I asked them to make traveling showcases and they did so in the time frame I needed and also with so much attention to detail I was very impressed. These guys are professionals that care about the product they create. I would hire them to make me anything I ever wanted out of wood. While I was there they were making custom mantels and cabinetry that were amazing! Thank you so much Steven and crew! **★★★★★ — Lindsay Hensley, Sept. 2017** > Stephen and his team are amazing to work with. We've worked with them on multiple remodeling projects and they have exceeded our expectations, and then some, every time. We have highly recommended them to many of our friends on projects, as well and everyone has been extremely pleased with the outcome. The quality of their work is above and beyond that of other companies we've worked with and it is what you get every time; it is their standard. They assisted us with the design using a software that allowed us to visualize what we would be getting and worked with us through our many revisions. We have nothing but great things to say about Artisan Renovations! **★★★★★ — Chris Grow, June 2017** > Best experience with a contractor EVER! If you haven't said delightful and contractor in the same sentence before, get ready! Steve and his crew do amazing work and the process has always gone so smoothly. My new kitchen and laundry room are beautiful and I highly recommend Artisan Renovations! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Smith, June 2017** > I have worked with Artisan Renovations through two different remodels. One house was a full scale remodel where they provided all cabinet work for the kitchen and 5 bathrooms and in one house a smaller, but more detailed renovation to the woodwork in the study and family rooms. > The process is incredibly efficient. A visit to the workspace, a discussion of the scope, measurements taken, a quick sketch, followed by a detailed elevation and 3D model of the job approximately 10 days later. Any changes or input at that time are then updated to the elevations quickly, and a timeline is set as well as a start date and final cost projection. The pricing on the company is usually high mid-range when taken in comparison to 2-3 other companies for the same work, but is worth it for the piece of mind and the fact that there are not many 'surprise' increases to cost. > The work has always been exemplary, all members of the work team were professional, on time, clean, and courteous. I have recommended this business to several friends and family members and their experiences have been the same. I was comfortable leaving the work team alone in my home so I could come and go as needed. As we continue to remodel our home we will call on Artisan Renovations for our needs. **★★★★ — Elena McLaughlin, May 2017** > The drawings and work were completely very timely, especially considering the holidays. We truly trusted the company's judgement in the use of the space for our media center and wine rack above the refrigerator. The work was very high quality. I would recommend again. **★★★★★ — gavelhead, May 2017** > Stephen has built custom cabinets with both stained and painted finishes, all furniture quality. I love the 3 dimensional rendered drawings he provides with his proposals. He is accurate, meticulous, and timely with his projects. I am a designer and I really appreciate his willingness to work with my unusual requests. **★★★★★ — Environments&co., May 2017** > Stephen has the unique ability to exceed expectations on jobs with a friendly demeanor even in complex, changing conditions. These particular kiosks were installed in a training environment and have been used by Houston's fire fighters-fighters-in-training for the past ten years. I recently visited the facility and these kiosks look as if they were delivered yesterday. Stephen and his crew delivered these on time, in budget and were great about integrating complex electronics and working with the A/V subcontractors wiring them into the building's infrastructure. I recommend them without reserve. Sean Murphy, Architect. **★★★★★ — Rachael Chadwick, May 2017** > I can't say enough good things about Artisan Renovations! I needed to have my kitchen cabinets updated and Stephen and his crew was wonderful. Everyone was very nice, always showed up on time and were very professional. I had the lower cabinets refaced and they made new uppers. I showed Stephen a few pictures of what I like and he designed exactly what I wanted, even a beautiful accent cabinet. I will be hiring them again for another project in my house. You will not be disappointed if you hire Artisan Renovations! **★★★★★ — Nigel C, April 2017** > We saw Steve's work in a friends kitchen and had no hesitation in hiring his company. Our kitchen was a challenge with curved walnut doors we showed him in a photo. He worked meticulously through every stage to get he kitchen just how we wanted it. Work was done very well, install was clean and the final result was outstanding. We had Steve return to redo our office as we were so happy with the kitchen. Another outstanding project! Can't recommend artisan renovations strongly enough, top quality work, high attention to detail at a very fair price. **★★★★★ — Jared Gaspard, April 2017** > We hired Artisan Renovations originally to re-design our kitchen. We ended up having new floors put down in the kitchen, living room, and dining area. We also had recessed lighting added and mantle work over the fireplace. Steve and his crew did an excellent job on accommodating our requests. We had a few changes along the way but Steve accommodated them quite easily and did not compromise the original schedule. The quality of the custom cabinets and other items turned out great and we stayed on budget!! **★★★★★ — sspray1, April 2017** > Steve did an amazing job in the renovation of my home. We took it back to the studs and Steve built all of my cabinetry in my kitchen and 2 1/2 baths . He also installed wainscoting throughout and built a beautiful entertainment cabinet in my family room. In addition he installed wood beams in my family room. I was pleased with everything that he did. Steve and his crew were always on time and were clean and neat. I recommend him highly!!! **★★★★★ — Linda Marshall, April 2017** > We have had Artisan Renovations do two projects for us, one in 2007 and one in 2016. Both times Stephen and crews were very professional, on time, and very accommodating. Stephen's design work also is exceptional. We have been very pleased with the two renovations that Artisan has completed for us. We certainly will use Artisan again when the opportunity presents itself. We highly recommend Artisan for any renovation work that you may be thinking about completing. ## Selected projects - [Transitional Kitchens - Houston](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-kitchens-houston-pj-vj~2534121) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 22 - [Contemporary Bathrooms-Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bathrooms-houston-tx-pj-vj~2534181) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 10 - [DeSilva Residence-Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/desilva-residence-houston-tx-pj-vj~2458247) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 5 - [Contemporary Kitchens-Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchens-houston-tx-pj-vj~2534132) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 19 - [Custom Millwork-Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-millwork-houston-tx-pj-vj~2452455) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 12 - [Traditional Kitchens- Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchens-houston-tx-pj-vj~2532883) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 20 - [Custom Offices and Built-Ins-Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-offices-and-built-ins-houston-tx-pj-vj~2452465) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 15 - [Custom Closets-Houston, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-closets-houston-tx-pj-vj~2452453) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 5 - [Transitional Dining Room - Design/build project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-dining-room-design-build-project-pj-vj~2465524) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This was a transitional dining room that Artisan Renovations designed and provided line and 3D renderings to the client. - [Traditional Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-bathrooms-pj-vj~2535658) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Custom Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-furniture-pj-vj~2564400) - Location: Katy, TX - Photos: 5 - [Kelley Kitchen - Before and After - WOW!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kelley-kitchen-before-and-after-wow-pj-vj~2592730) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 5 - [Transitional Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-bathrooms-pj-vj~2542039) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/artisan-renovations-pfvwus-pf~1098921091) ## Ideabooks - [Bathroom organization](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/130887408/list/bathroom-organization) — 25 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/3qgvfd) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
