Cranford's Trusted Handyman Since 2006
Reliable Home Repairs and Handyman Services Throughout Union County
Cranford is a town that takes pride in its homes. The tree-lined streets, the Rahway River running through the center of town, the mix of Victorian-era homes, post-war Capes, and mid-century Ranches - Cranford's housing stock is as diverse as it is charming. And diverse housing stock means diverse repair needs.
Deft Craftsman has been serving Cranford homeowners since 2006. We know the difference between finishing a Victorian-era home with the care it deserves and updating a 1960s Ranch for modern living. One call gets it handled.

What We Handle in Cranford
Drywall and Plaster Repair
Cranford's older homes were built with plaster, not drywall. We skim coat, patch, and finish so the repair blends with the original wall. No visible seams, no shortcuts.
Carpentry and Trim Work
Victorian-era homes have original trim and built-ins that define the character of the house. We custom match crown molding, wainscoting, and baseboards to preserve what makes your home special.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling
Cabinet installation, backsplash tile, countertops, vanities, shower repairs, and full gut renovations. We manage every step from demo to final walkthrough.
Hardwood Floor Repair and Installation
Original hardwood floors run through most of Cranford's older homes and they are worth preserving. We repair, replace, and install hardwood, laminate, and tile throughout your home.
Exterior and Gutters
Cranford's mature tree canopy fills your gutters fast. We handle gutter cleaning and repair, power washing, fence installation, siding repair, and holiday lighting.

Cranford sits along the Rahway River. If your basement or lower level has seen water damage, we handle drywall repair, flooring replacement, and structural fixes to get your home back to normal.
