**★★★★★ — brfuhrer, June 2015**

> Excellent in all respects: we could not have been more pleased with Chris McCraw and his company on our residential job.  In all regards including with respect to design development as well as construction results as well as followup as well as pricing, he is professional, reliable, creative and conscientious.  Among a vast choice of GCs, design professionals and other construction vendors out there, he stands out as among the best, and we could not recommend him more highly.

**★★★★★ — Adam Singer, June 2015**

> Chris was a pleasure to work with for my home renovation.
>
> I purchased a 2 bedroom home that needed extensive renovations. Chris was professional, courteous, and his prices were reasonable. Home renovations tend to result in runaway budgets, but I found that Chris stayed more or less within the budget, which I appreciated.
>
> The best part about working for Chris is that he has an eye for design, so he was able to help me with some decisions that affected the design of the house. His eye for design also allowed me to not sweat the details as much as I would have with a different contractor.
>
> I wouldn't hesitate to use Chris again for future projects. In fact, my sister is already using him for her condo renovation.

**★★★★★ — Von Vonni, Jan. 2015**

> They always came on time and very bery professional! I moved in to a house that was empty for 13 years and we had to do a lot of work from the kitchen and bathrooms, back yard, lighting and painting. I was thinking I have to go through many different contractors to get all of the work done as they were different areas of improvement, but I was very happy to hire Chris, who's company did the entire work! They worked fast and efficient, I would hire them again in the future!

**★★★★★ — Wendy Posner, Jan. 2015**

Chris is one of those guys who goes above and beyond and always takes accountability.  His work is superb.  I highly recommend Chris and his company.  He is an uncommon gem and a joy to work with.

**★★★★★ — Luke Gibson Photography, Jan. 2014**

> I was hired by McCraw Design & Development to photograph a renovation the firm did on a Craftsman house in Venice.  I viewed images of how the house looked before his renovation, and there was a huge improvement in how it looks after the renovation. It ended up very gorgeous, and I could see the high attention to detail everywhere I photographed.
> Chris McCraw was a pleasure to work with, and I'd highly recommend his firm for contracting, design, and development of one's residence.

**★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2014**

> Chris is incredibly detail oriented and has great taste, which can be rare in a general contractor! Our interior design firm loves putting Chris in front of the client because he's extremely intelligent, industry-saavy and likable. We highly recommend him for remodel jobs that require a refined professional eye.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What are the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are the cabinets Columbia Rift White Oak Composite? If not, could you possibly say what they are? Thank you so much.

A: The cabinetry is completely custom (there is not a brand).  They were constructed out of rift, white oak.
