I hired ValueCrafters after previous bad experience to rebuild my kitchen and flooring after water damage. Best Decision I made. From day one we aligned on what my vision was and ValueCrafters exceeded my expectations by a mile. I am extremely happy with the projects success and excited to share my new place…
Our old deck and patio cover were badly deteriorating, so we reached out to ValueCrafters for an in-home consultation. After discussing our vision, choosing them was an easy call. The installation and assembly crews were fantastic, delivering truly exceptional craftsmanship. The finished project exceeded all our expectations—especially the new covered patio section with recessed lighting and a ceiling fan, which turns the deck into an incredible year-round living space.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Jeff! We’re glad you’re happy with the craftsmanship and the new covered patio space. It’s great to hear the finished project exceeded your expectations and created a space you can enjoy year-round!

Karen B1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Karen has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Doron, owner of Value Crafters, was very professional and a pleasure to work with. He exceeded our expectations and gave us a backyard that is very functional and that we really love. From the initial consultation to completion, we knew what to expect and Value Crafters always followed through with what they said they were going to do.
Our objective was to create an outdoor living space in our backyard, but we were unsure what to do with the rest of the yard. Doron had great vision, made suggestions after asking lots of questions, then had his team put together a 3D rendering to scale, of the redesigned backyard. It was incredible to see the vision on paper. Once we were happy with the design it became the roadmap throughout the job.
Doron communicated with us daily and came by to check the job progress most days. He was our single point of contact throughout the project. He coordinated everything including City permits and inspections. There were workers in our yard every day of the project (weekdays), the exception being when we were awaiting City permits or inspection approvals.
Doron consistently did quality checks and marked things that needed rework. He never made us feel like we were being unreasonable if there was something that we didn’t think was quite right. He made it very clear that the job wouldn’t be complete until they met all our requirements and expectations.
Value Crafters is not the least expensive contractor you will find, however you get great value for the price. They do premium work in a timely manner, have dedicated crew, and they exceed expectations. Last week we did our final inspection walkthrough with Doron and gave him the final payment. He reminded us that if anything goes wrong with the job they will come fix it. The very next day we had some large trees removed from our backyard hill (yes, we should have had them removed prior to work completion), and there was some damage done to several parts of the newly installed keystone wall. Doron said he would have his guys come back and fix the damage at no additional charge to us. He wants the work done right and for us to be completely satisfied. That’s outstanding customer service and value.

We recently completed a full home and backyard remodel with ValueCrafters Remodeling, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
Taking on a project this size can be stressful, but Doron and his team made the entire process feel organized and manageable. Communication was excellent throughout the project. We always knew what was happening, what was coming next, and if any decisions were needed from us.
The quality of the work really stands out. From the interior renovation to the backyard transformation, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The crew was respectful, kept the job site clean, and showed up consistently.
What impressed us most was that they genuinely cared about the final result, not just finishing the job. Doron was involved, available when needed, and always focused on finding solutions rather than creating problems.
Our home and outdoor space look completely different now, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a contractor who communicates well, delivers quality work, and follows through on their promises, I highly recommend ValueCrafters Remodeling.

Kay T.3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Kay has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I came across Value Crafters via Thumbtack’s quote generator. They were responsive from the start. I was originally only looking to get my house painted, but through the course of our consultation I mentioned redoing my front yard.
Doron was honest and practical about the ideas I gave. He incorporated my idea and executed it beyond my expectations.
Through the demolition to completion he had quick communication. If there is something you don’t like he will make the changes and not pressure you into his ideas. I ended up getting a full front yard remodel, upgraded garage door, exterior paint with some wood removal and stucco application.
The cost of my project was on the higher side, but you get his design skills, patience, understanding, project alterations, and openness. My interactions with him mirrored the energy of a good friend.. Very easy to talk to.
When you choose Value Crafters know they work fast! Which is a good thing just have your project cost already set aside to meet the payment schedule.
I would work with them again.

The project manager, Doron was very communicative and kept me updated on a daily basis.
Every step of the job was done efficiently and with good quality. This greatly eased my concerns as a remote owner.
They kept the work area clean and even professionally cleaned after the project was done.
They have exceeded my expectations. I have worked with many contractors, but this company definitely stood out from the others.

Value Crafters Remodeling remodeled our bathrooms, installed new flooring throughout the rest of our house, painted the interior, installed new lights and ceiling fans, framed and installed a new interior door, reframed and replaced an existing interior door, and rebuilt and finished our staircase. Doron’s crews were all highly skilled. We had some unique requirements around the tile design in the bathrooms, the paint colors and paint design in the living room and bedrooms, and the stairs. They accommodated and executed all of our ‘crazy’ ideas to perfection. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience working with ValueCrafters Remodeling. From the very beginning, the entire process felt professional, organized, and transparent. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and we always knew what was happening and what the next step would be.
The crew was respectful, clean, and extremely detail-oriented. You can tell they truly care about the quality of their work and not just about finishing the job quickly. Even when unexpected issues came up, they handled everything calmly and professionally without excuses or stress.
What stood out the most was the level of trust and reliability. It’s hard to find contractors these days who actually do what they promise, and this company absolutely delivered. The final result exceeded our expectations, and the workmanship speaks for itself.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and high-quality remodeling company. We will definitely be using them again for future projects.

Leslie Anda2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Leslie has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Before meeting Doron, I talked to a few other contractors and honestly felt completely lost. Every company had a different story, the prices were all over the place, and I didn’t really understand what was the right choice for my home. It made me nervous to start such a big project.From the first conversation with Doron, everything felt different. He took the time to explain exactly what the exterior coating process would look like, answered all my questions patiently, and never tried to pressure me into anything. That gave me a lot of confidence to move forward.Once we started, the whole experience was smooth and professional. The communication was great, the crew showed up on time every day, and they treated my property with care. The quality of the work is outstanding – the house looks brand new.I also love knowing the coating has a lifetime warranty – no hassle, no worries for life – and that the house is now much more energy‑efficient. You can actually feel the difference inside.I’m really happy I trusted Doron and his team. If you’re confused or unsure about starting your exterior project, talk to Doron first – you’ll understand exactly why I’m writing this review.
