Founder, Established since 2014
Daniel Mercer
Daniel Mercer grew up in Medford, Oregon and completed a four-year carpentry apprenticeship through the Oregon Carpenters Training Center in Milwaukie. He spent eight years as a lead finish carpenter for a general contractor in Portland's Pearl District before founding Craftwork Renovations in 2014. His background is in fine finish work, which is why Craftwork's trim and cabinetry details tend to draw comments. Outside the job site, Daniel restores mid-century furniture and is a reliable presence at the Sellwood Antique Mall on weekend mornings. He reads every project estimate himself before it goes to a client.
Call us at ((503) 741-8820 or fill out the contact form on this site. We will schedule a free on-site visit, usually within three to five business days. After the visit, you will receive a written estimate within 48 hours. We do not charge for estimates on projects over $1,000.
Do you pull permits, or is that my responsibility?
Craftwork Renovations pulls all required permits on your behalf. We handle the application, pay the filing fees (which are itemized in your estimate), and schedule all required inspections. You do not need to contact the Bureau of Development Services or any other city office.
How long will my project take?
It depends heavily on scope. A bathroom tile refresh might take five to seven business days. A full kitchen remodel typically runs three to five weeks. A basement finishing project can take six to ten weeks. We give you a specific timeline in the written estimate and update you if anything changes.
Do you use subcontractors?
For most work, our own crew handles everything. For electrical and plumbing rough-in, we work with two licensed subcontractors we have used consistently since 2017. You will meet them before they start work, and their license numbers are included in your project documentation.
