About us
Craftsman Connection’s owner has been remodeling since 1998, and was a former building inspector. Please call us at 817-600-5700. I also make YouTube videos. You can check out our some pictures of our work on Instagram and videos on YouTube on the Craftsmanconnection channel. I started my business in 1998 was due to the lack of good communication with the typical contractor I believe in creating a great plan, covering all the details we could possibly think of and detailing all that in line item pricing. Kitchens and bathrooms is my passion. Integrity and Honesty being our number one priority we always do what we say what we will do and put it all in writing too. It's safe to say we always show up to our appointments and the everyday work. Consistent, reliable, meticulous both in service and quality craftsmanship. Veteran owned & operated. If you are looking for the cheapest, aka low quality, contractor, I’m sure we are not it. We focus on high quality workmanship.

Bathroom Remodel
We engaged Carl of Craftsman Connection for an extensive renovation of our Southlake home, including new bathrooms, a Jack-and-Jill conversion, and a reconfigured laundry room. He exceeded our expectations at every turn. His craftsmanship is exceptional, and his attention to detail is evident in every tile line and finish. Carl is consummately professional, courteous, and calm, and he kept us informed with regular, clear updates. As a busy young family, our needs were anything but simple; Carl understood that and adjusted his schedule around us without complaint. He maintained a safe, tidy jobsite, brought deep expertise to every decision, and took the time to explain the reasoning behind his recommendations, so we learned a great deal along the way. Remarkably, he held to his estimate. We recommend Carl without reservation and would gladly hire him again.
Response from Craftsman Connection LLC
"It?s definitely been a pleasure working for this family, and remodeling 4 of their 5 bathrooms, laundry room by adding a second stacked washer and dryer, ceiling drywall repair 20 feet up, and a few other tasks. Between the design features of the bathrooms and having clients who treat you like family make a project fun. I?ll miss the interactions with all the kids, until we start up again on some more projects planned for 2027. I wish all my clients were like this couple."

Bathroom Remodel
I knew Carl was the right contractor from our first meeting. He was the first to provide a detailed written estimate, but what impressed me most was his knowledge, patience, and willingness to listen. Unlike many contractors, he took the time to understand exactly what I wanted before offering solutions.
Our project was a complete bathroom remodel from ceiling to floor. Carl was meticulous about waterproofing, an area where cutting corners can lead to expensive problems years later. I wasn't the easiest client. I wanted a modern bathroom that tastefully incorporated accessibility features like grab bars and a built-in seat. Carl helped us select the right tile, colors, and granite, even walking every showroom aisle with me. His timeline was accurate, and when hidden issues surfaced, he explained the options and resolved them professionally.

Carl brought my vision of a new fireplace to life! He meticulously planned the buildout of a mantle and raised hearth. The finish is a microcement, which he had not worked with before but did all the research on the product so the finish product would look good. Thanks Carl!
Response from Craftsman Connection LLC
"Thanks for the review, and it was my pleasure working with you again on another project. It?s always fun to work with new materials, like the Meoded microcement, and create something new and interesting. I made a YouTube video about your fireplace project and uploaded it to my YouTube channel CraftsmanConnection, and forwarded the video to the manufacturer of the microcement. Enjoy your new fireplace surround."

Carl at Craftsman Connection LLC is the man to hire if you want the job done right the first time. I contacted him to do a bathroom remodel with a somewhat restrictive and tight time frame. He was able to accommodate all of my needs with no issues or delays. He is a true professional, a perfectionist and very trustworthy. Has been in the construction business for many years since he was young with his dad and is a building inspector so he knows what problems to look for and how they need to be fixed correctly. He does not typically work on multiple projects at the same time and will be there on time every day until your project is completed. I would encourage prospective clients to go online also and watch his very helpful and informative videos that he’s posted on YouTube. Also, don’t judge solely on price. As the saying goes…you get what you pay for. You’re going to come out ahead of the game by getting it done right the first time and avoiding hiring him after your previous contractor did crappy or slipshod work. He does quality craftsmanship and his work ethic is impeccable. I would easily hire him again for future work. Thanks again for a great project Carl!

"Well, thank you Sir. I’m happy we had ample time to plan ahead, and then ready for you right on time when you came back from your long vacation. Enjoy your new shower with that pretty awesome shower bench. I wish I had one myself on occasion. Quite fond of the big 24” x 48” tiles for the shower walls, which makes it quite seamless, and easier to keep clean. I’m happy you went with that frameless shower glass, as it always adds some more elegance to the shower. I filmed the shower tile install, so hopefully I make time soon to edit that video and upload it to my YouTube channel. It’ll probably be on a playlist called DB Master Shower. It was a pleasure working with you, of course. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again!"

