roofing, siding
+ 0 moreOn time, on budget, and professionally done! I checked out several references as well and all were good or very good. Ben Juncke also met with my insurance people several times and patiently got them to adjust the damage estimate in my favor. He did this by patience, attention to detail and hard work. This is just one example of the kind of "extra" benefits you get with real professionals
Description of Work: We had major hail damage to our roof and aluminum siding. I got estimates from 3 major providers. I think I made up my mind to use Craftsman's choice almost immediately. While the other two firms subjected me to hour long slide shows that really were unnecessary. By contrast Ben Juncke, the estimator from Craftsman's was a model of efficiency. Instead of powerpoint slide shows Ben spent most of our time together looking at my house with me. He pointed out problems with our original construction such as poor drainage areas where we could get structural damage, It was an education just listening to him evaluate our homes issues. I have some construction experience and it was obvious that Ben had done this type of work before himself. You can always tell first hand experience and i know Ben had it. After the inspection we put together an estimate. Unlike the other estimates Ben's work had a break out of materials that let me pick my options in more detail. (this is a suggestion I would make to anyone contracting this work ask to see a materials and labor breakout !!!) Ben's estimate was the most detailed of any of the three estimates and he didn't waste my time with non-essential information. Second the work his crews did was excellent. The roofers were experienced, fast and efficient and left me with a much better roof and drainage than my original builders did. They even raked the lawn and house around the work area and make a really serious effort to get every possible nail. While you never get them all this crew tried!! Finally the siding crew was a really good group. We have a very steep house with hard to reach spots and they got to them all. I had some small errors i pointed out with drip gap edges over flashing (fine details recommended by HardiPlank) that occurred well into repairs and the siding person immediately admitted the issue, explained how different owners like appearance (e.g. narrow gaps) or some liked wider gaps with water able to dry out faster. I told him I preferred the gap and he took out the problem boards - a major amount of extra work! - and fixed them as I wanted. He did this with professionalism that you rarely see! The siding team did an excellent job, and if there was a question I was contacted immediately. One more item, during the course of the siding work it became obvious, I needed some carpentry work done. Ben suggested I use a part-time, project carpenter they have used before - Wayne Foss - to finish a new eve and door I added. Wayne was fast, affordable and I was so impressed I would use him for any other carpentry work I needed done. On the whole I am extremely impressed with the caliber and experience of the crew's from Craftsman's Choice. There wasn't single crew that wasn't professional. Ben explained how they work with their sub-contract crews and it was obvious they find good workers, treat them well, pay them fairly and on time. The real proof of this was what i heard when I talked to the crews about how they are treated. Every single crew said they preferred to work with Craftsman Choice because of the way they were treated and the type of work they got to do. I would recommend them w/o hesitation. You get what you pay for and this company asks for a fair price and delivers top of the line service!!

roofing
+ -1 moreInitial contact went well, the estimate was right in line with other bids. (All the bids were within 5% of each other). The actual work was done by sub-contractors. The shingled parts of the roof were done fairly well. The flat roof was done quite poorly. Sloppy seaming, and a tear that was improperly corrected. I ended up calling one of the owners, as his subordinates were on vacation. Once contacted he came out the very next day and immediately agreed to fix it, no argument. It took another week or so for it to be fixed, but it was fixed and I'm now satisfied with my new roof. Overall I'm quite happy with the communication and responsiveness of Craftsman's Choice, but I think they should be more careful with subcontractors.
Description of Work: Replaced roof on my house, which is about half shingles and around half membrane sheets.

Description of Work: The existing cedar siding was stripped off the sides of our home, the soffits and all other wood was removed. This was replaced by Hardiplank siding and a special weatherproof trim. The house was then painted in a 3 color combination.

