Our Story
Too many general contractors take too many shortcuts.
Too few try their best to get it right.
We really are the good guys.
We are A Better Craft.

"I own a 102 year old home. It's a big place, and there is a lot to maintain.
While I paint, fix things and give the house a lot of the love it needs, the fact is there are just times when something is out of my league, or I just don't have time to take care of it myself. And now that I've found James and A Better Craft, I'm okay with that. I've got him on my side, so I feel like things are totally under control.
Unlike so many other contractors that we have experienced, James listens and really cares about how the job gets done, for projects big and small. We have used him for more than a dozen different painting and handyman-type projects, as well as a larger porch reconstruction project.
While there were a few small bumps along the way (the fact is there always are) James was super cool about making sure the job got done well, and that I was totally satisfied. We will continue to call on James and A Better Craft, and we'd definitely recommend him to neighbors, friends and you."
