We are so happy to have worked with Living Craft on a small room renovation. We struggled to attract serious quotes due to the small room size. Ben took the time to understand our needs and gave us by far the most professional, comprehensive and fair quote. He did a lot of hand holding to help us design a built-in desk and bookcase that is the focal point of the space. He also developed a creative option to mitigate an unexpected permitting requirement without completely sacrificing ceiling height (much appreciated as a taller person). We love the final product and our start-to-finish experience working with Living Craft. Already dreaming up future jobs for them.

Living Craft did a fantastic job remodeling our basement bar. The entire process working with Ben and Cheryl was smooth and efficient. I can't express how organized and easy they make it to have a remodel done! I can absolutely say with certainty we will be using their expertise in the future. Thanks for the beautiful bar!

We hired Living Craft to remodel our 1968 house and to build three new outbuildings. The short version is that they are truly wonderful to work with and I would work with them again on any future project. Long version: The remodel was extensive - we gutted the house to the studs, added a mud room and built a new patio, and built a chicken coop with solar and a 4-season greennouse. We put new siding on most of the house, a new roof, and solar panels, and added a few windows. We were very involved in the process from start to finish, and felt like we were well supported by Living Craft to do so, and that our input was thoughtfully received and integrated. We were also really interested in sustainable and green building and materials and Living Craft was 100% behind that effort. Our home was featured on the Colorado Green Builder's Guild Green Home Tour last year (2023) and we received a lot of positive comments from the 150 visitors we had. We love the finished product - including plaster through the whole house and tadelakt in the bathroom - and really enjoy living in our home. We initially worked a lot with Ben, who is no longer with Living Craft, and further into the project Cheryl took over and was our main point of contact from then on out. We also worked with Frank on select items - all the leads/owners, and all the staff were great to work with. I highly recommend them!

Couldn't have been happier with our experience with Frank and the crew at Living Craft from when they did the lime-plaster walls during our remodel of the lobby at the A-Lodge. Of all the contractors and subs we worked with, they were the most responsive, were flexible and accommodating with their schedule, had detailed invoices, and (huge for us) was working clean and organizing all of their materials at the end of a work day. We feel great about what we paid for the work that they did, and are appreciative of the time they took to explain everything that they were doing. Thanks again, guys and gals!

Living Craft is one of the most exceptional and professional contractors we work with - they are conscientious, diligent, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely fun to work with. Importantly, they have a deep understanding of building science and always go the extra mile to make sure their work is executed in the best possible way to minimize energy use and maximize health. Working with such a value-aligned company is such a pleasure.

We have worked with Living Craft Design Build over the last several years, and they are an incredible company consisting of great people! They care about their work and are super friendly and knowledgeable. Happy to give them five stars!

True craftsmen and craftswomen!

Worked in collaboration with my designer to come up with a custom wall around my fireplace. Very kind, clean, professional, and thorough. Highly recommend!

PS - Was very impressed how they pre-poured the fireplace hearth, and delicately installed it all without a hitch.

We worked with Ben Waldman and the team at Living Craft for a remodel project at our home in Denver. The project involved completely replacing our heating system (gas boiler & rads) with a geothermal heat pump and new ductwork, finishing our basement (including all new electrical, plumbing, and basement laundry and bathroom), and a partial remodel of our kitchen and eat-in nook. Starting from the beginning of the project, Ben did a great job of listening to our goals and ideas and developing creative concepts for some layout challenges in our existing space. Ben managed all of the subs well and kept things moving ahead smoothly throughout the project. The Living Craft team worked hard and were respectful of our space and of the challenges of us living in the home throughout the renovation. The quality of the work throughout is excellent. When there were hiccups with subs' schedules or pricing Ben was always open to finding an agreeable solution for both of us.

Living Craft had a constant focus throughout the project on energy efficiency, quality of materials, and doing things 'the right way.' I have worked with contractors in the past where I felt like I had to question their work or ask them to redo things, and this was never the case with Living Craft. I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at Living Craft and would definitely recommend them.
