Working with Cranland

I dont normally write reviews as I rarely have the time but these guys are so worth it. We had 8 contractors come out to look at our basement over the last year plus and take pictures and measurements and then we would never hear from them again. It was super frustrating and I was starting to lose hope that our basement would ever get renovated. Literally within minutes of submitting an inquiry on their site Ricky called me and scheduled a time to come have a look. He was so courteous and personable upon our first meeting. Within a few days he had the estimate to me and then once we signed the agreement with him we started looking at start times. Not once did I feel like he was difficult to get ahold of which was such a change from our previous experiences. He has always been prompt to respond and does exactly as he says he will. Mike was here for most of the basement reno and we could not have enjoyed having him more. He was polite and professional and even my two year old got excited to see him everyday. These guys are really the best. Our basement turned out better than I could have expected and even with some changes along the way I could not be happier with the result. I am so excited to have these guys here again soon to do our bathrooms and kitchen and deck. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Rick is easy to work with, and very professional. He takes pride in his work and is a talented finish carpenter and builder. We plan on using Rick and his crew for servers other projects on our 1886 Colonial Home restoration/renovation.

Kitchen and Windows

Cranland Carpentry is an excellent company to work with. We recently used the company extend our bedroom closet and final product was everything we hoped for. Rick was quick and responsive to all of my wife's questions during the planning process and was able to start the job sooner than originally anticipated (which was great to get the job done early in the summer). When doing the actual project Rick and Mike were on time each day and exceptionally prepared. Setting up a makeshift work area in the front yard, I was impressed that they had a pop-up tent ready to put up in case of rain, and of course it was pouring out all afternoon. That did not stop or slow them down at all, as they continued to work through the elements, and managed to finish the job without making a mess of my house despite all of the mud. Rick's attention to detail became obvious as he explained to me the inevitable difficulties that came up with the project, and how he was dealing with each situation to produce the best quality product possible. He clearly takes great pride in his work and values what is most important about a job, and that is making sure the customer is completely satisfied. We are planning to use Cranland Carpentry again in the near future.

We are thrilled with our new pool screen house rebuilt by Cranland! Rick does excellent work, and had great ideas and solutions for our project. He was professional in communicating with us from beginning to end and the whole project was completed timely.

Custom Fireplace Mantle and Pool House Remodel

I have a rental property in Hanover Massachusetts, but I live in San Jose California, so it's very hard to find professional craftsmen when you need a house repair long distance.

I found Richard from Cranland Carpentry on Google, and I asked him to look into a list of repairs needed at my house, including replacing corner boards and fascia, replacing windows, repairing rotted garage door weather stripping, pressure washing and having a vent put in behind my stove to exhaust the fumes from cooking. Richard jumped in right away and started giving me suggestions for the windows, and while he didn't do the pressure washing or the exhaust behind the stove, he found other workers in the area that did those other tasks as their specialties. He basically worked as a general contractor making sure everything got done in a timely manner.

My tenant was so impressed with Richard that he recommended him to some of his clients for work that they needed to have done. Anyway, after the initial jobs were completed the tenant asked if we could replace one more window which Richard did, all the windows look terrific. After each job was completed, Richard sent me pictures and called me and explained what he had done. He always provided quotes beforehand and the jobs came in at quote or under quote. Finally, I was having a problem with water going into my garage and we brainstormed on ways to fix the issue. Richard found a person who specialized in driveway repair and fixed the last 12 feet of the driveway. That job was also done perfectly. I'm going to have my roof replaced in the next few years, and I will use Richard at Cranland Carpentry for that work and for any other work I have in the future. Cranland Carpentry is awesome, and Richard is a very conscientious, meticulous, expert Carpenter whom I would highly recommend without reservation.

General Contracting Services

Ricky was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! I am a part of a HOA and completing projects like this can be a headache because of all the requirements, but Ricky made it a breeze! Every email communication was quick and we were able to get approved by the HOA and permitted through the town without any stress on my end. Once the work began, Ricky and Smitty completed the job quickly and everything came out exactly as I pictured! They even went above and beyond to build a dividing wall to direct water flow away from the house. I am so happy with their work and will definitely be using them again next year to reconstruct the rest of the deck!

These guys were amazing! Quality work and communication throughout. They put up a coffered ceiling in my dining room in just 3 days. Very respectful, and hard working. I am having them come back to do my office next. Just can't say enough positive things about the entire experience!

Custom Coffered Ceilings

I had Cranland Carpentry come out to give me an estimate on getting an entire wall done with shiplap. Price was great so we decided to go ahead expecting to have it done in a week or so. Rick said he'd be there next day. He was there first thing in the morning and done before I was home from work. Came out great. Can't be happier with the work and the service was incredible. Will be referring Cranland Carpentry for sure and will most definitely be using them in the future!

My wife and I highly recently hired Cranland Carpentry for some exterior window repair work and we are completely satisfied with the work that was performed. Rick Schneider who is the proprietor is not only an excellent carpenter, he is also friendly and has excellent communication skills. We highly recommend Cranland Carpentry.

I have used Cranland Carpentry twice and both times Ricky has been very professional, thorough, and goes above and beyond to make sure you are totally satisfied with the job. He clearly takes pride in his work and I will be using their services again.

Very very happy with service. Had odd job of removing old stove and cutting a laminate counter that needed to be cut to precision. Also had some outside work and wall repair. Richard was on time, very knowledgeable, work was perfect at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Cranland Carpentry and I will be using them for any further carpentry needs!

Our process sets you up for success

Our Process:

Phase 1: Pre-Construction Phase

Over-the-phone-Consultation
Here is where you share your vision with us. This is when we learn about you, your home, and your vision. This is the first of several conversations that will serve towards getting our team into your mindset regarding the project.

Budget Bracketing
Based on your vision and goals, we will provide several tiers of pricing to find a scope and budget that personally caters to your needs.

Thorough Planning
Now is when we put our pens to paper to lay out specific scopes of work, sort through material selections, and communicate expectations for your specific project. These steps will allow us to dial in on an accurate budget and will aim to minimize the unexpected before physically starting your project.

Scheduling
Homes, additions, and renovations require diligent planning and coordination. Before the physical work begins, it is imperative for us to map out a practical, efficient, and cohesive timeline before boots hit the ground.

Phase 2: Construction Phase

Throughout Phase Two, we keep full transparency readily available using state-of-the-art project management software that allows us to invite our clients to see past, current, and projected progress of their home renovation or build. This will be your first glimpse into our company portal where you will be directly engaged in the planning of material and budgeting selections.

Within the portal, you will see daily updates and pictures posted to your project's portfolio. You will have visualized charts and graphs that show projected timelines. Material selections can be made using our provided catalogs, and change orders can be made at the click of a a button with budget changes presented clearly and transparently. This is an engaging way for customers to regularly stay in tune with their projects without feeling the need to be on site.

Phase 3: Project Completion

The third phase welcomes the end of the journey for your newest home improvement. Once all scopes of work are completed, we conduct a final walk-through to ensure no rock is left unturned. From there, we leave the rest up to you as you enjoy a home that suits you and your family's needs.
