The entire team at TLC was amazing and great. Clear communication and transparency, their supervisors are on point and very responsive and they gave us great timelines and finished the total addition in a little over 30 days. We loved their professionalism and everything that went well in our build and renovation. I would recommend!!! read more

Home Renovations can be a scary, unknown process, but with LoftCrafters, that was not the case. We initially reached out to see if it was even possible to add a loft to our home. We were pleasantly surprised when we were informed it was possible but also at the total cost of the work and the timeline to complete. While we were unable to start right away due hoops to jump through with our HOA and the city, eventually the project kicked off. Our home was a construction zone for about two weeks, but really only the first week was what you would consider a home renovation experience to feel like (related to noise and dust). Once the framing was in- the finishing was off and super easy to live and work through. The folks working at the LoftCrafters are experienced and communicative and made the experience very easy overall. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to add space, storage or a room to their property! read more

We would highly recommend TLC to anyone of our friends and family. They were professional, friendly, accommodating and did an amazing job on our home addition. We love our loft and honestly wished we did it years ago. All the different crews and phases went smooth and the quality of work is top notch. We are grateful for how smoothly things went and how fast they completed the job. They also kept things pretty clean each night and the communication was great. read more

We had great experiences with TLC. They finished the job on time! They also did a perfect job! Ben and his team were available every time we needed them or had questions. We highly recommend The LoftCrafter! read more

Taking on a major home renovation can be stressful, but choosing Loftcrafters was the best decision we could have possibly made. We are very selective clients and interviewed no less than eight companies. Loftcrafters distinguished themselves early on. The initial call with Asiyah was professional, and the personal site visit from co-owner Ben gave us immediate confidence in their expertise. One of the most significant selling points was their in-house capability to handle design and permitting. This is where we got to work with Kirstie, who was absolutely awesome. Her competence and attention to detail ensured our permits were submitted swiftly and, most importantly, accurately. This efficiency eliminated the typical delays and headaches, getting our project off to a fast, smooth start. After signing, we were assigned Juan as our dedicated project manager, and he was phenomenal!! His communication was proactive and clear, and his flexibility was a cornerstone of the project's success. He graciously accommodated every change we requested (at different times and we sometimes go back and forth on some decisions). One of the best project managers I have ever worked with. Loftcrafters achieved something rare in the construction world: a project that was fast, high-quality, and reasonably priced. For a seamless experience with a professional, communicative, and highly skilled team, we give Loftcrafters our highest recommendation. read more

If you're considering adding a loft to your home or any other type of addition you should absolutely consider the loft crafters. From the initial meeting to, demo, framing, finish work and the final walk through the team they sent to our home was exceptional. As invasive as the process is they try their best to make it the most comfortable experience possible. You're updated daily on what will happen each day and the following day. The workers that come to your home are all employed by TLC, no sub contractors. All the employees were exceptionally polite, clean and tidy. Choose TLC with confidence, this company is amazing, hands down. With them you absolutely get what you pay for. read more

We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Loft Crafters for our loft conversion. We already knew we were in good hands, as they had done fantastic work for both my brother and our neighbor, but our firsthand experience was even better than we could have hoped. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. The team was incredibly professional, respectful of our home, and left the workspace clean every day. Most importantly, they were timely and stuck to the schedule. A special mention must go to our foreman, Pedro, who was an outstanding problem-solver. He listened to our vision and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. Our project coordinator, Sebastian, was also a dream to work with--he was extremely helpful, kind, and incredibly patient with all of our questions and requests. If you're considering a loft conversion, look no further. We have zero complaints and would recommend Loft Crafters to anyone without hesitation. read more

From the first meeting with Doug to the final product, things could not have turned out better. We knew that we were finally in the place to add a loft (we had asked for a couple quotes from LC over the last few years and they were fast to respond every time). Very informative first meeting where we felt we knew everything about the process from the get go. Communication from our site lead to the office staff was spot on. We always knew what and when things were going to happen. The crew cleaned up so well every day that our dog and children were able to run around the house every night with no issue. Every question was answered diligently and patiently and we could not recommend Loft Crafters more-if you are looking to add an addition this is the company you will want to work with for sure! read more

This is a long overdue review, but better late than never. We have gone through multiple upgrades and remodels. LoftCrafters is the most professional builder/contractor I have ever worked with. The way the project was managed with clear timelines, day to day progress, and completion - everything was delivered flawlessly. For whatever issues we ran into, Raul was our PM and he was responsive, detailed, and very accommodating. Ben is the gentleman we met with initially. He came out with his structural engineer to ensure everything is done right and scoped out correctly. I'd recommend LC with 100% confidence. read more

