage in an office near a bay window caused by a leaking roof. We had used KrisKratf previously for another project and were aware of the high quality of work performed. Kris and his crew did an outstanding job repairing the drywall. They moved all furniture and décor and cordoned off the area to minimize dust. They replaced the old insulation, provided an improved framing to support the ceiling work, installed the drywall, applied mud, sanded and painted. When complete, they returned all the furniture back to its proper location and left the house dust free. Miraculously, they accomplished all this in a day and a half. A job well done.

Basement - Remodel

Kris was hired to rectify and a complete wine room project that was initiated and then abandoned by a previous contractor. The project for Kris included the construction of an appropriately insulated wall, repair of some drywall damage, and removing and reinstalling the ~$5000 professional wine room door that had been incorrectly installed by the previous contractor (not level, sidelight put in backwards, profession trim with big screw holes, a screw sticking through the frame, etc.). The project was extra challenging as it involved removing a door that had been incorrectly glued into place and supported by poorly designed rough in construction. Kris devoted significant effort to investigating and planning this project. He held onsite discussions with talented colleagues and spoke on several occasions to the manufacturer of the wine room door. Kris and his crew did an outstanding job and salvaged the door with only minor damage to the threshold. With his guidance we purchased some replacement trim so the finished product no longer had visible screw holes. He did a perfect job on the wall construction and the drywall work. We were so impressed with his work we asked him to complete the installation of the wine racking, crown and baseboard moldings, and low voltage lighting. He gave us a gorgeous chilled wine room that is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship to behold and admire.

Kris Kraft has been our contractor for renovations and maintenance of all kinds, inside and outside, major and minor, on a large house that, although it was well built, has suffered from some neglect and misguided amateur projects. Over more than ten years Kris has trenched and waterproofed the underground part of the house, repaired water-damaged rooms, installed a deck and walkways, remodeled a kitchen and all three bathrooms, supervised roofing repairs, winterized and painted, and carried out extensive work in preparation for a wedding at our house. He is reachable, responsible, and reliable. And he is a craftsman who takes great pride in his work. People like us who have no talent for making detailed remodeling decisions can hand them over to Kris with confidence that the results will be just what we need, and that they'll look terrific.

Kris and his team rebuilt our front porch. They provided quality work within his projected time frame. Kris patiently worked with us when we asked for a change from the original design. The results exceeded our expectations. He will be my first call for any future project.

Kris did a laundry room/bath extension/ remodel. Our old laundry/bath was partially in what would have been a third car portion of a garage. Kris ripped out the old laundry/bath and extended it into the garage taking up the entire space of a "third car". I only had him do the roughing in (up to drywall work). He did an excellent job and in a timely manner. He put up new walls and joists, rough plumbing/electrical and most importantly insulation. I would not be hesitant to hire Kris again. This is coming from someone who has not hired a contractor in 25 years because of a bad experience with someone else. Kris has restored my faith in humanity. There actually are good contractors/workers out there. I would also like to compliment Kris's team. They did a great job and always showed up. I am keeping Kris's phone number on my smart phone. Since I am getting up in years it is becoming more difficult to do some jobs. I will be calling Kris for those jobs. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone looking for a remodel.

Disability Ramps - Build
Yes, I recommend this pro
$4,300
Kris did a wonderful job designing and building a disability ramp. He asked us for input throughout the process, and created a design that worked beautifully with the house entrance. The final product was a ramp with a gradual incline that has made wheelchair access to the house so much easier. He also designed and built a smaller ramp to allow for access to the deck. Kris worked out an expedited schedule for us, at our request, and was still done 2 days early. Very reasonable fees, a great work ethic, thoughtful design and execution, and he was in constant communication with us. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
