Senior Craftsman, Inc.

Alex was very friendly and professional, his workmanship was great. I was charged $7 for materials, there was a ceiling fan there prior and this was a brand new fan. I was charged $55 per hour vs $45 per hour. I was charged $10 for gas and they are located less than 4-5 miles from out home. I feel I was over charged $20 for the hourly rate, for 2 hours.I'm not sure what materials I was charged for, he told my husband it was missing a screw. There is no way he used $10 of gas to drive 4-5 miles. He never brought in a tool box and kept going out to the car to get what ever he needed., which increased his time here. Total over charge was $37 dollars. Plus does it really take 2 hours to install a single ceiling fan. I had errands to do so my husband signed and paid Alex. Alex told me his boss gave his St not Drive, not my problem but was obviously charged for him driving around trying to find out home. We were never told they charged for gas/travel, poor business practice.

Thought it was going to be $350 for the railing and the post in the carport when it was only for the rotten part and that is my fault. I had some dissatisfaction and he reduced it to $275. After he left I noticed the railing was bowed and it stuck up, then it was an embarrassment to me to see. The railing should have been straight.

The owner was very professional and asked for a list of jobs that needed to be done. We offered him all the work we wanted done on our porch, which was to fix the wooden base of one of the columns that supported the porch and paint all columns, so that they matched. We also asked him if he could power wash, replace rotting base boards and re-paint two decks in the back yard. He went into his car and hand wrote up a quick estimate, which we thought was reasonable and much lower than what we planned to spend. He said he would send his guys to come and do the work when the weather is better. Approximately two weeks later Alex, came and did all the work that his boss had agreed to. HE spent approximately three full days working on the porch and the back decks-power washing, replacing boards and painting them. Despite the fact that they work hard and do a pretty good job, the one drawback with senior craftsman is they were not sophisticated enough to ensure that the work was cosmetically and aesthetically pleasing and fit with the rest of the house. For example, they did not have a plan to ensure the paint on the column matched the rest of the window panes and door in our house. Thus, we decided to provide the paint for them to ensure it was what we wanted and matched the house colors, which they were receptive to. To summarize, if you have the time, and effort and don't mind picking up high quality materials for them to work, they do a good job, at a very reasonable price. Nevertheless, I would be reluctant to recommend them for any work that you consider to be aesthetically critical to your house.

When they working they just threw the bricks down and blocked the chimney. I had to have additional to work done because of the poor business practice.
