Craftsman Connection LLC

Excellent. Be specific about what you want. He provides a very detailed estimate specifying work to be done, materials, etc.

I have a cedar pergola over the back patio deck that uses very large 4 x 12 beams. The beams are mounted on corner pillars using 4 x 6 cedar decorative mounts between the pillars and the beams. The mounts had begun to deteriorate quite dramatically causing the beams to drop and several had moved some 3-4 inches apart. Carl built some new cedar mounts matching the originals and jacked up the beams so the mounts could be replaced. After looking at the pillar covers supporting the mounts he decided there was a better way to create the base so he built new bases without changing the bid. He carefully primed all the new wood pieces and then painted with the finish colors. There is no question in my mind the Pergola today looks better and is more robust than the original installed 18 years ago. I am very pleased with the work accomplished and with Carl's proactive approach to making things better than they were originally. I heartily recommend Craftsman Connection based on the quality of the work on this project

Carl and Jose worked very hard taking off the old paint off my kitchen cabinets. It took longer than expected because of a sticky finish but the end result was beautiful. They also refinished two doors to match the cabinets then they installed all the cabinet hardware. We love the results. Working with Carl was fun. He certainly knows his stuff and is meticulous when it comes to detail.

Carl dis an excellent job! He is very meticulous and follows through. He kept the job site clean and neat. Was prompt and executed to the agreed timeline. We absolutely will us him again.

Carl responded quickly to my email after I found him on CL. He set up a time to get measurements and see our project. He appeared promptly at the time we set up. He was thorough but quick, and answered several questions about the project and ways to do some of the things we were considering. Within a few days we got a very detailed/itemized quote. We did select another contractor who gave another quote, but I very muched like the detail in Carl's quote, which I did not get in the one we selected, so I'm hoping that doesn't come back to bite us. (If it does, I'll come back and edit this report!) Everything about the experience with Carl was positive, and I would certainly be open to using his for future projects.

He did not call or show up for the appointment or call. We will not use him.

Carl and the crews always came and went promptly and he kept me appraised in advance of each step as to what it entailed and the schedule. Carl was a professional from the estimate to the completion. All the work crew were also very professional. I am very pleased with the results. Carl pays attention to the details, and he has a strong work ethic. If I need more work done, I will definitely call Craftsman Connection.

I was very impressed with Carl's follow through and documentation of the problem. I live out of state, and he kept me in the loop with photos and detailed documentation of the process. Since he fixed this problem, I've used him for numerous other problems that have come up at the building, including electrical and lighting challenges, roof drainage, tile replacement, and other miscellaneous items. On each and every job, Carl has gone above and beyond my expectations. I am now facing some much larger problems with the building, such as roof, drainage and foundation repair, and Carl has been serving as the lead contractor for the building, helping me make a plan and interviewing subcontractors so it'll be done right. I would highly recommend Carl for little and big jobs. Terrific work ethic!

Very satisfied with quality of work, attention to detail, clean up, and follow through. We plan to use Carl again for several future projects.

Fantastic experience!. I was working with a very limited budget and firm time constraints since I was moving and Carl worked with me on scheduling and at my request, found re-claimed materials (and fixed what I had rather than replacing it when possible) to save money. Clean, utterly professional, on-time and a perfectionist about his work. He charges a bit more than the average handyman, but that's because he's NOT the averge handyman. You won't have to go back and re-do anthing that didn't turn out quite the way you wanted it to-- he gets it right the first time, and gets it done on-time.

My experience with Carl and Craftsman Connection was excellent. On Saturday night I had discovered that there was a water leak outside my house near the sidewalk. The city of Fort Worth had determined that the leak was my responsibility. The leak was significant enough that we had to shut off the water to our house. This was a major inconvenience not only because it occurred on the weekend, but because my daughter was only seven weeks old at the time. Fortunately for my family, Carl came to the rescue. Carl came early Sunday afternoon and was able to quickly diagnose my problem. It turned out that in an attempt to cut corners my builder had used inferior material to complete the plumbing that ran to my house. To save time the builder also failed to remove several large rocks that were in the way. As a result the pipe was bent in a couple of locations and over time the pipe began to leak. Perhaps the biggest issue was the leak was coming directly from underneath the middle of our sidewalk. Instead of going through the concrete, Carl instead choose to save me both time and money by digging underneath the sidewalk. The complete job took around five hours. Needless to say my wife and I were very grateful. I am confident in saying that if ever need repairs or work done on my house that Carl will be the first person I call.

