Poor shoddy work. Doesn't respond to calls. Doesn't live up to guarantees. Poor in everything. I would never recommend Craftsman Direct. If it can be screwed-up, they'll screw it up. From painting to installing to replacing woodwork. Good luck if you hire them.

After the Lowe's installer got drunk at our house and the second one forgot waterproofing our back door was a mess. CD came in and redid the entire frame and door. They were understanding of our previous problems and extremely wonderful. Plus after ten months we finally have a back door that works. I would definitely use them again.

Deck or Porch - Repair
Yes, I recommend this pro
I had some water damage to my siding where the deck attached to the house. After evaluating the situation I decided to have the siding replaced and have the old deck removed and replaced with a more functional design. Lee, the owner, did a great job and worked to accommodate little changes in the design as the project progressed. He and his people did a great job.

We were VERY pleased with all aspects of his work. He explained exactly what would be done and did it in a very courteous, prompt, and professional manner. He even pointed out some minor problems in other parts of the house and fixed them for us, without charge. His bill was most fair and reasonable. We recommend Craftsman Direct most highly.

Lee was timely, responsive and dedicated to doing quality work at a very reasonable price for our painting project. He also helped us with a number of other small tasks to prepare our house for sale. We had a very good experience with Lee and would recommend him highly.

I have not been a fan of hiring people this was because of a couple of bad experiences on other sites. This project was to repair some falling and sagging sheet rock in my garage. It was very hot and dirty and my wife and I failed at trying to do this repair. She made me go online just to see if we could find some one to handle a job this small. I ran across this site, and what the heck, gave it a try. Lee Smoak called us back I think the same night. He made an appointment to come out, he was on time, neat clean and very polite. Bill was under est. I would recommend both him and the site. Thanks Lee for a job well done.

We were so pleased with what Mr. Smoak of Craftsman Direct did that we added a second job to the project. He was quick, very capable, and enjoyed solving the problems that we presented. Also he billed us under his original contracted estimate !! We will soon have him back for yet another upcoming project, and we've recommended Craftsman Direct to our neighbors. Many thanks to ServiceMagic for helping us find such a good fellow!

Yes, I recommend this pro

Lee was very prompt, pleasant and accommodating. He was always on time and gave us great advice about our paint and appropriate primers to use. He actually came in under his estimate (partly because he used a better primer). Professional in every aspect as well as personable and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to friends and will use him again. Thanks Servicemagic for helping me find a professional I can trust and count on!!!

Lee Smoak did excellent work for us. He was courteous, prompt and competent. He worked around our schedule; showed up when he said he would; did a great job cleaning and sealing our deck; and left the work area neat and clean. His final bill for labor and materials was actually less than his estimate. We are totally satisfied with his work and would hire him in the future without hesitation.

Craftsman Direct was prompt both with the initial visit to estimate the work and then to do the work. They were flexible and were able to accommodate my schedule. They were knowledgeable about the needed repairs to my windows. The repair work done was high quality and quite reasonably priced. I would certainly recommend Craftsman Direct to others and use them again myself if need be.
