Craig just brought our dream house to life in Big Bear - parents bought the lot in 1966 and we finally built a home. From start to finish Craig was a pleasure to work with. He embraced our vision for the finished product and brought a lot of really insightful ideas to the home. Since we were living down the hill at the time, he really was our eyes and ears on site and delivered exactly what we wanted. His motto must be "I can do that" for just about every random idea we had, or "I can help with that" for the stuff that didn't seem to be directly related to being a contractor. Despite the incredible winter of '23 that set us back almost a year, and despite finding an underground drainage river running right through our lot when the snow finally started to melt, he stayed positive and f

I am a licensed architect that has been in Big Bear for over 35 years. I have worked with Craig on my own home for seismic and other upgradings, and the workmanship I have seen to be very good, and punctual. I have also worked with him on other projects of his; I would definitely use him again.

Craig completed a very complex basement buildout of my home which has included the creation of bedrooms, bathrooms, entertainment areas, wine cellar, gentlemen’s tavern, utility room stairway and a movie room. His craftsmanship is second to none. This was a very difficult project that involved overcoming unanticipated challenges delivered by mountain weather and Craig was able to successfully come through this. He leaves no stone unturned to find solutions to challenges along with having an extraordinary eye for attention to detail. He is also well-connected with the City of BB, Sub-Contractors and other vendors. We are very happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend and would definitely work with him again,

Craig helped us remodel our first home. The house is 99 years old, so there were many layers to consider. Craig was ready to go and began demo immediately after we received keys to the house. He was open to new ideas and helped us create a plan as we went. Craig helped us to maintain the charm of the old house while updating it to be timeless. He guided us through decisions about functionality and design, working to update existing aspects of the house and completely alter others. Craig also did a great job managing subcontractors in a new location. Craig went above and beyond, helping us with side projects that we were tackling ourselves, such as letting us use his dump trailer for (a lot) of yard waste. We highly recommend working with Craig to create your custom home.
