Craftsman’s Choice Inc. Was formed in 1998 by independent siding, roofing and window installation experts who were frustrated with the status quo in the remodeling business. We are professionals with many years of experience with some of the largest home improvement companies in the Twin Cities. Our experience inspired us to form our own team to offer what many large companies did not: Read more

Service, Integrity and Quality.

Our Vision was to create a company offering superior products, honest salesmanship, and highly skilled installation. To achieve these goals, we formed our own company. Uniting with other skilled craftsmen who share our goals, we have raised the standards of exterior remodeling in Minnesota.

This team of installers became Craftsman’s Choice.

A Minnesota general contractor since 1998

• Craftsman’s Choice Inc. will see to it that manufactures uphold their promises to take care of our clients in regards to any warranty issues.

Comment Recognize Excellence Minneapolis, MN Mar 27, 2012

The workers who worked on our home (Wayne, Joe, and others) provided exceptional service. They were just wonderful - I can't say enough good things about them! I can't stress enough how really great they were. They did such a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job! Also, the guys who put in our windows and did our outdoor work were remarkable as well.

Comment Remodeling Concerns Minneapolis, MN Mar 27, 2012

Because of how large our project was, I was very concerned that everything would end up screwed up, that we wouldn't like it, that the workers wouldn't be responsive to me, and that things would be greatly delayed. None of this was the case. Everything was done in a timely fashion. We were also worried that the workmanship would not be quality, but it was done beautifully.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Minneapolis, MN Mar 27, 2012

I was most satisfied with the fact that the workmen who actually performed the work were very nice to me and treated me with respect and dignity. I greatly appreciated that because we have had circumstances where that was not the case, where they only wanted to deal with my husband. They weren't that way at all. They were very straightforward, friendly, and encouraged me to ask questions. The men who did the actual work were just wonderful - it was a great experience.

Ben was the most helpful and took everything that we wanted into consideration. We really enjoyed working with him.

Comment Remodeling Concerns Maple Grove, MN Jan 02, 2012

We had concerns about scope creep, as it was already a large project to re-side the house and replace windows. We identified a few additional items to add as the project progressed, though CC addressed these in a timely manner at reasonable cost.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Maple Grove, MN Jan 02, 2012

Craftsman's Choice worked through any and all issues or concerns to ensure the project was completed to the specifications agreed upon at the beginning. We have some unique aspects to our house, and CC worked with us to create solutions. They were also flexible as we identified additional areas of work as the project progressed. These items were added and completed at a reasonable price.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

Important Information about choosing a Builder, Remodeler, or Contractor

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.

Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
