About Us
With Craft Homes & Renovations our mission is beyond home remodeling Cincinnati and creating a space for our client that is not only functional and having beautiful design qualities, it’s making the entire experience, from the initial visit to the final walk through a pleasurable one. And we’ve all heard our friends and neighbors stories about when they got their kitchen done, although they love it getting to that point was such a nightmare. We think that it doesn’t have to be that way. Our goal is to lead you through the remodeling process away that lessens the stress and anxiety levels while still giving the client that wow factor space in the end. There is no reason to have a stressed induced nightmare just to get the kitchen, bathroom or additional space of your dreams.
Jeff Kachelmeyer, owner, and Mike Lowery, lead foreman, have been doing home remodeling Cincinnati and working as a team for over 15 years. In the early years they maintained a large commercial complex together while gradually taking on remodeling jobs. After impressing friends and family, the word of mouth started. They quickly developed a loyal client base while expanding their scope of work. It did not take long for either of them to decide to make home remodeling their full time job. A business, now known as Craft Homes & Renovations , was born. Their home remodeling Cincinnati business portfolio has grown to now include whole home remodels, additions, custom new builds for both client and market, commercial renovations and much, much more. Both Jeff and Mike are known for being easy to work with and love of a good challenge.
Craft Homes & Renovations evolved from the same thought many great business’s start from, “There’s got to be a better way”. Whether it was the materials or the techniques used to implement them. Craft Homes is alway researching and creating the best and most efficient way to construct a clients living space. At the same time we are always trying to make the process easier on the clients as well. We know home remodeling Cincinnati creates the stress involved in disturbing a family’s lifestyle for several weeks while a remodeling runs its course. Craft Homes & Renovations makes a point to have clear and concise communication with clients throughout the process. That way the clients know what to expect day in and day out and never has to be blindsided with the unexpected. The client knows what and when as soon as Craft Homes & Renovations does.
The philosophy of open communication and full transparency is something Jeff recognized as important from his early days as a framing laborer. While working with different crews he could see the difference of when the lead foreman communicated the process of building with the client versus treating the client as a bother. When a lead foreman felt it was a nuisance to explain the home remodeling Cincinnati process to a client that same lead foreman seem to have to have excuses why things weren’t paid for properly, materials weren’t delivered on time while those lead foreman who do communicate with their team members and clients the whole construction process seems to have a better flow. That is why craft homes and renovations strive to keep the client well informed and involved in the home remodeling Cincinnati decision making in the construction process.
We have a vast assortment of loyal clientele whose home remodeling Cincinnati tastes range from mid century modern to craftsman, Victorian, Cape Cod contemporary farmhouse French country, Mediterranean, ranch, tutor,. We handle them all and that’s where creativity comes into play. A lot of times those styles get mixed in intertwined to create a home that is specific to a client’s taste.