We had a great experience with Doug, Sebastian and the rest of the team at TLC. they were fast, efficient, and took all the stress and guesswork out of a huge home project. They met their projected timelines, took care of all the city and HOA paperwork, and passed all inspections. The crew always cleaned up at the end of the day so even though we were living in the middle of a construction zone, it was manageable. We also received a nightly progress update. They were even able to accommodate extra projects around the house and still met their projected timelines. If we could use TLC for all home renovation projects we would. read more

I reached out to The LoftCrafters in December 2023 to see if an idea I had was feasible. Ben came out and took some initial measurements and let us know there should be no problem realizing our goals. After many iterations of the design (which Ben did each time impressively quick) we settled on the final design and layout. Ben even suggested some features/design elements we hadn't thought of. Better yet, the final quote was even less than Ben had verbally shared with us, so even better! Construction commenced as quickly as we had access to the property and the speed and which they work is impressive. The house was impeccably masked up and protected from dust and construction debris. In the midst of construction I had this lightbulb moment about a design feature I thought would really fit the space. The team responsible for our project, Sebastian and JuanCarlos, immediately jumped in and were able to get it adjusted on the fly. That same team was able to make a gametime change as well when one of the elements didn't quite match the space. We had a minor hiccup with the placement of a wall but as excepted TLC had it remediated by the next day and continued moving on. We had smooth inspections with no issues noted by the city. Today wraps the project completely as TLC came back after a couple months to install the baseboards and again that was done promptly and professionally with an excellent eye for detail. I recommend everyone who is looking for this type of work done to reach out to TLC and not be disappointed. read more

Very professional and fast, able to work with our schedule needs, job was very well designed and done.

From start to finish, TLC was professional, understanding, and fast. Met both of the owners through the estimation process and they were both very knowledgeable, experienced, and courteous. They gave their thoughts on what may be the best layout for the loft, as well as considering our thoughts on how we wanted it to look. Once we signed the contract, we worked with Sebastian who was amazing. He always made sure to answer our questions and concerns, while always making sure we were happy with what was done thus far. It definitely wasn't easy living in the home at the same time the work was happening, but all of the employees were accommodating when we needed to move from floor to floor during their work. Anytime some prep was getting loose due to us opening and closing doors, or from my dog/toddler ripping holes, they always fixed or replaced it right away to make sure things were protected. Also the work itself was done so quickly and efficiently. I think they were done after 2.5 weeks. We did hit a snag with a 3rd party vendor having some issues, but TLC and Sebastian definitely made it right for the delay. I've never worked with a contractor that definitely commits to making sure to the customer is happy, always making sure we are satisfied with the work done, fixing any issues that may have arisen from the construction. 100% would hire them again for any Loft needs, and 100% would recommend them to anyone. My neighbors have asked about their work and they all were definitely amazed at the speed and quality of their work. read more

TLC is such a great company! They are really efficient with their time and work. Everyone that came into our home to work was very nice and they kept all our other areas safe and clean from the construction. The communication from TLC is top notch! We got updates daily and had a direct number to text if there were questions or concerns which was really nice. Ben and Sebastian were amazing and really explained in detail everything that was going to be done and when. We are so happy with our new space and are looking forward to doing another project with them in the future! read more

**AMAZING** First off there are "contractors", then there are "good contractors" and then there is "TLC" who change the game. I received a TLC flyer in the mail randomly in 2016 after just moving in. Thought the idea was cool of a potential loft and showed it to the wife. I had no intentions of scheduling an appointment and didn't want to waste Doug's time; however I was curious about a budgetary number. Doug came out (one of the owners) and we tossed around some ideas and numbers. At that time, we did not move forward, but was able to budget for the future. Two years later Doug came back to iron out some ideas again and then the pandemic occurred which put everything on hold. Fast-forward to 2023, and I'm surprised Doug is still picking up our calls' haha. We decided on a final design, signed the contract and Doug and Ben made a few holes in our drywall. We had to make some big changes because there were shear walls in our house. It's common for things to not go as planned in major construction projects. We successfully constructed a cantilevered loft/office as well as an additional office within an exterior void and reconfigured the stairs (refer to images). We had one major change order to expand my closet and get rid of the 1990s planters. Pricing was super fair, don't try to haggle there is no need. We mentioned to Doug the job needed to be started June 1st and completed before August. They completed in roughly 6 weeks. Our flooring and painting contractors finished their part of the project ahead of schedule thanks to the fast and efficient work done by TLC. Now this is where TLC really shines. 1. They have their own guys. 2. All material is ordered prior to start. This implies that there will be no delays (we had NONE). 3. Their project managers (ours was Sabstian who was amazing) call, text, and send updates every day. 3. If for some reason you see an issue or have a question it's immediately handled or addressed. 4. They took care of our home. We chose to live off-site for the duration of the project since this is major construction, but we had access every day. 5. Their customer service team was great as well. The TLC team is now family. We are so pleased with the final outcome and truly enjoy our new space. Our house is no longer a "cookie cutter" home. If you're looking to do a loft or addition these guys are #1. Make the call and use them. read more

