Craft Bilt Materials Ltd

My wife and I wanted to remove our decks and build a screened outdoor space of for the summer. Our property is heavily treed and has an impressive mosquito population for most of the summer making a deck something you just stare at from inside the house. In designing the new space, we wanted large windows that would open wide to let the breeze flow through and I dreamed of having a clear roof to let the light in. After a few hours of searching online I stumbled onto Craft-Bilt Materials and read about the 4-Track window system as well as the poly carbonate roofing system. These were exactly what we had in mind for this project. I contacted Craft-Bilt and spoke to a sales representative and it was clear that they were very supportive of the DIY community, not just a manufacturer catering to contractors. I obtained an estimate for the windows and roof which were reasonable for the product being offered. These systems are not for someone hoping to slap a structure together on a tight budget. The materials are quality and will last for a long time. The poly carbonate is a tough multi-layered material which will far outlast the single layer, corrugated panels from box stores - again, it is about budget and what you are trying to achieve.

I worked through the spring on the site, the foundation and cut and raised the timber frame myself. When the time came, I again contacted Craft-Bilt and was put in touch with Ella who answered every single silly question I asked promptly. I submitted the order for the windows and then the roof.

The roofing system arrived, like a giant, terrifying mechano set but it was intuitive to assemble once the pieces were laid out. There was one small hiccup with the gasketing material that was shipped, but Craft-Bilt realized an error had been made and shipped the proper material overnight without argument. It took about two days to assemble the roof, working mostly alone unless a neighbor happened to get too close.

The windows arrived a few weeks later on the truck. We unloaded them into the garage. I held my breath as I unpacked them hoping I didn't blow the mission on the sizing. Once the first window was unpacked I carried it around back and it slipped right into the opening. I used the self-drilling, colour matched screws to fasten the window into the opening in about 5 minutes. I installed all 8 windows in about 90 minutes as a first timer. The cost of these windows is a value when you consider the time required to build screen frames and bugger around with installation or closing the structure in for the winter. The slide open very easily leaving 75% of the opening clear for a air to pass through. The vinyl material is ultra tough, a 2x4 I had on end, slipped out of my hand an bounced of the material.

My experience with Craft-Bilt was refreshing, not many companies have their act together these days like Craft-Bilt does. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact them. There is a price to pay for quality, but I would not hesitate to do it again.

Needed a small railing installed at front entrance to assist elderly residents up/down 2 steps. Craft Bilt offered a railing that was aesthetically pleasing and within our budget. Installation was done within 2 weeks of order. Did a great job, very happy.

I'm very pleased with the product and service I received from Craft-Bilt. I have a second-storey balcony off the front of my house that had wooden rails and pickets originally installed by the builder when our house was built 15 years ago that were completely rotting and falling apart. I brought in my rough measurements and pictures to Craft-Bilt and they helped me select all the finishes (I wanted white aluminum rails and posts with glass instead of pickets). The process was quick and easy and they provided me with computer drawings (with measurements) so my contractor could confirm all the measurements before I placed my order. Customer service was fantastic and friendly. Everything was ready when they told me it would be. My contractor had no complaints about the installation process at all. Now that everything is installed, it looks fantastic! Great experience overall!

Hello
My older pontoon boat floor is worn out so I decided to purchase an aluminum deck instead of marine plywood for our Christmas gift. I googled and came across Craft Bilt site and I reviewed the product and all my correspondence was a very good experience. They sent me small samples of the product so I can feel the quality. The non skid surface is nice .The product was well packaged and I will be doing the installation next summer.

I was very disappointed with the the long turnaround time, customer service and inadequate packing of shipment which resulted in damage. I will not order from again. I paid on Sept 18th for two awnings and when all was said and done with my replacement pieces sent by mail, I was able to finally put the awning up Dec. 12th.

We are very impressed with the quality and service of the aluminum railings. Even with a mis-measure they replaced part of the top railing and it looks amazing! Installation is certainly a learning experience but carefully follow instructions and it comes together very well.
The lighting is excellent and adds to the overall project with very little power and the photo cell timer works great.

Needed windows for a screen room at my cottage. The CaftBilt film windows opened up to 75% and fit the bill exactly. Needed 8 windows; CraftBilt suggested 6 instead saving me a couple of K. Order placed, delivery promised and met; windows were installed by me in about 60 minutes (no finishing but installed and secured). If these film windows are what you are looking for, look no further.

Craft Bilt were great to deal with and very professional. Great job and would use them again or recommend them to friends. The railings look good and complinent the house.

We would highly recommend this company for their high quality product, professionalism, focus on customer satisfaction and timeliness in completing the job. Our porch/step railings was a small project but we will have no hesitation hiring them again.

Special thanks to Darryl who patiently answered all questions, addressed all concerns and offered solutions to problems and showed some flexibility when required. 7As well, Michael and Stéphane who also gave their input when required yet respected client’s personal choice/s.

Needed a hard top canopy over my back door due too 4’ of snow always landing in front of The door. Made several calls to other places some wouldn’t come out to give me an estimate, some said project was too small for them( too small meaning the job wouldn’t net their company $10,000.00 plus.
Craft Built was the best to hire they were fast courteous and flawless. Totally professional.
Would definitely recommend Craft Built and would hire again in the future.