+ -1 moreNot only did they have the best price, but Ben, one of the owners told me honestly that I simply did not need to replace all the windows in the house. This is in stark contrast to the other bids, both of whom wanted to replace windows that were really in fine shape. But, we did replace the dated-looking array of windows in the front with two enormous picture window combinations filling the whole vaulted ceiling space. Plus, did over the front of the house in stone. The result is a "wow." We have had any number of neighbors and passers-by comment on how great it looks. And this was at a total price that came in less than we would have spent for a "ho-hum" re-side job. The crew had great attention to detail, and the joints are crisp and straight. And when I made my lists of glitches (there inevitably are in a job this size) they did not argue or act like I was being a pest, they sent someone out to fix them. Result: we got every little thing right. Great to work with, and we love our "new" (looks that way) house. I have already recommended them to friends.

siding
+ -1 moreAfter searching the home shows for several years, meeting several different vendors for estimates and getting ideas we finally chose Craftsman's Choice. We chose them for several reasons: the owners were honest and genuine, great presentation, flexible, great Angie's List reports, and they made a strong commitment to our project. We were not disappointed! From the start they did EXACTLY what they said they would do WHEN they said they would do it! That means alot to us. There were no hidden charges, costs, or surprises. The workmanship was absolutely fantastic. Every employee worked on the house like it was their own and did a great job with everything. We are extremely pleased with every aspect of the experience with them. Bonus: They were not the cheapest bid but very far from the most expensive too. We feel we received every dollar's worth of our money. We were especially impressed with their willingness to take on "boxing out" our new windows. We wanted to give our small rooms the feel of more space and add some depth to the room and they delivered with beautiful new windows that were boxed out about 9 inches from the side of the house. Many other contractors said they could not do this type of work. Craftsman's made it look easy. Would defintely recommend.

They used high quality materials, had excellent communication throughout the project, did great work, and followed with a thorough clean up. Nice, honest, hard working. No surprises. Would definitely use again.

siding
+ -1 more....just a quick note about Craftsman?s Choice, Inc. and our recent experience with the re-siding of our home. We were given addresses of numerous houses upon which they had installed James Hardie cedarmill siding and Hardie Board soffit and fascia. We saw the actual color/combinations we were considering for our home before choosing. Those working on the site were very able, pleasant and helpful. The personnel who worked with us were highly professional and completed the project with excellent craftsmanship. While working on the back of our home, some damaged wood was discovered, we were asked if we wanted it corrected, which was necessary. This work was completed efficiently and for a reasonable additional cost. We fully recommend Craftsman?s Choice, Inc. for installing siding, fascia, soffit, and other necessary repairs while on site. We certain would contact them for any future needs.
Description of Work: Tear off siding, install Tyvik, siding, soffit and facia. Replaced damaged wood by deck in back of home.

remodeling
+ -1 moreThe project went very well considering all the work we had done. We especially enjoyed working with co-owner, Ben Juncker. He was professional, a good listener and had great follow through. He was willing to do some additional fixes as the project progressed. We had a little more difficulty communicating with the site manager but this improved after we spoke with Ben. When we weren't satisfied with some of the painting Ben had the painter return to fix everything we requested. At the end of the project he reviewed our plan and made sure everything was completed to our total satisfaction. One of the Pella windows, a 6 foot unit, had a smudge between the panes and an air leak. We were told to contact Pella which we did eventually. Even though it was almost 6 months since our project was completed Ben followed up with us.When he found out that they expected us to pick up the window and pay for its installment he immediately contacted us and has taken over resolving the problem. He also wrote to Pella on our behalf to question there service for a customer with such a large order. We would definitely recommend this company!
Description of Work: We replaced our roof, siding and 16 windows/doors. They also fixed our shed and tore our deck off.

+ -1 moreGot a solid estimate from them when most companies were only interested in what the insurance company was going to pay. I was able to add curb appeal with new cement board siding and a stone front to the house for the same money as steel siding. As with any project you need to review work flow and quality ever day.
Description of Work: Had the siding and roof redone due to hail damage. Also add stone work to parts of the front of the house. Work was done Fall of 2008

