I recently had the pleasure of working with Craftsman's Choice for the installation of Hardie Backer siding on my home in Woodbury, Minnesota, and I couldn't be happier with the results.From the start, the crew was punctual, beginning the project on the promised date and finishing right on schedule. The craftsmanship displayed by the workers was truly impressive; their attention to detail is evident in the beautiful dark grey siding with white trim around the windows. It has completely transformed the look of my home.There were a couple of minor issues that arose during the process, one being an electrical inspection concern. However, Craftsman's Choice promptly addressed the problem by having their electrician fix it without any hassle. Additionally, there were some touch-up painting needs, which the painters also resolved quickly and efficiently.Overall, I highly recommend Craftsman's Choice for their professionalism, skilled craftsmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction. My new siding looks fantastic, and I appreciate the responsive service throughout the project.

Craftsman's Choice did an amazing job replacing all our windows, siding, stone, and soffits & fascia! Not only did Ben do a great job walking us through all the decisions, but the different crews all lived up to their brand promise of being craftsman. Will definitely be recommending them to friends and family who need new siding or windows installed.

Craftsman's Choice completed a full residing of our home along with some great suggested improvements. Everyone we worked with was professional and very friendly. We started with Matt Enfield, our sales representative. He walked us through siding types, colors and options. We landed on James Hardy Mountain Sage with white trim. He also recommend clear cedar for the ceilings of our multiple walk outs, which turned out amazing. Matt turned us over to Phil LaFond, our project manager, who ensured we had the right crews on site and all the details were taken care of. Best of all, Phil and all the crews were able to complete the job under a tight deadline and have the house ready for our daughter's high school graduation party. If you are looking for a solid, reliable contractor, Craftsman's Choice is the one to talk to.

Craftman's choice put James Hardy siding on our home over 20 years ago. I called them over a concern with the siding chipping away by our deck. They had installed it according to Hardy's instructions, but Hardy updated the method of installation because of this issue. Craftsman's choice stuck to thier word and honored thier warranty. They came out and fixed it for me! This is a company with integrity that you just don't find anymore!

The whole process of refurbishing our deck was fabulous! From the estimate to the finished product there was exceptional customer service. The people at Craftsman's Choice are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The craftsman that did the deck work were courteous, neat, clean and tidy. They were also extremely fastidious about making sure the installation was perfect. Craftsman's Choice also put Hardie Board siding on our house years ago and with the professional installation and top of the line product, it still looks like new. I LOVE this company! In my opinion, get a quote and design from Craftsman's Choice and there is no need to shop further.

Ben and his crew were great to work with. Ben showed an appreciation for the details of an old house and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! As expected when working on a 100 year old house, there were some surprises along the way, but the communication was excellent, the workers professional, and things were done when they were supposed to be done. HIGHLY recommend!

We went through a different contractor for new windows in 2021. We had nothing but issues with them and even had water coming in this fall. I was referred to Craftsman's Choice to fix this issue since I was sick & tired of dealing with the other company.The owner himself came out to take a look at the problem and we got it fixed today! I'm so grateful for this headache to be over & having a fix that I know I can trust. I will for sure be returning to Craftsman's Choice when we are ready to do more window replacements.

A hailstorm went through the area and several roofers came by and said I had damage. They did not get on the roof. I called Craftsman’s Choice and asked them to come out. They have always done excellent work for me in the past(siding, windows, and deck). They did a complete roof inspection and said that no new roof was needed.Thank you Craftsman’s ChoiceChuck FunderburkApple Valley

Craftsman's Choice has done it again. Several years back, the Craftsman's Choice crew did an excellent job re-siding our home with Hardie Siding and helping with the design we were after. Just recently, Phil LaFond and his team did a fantastic Hardie Siding repair on the side of the house where an old furnace/AC unit existed. They matched the color and styling beautifully. My wife and I can't be more happy with the repair completed.Thank you again Craftsman's Choice for doing excellent work and being very responsive to my concerns and questions.

We worked with Craftsman's Choice about three years ago to replace the siding on our house and, at the time, we were very pleased with the work. Fast forward to about a month ago, we had our air conditioner replaced and the company doing the work accidentally broke a siding board. We called Craftsman's Choice only to ask them how we could order a replacement board thinking that we would just install the new board ourselves. To our very pleasant surprise, they told us that not only would they order the new board for us, but that they would install it for us. The whole process was very quick and the level of service far surpassed our expectations. Thank you so much and we can't say enough how much we appreciate your efforts to go above and beyond!

Craftsman's Choice installed James Hardie siding, soffits, gutters a new entry, a screen porch, and 9 new windows in 2009. When I decided to get 16 more windows there was no question who I wanted to the job. They used Marvin windows with nailing flanges not insert windows. The windows are fiberglass on the outside and wood on the inside and the wood and trim was a match to the woodwork in the house. They did all the finish work inside and outside the house. It is a beautiful job. The Installer Lee did a great job and was great to work with.

Ben from Craftsman's Choice, Inc. provided professional consulting regarding a siding issue I'm experiencing caused by the insulation building practices the original builder used back in 2000 in the rim joist area which adversely affected how the siding lies against the sheathing. Ben is very experienced and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to get me educated and comfortable with the problem explanation and process to remedy once I'm ready.

