Northern Craft Construcion did and amazing job on our project from beginning to end. We sat with Bruce and explained to him everything that we wanted. He designed our project and explained in detail every aspect. Safety was always a priority. Any issues that arose during construction were resolved quickly and Bruce was always easy to contact. All permits were obtained by Northern Craft. Our garage and laundry room were completed, and all of our expectations were met. Many thanks to Northern Craft Construction for a job well done.

Bruce from Northern craft is a true professional! I hired his company to turn my sunporch to a three seasons room with windows. It took a little longer than expected to supply shortage, but once started they worked every day until the job was finished. They worked very efficiently and always left the space very clean. My room looks so beautiful and is very functional as well. i would highly recommend this company for any home improvements you may need.

Ever have one of those years? This year, my youngest started pre-K, my oldest got braces, and a month ago I went into my basement to find two feet of water! Fortunately for me, my business partner had a relationship with a general contractor, Bruce Northcraft of [company]. Even though I heard that Bruce would take care of me, I had no idea what laid ahead with bringing my basement back to normal. I called Bruce and within a few days he came out and spent three hours at my house showing me what needed to be fixed and more important, how to take advantage of a tragedy and turned around and do something amazing. Once the water was pumped out and after inspection, it turns out that my French drain system under my home was crushed. We had to take everything out of our basement – and I mean, everything! Bruce and his crew came in and dug huge troughs around my basement to replace the French drain. Fortunately that ordeal didn’t last long but he put up plastic the dust and concrete out of upstairs. They even more special booties to keep from track tracking dirt upstairs indoor living area. We then sent down with the 3-D program and he showed me the possibility. My basement looks better than it did before the horrible tragedy of water damage. From Wayne’s walls to finishing to new flooring and painting, Bruce’s work was exceptional. Not to mention, I didn’t have to work with the insurance company as Bruce worked directly with them on my behalf. Talk about making my life easier in the face of so much potential hassle. I can’t wait to entertain family this year is Christmas in my new basement! Thank you Bruce – exceptional work. I will refer you to everyone!

Northern Craft Construction is the kind of company that all others should try to be. Customer service is exceptional. Speaking with Bruce before a project makes you comfortable with the work that will be done. The end result supports that feeling. If you do not contact Northern Craft Construction you're missing out!

We had our wall removed between our kitchen and dining room in our split foyer home. Its looks amazing! Bruce and his crew were clean, friendly, and professional. The ceiling was leveled, and the hardwood floors match great. Great price, also. Bruce was even able to match our crown molding.

Northern Craft construction Partially finished our basement, adding a bathroom and an office space. It was completed in a fair timeframe considering the state of the county's permitting office and available materials during the covid lockdown. Any complaints were also handled in a timely manner. It was good doing business with Bruce.

Keeping this short and to the point. My tenant had a moving company help them move out. During that move the company caused all sorts of damage to my stairwell (both walls, stair carpet, door frame, and ceiling), the carpet at the base of the steps, and the flooring at the top of the step (in the kitchen). I reached out to Bruce Northerncraft at Northern Craft Construction due to the recommendation of a couple friends. It took only a few moments to setup a time to meet. Bruce arrived 5 minutes before the time we scheduled (Perfect!). He was able to identify exactly what I was looking for with the repairs and get all of the information needed in less than 30 minutes. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient during the entire process. I received a full estimate/write-up the very next morning as promised. He and his crew were flexible and willing to work with my schedule to get access to the home as well as complete the job, not just on time, but 2 days earlier than expected. During the repairs, I stopped by the house to take care of a few other things that I needed to and found that the work space and surrounding areas were properly protected (ram boards on the floor) and that the space was kept very clean. If I didn’t see the changes/progress being made on the job, I would have been unsure if any work was actually being performed due to how neat and clean they kept everything (cleaning up at the end of every work day and actively containing any mess that would be generated from the work). I did not have to ask for updates on the progress of the job as they kept me in the loop. I also didn’t have to re-explain any of my requirements for the job. When the job was complete, it looked AMAZING! They exceeded my expectations! They also didn’t have any cost overruns as the exact price I was quoted for was exactly what I paid. All around, they did an amazing job and really raised the bar for what I expect out of home improvement companies.

