  He did a great job and worked very hard! He saved our roof rafters in our attic and created a new opening in the hallway ceiling. He carefully caulked all of our exterior windows and doors, washed & painted the exterior, installed a new gutter and drain pipe, just to name a few items... Very flexible in working with me on decisions as to what repairs were needed inside and outside of the house. Very relational and friendly. Really cares about his workshow more

  We are so pleased with our recent garage siding and exterior home painting project completed on our 1947 cape cod in St. Louis Park. From our first interaction with Keith at the State Fair, to our final walk-through with Ben, we knew we were dealing with professionals who had our best interest and satisfaction set as priorities (thank you to Ryan, Cyndal and the rest of the team also!). They gave us a fair price from the beginning without a long, dragged out sales pitch and promised quality and attentiveness, which they delivered on every step of the way. It's now such a joy to come home to our beautiful house each day! We are very happy we chose Craftsman's Choice and we highly recommend their services. There are many options out there, so we are thankful to have finally found a first choice for our home improvement needsshow more

  We received three bids for contractors to re-side our house with fiber cement siding, and decided on Craftsman's Choice - the middle bid - as they seemed to have the best balance of professionalism/experience and price. I was also intrigued to see, in the sales presentation, how they could put a "creative" touch on the house by adding custom features such as shutters and gable pieces. I wanted that done for our house, and they ended up including those features for free in the quote. They also gave us quotes for either replacing our soffits/fascia with Hardie material, or covering them with aluminum, but told us that our existing wood soffits/fascia were in good shape and did not need to be replaced - so we opted to paint them instead. Craftsman's Choice asked for a quarter of the payment when the contract was signed, a quarter when the project was started, and the balance upon completion of the siding installation, which seemed reasonable. They started work about two weeks after the initial signing of the contract. We had a minor problem when they delivered the materials to our driveway the Friday before they started work. I had noticed that there was a rip in the bag that covered the siding, and strong thunderstorms were predicted that weekend. I had read that fiber cement siding could have problems if it got wet before installation, so my husband called and they said they would send someone over to throw a tarp over the materials. They did, but the tarp was ripped and not secured, so the top few pieces of siding got wet from the rain that weekend. When they started work on Monday, we talked to the owner, who said that wet siding that had been let out to dry was acceptable per manufacturer's instructions, and shouldn't affect our warranty. But they would be willing to discard the wet pieces if we wanted. The crew came out to install the siding for the entire work day, every weekday (except for one rainy day) until it was completed a week and a half later. In the meantime, the plumber came and replaced our exterior faucets. The Friday of the first week of work, they had finished the work by the air conditioner and turned it back on before they left. The air conditioner did not function all weekend, and we couldn't figure out why. The following Monday, they sent an A/C repairman over to look at it. He found out a fuse (?) in the A/C unit had been tripped during the work, and flipped it back, which caused the A/C to resume function. Craftsman's Choice covered the cost of having the A/C repairman come over. There was a couple week lag between the completion of the siding installation and the arrival of the painting crew. Before the painters came over, a representative walked with us around the house and made notes about what we wanted painted what color. The painters, by default, go over all of the pre-painted Hardie trim just to make sure any nail heads, etc get covered - so you can elect to have trim kept the trim color or painted to match the house. After the painting crew was finished, we had a final walk-through to sign off on the project and have any minor problems corrected. We didn't find any, but the representative who walked around with us found a few minor things to improve. On one of the final walk-throughs, we went up on our roof and found a place by the chimney where the shingles had failed. We hired one of the Craftsman's Choice workers to repair the damage, using some spare shingles from our garage. Our siding looks great, and has held up well the first year after installation. A portion of the rear side of our house had a very large mound of snow pressed up against it for most of the winter, but there was no noticeable damage to the siding in that area. We had one problem near our front door where a gutter leaked and dripped ice down the side of our house, right over a seam between two pieces of siding. The water froze and expanded, swelling the ends of those two pieces. Once we noticed the problem, called Craftsman's Choice and told them about it, and they came out a week later and replaced both of those siding pieces under warranty. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of work and attention to detail from Craftsman's Choice. I would not hesitate to recommend them or hire them again in the future. We did encounter a few problems, as described in my review, but they were all resolved easily, a testament to their focus on customer serviceshow more

  I had bids from seven contractors and they offered the best price with the best materials. I wanted a very durable material for the deck and porch, which they were able provide. Overall, they did a good job but were probably busy which is why I gave them a B for responsiveness.

  Craftsman?s Choice is the best contractor I have ever worked with. My wife an I had the pleasure of working with Ben throughout our project. From start to finish Ben demonstrated his honesty, professionalism, and commitment to our project. The end result is amazing, the James Hardie product is beautiful, professionally installed and will last a lifetime. Out project consisted of removing original shake siding and brickwork on our St Louis Park house and garage. The Craftsman's Choice crew then replaced the siding with James Hardie lap and shake siding as well as added stonework to the front of the house. This was no small task, as expected with any projects, minor issues arose. Ben and his team went way above and beyond to address any issue that came up. This is the true test of any contractor, Craftsman?s Choice honestly impressed us every step of the way. I have never worked with a contractor with more integrity. When having James Hardie installed, it was important to us to have the project complete by a contractor who only installs Hardie. We made the right choice out of the few contractors serving the Twin Cities. If you are looking for a contractor who will do great work, on time, for a reasonable cost, on budget, with high integrity and professionalism ? hire Craftsman?s Choiceshow more

  In 2007, we replaced our hail-damaged aluminum siding with James Hardy siding and our roof with impact-resistant shingles. In May, 2008, another hail storm hit us. Our James Hardy siding survived without even a scratch, while our neighbors, who used vinyl or aluminum siding, were again replacing their siding. When we got the insurance adjustment for our roof and window damage, Craftman's Choice discovered that the insurance adjuster quoted one of our roof items inadequately. They measured properly, but put down square feet instead of squares, which amounted to a few thousand dollars difference in our claim. We were able to contact our insurance company to get the proper insurance adjustment. Another example is when we moved a garden arbor and noticed that a small area of siding (3" square) was missed by the painter (the siding crew did a wonderful job of working around our plantings). Craftsman's Choice came out and touched up this missed spot - checking to make sure all other areas were covered as well. Craftsman's Choice consistently went above and beyond our expectations. When they found water damage beneath our cedar siding they analyzed what was needed for a proper repair and did a great job. While they were working on other parts of our house we decided to stain and varnish most of the wood on our other windows (at least 15 of them). Ben Junker, helped re-install these windows (which were not included in the insurance adjustment) on his own time. They have always gone above and beyond our expectations - it's a comfort knowing that there are companies who still care about people and about doing a quality jobshow more

  A+++++!!! The entire crew from sales to construction was top notch. Every business should follow Craftman's business and service strategy. They were on time, very professional, competitively priced and cared about their quality of work. They were unbelievably impressive and I would strongly encourage you to give them an opportunity to bid on your job. We will definitely call them for our next jobshow more

  There is still one board on the deck they said they were going to replace, but I feel confident that will get done. Everyone on their crews were professional, courteous and friendly. If there were questions about something the lead crew member always got an answer and a solution. The project manager on the job made many stops on site and also took care of things like finding and replacing two missing bricks on the brick facade on the front of the house. It really made a difference in the overall looks around the door. They picked up after themselves every night before they left the job and did an even more thorough clean up at the end of the job. They were overall very good to work with and we are extremely glad we picked their company to do the job. Thanks to Mike, Andy and Lorenzo for making this a not so bad ordealshow more
