As a homeowner, you can expect clear, concise communication during the design-build process. To assist you in better understanding this process, we have prepared the following step-by-step guideline.
•Consultation Call
During this conversation, we will discuss your needs. We will ask a series of questions to determine your remodeling goals and timeline. At the end of this chat, if it seems like we are a good fit for each other, we will schedule an in-home visit to gather more details.
•In-Home Visit
At the in-home visit, we will meet with you to review your objectives in greater detail. We will be able to develop a better understanding of the challenges you may be experiencing with your existing space. We will walk with you around the home, review your timeline, discuss your budget, and answer any questions you may have.

Following the in-home consultation, if you choose to proceed, we will develop a written proposal which defines the scope of the project, a budget, as well as the services which will be provided.

After finalizing, we will present you with our construction contract specifications. Once the construction contract is approved, we will prepare to commence work.

During construction, we make every effort to maintain our schedule and communicate with you weekly about the status of your project. You can expect us to clean our work areas at the end of each day ensuring that dust and debris around your home are kept to a minimum.

Basement Finishing
When homeowners go looking to expand their usable living space, one of the first places we look to is the basement. Basement finishing provides great value for the remodeling investment. Whether it’s tricked out as a man cave, as a game room for the kids, or equipped with a bar for entertaining friends and family, or a gym, a finished basement will improve the resale value of your house.
Kitchen Renovations
As the central hub of the home, the kitchen functions as more than just a place to prepare meals. It plays a central role to family communication, entertaining, and other activities like homework and bill paying. Because you use your kitchen for such a wide variety of purposes, having a space that is conducive to performing those tasks can greatly improve your quality of life.
Is it time to remodel your kitchen? If you are experiencing any of the following problems, the answer is likely “yes”:
•Lacks adequate counter and storage space
•Pinch points created by a refrigerator door that opens into a counter
•Failing appliances
•Poor lighting
•Damaged flooring
•Insufficient receptacles for charging electronic devices
•Residential Bathroom Renovations
•Remodeling your bathroom benefits your family in numerous ways. Yes, bathroom renovations are aesthetically pleasing. Indeed, they increase the enjoyment of your home and improve resale value. But, one of the biggest benefits you can realize with this type of remodeling project is the improvement to your health.
•Warm and humid, bathrooms are the ideal breeding ground for harmful molds. The older your bathroom, the less likely it is to be properly ventilated increasing the probability that dangerous mold is present. By remodeling your bathroom, you will not only make your home more pleasant, often times you will make it a healthier living environment for your family.
•Convenience is another great reason to remodel your bathroom. If you are seeking a clutter free bathroom, we can install custom cabinetry with pullout drawers featuring built-in receptacles to keep your hair and shaving accessories out of sight, but within easy reach. Or, perhaps you’d like to get rid of the old, seldom used tub and opt for a modern, barrier free shower with a built-in bench?
Custom Home Additions
Changing needs often require additional space in your home. Whether an aging parent is coming to live with you, or you need to expand your home’s footprint to accommodate a larger kitchen, Custom Craft Contractors will work with you to design and construct an addition that meets your needs for improved functionality.
Interior Renovations
Home is the place where we should feel the most comfortable. When you enter your home, you should immediately feel a sense of relief. If the state of your home’s interior is interfering with your ability to relax after a long day, it is time to plan an interior renovation.
Little changes can greatly enhance your enjoyment of your home. From fresh paint and trim, to new flooring, remodeling can dramatically improve your peace of mind.

Aging-in-Place
Aging-in-Place is the remodeling industry’s term for renovations that are made to residences to make them more accessible. From adding ramps to entry ways, to widening doorways, to adding a zero threshold shower to a first floor bathroom, aging-in-place renovations make your home easier to navigate for persons who are either confined to a wheelchair, or just generally have difficulty getting around. Regardless of what you call it, remodeling your home to make it more accessible will make it more comfortable. These renovations tend to improve your home’s resale value, as well.