Four years ago I needed to replace the siding on my house, and after meeting with several companies I decided to go with Craftsman's Choice. I was not disappointed with the results. They were prompt, professional, and did a wonderful job replacing the siding on my home. To this day it looks fantastic and I take great comfort in knowing that I will have no issues with the siding for decades to come due to the quality of their work.Recently I had an issue with a leak in one of the vents on my roof. Though the roof and vent were not installed by them (the roof was installed by a different company by the previous owner of the house) I decided to call Craftsman's Choice to get some advice on how to address my issue. Once again they were prompt, professional, and knew exactly what I needed. They didn't try to oversell me on anything. (I believe the exact quote was "While I'd love to sell you a new roof, your roof is in good shape and you just don't need a replacement right now.") They took care of the vent issue, kept me updated on the timeline, communicated when the project was going on, and shared photos of the before, during and after they replaced and fixed what wasn't working.Craftsman's Choice's upfront honesty and quality of work in both of these project is why I not only put five stars on this review, but recommend them when people are looking for a siding or roofing company. If I need a new roof in the future, or have any other housing projects that they cover, I know they are going to be the people that I call.

Craftsman's Choice is very professional. For roofing repair they tell you clearly what is needed and also let you know what is not needed. Their approach is refreshing and allows you to make informed decisions about the project. They are prompt, courteous, and service oriented.

We were clients in 2021-2022 for whole-house siding (Hardie and cedar Shou Sugi Ban plank) and roofing (asphalt shingle and raised-seam metal), along with exterior painting, new gutters, soffits and fascia, a new front door, and construction of a portico with coordinated window surrounds on the facade. We were very happy with the entire process from start to finish, and we always felt that our project was in good hands. Each person we encountered, from information and sales representatives to office-based personnel, to the on-site teams, was friendly, responsive and professional. CC was attentive to details and also willing to be flexible and creative as we finalized the design aspects of the project. They educated us about the technical considerations of various products and their installation and maintenance. Forecasting and timelines were realistic, and so was their problem-solving when the inevitable little speed bumps popped up along the way. We feel that CC provided great service, pricing, and value. We continue to recommend Craftsman's Choice to family, friends and neighbors.

Craftsman’s Choice is aptly named. The three craftsmen that worked on my door installation were professional and skillful workers. They took great care in their with work as if it was their own home.

Craftsman's Choice is our 'security blanket', full-service contractor. We've trusted Ben and his team twice with our home's exterior and again recently for a ridge vent installed on our garage. From the materials to the installers - Craftsman's Choice is simply the best contractor we've ever worked with -Period.

Highly Recommend .We had Craftman’s Choice replace our roof after a hail storm. They took care of everything from start to finish and did a professional and quality job. No debris left in yard, no clean-up left for me to do.I had an insurance company that dragged their feet, and Craftman’s Choice and Matt (owner) were excellent in working with me and being patient with the situation. You can tell a lot about a company when something goes wrong with them getting paid, and they handled it gracefully and professionally. I’d work with them again.

Ryan

1674507916

I live in NY and called Craftsman's Choice to inquire about the finish details of a project posted to their website. Chris not only humored this request but took the time to look through old work orders to answer my questions. To do all that for someone who geographically can't be your customer says a lot; I can only imagine how responsive they must be to their customers. If you ever expand east, let me know!

Craftsman’s Choice does great work, operate with professional and skilled teams and provide outstanding service. You don’t have to worry or wonder if the job will be finished correctly and to a high standard. I would highly recommend them, and have referred them to several neighbors and friends.

If in Minnesota this is your go to contractor.I have used them for siding, roof, garage and windows. I must say they are they are the best. They are truly amazing and stand by their work.They will walk you through the details of the project and make it as smooth as possible.Awesome staff and crews. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the need of any home improvement projects.I had James Hardie siding installed with a new garage door, all new windows and patio door and a roof installed by craftsman. The work was top notch.

I choose Craftsman’s Choice for residing my house based on their responsiveness to my input and questions, their through explanation of all of James Hardie’s product choices, their flexibility on scheduling, their commitment to complete job before moving on, their provision of list of customer addresses and colors used, reviews, their price and one page contract form that included all possible choices, their ability to make and repair porticos, help with color choices, and their status as a James Hardie Preferred Elite installer.Mike was a great sales person who was very good at helping me work through the many options. There is much more involved in residing a house than you might expect. I wanted to have my jog done during the winter to minimize damage to my gardens and shrubbery. Very cold winter weather delayed start time but they were able to begin towards the end of March 2022. With a six-person crew, they were able to complete the job within one week.The crew did a great job. They were real experts who were highly skilled and knew the right way to do the job. Re-painting trim work had to be delayed until temperatures were above 40 degrees. This is something they do that other contractors might not. They do it because factory painted white trim tends to get smudged during installation and to cover nail heads. I have almost always been disappointed by the work of painting contractors but the painters who did my job did a great job. Clean up was good but be aware that clean up in winter time will leave some nails and debris buried in snow/ice. Work also involved redoing the support brackets and ceiling for the portico over my back door. I provided a bracket design that I had seen online and their shop was able to replicate in 4” x 4” solid cedar at a reasonable price. The underside of the portico roof was relined with tongue-in-groove cedar in place of the previous aluminum cladding.Communication throughout the process was excellent. Mike always got back to me promptly for the sales part of the process as did the project manager, Jeff. I am really happy that I chose Craftsman’s Choice for my house residing project. I am delighted with the way things turned out and with their friendly and helpful staff. Kudos to all.
