Working with John and company on our Master Bathroom remodel exceeded our expectations much to our delight. From the initial planning stage, they helped us decide how best to accomplish our goals. The communication was always responsive and prompt while moving through the planning stage to the work and actual completion of our project. Trent, our Project Manager, was always on hand (via phone, text and in-person) to coordinate the work and workers completing the work being done. There was never an issue they didnt handle or resolvequite amazing. All of their employees and sub-contractors

I would definitely recommend Craftsmanship by John. Super nice people. They have been doing work in Houston for a long time, so if you want someone who will be around long after your project is done, this is your company. Their office is a good example of the beautiful work they do.

I can't believe the transformation in my home. Craftsmanship by John went above and beyond what I thought they could do - and then some!
Went from a closed in dark kitchen, breakfast room and den into a wide open space to everyone to enjoy and tons of light. I am so loving this space now. I highly recommend them for any work you need done - large or small.

I hired Craftsmanship By John to do some work on the front of my house to improve the curb appeal. The work they did exceeded my expectations and the professionalism they showed was impressive. The project manager and his team arrived at my house on time and they kept me updated on the progress as they completed the work. My project wasnt as big as some of the full home remodels I had seen on their website, but I felt like they took great pride in the product they were delivering. Thanks CBJ!