I had Bruce at [company] remodel my home from top to bottom in 1999. New kitchen, moved the laundry room, new roofs, siding, windows, all new exterior doors, match the existing hardwood floors, and an enclosed porch. We couldn’t have been happier with the results. It has now been close to 16 years and all the craftsmanship has held up well.

  "I love my new basement door. David did a very nice job. It looks better than I imagined! I especially like the way he finished it on the interior too... and he left everything nice and neat. The new door, the workmanship, installation - it was well worth the cost."  - Jenny

Great professional job. We had a number of projects to do around the house we recently bought and I was referred to [company]. They did not disappoint. We added a bathroom, replaced all of the windows, replaced some rotted patio doors and floor and the work was professionally done in a reasonable period of time. What I liked the most is the communication. There was communication from the project manager, Lane Belcher, pretty much every day – letting us know what they were planning to do that day, or that they could not make it because of the weather. We always knew what was going on. Anyway, a highly recommended contractor. They know what they are doing and they will do a professional job for you.

    Our clients loved their outdoor living space but wanted to be able to utilize the space throughout the year. We sealed the room in from top to bottom. We also added soffets to the bottom of the deck to give it a more finished look.

    No shade in the back yard the deck gets awfully hot. We need some coverage. I don't want to give all the sun up and I would love a waterproof roof. The operable pergola works great and solved the owner's problem. give yourself a waterproof roof or open it up and let in a little or a lot of the sun.

    3 Seasons Sunroom Addition

    Frank and robin loved hanging out on their back porch during the summer months but were unable to utilize the space any other time of year. Before starting work on their New 3 Seasons room, we had to remove the existing porch roof and structural posts. Our clients decided to go with a TEMO sunroom structure. There are many benefits to choosing a TEMO sunroom, a couple of them being they can be built in a fraction of the time and at a much more reasonable cost. The glass used is TEMO’s tempered HPG 2000 glass which is four times stronger than annealed glass. They are going to be using the space to display Franks train collection and Robin is looking forward to having a space for her plants. To make the space suitable for warmer and colder months we added separate heating and air conditioning units. We wanted to warm the space up by adding warm colored floors and lighting fixtures around the room.

    Our clients needed more storage space and room for their cars and his beloved lawn tractor. She was tired of having to go down in the basement to do laundry and wanted folding space. His biggest request was that he have garage doors on the front and back of the garage saw that when he is cutting the grass it is simple to just pull thru the garage and go from front to backyard.

    Closed in Walkway/ Solarium

    The goal of this job was to close in the existing walkway and create a TEMO solarium between the main house and the guest house. The home is a historic home that sits on the highest point in Jessup Maryland. Since this is a historic home, we had to get approval from the Historical Society before we were able to begin working on the job. The first thing we started working on was putting the walls up along the existing walkway at the front of the home, the second project was to start building the TEMO solarium off the back side of the house. The homeowner started this project a few years ago so there was an existing block foundation that we were able to build on.

    This amazing family really wanted a fresher look and more cabinet space in their kitchen. We closed off a couple of walls allowing them to have a full U-shaped kitchen. One of my favorite things about this job (aside from the dragon scale tile) is the mosaic rose behind the stove symbolizing the homeowner's mother.

    FLOATING SHELVES IN GARAGE FOR EXTRA STORAGE IN SEVERN MD 21144

    Justin needs more storage in his garage. We could not find any more space until we looked up. We hung shelves from the ceiling. Justin's wife did not want to look at ugly framing material as the finished product. We finished the bottoms or the ceiling with a white beadboard material, like a porch ceiling would have. The edges we added small crown molding to it for a good looking finish. Justin's wife is now happy. A happy wife is a happy life. The area of storage that we added was two floating platforms that are 4 foot by 8 foot. The wall-hung shelves was 2 foot deep by 24 foot long. WE TRULY ADDED MORE STORAGE SPACE.

    In 2017 there was a bad windstorm that caused the steeple to be blown off of Come As You Are Bible Fellowship Church. Before reinstalling the steeple, we refinished the fiberglass around the sphere where a crack had been made. We also rebuilt the internal structure for the steeple to rest on. Once we got the steeple back in place it was time to secure it. We bolted the steeple into the base and adhered the two together with fiberglass.

    The shower pan in our client's master bathroom shower was flaking. Even after having it resealed, the shower pan just kept peeling. So, our client decided to just redo the shower completely and take the new tile all the way up to the ceiling. We also added a little niche in the shower wall to store soaps and stuff.