They were fine at the meeting and they were very professional. It took them a long time to get us the bid and we had already chosen a different company.

Carl spent about an hour and a half on the initial visit going through what I wanted to achieve. He had a good eye for detail and design plus was very experienced and was able to make valuable suggestions and bring up things that I hadn't considered. I received a detailed bid for the kitchen and another for the bathroom about a week later. The lead time to start my project was four weeks. He completed it in five weeks, working on it every day plus a couple of Saturdays. He was totally trustworthy and I had no concerns about giving him a key and letting him come and go as needed. He explained everything at each step and kept me totally informed. He has very high standards and each task was completed perfectly. The drywalll patching and finishing was undetectable. The subcontractors that he used for painting and tiling also did beautiful work. Anything that needed to be changed was done promptly. He kept the construction area as neat and clean as was possible. The finished results were absolutely beautiful and much more than I expected!! I ended up with my dream kitchen. I wish I had done this sooner. Carl and his staff were very easy to work with, very professional and totally reliable. When I saw first hand how much and what kind of work was involved, I felt the price was very fair. He was very reasonably priced on the add-ons. And most important to me: he was very careful with my small housedog, keeping him inside the house but out of the construction area in spite of my dog's best efforts to intervene in everything! Thanks so much, Carl!! I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.

I contacted Craftman Connections for an estimate to remodel a hall bathroom. Carl made a home visit, took measurements, and then about a week later submitted a written proposal for the project. The proposal was clear, detailed, and reasonably priced. Although we have selected another company to complete the job, I would recommend this company to others considering a similar project.

My husband and I were looking for a contractor to remodel our Master Bath. We had several contractors give us quotes. Carl quickly impressed us. He showed up promptly at the appointed time and was dressed in a clean uniform, He asked appropriate questions and made suggestions when we were unsure of what could be done. He presented us with a detailed estimate that also gave us a time line of when the work would be done. Carl gave us the names of companies to order all of the products we would need, walked us through the ordering process and then followed up with the orders. When the work began Carl let us know what time he would be arriving each day and came in each day on time. Carl is a perfectionist and did most of the work himself. He did a fantastic job. In fact we have asked him to bid our hall bath and if all goes as well as our master bath, we'll have him do our kitchen next. Thanks Carl we love our bath(retreat).

The work was to be done on a HUD foreclosure. The property was vacant before and any work was to be performed before occupancy The gentleman sounded real nice on the phone and during the estimate visit. However he was late showing up at the appointed time. Did not acknowledge his tardiness at all. All we asked him to do was give us an estimate for plumbing repairs. He asked me if I know what a "Water hammer" was. I played dumb and said I did not know. He went into story time telling me i can have water hammers installed at key points in the plumbing system. This line of thought along with tardiness and cavalier attitude about that raised some suspicions about his ethics. After discussion of a water water replacement, and other repairs, he completely ignored the fact that a permit would be needed to be pulled and general installation had to be done by code. At that point, I verbally agreed to have his company do the work, Later on the next week I happened to be passing by the property early one morning to find this same plumber onsite without my knowledge ! I asked him what he was doing there and he told me he was doing some more "figuring". I find this kind of attitude and behaviour extremely unethical. Why didn't he call me if he needed to be onsite to do more "figuring"? We would have arranged to be there so he could to the estimate again. But to be onsite without my knowledge was underhanded and very shady. Needless to say, I will not be calling these people again.

Everything about him was really very professional. I felt very comfortable with him and felt like I could trust him. He seemed organized and even had pictures of work he had done previously.

