We can not suggest Better Built Craftsman enough. We used them to remodel our master bathroom, and Rocky, Tyler and Chris were all phenomenal. They communicated the whole time, took care of a lot of the logistics, and the work itself looks amazing. We had concern with some tile we picked out and Rocky even researched the best sealant for that tile and got some for us. He definitely goes out of his way for customers. We will definitely use them again!

I can’t recommend this company enough. I have used other people for other projects in my home and always been disappointed to some extent, so I was apprehensive about trying to find someone to take on this kitchen job.
But I read online reviews and decided to call Better Built Craftsman, and am glad I did.
This was a major kitchen renovation that could have taken a longer time and been a major disruption in my home but they worked neatly, steadily, and actually finished earlier than I anticipated, even though we added an extra room to be painted in the middle of the job.
I felt comfortable

I had an old avocado small bathroom. They turned it into a great guest bathroom with a steam generator. Very good with animals in the house as well.

Rocky, Tyler and crew did an awesome job on our full kitchen remodel. We went down to the floor joices and wall studs to fix several challenges. We love our kitchen and they did everything right on budget.
We also added a walk-in closet with red cedar wood organizers which had to be totally customized due to the odd room shape. Very impressive. I fully recommend them for any home building project if you want it done correctly.

Rocky, Mike and Greg, did such an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. They were always on time, cleaned the areas of work each day and friendly. I recommend them highly. I will definitely use them again for and future work in our home.

The bathrooms were remodeled at my 60's built home. They are beautiful. Every time I take a shower I feel like I am at a spa. The craftsmanship used was excellent.
