The Verdict

Craft Builders Construction treats solar installations like the complex electrical projects they are, not like a commodity sale. We analyzed reviews spanning roof replacements, solar and battery systems, and full kitchen remodels. One homeowner hired them for solar after another electrician left code violations across the panel, and Chris Beck tracked down every problem, got the work re-inspected, and delivered a functioning system tied to the monitoring app. Reviews repeatedly flag two patterns. First, the crew stays tidy during multi-week projects. One couple lived next door during a 14-month whole-home build and noted the team cleaned up daily, a detail that matters when strangers are tearing apart your house. Second, Chris and Jennifer explain technical decisions in plain language instead of rushing you toward a signature. When prior contractors cut corners on moisture barriers or left stucco compromised, they designed repair plans that outlasted the reviewer's mortgage. (One homeowner admitted to hovering over the crew with questions daily, and they answered every one without complaint.) If you want the cheapest quote with no follow-up questions, shop elsewhere. But if you need someone who'll rewire a botched electrical job and still hit your year-end tax deadline, the premium buys accountability that survives the first rainstorm.

If you're choosing purely on speed, a larger installer might finish faster. But if you want a contractor who'll chase down code violations left by the last guy and explain why they're rerouting your conduit, Craft Builders is the safer long-term bet.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Stefan G.
YelpJan 13, 2024

Stefan G. returned to Craft Builders three times over several years—for a roof replacement, a solar array and a house battery installation. He found Chris and Jennifer friendly and flexible; they reshaped schedules to meet his year‑end tax deadline so the work finished when he needed it. The solar and battery install turned into a tricky fix‑up: prior electrical work from another contractor hadn’t been to code, so Chris dug into the mess, identified the right fixes, repaired the issues, and shepherded the system through inspection. In the end the panels, battery and the SW/app all came online and passed inspection. He’s already lined up his next project with them: a bathroom remodel, which underlines the ongoing trust he’s placed in the crew.

Karen M.

Karen M. discovered Craft on Yelp and hired them to build her dream home — a 14-month build next door while she lived in a neighbor’s rental so she could keep a close eye on the project. Living so near, she witnessed everything from demolition to the final finish work and found the experience reassuring: the crew worked hard, stayed unusually tidy, and took visible pride in doing the job correctly. Chris and Jennifer repeatedly stopped to patiently walk through options and explore details until she felt confident the choices would deliver what she wanted. Over time she realized she didn’t have to hover because the company treated safety, quality, and her satisfaction as priorities — honest owners, a professional crew, and steady communication. She ended up with a home she loves and already plans to bring Craft back for a second electric fireplace and perhaps a pergola, knowing they’ll handle any tweaks with the same care.

Paul V.
YelpMay 23, 2017

Paul V. bought a 1967 home a little over a year ago and quickly discovered that previous owners had leaned on a handyman neighbor for many of the “upgrades,” leaving a handful of problems hidden until a heavy winter rain exposed them. He fixed a few smaller items with help from electrician and plumber friends, but persistent leaks — water through the roof, water between the fascia and gutter, moisture getting into the stucco from a compromised moisture barrier, leaking windows and sliding doors, and a poorly built skylight tunnel — proved beyond what he could coordinate alone. After struggling to get contractors to return calls, Chris Beck answered, came out with his partner Pat Gomez, and mapped out a plan to address all the issues. The project is almost complete, and Paul walked away impressed by their honesty, the way they explained what they were doing and why at each step, and the clear quality of the repairs. He liked being able to watch and question the crew, and they always took the time to answer him. The detail that stood out was their combination of responsiveness and workmanship — repairs that feel built to last — and he plans to call them again for future work.

Pete F.
YelpDec 5, 2022

Pete F. hired Craft Builders last year to strip off an old tile roof and install heavy composition shingles on a steep, many-angled roof. He found Chris and Jennifer personally engaged throughout the process — honest, attentive, and offering competitive pricing. Their installation crew tackled the tricky slope and complex geometry without cutting corners, and the roof still looks great a year later. He also noticed they handle kitchen remodels and other construction work, so the relationship feels broader than a single job. The detail that stuck with him most was how well the crew navigated a difficult roof and left a durable, clean finish — he plans to call them back for future projects.
