Craftsman Connection LLC

Description of Work: test

Description of Work: I am new to the Keller, TX area. I interviewed 7 different contractors for this remodel. I hired Carl at Craftsman Connection, and Carl did not disappoint. He lives up to the name Craftman. Carl is concerned with every detail everyday. His workmanship is very good. He is honest and keeps his word. With any remodel, it’s a process and sometimes not without surprises or bumps and bruises along the way but Carl work through them with me every step of the way. I would recommend Carl for small or large projects.

Description of Work: I requested a quote on a kitchen remodel. Carl came out on time and spent about an hour measuring the kitchen and showing me some of his previous designs. I also asked him to quote on retiling a bathroom. He told me I would receive a quote from him within a few weeks. I received nothing - no quote and no phone call. I could call him but I am not in the practice of chasing contractors to give them my business. I went with Morrell Construction and couldn't be happier.

Description of Work: Carl and Robert did an excellent job. Very friendly and professional. Great attention to detail and effort to do the job correctly without cutting corners. We had them demo our old laminate kitchen counter top and backsplash and lay a new stone tile backsplash. Carl also finished the installation of a new cooktop. Very pleased with the outcome and would recommend them for tile work.

Description of Work: Installed vent hood & extension as well as installed new light fixture in kitchen.

Description of Work: The service of this company is hit or miss and I can only give mixed reviews. Undoubtedly, Carl knows his "stuff" however his service is based on his agenda rather than the needs of his customer. I made several requests to accomplish the work in a certain order to allow me to work around him with my projects and it was like pulling teeth to get him to accomodate me ... the paying customer. He was very pre-occupied with checking his Angie's List ratings, often on my time. While the final outcome of his work was certainly acceptable, the final straw was that when he turned the water back on after shutting it off, he didn't turn it back on properly. This caused problems with my sprinkler system due to lack of proper pressure. After hiring a sprinkler service and $150 later, I discovered the problem was due to the lack of the water being turned back on completely. When I told Carl about this, he made no offer to reimburse me for the expense of the water pressure problem. In fact he didn't even apologize for his mistake. There is much more work to do before my projects on this house are complete, but Carl's ego would get in the way of me using this company again.In response to Carl's rebuttal....................First and foremost .. I wrote my review because Angie's list requested I do so even though it was several months after the work was completed.Secondly, I informed Carl in advance,; as I do all my contractors , that my work takes me out of town frequently and that we would have to work around that. However I gave him advance notice of the days would be in town and he seemed ok with that at the time. In fact. he was able to schedule other work in between our schedule.Additionally, the reason I know he was checking his Angie's list status on my time was because I found him stretched out on my bedroom floor and he then proceeded read the comments to me!However, all of that would have been ok until I incurred the expense of calling a sprinkler repair company only to find that my sprinkler problems were caused by the fact that Carl had failed to fully turn my water back on after turning it off to complete his work. Apparently, here is a huge difference between the pressure needed to run one shower and a multiple station sprinkler system. There was no way I could have known what caused my sprinkler problem until after I called a sprinkler repair company. As soon as I learned about the pressure problem, I in formed Carl of the expense I incurred due to his mistake. I still have emails that will verify this. While Carl did apologize for his mistake, he made no overture to reimburse me for the expense I incurred to correct his mistake

Description of Work: Worked woth Carl and his workers and was very impressed. Workers were professional and on time. We have an apartment complex and was mandated by the city to vent kitchen hoods because of gas usage. Never received a complaint from anyone. We passed inspection with flying colors.

Description of Work: Work involved removing laminate counter top with attached sink and faucet, disconnecting plumbing, relocating/replacing dishwasher, installing custom drawers, reinstalling countertop, installing shelves, etc. This was the second time we've used Craftsman Connection, the first being about a year ago when he did an extensive remodeling of a bathroom in the same house. On both occasions Carl Pfeiffer's work was excellent and did not exceed his detailed estimates. He was punctual and explained in detail what he was doing. In the earlier job he was creative in developing extra storage space. My wife was extremely impressed with how he communicated and dealt with her on both jobs. We will definitely call him first for any future work.

Description of Work: Very good

Description of Work: I contacted him for an estimate for drywall work and we were going to get the spray foam insulation system and we wanted to remodel our bathrooms. He was sporadic in getting in touch with us, but nothing was consistent. He was busy with other things and we feel other things kept coming in front of us. It just was not moving along like we needed it to.

Description of Work: Finished high quality unpainted doors and drawers to a perfect finish

Description of Work: REMOVED OLD FRONT DOOR WITH SIDE LIGHTS, REPLACED, STAINED & PAINTED. CORRECTION BASE PLATE AND SUB MORTAR FOUNDATION WHICH HAD DECAYED.

Description of Work: I called Craftsman Connection again for some extra items I wanted done. I had him replace the old hose faucet outside of my kitchen door for a new frost free one. While he was opening the wall in the kitchen side, he suggested getting rid of the ice maker valve that stuck out of the wall for one that was recessed allowing me to push my refrigerator back another 3 inches. And for an addition $39. that sounded like a pretty good deal. Then he reconnected a broken copper line that feeds my sprinkler system. I've used Craftsman Connection before and the reason I like them so much is that they come prepared to do a complete job. He kept the original piece of drywall that was cut out and patched it like the original, then painted it. The whole job took about 7 hours for the plumbing, patching and painting. And just in time for watering my new plants. Oh one more thing. I had him install a missing door for the office. He cut it to match the existing door jamb, installed a door handle and primed it for me. I didn't know he did doors too. It turns out that he installs doors for ResDoor. Everything looks nice. I can't wait to have the hallway tile, baseboards and interior painting done.

Description of Work: Craftsman Connection did a full kitchen remodel. Removed all old cabinets, drywall, insulation, wiring, etc. down to the studs. Relocated a electrical panel, laundry plumbing. Installed new windows, insulation, wiring, plumbing for the refrigerator ice maker. They custom built our cabinets to maximize our space needs like built in trash cans and they took the time to measure the stuff we already had so we could make the most of our pantry space, using pull out shelves instead of lots of wasted space above each item. All new appliances were installed and you could tell they took great pride in there work because the automatic controller for the downdraft hood was placed perfectly in the small space in the cabinet. It's just the little details that made it worth it. The owner cared more than we did about all the details, but it was a nice change of pace. It put us at ease.

Description of Work: We had storm damage, both inside and out. Carl was NOT the lowest bidder, but got the job because of his professional demeanor and understanding of what we needed. The work is top notch. He went through great pains to get EXACT paint matching. His crew was courteous and prompt. All work was done to our expectation. Excellent communication. A class act.