TLC offers a start-to-stop project "service"! Everything was planned and communicated before hand. Like other reviewers, TLC was the most comprehensive, buttoned up and best construction experience we've ever had. Each step of the way from permitting, demo, framing, flooring, railing and painting was scheduled/coordinated. We never felt pressured to sign off on work, and any time we "noticed" something, it was handled with a "no problem, we'll take care of it". We opted to "live in" while the construction was happening, and were pleasantly surprised how well their dust enclosures worked! Now that the project is finished, we cannot believe how much more we love our home. TLC helped transform our home, built in the mid 80s, into a vision that was more modern and better designed. Most importantly, every part of this construction feels 'quality'. The loft design feels natural to the house and not something that was just "added on". Photos will never do the fantastic job justice, however we recommend TLC to all of our friends thinking of adding on more living space to their current homes. read more

The only complaint we have with The Loft Crafters is that they only do lofts...we would hire them again in a heartbeat if they provided any other home renovation services! We were impressed as we watched 3 different neighbors have a loft installed by the Loft Crafters - the workers were punctual, clean, and respectful of the surrounding neighborhood. TLC ensured everything inside was covered and taped off to ensure no drywall or saw dust coated the other rooms, and that there was no damage to flooring or walls. They did clean up at the end of every day, to include mopping the floors. The contract was clear, and change orders clearly priced. We were provided with a rough timeline up front and a daily update as far as what the activities would be for the following day. Our 2 field supervisors, Juan and Sebas, were great to work with and helped to ensure our expectations were met AND exceeded. Thank you again Ben, it was a pleasure working with you guys! read more

There's a reason that these guys have such amazing reviews! We hired the Loftcrafters to put in a bedroom, bathroom and open space loft area in our home, and I cannot tell you how amazing the experience was. From start to finish, their attention to detail is better than any contractor you'll ever find. They absolutely do everything they can to make sure you are happy and well informed of what's going on along the way, including daily updates and direct access to your project manager anytime. We couldn't have been any happier with the experience that we had with Loftcrafters and would 100% recommend them to anyone who's looking to do a similar type project in their home. The value that the loft space has added to our home was worth every penny. The only thing I would have changed is that they would offer some of the additional items as part of their package or as an add on service. Tile, flooring and paint, are not included in the cost of the loft and you're responsible for finding your own contractors for them. They will offer some options for you to get estimates from for paint/tile/etc. if you ask, and we went with their recommendations (which were all wonderful!). read more

It would be difficult to overstate how much we appreciate the professionalism, honesty, and quality of work of The LoftCrafters! We've been looking to fill in above the two-story open space above our Dining Room and create a bedroom in our current open loft on the 2nd floor. We talked to 3 different contractors. All of them told us that it couldn't be done. One contractor (after multiple conversations) said that he could do it, but his estimate came in at twice the amount we had budgeted. We then contacted The LoftCrafters. Ben came out multiple times to thoroughly discuss the project with us, and quickly provided a quote that was right in line with our budget! As the work began, the teams came through with military precision. We had no dumpster in front of the house, trash was removed every day, the job site was cleaned every day, and we received a daily recap from The LoftCrafters recapping the work completed that day and previewing the work to be done the next day. Our Job was led by Raul, who was an absolute professional. Courteous, knowledgeable, and always solutions-oriented. All of The LoftCrafters workers that came through were polite, curious, and worked so hard. Special recognition goes to Pedro who is an absolute craftsman! Whenever we discussed the design of an arch or a doorway, Pedro would sweat the details, nail up an outline of the work for us to review, and work with us until we agreed on the design. Only then did the work proceed (to our delight). We had high hopes for our project, but the project came out even better than our high expectations!! If you are considering a project/remodel, we would highly recommend calling The LoftCrafters! We've already referred them to neighbors and family members and cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you TLC!! read more

LoftCrafters is one of the most professional companies we have worked with. Everything went very well from start to finish. The owners and employees are all top notch, trustworthy and caring. Our project duration was around 8 weeks. They handled all aspects of the work including HOA approvals, city permit and inspections. Every day they would come in sharp at 8 AM, and when finished would clean up the work area very thoroughly. Their project managers and coordinators kept us updated on the progress every day. We are very happy with their work and highly recommend them. read more

