Review by a customer in Buffalo Grove, IL
Project: Build Custom Cabinets
We are thrilled with our completed built-in entertainment center! Dom is a true craftsman! He gives good ideas and executes them to the fullest. Whatever I suggested to him when we were designing it, he was able to design. I highly recommend him and his workmen for any project you may have.

Project: Install Interior Trim and Decorative Moldings
Dominic was terrific. He had great ideas for the entire project, and even made good recommendations for additional work, which we agreed to. The work was done quickly and professionally. We love the results, and especially love the manner in which business was conducted. I would recommend him to anyone!

Review by Sarah H. in River Forest, IL
Project: Build Custom Cabinets
I hired Creative Craftsman to make a custom entertainment center for my basement. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dominic was great to work with and his wood working skills are fantastic. If you can imagine it, he can build it. I will definitely hire him again.

Review by Kurt B. in Northbrook, IL
Project: Build Custom Cabinets
Wow, these guys are good! Dominic took the time to fully understand what we were looking for, offered great suggestions, and then went to it. Delivers what we asked for, on time, and the workmanship is first rate. The crew works well together, and they keep the work area clean. We started with some custom cabinets for master bath and mud room. Were so happy with the result we asked them to re-trim our kitchen, add custom shelves in walk-in pantry, and re-trim some doorways. That went so well we had them build a garage in backyard for storage. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Project: Install or Replace Interior Doors
I was delighted with the prompt, professional, and generally amazing service. Two very pleasant young men showed up on time, did their work efficiently, and then cleaned up after themselves. It was truly a pleasure!

Review by Paul K. in Wauconda, IL
Project: Install or Replace Interior Doors
We are very pleased with Creative Craftsmen. Our project involved remodeling our "TV" room, including removing and replacing the walls and ceiling, installing French doors and a Pocket door as well as installing new recessed lighting. They also custom built an entertainment center that spanned from wall to wall and installed a hardwood floor. We were very impressed with the skill level and professionalism of everyone involved and pleased with the coordination of tasks and communications with us throughout the job. The work done is high quality and it is obvious Creative Craftsmen take pride in what they do.