I recently undertook my first remodeling project, a shower remodel, with Carl. Overall, the experience was positive, thanks to the quality of work and his expertise, though there were some delays and unexpected costs. The standout aspect of Carl’s service was his excellent attention to detail. The finished shower looks fantastic, and you can clearly see the pride he takes in his craft. He is clearly very knowledgeable, which made us feel confident in his abilities. However, the project did take longer than originally anticipated. While some delays were understandable and of no fault of his. Other mishaps during the remodeling prolonged the timeline. One significant issue was a water leak that had us thinking our wood floors would be damaged, which added to my concerns but it was resolved quickly with no damage. Regarding cost, the final bill was higher than I expected. While the quality of the work was excellent, it felt quite costly compared to my initial budget. I'm assuming it aligns with comparable remodels, but it's something to keep in mind if you’re working within a strict budget. I appreciated Carl’s professional advice and willingness to offer suggestions on various aspects of the remodel and around our older home. His helpfulness was appreciated and was kind enough to even assist neighbors with various things. His insights were valuable and helped enhance the overall project. In summary, I am happy with the end result of my shower remodel, thanks to the exceptional work and expertise of Carl. While there were improvements needed in terms of timeliness and clarity in pricing, the quality of the finished product and the professional guidance provided made the experience worthwhile.

I am beyond thrilled with how my vanity install turned out. I knew he was great from seeing the other projects he has done but talk about both personable and professional. From the major pieces of work to the little details, he goes above and beyond for his clients and I will be using Craftsman Connection for any other projects I need!
Response from Craftsman Connection LLC
"Thank you, and it was a pleasure working with you too. The vanity looks amazing, and I’m happy everything went smoothly. I enjoy seeing the transformation and happy with the extra counter top and storage space. You picked a nice looking vanity."

My shower demo and remodel turned out great! Carl previously did our home theater project several years ago. We brought Carl in to re-do our shower after our previous contractor made many mistakes leading to leaks. Carl is very thorough, does high quality work, and has great attention to detail. He took the time during demo to identify the source of leak to ensure the remodel was a success. He provided a detailed estimate which made clear the scope of work. Carl kept us updated throughout the process. I would highly recommend Carl and Craftsman Connection!
Response from Craftsman Connection LLC
"Thank you for the review on your recent walk-in shower remodel, and related repairs. It was a pleasure working for you and your family again. I look forward to remodeling your master bathroom when you’re ready to discuss that project. Details: This 36” deep x 60” wide (wall tile area) x 8 feet tall walk-in shower estimate was around $11,249, plus the cost of the shower tile, and grout, which was around $1,000, and already had 3/8” shower glass, and the track hardware had to be replaced, and everything re-installed. The shower drain was moved from the left side to center of shower floor, plywood subfloor repaired, 12” x 24” shampoo niche framed, new shower valve installed, and all the shower waterproofing done and tested before any tile work was performed. 6”x 18” shower tile. The shower remodel project took 2 weeks (10/2/24 - 10/17/24)"

Carl did a great job on our primary bathroom remodel! I commend him for his professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and work ethic. I would definitely use him again for any future house renovations!
Response from Craftsman Connection LLC
"Working for this family was a pleasant and fun experience remodeling their bathroom. The existing master bathroom had a terrible tub in an area that used to be a walkin shower and a built-in tub. The previous homeowner had installed a freestanding tub with a rain showerhead, and it was functionally a terrible layout. so essentially, we brought the house back to the original layout, but swapped it from left to right, so that meant moving the drain pipes of water lines, so the homeowner could have a larger, walk-in shower, and frameless shower glass on the right and a freestanding tub on the left with floor to ceiling tile wall. The bathroom got a new vanity, and new porcelain tile floor. I had to convert the existing single sink vanity to a two vanity, patch some drywall. Thanks for the review, and I’ll see you soon for the upstairs vanity project."

Perfectly, Carl is fantastic and is extremely communicative about everything up front. He's a perfectionist and his results reflect his skills and dedication to his craft. I would hire him again in a second!

"Sir, Thank you for the review for your powder bath drywall texture and paint project. For the people reading this, I made a YouTube short on this project.

We are very pleased with our bathroom remodel. Carl was easy to work with and communicated well. He was very knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Would definitely hire again for our next project!

"Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure working on this Jack & Jill Bathroom remodel for your family, and carving some time out to teach your 2 boys how to install a couple shower tiles. I made a short video of your tub shower project and uploaded it to my Instagram page Craftsmanconnection. I’ll create a drawing for your upcoming laundry room project, and we can move forward from there in the next few months."

Very satisfied with the job. Very detail oriented, ensured that any issues identified during the remodel were brought to my attention and were corrected, quality of the installation was impressive. Grout lines were straight, angles accurate, etc.

The project went very well overall, we had some difficulties pop up that added to the timeline but they were handled professionally and quickly. The work done was excellent and was affordable priced, it was a pleasure to get work done with them.