I have a project that I have had a difficult time finding a vendor/engineer to take on-- as it's an exposed storage unit/loft in my three car garage. While I knew it may not be a perfect fit for The LoftCrafters, I reached out to them this week and prayed they may be a solution to our project! The LoftCrafters team immediately responded to me upon initial outreach and quickly put me in touch w the owner, given my request was a bit out of the ordinary. Doug, the owner, took the time to speak to my husband and me about our project (after business hours). Unfortunately, it was not in The LoftCrafters' scope of work, but Doug still took the time to continue to speak to us about the project and walk us through potential options/suggestions to consider. If/when we do need a loft, we will absolutely utilize The LoftCrafters after the extremely positive experience w Doug today. read more

The Loft Crafters did an amazing job with the expansion of the loft in my condo. I started initial inquiries with them in October of 2023 about a possible project, and Ben answered all of my questions very promptly, up until and including the start of my project in April of this year. Sebastian was the project manager, and he did a great of coordinating and keeping my informed along the way. He answered all of my project and general construction-related questions, which was really great for me. The construction work is exemplary; I've had many other contractors and professions stop in for other services in my condo (its basically a full remodel), and they have all marveled at the precision of TLC's work, from floor creation all the way to drywall texturing. Their crews are very skillful and professional. TLC handles every detail of the project, from initial plans all the way to final inspections, you won't need to have any involvement at all if you so choose. Another thing I'll mention is that they made it pretty easy for me to still dwell in my condo while work was ongoing, which was important to me. They take great care in protecting areas from typical construction dust and debris. My project was completed ahead of schedule, another great thing for me as it allowed me to accelerate my entire renovation. I believe by day 3 I had a new floor I could stand on in my new loft area, which I found pretty amazing. If you have a loft and are considering an expansion, I highly recommending calling! read more

We are SO IMPRESSED with the level of professionalism, responsiveness and care The LoftCrafters team showed us throughout this process. After contracting with The LoftCrafters and through every step of the way, we were never left hanging with a question. Anytime we had a question, we were able to reach someone on the team to have it answered. The LoftCrafters team helped us with obtaining our HOA approvals, our city inspections, and ensuring our home was as clean as possible, even though they underwent construction. While we originally worked with Ben, we are grateful to have met Juan, our project manager. Juan was incredibly helpful, attentive to details and caring. Would definitely recommend The LoftCrafters to family & friends, and will definitely look to hiring them again in the near future, as they have expanded their business. Thanks TLC team! read more

Best experience we've had with any remodel company! Ben and his team are true professionals. We live in Aliso Viejo and added a fifth bedroom to our home. Ben was very easy to work with- honest and straightforward and helped us with the design process. His crew came out and was on time every day. And finished ahead of schedule. Juan (project manager) runs a tight ship. Thank you loft crafters. I'd be happy to be a reference for anybody that wants to talk to a previous client. read more

From the moment we met Ben, we knew we were dealing with a top notch company. These guys are the best. They have loftbuilding down to a science. What an absolute pleasure to work with a company that prides itself on being super professional, courteous, responsive. They turned our empty space above our dining room into our favorite spot in the house now-- a cozy library/reading room. You might find a slightly lower quote somewhere else, but there will inevitably be delays, snafus, and added costs with other guys that are less experienced. Trust me, don't bother going with anyone else- LoftCrafters is the gold standard in what a construction company can be. Super highly recommended. read more

The Loftcrafters are a very legit company. They have a detailed plan with timeline, and they finish the work as they promised. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I had many contractors before, and I always worry about what they might mess up. The Loftcrafters were great. Their project mangers are assigned to each project, so people can reach out to them with questions or concerns. They cover the house extensively to prevent dust and debris from getting into the living area. They bring purple tape to prevent drywall from being damaged after the tape is removed. Their staff and crew are friendly and helpful. They only like to work that is related with loft additions even though they are capable of doing other work. After I met Dough and Ben, I wish they could help me remodel my entire house, but they politely rejected it. This makes them an expert in their field. Even Irvine city inspectors know the company and complimented them in front of me. Also, they have great after-sales service. I found a minor cosmetic problem in my garage, not related to my loft addition work. The owner came to assess the issue and addressed it right away. During my recent meeting with Ben, he mentioned they are currently remodeling the entire house when the owner plans to sell the house after adding the loft. I am so happy to use them for my cozy house. I started with 2 bedroom house, but now I have 3 bedroom with a nice den. Thank you so much, Loftcrafters! read more

