About Crafted by Cohen, LLC

Premium Residential Remodeling & Construction

Our Story

Built on Passion, Engineering Precision, and Real Estate Expertise

At Crafted by Cohen, we believe that your home is more than just a place to live; it is your greatest investment and the backdrop to your family’s story. Founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife team Yaron and Arielle Cohen, our premier residential construction company was born out of a shared passion for exceptional craftsmanship, structural integrity, and maximizing home value.


Our journey began thousands of miles away. In the winter of 2009, Yaron left Arizona and Arielle left Chicago, both bound for Israel. A chance meeting on the vibrant streets of Tel Aviv changed everything. We locked eyes, connected instantly, and began building a life together.


Years later, we set out to gut-rehab our own home and build a custom second-story addition. Navigating the local construction industry, we quickly experienced the common frustrations homeowners face: unreliability, overpricing, and lack of transparency. We knew families deserved better. Combining Yaron’s elite engineering background with Arielle’s sharp real estate insights, we knew we possessed the unique skillset required to deliver excellence.


Today, Crafted by Cohen, LLC is proud to be a trusted name in residential remodeling, helping homeowners add lasting equity and beauty to their properties.

Let’s build something incredible together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does working with an engineer and real estate broker benefit my home remodel?

    Working with Crafted by Cohen gives you a unique "Power Couple Advantage" that conventional general contractors can't match. Co-founder Yaron holds a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, meaning every structural wall removal, basement waterproofing layout, and outdoor roof tie-in is mathematically calculated for absolute safety and structural integrity. Co-founder Arielle brings over 15 years of experience as a residential real estate broker, helping you select layouts, materials, and finishes that align with modern buyer trends to maximize your Return on Investment (ROI) and build genuine home equity.

  • What measures do you take to keep construction sites safe for families and kids?

    We know that living through a kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel can be incredibly stressful for busy families. Because we have three beautiful children of our own, we prioritize a Kid-Safe Job Site Guarantee. Our crew meticulously organizes the workspace at the end of every single workday. We implement strict dust-containment systems to protect your indoor air quality, securely lock away power tools, clear out debris, and run heavy-duty magnets across the yard, driveway, and floors daily to sweep for loose nails and screws.

  • Can you remove load-bearing walls to create an open-concept kitchen?

    Yes. Creating open-concept kitchen and living spaces is one of our premier specialties in interior remodeling. Removing a load-bearing wall requires immense technical precision to ensure your home’s upper floors and roof remain perfectly supported. Thanks to Yaron’s mechanical engineering background, we precisely calculate the structural load requirements and flawlessly install the necessary engineered headers, beams, and support columns. We handle the entire structural modification safely, legally, and up to strict local municipal building codes.

  • What is the difference between a natural wood deck and a composite deck?

    As custom deck builders, we specialize in both premium natural wood (like Western Red Cedar) and low-maintenance composite decking (such as Trex or TimberTech). Natural wood offers unmatched organic warmth and classic beauty but requires periodic staining, sealing, and power washing to prevent rotting and warping. Composite decking is highly recommended for busy families looking for a high-ROI option; it resists fading, scratching, and mold, requires zero seasonal painting, and is entirely splinter-free, making it completely barefoot and kid-friendly.

  • How does Crafted by Cohen handle contracts and project pricing?

    Crafted by Cohen was founded in 2015 explicitly because we experienced the unreliability, overpricing, and "sham contracts" common in the residential construction industry. We choose to do business differently. Guided by Arielle’s strict real estate ethics, we provide fully transparent, comprehensive, line-item proposals. You will know exactly what your materials, labor, and structural elements cost upfront, paired with a realistic timeline. We value honest relationships and open communication from our initial home consultation to the final walkthrough.
