I found Craig in neighbor2neighbor. Craig is so very honest, old school, and up front, with a handshake as a contract. His daughter, Justine, worked with him in the summer as a major go-fer, carrying huge beams on the site. She worked as hard as he did! I feel like Craig is my guard dog. When I wasn’t home, he has never left the house unattended. He and my husband hit it off. My husband says, “Craig is a guy you want to have dinner with!” He was at our door at 6:30 every day. He appreciates that our time is just as important as his. He is a comfort to work with, trustworthy and hardworking. I ask a lot of questions and Craig sometimes told us that we could save money by not doing some of the stuff we thought we wanted to do. He also advised us how to do some of the work ourselves, to save money. We are going to use him again soon. We have to replace all of the French doors in the house, thousands of dollars worth of work. Craig said to just do a couple at a time. He is very accommodating! In the beginning I called five other contractors. Three of them were great but what swayed me was Craig’s attitude! He comes across as, “I am honest. I am good at what I do. I am choosing you, too.” And that worked for me!

When I first called Craig to remodel our kitchen, our chemistry just clicked! He is extremely punctual and he and his crew completely clean up at the end of each day of work. He is always very responsive to my calls and never hesitates to get back to me. In addition to the new kitchen, Craig has put in new windows, updated our bathrooms and put in a walk-in closet. His co-worker, Daniel, even came out personally to replace a light bulb in the cupola on the top of my house. All the subs that work for and with Craig are so nice! At first, his bid seemed high, but after the work was finished, we came out way ahead of the ballgame!

I have used CC Construction for years! I’m a retired plumbing contractor and have worked construction all my life. I worked on high-end custom homes along the Manhattan Beach strand. Craig could easily work on the strand with the other craftsman. He’s that good! He’s so responsible, I just hand him the keys and have no worries! I own a couple of commercial industrial buildings and Craig has replaced water-damaged fascia. He also changed out water damaged windows and decks on an apartment building I own, as well as worked with me on house remodels. An all-round good guy to work with! He comes up with excellent, creative ideas I have not seen done before. Things always work out well with CC Construction on the job. His bids are right in the middle. He does not “work out of his truck,” if you know what I mean. His attitude and approach to life, the way he speaks to people, makes him unique. Plain-talking, and straight-forward. An honest guy!

I’ve got the family doctor, the family lawyer and the family contractor: Craig Carlson. I found Craig in your neighbor2neighbor handbook. He remodeled two bathrooms for us. He demolished them down to the studs—a tedious job! They look like completely new bathrooms, which they are! Everything he does looks so beautiful. He has done some smaller jobs for us, too. He replaced some windows with top quality products. Craig works the old-fashioned way—he does it right! He also keeps an eye on his subs to make sure they do the job right, too. I leave the house keys with him when he is here and I never worry. That’s why I’m keeping him on retainer. He is easy to work with, friendly and patient. His workmanship is high quality. My dad was a contractor so I know what “good” looks like. Craig is very professional, honest and frank. He tells the truth, with no baloney! A man of integrity!

For Craig, I would do anything! He came onto a job at our house seventeen years ago. The most amazing thing he did for us was to fix a ten-foot arched window that was leaking. It was a huge issue for us! He built a whole new window casing and framed the window in. It is still in perfect condition. He recently rebuilt the bay window in our 1929 home. C C Construction shows up when they say they will. They were here for almost two weeks and cleaned up everyday they were here. He also has a trustworthy crew. I had no qualms leaving my house when they were there. Craig is easy to communicate with. He doesn’t just do what we say if it might be the wrong thing to do. He recognizes that we are the laymen and he is the professional. He is always accessible. I highly recommend him.

I found Craig in neighbor2neighbor. He did two bathrooms and a kitchen remodel for me. His pricing is honest and fair; his bid was right in the middle. I felt like he was working on his own house. He gave us his opinions up front. His helper, Daniel is outstanding and he brought in top-notch subs. Craig is easy to communicate with and never cuts corners. We were just very comfy with Craig around.

Craig Carlson with C C Construction is excellent! They take pride in what they do. He has done work for us since we bought our house fourteen years ago. We bought it from the original owner and nothing had been done to it. He replaced all the rotting window frames in the house with Milgard windows. We have had no leakage and no one from the city coming to tell us we have the wrong kind of frames. Craig is reputable and reliable; his pricing is fair and he is just good at what he does! He feels like family. This year he replaced a glass door, the entire frame and threshold. His employees are great, too. They clean up every day they are here. He carries a notebook with him and writes things down and then follows through with phone calls. He really cares about me and the work he does for me. He is trustworthy and conscientious; a true man of his word. I think everyone should know about Craig Carlson.

I have been using Craig Carlson of CC Construction since 1991. He’s the greatest. Craig is precision on wheels, a true craftsman. He understands exactly what I want and that’s hard to find these days.

Craig is the hero of our life and the creator of our beautiful home. He is an awesome, fabulous, creative guy – as well as a nice person! He did a major remodel on our house. He was honest, punctual and reliable. He used top quality materials. He used drop cloths and vacuumed at the end of the day so our house was clean and tidy whenever he left.

I was pleased to find a craftsman in Craig. He has sound judgment and is very particular. Everything he built for us will last a long time. He started out building a bay window for us, but we kept hiring him for more work when we saw how good he was. Even the inspector commented on the high quality of his work.

With Craig’s help, I’ve been slowly restoring my 1914 bungalow to its historic authenticity. Craig has custom beveled a lot of wood for the siding, and for the trim for the windows and doors so it fits with the original wood. Craig and his sidekick, Daniel, have a really good work ethic. I know they are doing their best the whole time they are here.

Craig is a man of unquestionable character and honesty. He does really fine work and stands behind it. He can really brainstorm to think of ways to solve a problem.