I can't express my gratitude towards this company for completing our loft/bedroom additions. This has been the most wonderful company to work with starting from our consultation with Ben, the construction workers themselves, and our project manager Sebastian! Everyone is so professional and on point I appreciate everyone apart of our remodel process. They were punctual, clean, trustworthy, the list goes on. I wish this company offered other remodel services they are just THAT good! Altogether we couldn't be happier and highly recommend this company to anyone looking to add a loft addition, they are true pros. We also turned a bedroom into a large walk in closet and it came out perfect. They started on 09/24 and finished on 10/19. When they give you a timeframe they are true to their word which we truly appreciate. Thank you everyone :) read more

After getting a few estimates, we decided to go with The Loftcrafters to build our loft. We needed an office space since baby #2 was on the way. We initially met with Doug, who was very professional and informative. He came by a few times with Ben (the foreman for our project) to make sure they had all the measurements and info they needed. We even made a change by adding a bit more space to our loft and they were very accommodating. They took care of all the permits and engineering plans, pretty much everything except for the painting and flooring. Ben and his team were very communicative and professional and they were very good with protecting everything in the house from dust - lots of plastic walls with zippers and coverings for the floors. They gave an update at the end of each day, which was nice. We're very happy with our new loft and couldn't recommend them enough! read more

We were looking to turn our loft into a room and contacted LoftCrafters.

We had TLC build what amounts to a whole new floor above our high-ceilinged dining room/living room. It adds 342 sq ft to our home, greatly increasing the property's value. More than that, however, the TLC team completed the build in less time than they had promised and with the least amount of difficulty for us. They were always here at 8:00 on the days they said they would, and they worked until 6:00 p.m. most days. At the end of each workday, they cleaned the entire affected area and another worker came by to collect and carry away all the trash that had accumulated during the day. Each evening we got a recap and an advisory as to what to expect the next day. Could not ask for more from a contractor, and whatever we did ask for, they complied gracefully and efficiently. read more

Professional from start to finish! Adding a loft requires permitting and architectural plans and most companies require you to get both before they even will quote you, which can cost $3000. They specialize in lofts and have their own people, so they can give you a quote before this occurs. They were also the cheapest as other companies that do permitted work want bigger projects like extending your house. All the pros are listed below: Detailed quote specifically stating what is and is not included and the cost of common add ons. Before finalizing, they met back up and went over everything in detail. Complete protection of flooring and walls and good dust control. They seal doors to rooms and have zippers so you can enter. They did general cleaning to limit dust build up during construction and at the end did a quick wipe down of all the areas. Allowed me to go straight into the detailed cleaning to get things back in order. Install of new loft was professionally done. It is inspected by city so less of a concern. I had them move hvac and create new circuit from subpanel and they did everything possible to minimize cuts required into drywall. This including crawing through 30ft of insulation in a tight space. They provided daily updates on progress of job and what is happening next. No suprises when the final bill came. They estimated 3 weeks and were done in 2 weeks! I would note this type of work can be fustrating to some. The loft was basically created in 1 week. The second week was 1-2 guys doing 1 task like texture, stair railing, or just waiting around for the multiple city inspections, which can slow thigns down depending on your city. Just how this work goes... read more

I had gotten 8 bids elsewhere for the same job and a few were as high as $90k, but most were around 55k, while loft crafters came in at under $30k to add a fully enclosed 120sq ft extra bedroom/home office to home (2nd story infill). read more

I recently had a small loft installed in my house to have an office and I couldn't recommend The Loft Crafters more. They were professional from start to finish, clean and thorough with their work. Every night I received an email letting me know what was completed that day and what they were working on the next day. Raul was already available if I had questions and anytime I sent an email to the office with questions they were very prompt at getting back to me. When you spend this kind of money it is nice to have an exceptional experience. They also installed a loft in my sisters house who referred me to them. If I ever need another loft installed I will 100% be using the Loft Crafters and would highly recommend them to family and friends! Thanks Loft Crafters, I love my new office!!! read more

We can't say anything except great experience with LoftCrafters. They are very professional, nice (really nice owners) and honest. They added a loft for our high ceiling house about 8 years ago. They have their own team doing the work with a team leader supervising on a daily basis. Very easy communications. They recently did an assessment for a room addition to our new home. Unfortunately it didn't work out due to our family situation changed. They spent so much time taking measurements, drawing the floor plans and went to the city of Irvine for permit assessment several times. Even after putting so much of their time we felt no pressure at all. If we need in the future any room additions without doubts we will call LoftCrafters. read more