"Thank you for the review sir. Yes, nobody could have imagined the door lock manufacturer including a bracket or screws that didn’t work with the lock set, or a wall 5/8” out of alignment with the other wall 30” away, but we rolled with what we’ve been dealt, and I appreciate your patience, and good attitude. Looking forward to your master bathroom or shower remodel sometime in the future. Let’s develop a plan, so you know what that will cost, and when you’re ready, we can move forward."

First of all, I must apologize to Carl, for the lateness of this review. The job was actually completed back in August 2021. I was introduced to Carl, by another friend. I have a custom water feature in my dining area/kitchen. Essentially a bubble wall. Carl was very punctual, and professional to work with on this project. I know I won't have to be concerned about maintaining my water feature now. Carl, was meticulous in his drawing out the plans, and the best and SAFEST way to accomplish our goal. The project overall took about 3 weeks. I was on an extended time off, so time wasn't too much of a factor for me. We communicated regularly, when I had concerns, Carl would respond in a fairly quick manner. To finish the project on time, Carl came on a Saturday, worked from about 11:00 to 6:00pm that evening. I was most impressed with his due diligence, and quality of work. When it was all said and done, I had a new platform and support for my bubble wall feature. This has made it so easy and SAFE to do maintenance on my water feature. I used to dread having to work on my water feature, as it was a royal PIA to get to when servicing. Very pleased with my results. I still have some final touches to do on the water project, but that is not under Carl's purvey. One day I got a pleasant surprise as well. I had been working to figure out what mural I want to cover the wall section. One day I received a text from Carl. He had meticulously drawn out the dimensions to give to the mural folks, to custom design my mural. This was a few months after the project was completed! I don't have the mural done yet. With my flight schedule, difficult to fit it in right now. I was very happy with my project completion. I would certainly use Carl and Company for any further work needed. Thank You Carl.

It went great! I was a little nervous calling contractors, as this was my first time getting into a project like this. Carl spent more than an hour or more asking me questions, taking notes, and dimensions. A few days later he sent me a floor plan, cabinet drawings, and some other pictures of his previous work to show me what he was talking about. The estimate was 10 pages long with lots of details. Having a plan helped put my mind at ease. I could start to see my vision come to life. Craftsman Connection scheduled my job a couple months out so I wouldn’t have delays with the counter top company. Carl started on the day we planned a couple months ago, and everything went according to schedule. What I liked the most is there was not any surprises, he cares a lot about the quality he delivers, and was at my house everyday until the project was completed.

Carl did a fantastic job!! I can't say enough good things about him. My feather tile was imported from Italy and apparently most people around here weren't familiar with the proper way to set it, let alone grout it. Carl was the third person to attempt to lay out the tile in a pleasing pattern. He did the math and drew out a sketch the night before and brought it to help everyone see how his way was right. After careful planning and attention to detail the tile wall came out perfectly. I highly recommend Carl for any project you might have!

Was preparing to sell house and Carl helped with replacing the guest bathtub, plumbing, and bath walls. Went great... everything looked great and the house overall had multiple projects done by Carl through the years. Received more than asking price for the house so we were happy.

Carl is amazing. Each project from dry wall work to rebuilding cabinets as well as addressing unexpected repairs were expertly completed. His attention to detail and his ability to listen and then quickly complete a project that met our expectations was comforting and the final product was impressive. We are planning additional projects with Carl.

"Thank you for the review and It was a pleasure working with you both, as always. You can see the white /Grey marble master bathroom and kitchen remodel on my Instagram page CraftsmanConnection. The bathroom was about 200 square feet in Southlake, where I installed a freestanding tub, moved the plumbing, hexagon marble floors, 4’x5’ walk-in shower with 1’x 2’ Marble tile on the walls, new shower plumbing, etc. The kitchen has existing stain grade cabinets, new quartz counter tops, new appliances, and a massive island. Crema Marfil marble floors."

"Thank you for the review. This was my 3rd or 4th project with this customer, and it’s always a pleasure to do work for him. We’ve remodeled his kitchen, house tile floors, and fireplace, and this project was replacing almost all of his house siding, trim work, soffit, fascia, fireplace chimney siding, and 1 exterior door. Then we painted the entire exterior of the house. This project cost a little over $25,000."

Carl did a superb job remodeling our kitchen. From the outset he ensured that we were fully informed and comfortable with the scope of work and knew what to expect. Carl provided a detailed estimate that outlined the work to be done with associated costs along with a payment schedule along with timelines that ensured there were no surprises. The quality of work was excellent. He replaced cabinet doors and drawers, painted the entire kitchen/ breakfast area, repaired damage under sink, and installed and finished a new door between the kitchen and utility room. Throughout the process Carl kept us up to date with text messages and pictures of the work as it progressed. Carl is the consummate professional. I highly recommend him for any remodeling you may have.
