Critical: Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness The worst quality of work ever. I wasted $38,000 for a basement kitchen living room remodel. So many mistakes to name on this review. I left full review on BBB so please read it before deciding on using this company. Services: Installation, Remodeling, Flooring

We cannot say enough about Craftsmen Home Improvements. Jim and Kim listened to our needs and were able to turn a design into our dream kitchen. Kim and Jim knew they were helping to not just provide a design or service--they were helping design and personalize our home. They considered aspects that I would have never, ever thought of! Something I specifically appreciated was the up front conversation regarding budget.
We set our budget and they provided us options that we could realistically expect. They were great to work with as was their team. Mike and Mike, the installers, were very professional and courteous. They became apart of our family while they were working in our home. If I had to do it over again, I would choose Kim and Jim with Craftsmen Home Improvements. Thank you so much! *******photo is before (on top) and after (on bottom) prior to painting*******

Craftsmen Home Improvements is great to work with. I had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin McCloskey and Doug Readnower. They are both very pleasant and easy to work with. I live in the Cincinnati area and I got in contact with Mr. McCloskey first, from the Dayton store. After speaking with him, we realized that I actually needed to talk to Mr. Readnower, down in the Cincy store. After meeting with Mr. Readnower, he helped me realize my dream kitchen could actually become a reality.
They have finance options, I saved $750 and now I have an amazing kitchen, complete with everything I need for family dinners and entertaining. From their customer service, to their showroom, from their quality to their speed, this was a great company and a great group of individuals to work with!

Their workmanship and materials are excellent. The installers top notch. My only issue with this company is their management not doing what they say they will do. They should learn to keep their word. On numerous occasions the manager(s) would promise a date but end up rescheduling it. This happened 4 times on this small project. If the managers would learn to properly follow up and keep their word. This would be a 5 star company.

I had my kitchen completely gutted and started fresh. This required changes in the walls, flooring, water lines, and electric lines. My kitchen could have been on a TV show with the drastic changes from "before" and "after." The new kitchen is stunning and easily increased the value of my home by more than the cost of the remodel. I carefully chose cabinets, countertops, lighting, and even had custom "built on-site" closets and spice racks that fit into oddly-shaped spaces. Jim and Kim in the northern Cincinnati store could not have been more accommodating, honest, and helpful with suggestions & questions. I heartily recommend Craftsmen Home Improvements.

We've really enjoyed working with Craftsmen Home Improvements during all facets of our projects! We especially enjoyed working with Jim and Kim Grethel. They gave us design options and got to know us as people who happened to also be customers. They listened to our input and ideas and were visible and present throughout our two bathroom remodels. The on-site crews were professional and talented! They took great pride and care in their work. I would highly recommend that you work with these good folks for any home improvement projects that you have!
