When we decided to totally gut and remodel our kitchen, we were terrified. We had no idea what direction we wanted the project to go or even how we envisioned the end results. After interviewing a few contractors, we met Bob. He had done my neighbors kitchen remodel, and she couldn't say enough good things about him.

Bob is a tremendous asset in any home remodeling project.... His team is creative, professional and very thoughtfull.

I hired Bob and his company, Kitchen Intuitions, originally to replace just my kitchen cabinets and granite Countertop. As I encountered obstacles with the other aspects of the renovation, Bob helped me rectify those potential problems.

We hired Bob to serve in the capacity of General Contractor for the job of revamping our Master Bathroom. We met him at a Home Show in New Jersey and I immediately liked his style and way of communicating with us.

We met Bob at a home show last November when we were looking to remodel our kitchen. We decided to see what type of design Bob would come up with and he really surprised us- he was soooo creative & found a completely different way to set up our kitchen that was fantastic!

Converting a Basement


In the times of recession, it isn’t always practical, or financially viable to buy luxury items such as leather couches let alone to move into a larger home. But there may be a way to get the most out of your property, without having to do major building works or spend large amounts of money. If you have a basement in your house you may be able to make use of this area to add both value and space to your home with a minimum of outlay.


Firstly you need to decide what type of space you want, if you wish to use it as a bedroom, you may need to undertake further minor building works to ensure the space is waterproof, that the drywall is not damp and that it will be comfortable. As this is an underground area with no lighting, you may wish to use it as an area for sleeping, or ensure that the lighting in the room will be sufficient for your requirements.  For those with teenage children, privacy and leisure time for them may be beneficial for the whole family. Providing them with a room away from the family space that they can bring their friends to and entertain themselves is ideal. You could provide a pool table, a television and a refrigerator. Locating a music system in a basement area could keep noise pollution from being a problem, particularly with neighbours. Soundproofing is easy to install, and if you or your family are musically inclined then a music room in the basement could provide and entertaining family space in which you can play to your heart’s content.

For those with younger children, this space could be used as a playroom to keep toys contained to one area and reclaim the home as an area for the whole family.  Children love the idea of having their own space and provided there is sufficient lighting they could let their imaginations run free.

A home office is another option for a basement space. It is suitably removed from the home to provide minimum disturbance and noise, but again you must ensure that the lighting is sufficient for your working environment.

A basement may not seem the most obvious choice for extending your home, but it is one worth considering. In times of austerity we need to maximise the use of the whole of our homes, and the more living space for us and our families, the better.

Variiances Additions and Remodeling
KraftMaster Renovations can build additions in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Room additions can be plain and simple or exceptionally extravagant. Here at KraftMaster we understand that working around people and finished surfaces requires extra care. Dust and utility (electric -pluming) interruptions must be kept to a minimum. There are many things you have to consider with room additions that never are an issue when you build a new home from scratch. We can help make sure that there are no unexpected surprises along the way.
Do you want the roof line, overhang, gutter board, soffits etc. to match perfectly on the outside? It takes some work for this to happen. For these elements to match, you need to take apart the exterior of upper wall treatments to see where the actual finished wall ends and the bottom of the rafters begin. KraftMaster Renovations can complete the construction of an overhang with precise craftsmanship. 

Design Build: We do it all from beginning to the end

At KraftMaster Renovations, we prefer Design Build solutions for home additions, kitchens and bathrooms. That means that we provide upfront design and ideas for the complete project. Then we can provide architectural plans and permits to meet the local county codes and do the job from start to finish 100%. We provide the customer with local show rooms that they can visit to see first hand the cabinets, flooring and such items that they will have to choose to complete their project.

We can complete every phase of the project from beginning to finish: layout, excavation, pouring the footings, laying the block foundations, pouring the concrete slabs, installing the sub floors, erecting the walls, roofs, installing the windows and doors, siding, gutters and downspouts, to interior insulation, hanging and finishing the drywall, installing the trim, painting, installing the floor finishes, carpet, hardwood, sheet goods and ceramic or marble tiles. We will also take care of any electrical, plumbing and mechanical aspects necessary to complete the job.
