Very clean work space. Good communication. They were willing to let me do the finish work to save on cost.

Moore

We chose CDR after an extensive research process. We considered other design-build firms, as well as architects and separate general contractors. For the people we considered closely, we visited former and/or active job sites and spoke with several former/current clients...

David & Helen

They really came through on helping the design we had in our heads come to fruition. The lead carpenter, Noah was great to work with and listened really well. I appreciated the attention to all the little details. We lived...

The team turned our typical old house scary basement into an amazing family space complete with closed off laundry room, bathroom and storage that is now our favorite room in our house. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was excellent....

This is the second time my wife and I have hired Wade and his team from Craftsman Design & Renovation. Our house is a 1912 Craftsman, and they have completely renovated the porch/carport, and the ground floor rooms except the...

Both my husband and I were thoroughly impressed with both the craftsmanship and professionalism of Craftsman Design and Remodel. The design, carpentry skills, and execution of both our living and dining room far exceeded our expectations. We were kept in...

Of the many design-build choices in Portland, we feel fortunate to have used Craftsman Design and Renovation to re-do our kitchen. Their high professionalism and regard for our family’s daily routines, with an open atmosphere of problem solving and design...

Pete & Raelene

As we reflect on the remodel, we heartily agree that CDR has been all we hoped for. The design services, project management, and subcontractors have all been top shelf. And the most critical element, your timely availability and communications, has...

Superlative and satisfying — those two words sum up our feelings toward everyone at CDR. We began with a general vision in our mind’s eye and thanks to the creative design process we ended with a finished product that is...

I love it! These cabinets are so beautiful, I can’t imagine that they weren’t already here. And that’s the sign of a project done well.

We had a very positive experience with Craftsman Design and Renovation. The outcome of our renovation exceeded expectations. Wade did an excellent job with the design, (carpenters) Jeff and Hector were amazing – very skilled and professional, and the subcontractors...

Marci

Wade built the house of my dreams! For years, I’d said that my dream house was a traditional Arts and Crafts home in my old West Hills neighborhood, never believing that it could be possible. Wade helped transform my cramped...

Amanda

The best decision I ever made was to work with you. It is obvious you are skilled at what you do, professional, and honest. What a reassuring feeling for a homeowner.

Gail

Craftsman Design and Renovation did a significant master bathroom remodel for us. The project tasks and work schedule were very well defined and managed with confidence. The workers, being skilled craftsmen, did a commendable job. Highly recommended!

Bart & Karen

It was a delight to find Wade. Not only was he pleasant to work with, he came in on time and under budget, and you’d never know where he repaired the ant and water damage on our old house. His...

Dale & Darcy

Our house went from being the neighborhood’s neglected stepchild to the belle of the ball.

Lester & Heather

The architect/contractor was responsive to our needs for an aesthetically pleasing and functional porch. The architect/contractor provided various design options and educated us about how to restore our porch to a period-appropriate design. We are more delighted with our house...

D. Wise

This project was our first remodel and we had no idea what to expect. It was important for us to work with someone who shared our vision of creating a space that honored the attention to detail and the aesthetic...

John & Julie

Your designs for our kitchen and bathrooms were visually compelling, beautifully efficient and, amazingly, both practical and luxurious. The work of your employees and subcontractors in executing these designs was of the highest quality.

Frosti

It has been more than a year now since Craftsman Design and Renovation gutted our kitchen and two bathrooms and rebuilt them in keeping with the Arts and Crafts style of our home. We couldn’t be more pleased with the...

Steve

Knowing that [the front porch] would be the focal point of the house, we wanted only the finest artisans in all of Portland to bring the old porch back to life – this had become a labor of love! My...

C. Smith

I can’t say enough good things about Wade and his crew. They were creative, responsive, prompt and unobtrusive, resulting in a bathroom that wows all who see it. Just walking in it every morning brings a smile to my face.

J & T Jewett

Wade Freitag and the Craftsman Design crew bring together the best in design, creativity, quality construction, and project management. When we first met with them, we had some tentative plans in mind. With Wade’s experience and careful listening, he was...

Ruth & Jim

Craftsman listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve, and then came through with superb design, materials, and construction. It always felt like a collaborative process; they were not afraid to tell us if they thought our ideas were problematic,...

Marty & Angela

Along with my husband, Michael M, we engaged Craftsman for a whole house remodel of a 1909 craftsman, recently-purchased home following our relocation to Portland. Having done two architect / contractor remodels previously, we found the experience of a design/build...

It may sound trite but Craftsman has the people, and a process that results in a very fetching product. The expressions on the faces of neighbors and friends who toured the remodeled kitchen, bathrooms and attic told a lot. Comments...
