Happy Homeowners

Scott Koester with True Craft built our retirement home for us four years ago. We were very pleased with his attention to detail. His suggestions to make our home better was very much appreciated. He was aware of our budget and kept us on track. He worked well with our bank and made things go smoothly when it came to going from a construction loan to a mortgage. The quality craftsmanship that Scott and his team put into our house makes us smile and proud to say who our builder was. Scott is a conscientious worker and we would highly recommend him and his whole team that he has put together.
Rodger & Kathy
We have used Scott for many projects and are truly amazed. He is dependable, very innovative, and a self starter. Scott does extremely high quality work and we will use him for any future jobs.

My Mom loved the work Scott did in her bathroom!

I highly recommend Scott Koester of True Craft Remodelers. Had I met him at the beginning of the water damage repair that was needed on my bathroom, it would have saved me months of headaches. Scott is a true professional. He showed up when he said he would, on time for our consultation. He brought sample materials and catalogs for me to review, and understood what I was trying to accomplish with the repair. He also pointed out an aspect of the work that I wanted done, that I hadn’t considered, giving me the information I needed to not make a bad decision.
After our first meeting he sent me a guide called Remodeling 101 that was so informative. Again, if I’d had information like that in the beginning, I would have avoided some serious problems. He prepared a proposal in a timely manner that covered the options I was looking for and discussed them with me to find the best solution. If you are looking for an honest, reliable, professional with high quality standards and craftsmanship, you can count on Scott and True Craft Remodelers!

True Craft did an exceptional job on my kitchen remodel. Scott, the owner, had great suggestions for the remodel; for example he found a nice looking and budget friendly solution for incorporating a free standing fireplace I had purchased into the kitchen to make it look built in. He also went above and beyond by installing a temporary sink for me in the kitchen to make the remodeling project as easy and stress free as it could be during construction. True Craft always showed up when they said they’d be there, cleaned up after every visit, and always kept me informed on progress and potential issues so the project went very smoothly. My kitchen looks great and I could not be more pleased with the entire experience.
Deanne J.
True Craft remodeled my bathroom and I love it! They were always courteous, on time, and left no cleanup. The job finished earlier than I thought it would and the estimate was spot on. I would definitely recommend True Craft for any remodeling needs.
MAHOMET, ILLINOIS
I am 100% happy with the work Scott and True Craft Remodelers did for us. If you are lucky enough to be talking with Scott Koester, hire him immediately! Scott is smart, hardworking, reliable and does a meticulous job. I would gladly recommend him to my friends and family.

We have 13 rental properties. True Craft Remodelers does all of the work. They're great!
Robert M.
I can’t tell you how great of a job Scott Koester and True Craft Remodelers has done for my family and myself over the last six months. Whatever job we have asked Scott to do, he’s done it and at a high quality of work.
For my Mom and Stepdad, he completely gutted their bathroom. He installed heating elements in the floor as they are getting older, so the floor is nice and warm as they walk across it, along with the installation of a medical tub that has all of the bells and whistles on it. He also put in a shower that’s out of this world!
For my brother and I, he has put a new front porch on both of our houses. The impressive part is that both of them are completely different in design. My brother’s deck is made of wood with 6” cedar posts. There are no screw holes showing anywhere on the deck itself! Scott was able to put the nail holes on the side of the boards, so they are completely unnoticeable. On my deck, we used all PVC decking as I am getting older and do not have the time or the ability to work on it every year. This deck will outlast me! All of my neighbors and friends have commented on the quality of work and how beautiful it looks.
On top of this, we have a number of rental houses that need repair and Scott is helping on those.
If you want quality craftsmanship at a fair price, I truly endorse True Craft Remodelers. They are great!
