This company was helpful and thorough in the pre-sales quoting and product selection work. Once materials were delivered and the work crew started, work went rapidly, even through a very hot summer. Understandably, the crew did stop work early during some extremely hot days for safety reasons. My siding looks great!

Once we were able to coordinate our schedules, the workmen showed up on time. They placed good floor coverings that protected my hardwood floors. Most of the work was accomplished from the outside of the house so there was not much traffic going in and out. That was nice since it was February and in Minnesota. The appointment was for the morning and I had not yet shoveled the last snowfall in the driveway. The guys pitched right in and cleared the snow before starting their work. Everyone was professional and polite. It was like having friends over, except when they left they cleaned up after themselves. The job was finished sooner than the estimated time and before I knew it they were all packed up and gone. I have other projects in my home waiting to be done and Craftsmen will be the first ones I call for an estimate.
Description of Work: Craftsman insulated my attic and added additional sofit vents.

My house is 21 yrs old, and has the original insulation which was code at the time, but it has packed down over the years, and is not as deep as todays code requires.. The salesman who came out to do the evaluation was honest about the fact that nothing could be done about the cathedral ceiling - that needs to be done in conjunction with putting on a new roof, which I don't need as my roof is only 5 yrs old. I went ahead with the job anyway, and hopefully it will make a difference. The workmen who did the job were efficient, neat and polite.

Thank you for giving us your insulation business. Aesthetically insulation doesn't do anything but hopefully you'll see a difference in your heating and A/C bills. Your comments are well received.

The crew arrived about 15 minutes after their designated time but were very apologetic. They were very neat and professional and timely in their work. They answered all my questions and performed their jobs well. Well organized and efficient. Felt very comfortable with foreman in his knowledge of job to be done.
Description of Work: Attic insulation was blown in across entire attic and all bypasses were sealed (including electrical bypasses and plumbing stacks). New gasket was installed around attic hatch door as well.

My experience with Craftsmen Home Improvements couldn't have been better. I discovered them through Angie's List when a Big Deal coupon was offered. I purchased the offer but when I had an estimate done, it turned out my job wasn't big enough to qualify. While I was disappointed, I was happy that I felt like I was given a fair, competitive estimate without the coupon being a factor in pricing. Jim, the person doing my estimate assured me that if I had any issue getting a refund from Angie's List, they would take the coupon and get things corrected for me. All of the staff that I had interactions with were very friendly. Jim did the estimate and answered all of the questions without problem. When I had the actual work done, the foreman, Matt, was very friendly and professional. Everyone showed up promptly to perform the work and it was completed very quickly. I was working from home the day that it was done and the workers were non-disruptive. They did a great job cleaning up after they were complete and the insulation work I had done looked fantastic. I think they may have even added a little extra insulation beyond what I was invoiced for. I was also applying for a rebate from my natural gas provider based on the work being performed. After the work was completed, I found a problem with how the invoice was written, making me unsure if I was able to qualify for the rebate. I emailed Joan about it and got a corrected invoice and pre-filled rebate forms from her later that same day. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Craftsmen Home Improvements again.

They did everything on time, and it looked beautiful! They did additional work for us at no charge, and checked with us often. It was an amazingly positive experience. When they could not remount a light, they hired an electrician to do it. It was perfectly completed, and looked better than we imagined it could.

Craftsmen was very good to work with. We heard back from them shortly after making the initial request for a bid. They didn't come in the lowest for price (though very close), but they more than made up for that with communication and timeliness. They were honest in the initial inspection of the roof, in which they discovered we had asbestos in our chimney that needed to be removed. It was good to know they were looking at all the pieces. After we solved our chimney problem, they came out and replaced the roof in under the time they quoted. They were very professional, straight-forward and task-focused. We also didn't get any surprises on our final invoice, which was nice.
Description of Work: The services provided included an accurate estimate of pricing, thorough inspection of the roof and complete replacement of the roof for both the house and garage.

