Introducing Chris Craddock of Innovative Improvements, New Smyrna Beach’s go-to source for superior custom carpentry…
New Smyrna Beach offers a dichotomy of eclectic beachside homes, contemporary condos and houses brimming with enchanting, historic charm. Its builder should be a skilled craftsman, fully equipped and experienced to tackle all that and more, and talented enough to adeptly honor the past or embrace the future. That is exactly what customer builder and owner of Innovative Improvements Chis Craddock is.
Enamored with the idea of creating and building from a young age, Chris began his custom carpentry journey in his teens and, ever since, has been driven with an unsurpassed dedication to the personalization and luxury which only custom craftsmanship can provide. That 30-year commitment to the craft of custom carpentry has led to his acquisition of an incredible amount of knowledge and skill in custom-tailored renovations and innovations in new home building.
Originally hailing from the Baltimore/Washington DC area, Chris has been a resident of New Smyrna Beach for over ten years. His unwavering commitment to excellence, meticulous attention to detail and collaboration with a highly skilled professional team has earned him an unrivaled reputation here in New Smyrna Beach and beyond.
Each carpentry project Chris completes is artfully designed with quality and workmanship. Working closely with a team comprised of skilled architects, designers and craftsmen to elevate living spaces to new heights, Chris brings peerless projects – which are reflective of each client’s unique style, taste and personality – to life with precision execution and flawless beauty.
At Innovative Improvements, the main objectives are to inspire and delight each and every client by prioritizing quality materials, melding cutting-edge technologies with timeless craftsmanship, and incorporating sustainable practices. The end result, as those clients can attest, is unparalleled, stunning appeal and the assurance of customer satisfaction.
Aside from crafting first-rate masterpieces for discerning homeowners, Chris is passionate about giving back to those who are less fortunate and dreams of one day opening a school where he can share his carpentry skills with young adults.
In his free time, one might find Chris surfing or simply enjoying time on New Smyrna’s pristine beach.
There for Clients Every Step of the Way
We would be remiss if we failed to introduce Innovative Improvements Planning and Client Relations Coordinator Kelly Claeys. Kelly expertly guides each client through their custom construction process and keeps them informed each step of the way – from the initial custom construction consultation, to the documentation of their prospective scope of work, to working one-on-one to provide material and design suggestions, straight through to project completion and beyond.
Born in the Midwest, Kelly fell in love with this area so much that she became a resident in 2015. An accomplished artist having served as the Featured Artist for the 2016 New Smyrna Beach Seaside Fiesta, Kelly also shares her artistic eye and flair with Innovative Improvement clients to ensure spectacular end results.
Kelly has exceptional communications and organizational skills, which consistently serve Innovative Improvement clients well, and her working knowledge of the industry facilitates the transformation of Innovative Improvement custom carpentry projects into exquisite, functional living spaces which serve the test of time.
She loves bringing her creativity and zest for design and décor to Innovative’s repertoire.
