Kevin and his crew did an absolutely outstanding job repairing and renovating a cottage for us on Tybee after Irma storm damage. From the new bathroom with the custom marble tile shower to the carpentry associated with repairing the living room built-ins and the custom washer/dryer closet, to the custom kitchen installation and tile backsplash - all of the work was impeccable.
Kevin and his team were always extremely responsive and provided the highest level of professionalism. All work was completed on time and on budget. I would highly recommend Kevin and American Craftsman Renovations to anyone for any residential project. Photos by Back River Photography.

I live in Michigan and recently bought a home here in Savannah as I fell in love with the city and want to spend more time here. Not having a great deal of money to spend on this second home I bought a foreclosed property that was in bad shape but close to Forsythe Park. I was told it would be difficult to find a good contractor as so much rehabilitation is going on in Savannah. To my great relief I accidentally found Kevin and couldn't be more grateful. He immediately understood what I wanted ... a solid rebuild but not an expensive complete rehab. While he is very polite I was still a bit distrustful as I've had some bad experiences with contractors in the past but my reservations were laid to rest when I returned to Savannah some months later and found his work to be thorough and affordable. He is a man of his work and a true professional. (Even one of his workers told me he had never worked for such an honest boss before.) I plan on doing some additional work next year and will definitely ask him to be my contractor again. I highly recommend him to you as well.

Kevin is the consummate professional. He does what he says he will do and in a timely manner. He stands by his work and believes in doing things right the first time. I highly recommend ACR for any of your remodeling needs

American Craftsman Renovations exceeded all of our expectations ! Awesome customer service with attention to detail. Schedule was precisely what was discussed and daily follow-up with the owner was exceptional.
Our home had significant damage from the recent Hurricane Matthew and the time and energy spent by American Craftsman Renovations to assure customer service was more than expected! They also were directly involved with my insurance company every step of the way to assist in supporting the reconstruction needs.
Anyone will be hard pressed to find a contractor who delivers this level of consistent service in the Southeast. The owner takes ownership of all his projects and makes you feel as if you are the only customer. As a storm victim and needing to work with the insurance company for complete resolution, American Craftsman Renovations was there with patience, professionalism, and timely delivery of quality work.

Our family used American Craftsman to add an addition on to our Savannah home, and the beautiful craftsmanship has added new life to our aging house!
Kevin was very kind and professional when we spoke with him, he took time to bring our dream to life. The work was finished on time and at the price we agreed to, if you're in and around the Savannah area and need an addition, I highly recommend calling American Craftsman Renovations.

We have worked with Kevin on several projects over the years and his work has been excellent. We are considering some additional renovations to our deck along with adding a shower to our building. I would only work with American Craftsman Renovations in the future based on our past experiences.
They came in on time and at the budget we set.

This was an interesting experience working with Kevin from American Craftsman. I really enjoyed my initial conversation with him, but his communication about when he'd complete my small project was not great. He ultimately finished in a timely manner, but neglected to send me an invoice until a week later, when I was on vacation. A day after sending the invoice, he leaves me a voicemail message threatening to put a lien on my home if I didn't pay him right away. When I was back in the country and reached out to him, I offered to pay via credit card, paypal, or venmo so we could settle up quickly. He stated he only takes checks and threatened me again. I then offered to direct deposit a check for him to expedite payment, but his belligerence continued and he demanded that I FedEx him a check, which I ultimately did. He was very aggressive and made me feel really uncomfortable. I could never recommend American Craftsman to anyone after this experience.

Comment from American Craftsman Renovations, Inc.:
Matt Kelsay's version of the chain of events is just as misleading as was his representation of himself in our initial contact. Matt Kelsay is not a homeowner, he works for a property investment company, Sweetwater Captiol Advisors. Had he advised me, that the property was not his property, I would have declined to help him. He told me that he had a contract on his home and that it needed some masonry repair so that it would not hold up the closing of the sale of his home. I advised him that we are very busy due to all of the repair work needed due to Hurricane Matthew, and that I would work it in as soon as possible. We completed the work the following week. I reached out to Kelsay via text, because that is how he had been communicating with me. He did not respond. When he did finally respond he asked for me to email the invoice. The next day he requested a W9. We filled out the form and sent it back immediately. He informed me that he would drop the check in the mail that day. 10 days passed with no check. I reached back out and informed Mr. Kelsay that if he did not respond we would place a lien on the property, which is a contractors only tool to recover funds owed by delinquent clients. At this point he informed me that it wasn't his property and the accountant forgot to send the check and that it was no big deal because he has a Net 30 days to pay. At no time was Net 30 ever discussed as an acceptable time frame to pay the bill. At that time I gave Mr. Kelsay another 4 days to pay the bill. We are a licensed general contracting firm. We don't sell products over the internet. We don't accept credit cards or paypal.
We have completed over 50 large projects for property investment companies in the past, and our experience has always been the same. They have all been slow to pay. Once again, had I known the work was for a property investment company, we would've declined the project. We have many local references that you can speak to, and view our work with your own eyes. It is a shame that I have to respond to a negative review not on the basis of our work but on the basis my willingness to take action to recover money that is owed to us.

Kevin and his crew remodeled our kitchen this summer. They were polite, tidy and (very important) on time. The custom built cabinets are really beautiful and functional. We are happy with the work and are using them for additonal remodel work.

Kevin and his crew at American Craftsman Renovations did an outstanding job in transforming my small half-bath into a master bathroom. They were timely, efficient, and courteous. Everyone at ACR takes pride in their work, and the quality of construction reflects it. Kevin is honest and diligent, ensuring quality and efficiency throughout the process. He told me they would start at the beginning of June and finish in early July, and that's exactly what happened. I could not be happier with the results from ACR's work, and I would recommend them to anyone with remodeling needs.

From start to finish, Kevin and his entire crew were awesome to work with. Even when plans got changed, they made it happen. We have loved our remodeled kitchen and dining room. So has everyone else that has seen it. I would highly recommend them for any of your remodeling needs.

My master bathroom was old and needed updating. I called American Craftsman Renovations and met Kevin on site. He and I discussed my thoughts and ideas and he quickly turned around a detailed estimate. I was impressed with Kevin's attention to detail and customer service from the very beginning. Since we would be living in the house during the renovation, I knew that these qualities would be paramount.
Kevin and his guys were all very professional, friendly and knew what they were doing. The quality of the craftsmanship in all aspects of the project impressed me; tile work an, cabinets in particular.
The job was completed on time and on budget. Kevin was there every step of the way to answer questions and to keep us updated on the project. I would use American Craftsman Renovations in the future and would and do recommend them for any home improvement job.