It was a very smooth overall process. Great company to work with. Jim initially came out and did the bid. Very professional. On the day of the job Matt came out promptly and did a great job. Initially we were planning to install new sofit vents but upon closer inspection realized they were good to go. Matt took pictures of current vents and emailed them to me so I could view while at work. Great experience and would not hesitate to use them for other jobs in the future.
Description of Work: Matt and his crew brought insulation up to code. They also replaced both gable vents in the attic. They replaced both bathroom ventilation fans. Everything was sealed properly. Chutes were installed as well.

Wonderful job and work. Craftsmen work and professionalsim were outstanding. We originally asked for an estimate a year prior to the completion of the job but we had to put it on hold. When we were ready to go forward, Craftsment was able to pick up the thread without any difficulty and the job was completed. Great communication from the contact person/contractor, Erik. Outstanding company all around, including the office personnel!Wond

Very easy. Jim from Craftsman was very knowledgeable and helpful when going over the interior of our home, and the crew that did the work was courteous and efficient. These guys worked in minus zero degree weather in an unheated garage area for several hours. Kim followed up promptly with us to make sure all was to our satisfaction. Everyone was easy to get a hold of and clear in their communications.
Description of Work: They sealed and insulated our attic area. Installed soffit vents also. Connected a stove vent that had been unconnected. Used blown fiberglass insulation. Prior to insulating, Craftsman came and used a thermal camera on the interior of the home to find drafty/cold spots throughout the home.

Right from the beginning I was impressed with the representative from CHI. he was extremely poliet and explained every thing that needed to be done and explained the price for each. he also went as far as to to make a temporary fix on the largest hole in the roof so there would not be any rain coming through the roof until the scheduled roof replacement would take place. During the inspectino of the roof, the representative notice that there was a wasp nest starting on one of the eaves. Unfortuantely I did not have any wasp spray but lucky for me he had some in his truck. He took care of that problem for me too. The actual work to the roof was done very quickly, and I was impressed with how clean the yard was after. Great company. I will definately check into having them finish the house with a new paint job :)
Description of Work: Craftsman Home Improvements replaced the roof on my house. A summer storm took down a very large branch from the very old huge oak tree in the back yard. it made several holes in the roof. The roof was replaced on the garage also, so it would match the house. I also hade the gutters replaced on the house.

The work was excellent. Jim was great to work with in estimating the job, and Matt was great to work with as the foreman. They even went beyond the contract in providing excellent service, doing more than was in the contract in an effort to provide the very best service. They were on time, worked efficiently, did a superb job, and cleaned up completely afterwards. I have only good things to say about every one I dealt with, including Kim and Joan in the office. I will definitely use them again if I have any more remodeling work.
Description of Work: This work was done on my youngest son's house. Craftsmen added cellulose insulation, Styrofoam sheets to large open areas, and 6' air chutes to a rambler attic. Also filled electrical and other holes with foam, and added vents to above the roof for ceiling fans.

From start to finish, Craftsmen was on time, honest, up front with costs, and excellent quality. They educated us on the world of picking out windows, and the different ones you can purchase.
Description of Work: We are grateful for the wisdom and expertise Craftsmen home improvement. We have an older home, and needed to replace the windows on the south side of our two story home. We invited three different companies to come out and give bids. Craftsmen company noted, we had hail damage on our windows, though no other company acknowledged to us the damage. We were grateful that Craftsmen worked with our insurance company and working together, the job was completed. Craftsmen worked extremely well with the process of insurance, it was a great help. The windows are beautiful, no issues with install, quality, clean up. The workers were a team that worked amazingly well, respectful of the home, respectful of clean up , respectful of our time. Can't say enough about the team that installed the windows. As far as price, we had filed a claim with insurance, so the price depends on our deductible and what part of the claim was paid. Overall, their price was comparable to the other estimates. We had aprox. 12 windows replaced. Craftsmen was of integrity and we would use them again given the opportunity.

My home was build in 1969 and it was determined that there was little to no insulation in the attic. It took the better part of a day for Craftsman Home Improvements to install the insulation, which has resulted in reduced heating & air conditioning bills.

Very good service. They had to move some heavy equipment to get to the attic entry but they did it and put it all back. There was a slight misunderstanding about whether I needed to be there. I did not for the insulation but I did for the bathroom ceiling fans. It meant that I had to run home to let them in, but they waited for me and did a great job on the fans.