This particular job went great. Mr. Carl was an outstanding worker, he was punctual, professional and very kind. He even took a trip with me to Home Depo to help me choose my new range and refrigerator. He had alot of patience and had a genuine understanding of my needs as a customer. Carl explained everything clearly and made sure we were on the same page every step of the way. His workers were friendly and precise as well.They all made me feel comfortable almost felt like family . Mr. Carl and his workers went above and beyond my expectations with the high quality of work projected. I love my new kitchen and would refer him to any and all.

The whole process went great. Carl is not only excellent at what he does, but completely trustworthy. I felt perfectly ok about giving him a key to come and go as he needed to while we were at work. We were also impressed with the tile guys he used as well as the cabinet painters. I think he uses the best people he can. Our new kitchen looks amazing.

They did a great job overall! They were very professional and nice to work with. They were punctual throughout the project as well. I would recommend them to others.

Carl is extremely meticulous in all of the work he does. I was impressed by his ability to understand what I wanted and to be able to make suggestions for other things that might work well on this project as it went along. He was also willing to adjust for schedule changes that I needed and to finish in time to have the family over for Thanksgiving. The ceiling in half of my kitchen was lower than normal height and had a fluorescent fixture. This portion was raised to the level of the rest of the room. This required the removal of the insulation over that portion of the kitchen (this insulation removal was not anticipated and therefore not covered in the original bid). This portion was then covered with sheetrock and the entire ceiling was textured. The new and old areas blend together seamlessly. The cabinets and pantry on one wall were removed along with the oven and microwave. A 9 foot opening was cut between the kitchen and the living room at counter height. A pantry, corner cabinet, and new cabinet for the oven were constructed. The workmanship on the cabinets is excellent. Carl went to considerable trouble to find a shop that would make the new doors match my existing cabinetry. Crown molding was added to the tops of all of the cabinets. Woodworking is an area in which Carl excels. The corners and seams are extremely well done. There was quite a bit of electrical work required due to moving the oven and installing lights above and below the cabinets. Also, there were can lights installed in the ceiling and drop fixtures over the new counter area. As the project went along we discovered some things that needed to be done differently and a few times it required things that were not covered in the original bid. As you would with any workman, it is best to determine a firm cost for any additional work as you go along. All in all, I am very impressed by the quality of the work that was done and I would certainly hire him again.

Carl was very quick in responding to our inquiry. When he came out to figure an estimate for our bathroom remodel, he was very thorough in his questions and open to giving advice. A week later, Carl started the remodel, and he was able to handle the surprises that came with remodeling an old house. He was more than willing to accommodate any need we had, and he was very meticulous in his work. We absolutely love our bathroom!! He is very friendly, and we really enjoyed working with him!

Carl did, and always has done, an extremely professional job. He is a man of integrity who keeps his word and completes the job with great customer satisfaction. He explains what needs to be done, what it will cost, and keeps his commitments. I have continued to trust Carl with my property and would highly recommend him to others.

Carl Pfeiffer is amazing. I was first impressed with the service he provided when he told me he could meet me at my home at 6:30 one evening during the week to survey the damage and put together his estimate. You simply don't find that in todays world to often. Carl completed the estimate and while he was not the least expensive, he was certainly not the most expensive either. His estimate detailed everything he would be doing along with the cost of those things he would be doing. Once I contacted him to do the job, we set a date for Wednesday the 24th of November. He showed up on time and began working. Carl said the job would be complete by Saturday with him working on Thanksgiving as well, which worked for me as I was out of town. On Saturday the job was complete and the room looks brand new. Carl was able to match the texture on the ceiling and walls as if nothing had ever been done. His work is amazing. He is careful, precise and does not stop until he feels good and I felt good about the job. I will certainly contact him for any future remodeling needs, in fact he is coming back to take care of some odds and ends things around my house. I have complete trust in that he will take care of the job from start to finish.

Overall the job went very well. The only real issues were dealing with the mortgage company, since they had to inspect and then send the checks to me for distribution to the contractors. Carl's communication and professionalism is top notch. He did things when he said he would do them.
