Our story began when owner Robert Kraft developed a love for historic homes at an early age. He became enthralled with a 1767 house near his hometown in Massachusetts, and this sparked his lifelong passion for carpentry. Robert graduated from college with a degree in economics, and after a cross-country road trip to the West Coast, began working as a carpenter in Eugene, Oregon.
In 1979, Robert was serendipitously introduced to the producers of Boston's PBS station. They were about to air a new show and needed a carpenter/caretaker for the home they were renovating. Robert lived in the house and put his carpentry skills to work during the first season of "This Old House, " then returned to Oregon to settle down and build a life.

Every aspect of working with Kraft Custom Construction was exceptional. The Kraft team excels at responsive communication and tracking the details, which for me are keys to building trust, especially since I was living in the condo during most of the project. I couldn't be more pleased with the subcontractors Kraft chose.

Just in case you need a refresher, heres a handy glossary of common construction terms. A dollar amount inserted into the contract as a page marker for something that isnt 100% defined yet.

We have used Kraft Custom Construction for two major remodeling projects, and are completely pleased with not only the end product, but the process as well. Our first project was the remodel of two bathrooms and one powder room. The project was completed AHEAD of schedule and on budget. In addition, KCC created temporary quarters for our bedroom, located in our living room, which worked on very well and they even moved our furniture.
