“We hired Craig and the English Contractor Team to complete a major renovation and addition on our home in Hyde Park. The entire Team was polite and very professional. The work was completed ahead of schedule (originally a 7-8 month project) and the quality was first class. After working with the English Contractor, I won’t have anyone else work on my house in the future. ”