siding
+ -1 moreWe have a 3200 sq foot two-story house with a walkout basement and attached 3-car garage, so there are a lot of exterior walls. Tearing off and re-siding took about two weeks. The crew was mainly 2 guys, but periodically a few others would come to help out. We appreciated the small group of familiar faces. The crew were unfailingly courteous, and the head guy would always stop working in order to answer our questions or discuss logistics. They cleaned up the grounds each day after finishing work. We hadn't been part of such a large home remodel before, and we hadn't used this company for previous work. The salesman who drew up the details of our contract remained in touch throughout the project, which went far in inspiring our trust. The project manager was not so good at keeping us informed when things were about to happen (such as supply delivery or the date on which work would start), but he responded the same day to every phone call, supplied answers to every question, and walked around the site with us several times during the project. Before the project started, our handyman replaced several garage windows with glass block ones and removed another window, and the Craftsman's Choice crew seamlessly incorporated his work, framing in the new windows and siding over the place where the window was removed. They also replaced an exterior door for us and installed a couple of storm doors. They modified two exterior decks as well, replacing stairs, adding handrails, and resizing one of the decks. The company went beyond the norm for us, as we had a couple of oddities come up in our project. One was a metal steer sculpture affixed to our old siding that we wanted to retain as part of the history of the house. The guys obligingly constructed a panel of fiber cement on which to mount the sculpture, and they incorporated this into the new siding. Another oddity was that, after the fascia were replaced, we noticed our front storm door was blocked from opening fully. It ran into the fascia when halfway open. We didn't want to be discriminating against large-sized friends or those bearing packages, so the team came up with a solution for cutting away a piece of the fascia in a not-too-obvious way, which allowed the door to open fully. After the main siding and work was completed, we received a visit from the project manager and another from the salesman, walking through with us to make sure every detail of the exterior was finished according to plan and that we were satisfied. This attention to detail and excellent service ethic have ensured that we'll be calling this company when we need additional work.
Description of Work: Removed existing cedar siding and installed Hardie fiber cement siding. Also removed existing soffits and fascia and installed Hardie fiber cement fascia and aluminum soffits.

doors, gutter repair, siding, replacement windows
+ 2 moreWe had received bids from three companies to re-side and replace windows in our house. Although they were not the lowest bidder, we decided to go with Craftsman's Choice since they had the most experience with Hardiplank. Ben came to our home multiple times to discuss siding and window options with us, which was appreciated. The crew did an excellent job and was very professional. There were a few items that needed to be adjusted or changed and they quickly did them and were very responsive. The only glitch we had was the schedule was pushed out since our replacement windows took longer to come in than expected, but they were very quick in scheduling once they were in. Overall, we had a very good experience and would highly recommend them.

Attention to detail is so important when putting up the James Hardie cement board siding, we are happy we chose someone with so much experience. We interviewed many other contractors and didn't get half of the information we got with Craftsman's Choice on the first meeting. They are a "yes" company, just ask and you will receive. Anything we were not totally happy with they fixed and made it exactly what we wanted. We would recommend Craftsman's Choice!

siding
+ -1 moreAfter he canceled his first appointment with us, Ben arrived on time to give us an estimate for residing our entire house and a new garage that we are having built. He seemed very professional and knowledgeable about the process and the products. He took measurements and was able to present us with a bid on the spot. His bid was mid range out of the five that we received. After reviewing the other bids, we had questions that we wanted to ask Ben. We called and left messages for him on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. He did not return our calls until the following week, saying that he was out of town from Thursday (well, what about the first two messages?). We asked if he could break down the siding costs, in case we were only able to side the new garage. He understood our construction situation, and that we may need to do the re-siding in stages (garage first, then house) and said there would be no problem doing it in two jobs. He said that he would e-mail the cost breakdown to us. After not receiving anything for a few days, I sent an e-mail to him (just in case he had the wrong address). A few days after that, he sent me an e-mail saying that he could not find the notes and measurements that he took at our house, and if I could send him the garage measurements. I promptly sent him the best measurements that I could (working from blueprints), saying that he could call with any questions. Haven't heard from him since. We were all set to go with Craftman's Choice for our siding. We thought that their price was good and that his initial presentation was great. But unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. There was a lack of follow through and professionalism. We decided to go with a different company - a bit more expensive, but worth it for the responsiveness. Call me silly, but I like it when a company appreciates my business.
