The Viking Craftsman, Inc. is a small business whose owner measures success by the mastery of his workmanship. Since the fall of 2002, The Viking Craftsman, Inc. (TVCI) has completed numerous custom projects, from single built-in entertainment centers to complete home renovations.
Prior to founding The Viking Craftsman, Inc., the owner, Morten Antonsen, was employed by Texas Instruments as an Electrical Analog Design Engineer building interface semiconductor chips. He was always passionate about his woodworking, and has turned this ability into a very successful custom home remodeling business, serving Dallas, Plano and surrounding cities.
What sets TVCI apart is that all woodwork, tile work and finish out is completed by Morten himself. This allows for great attention to detail and is where the personal satisfaction comes from. The Viking Craftsman’s personal pride allows him to only provide workmanship at the highest standard in each and every job he completes.
The Viking Craftsman, Inc. is all about: ‘you get what you pay for’, personal service, straight talk, craftsmanship, creativity, functionality, robustness. TVCI is not about image or flash.
TVCI strongly believes in the saying: “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the joy of low price is forgotten.”
TVCI enjoys working with all kinds of materials and thinking outside the box. We do not have a certain style we prefer. We like to do different and challenging home remodeling projects in all kind of styles. The only up front criteria as to how a certain project and its style should look is whether the level of quality is worthy of TVCI’s stamp of approval. We should want to claim ownership and publish a photograph of the finished product. TVCI will not try to coach a client in a direction where they are not comfortable.
In addition to the actual home remodeling itself, TVCI offers design and architectural services as needed. However, Morten has a keen sense of space and can picture the finished project from a client’s rough drawings and ideas. Morten has found that he can handle most interior projects in this manner. Obviously, additions and structural changes require full design and engineering. Because Morten is doing the work himself it enables the client to make changes on the fly, and no formal ‘change order’ process is needed to change a formal design. The client and Morten will routinely talk in person or by phone several times a day.
All the furniture, cabinets, tile work, and woodwork featured on this website have been custom created by Morten Antonsen. They have not been outsourced to various shops or subcontractors. When subcontractors are required, Morten only works with trusted professionals to ensure exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
You will be proud to show off your newly refurbished home or custom furniture to your family and friends. The work will please the most critical eye. As unattainable as perfection is, perfection is TVCI’s ultimate goal. Give us a call for more information on one of the finest home remodeling services you will find in Dallas.

Stephanie Volm2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with Morten on two projects now. We first found him while searching for a contractor to help us address an urgent kitchen remodel after our dishwasher suddenly flooded out our lower cabinets. Morten was so knowledgable and really guided us through all of the decisions and considerations we didn't know we were going to have to make. He helped us think about HOW we use our kitchen, given us a bunch of suggestions on functionality that may be helpful and also working through some ideas I had. He was a great partner. Even more so, the quality of his work is really fantastic. We got estimates from multiple contractors and chose Morten because his approach to building for our house (and not in some random factory) made us know we were getting quality. Our cabinets are so impressive and such high quality, we get compliments all of the time. He helped us with sliding shelves, magic corners, multi-purpose drawers and even hidden storage on the ends for our dog leashes! I love that he does the work himself and doesn't have a huge team of subcontractors. It's super clear he takes great pride in his work and it's reflected in my house now! We loved working with him so much we then asked him to do a guest suite remodel. I had a vision for the bathroom vanity for both storage and look and he executed it perfectly! He retro-fitted pocket doors for us and took out awful built-ins to make the bathroom beautiful, clean, and add some much needed space. He's easy to work with, gives great insight, has outstanding quality and ensures you love the final product. We'll be doing our primary bathroom/bedroom next year and will be using Morten for that too! I can't say enough about how happy we are with his professionalism, pure craftsman talent, and outstanding work! Susan Krenek2024-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morten just completed the last of our first floor renovation and we love it! He finished renovation of our master bathroom, bar, family room, kitchen and stairway after water damage from the freeze in 2021. We have been very happy with his workmanship, so we had him back to reconfigure our laundry room. We love the functionality of our new space!

Excellent Craftsmanship very happy with project performed for us Jennifer Roemer2023-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Morten in February 2022 to completely gut my kitchen and master bath. He also took down wood paneling and cabinets in my living room. He was fabulous. He spent time with me getting to know my needs and designed custom cabinets in both locations. For example, I said I need a proper place to store my blow dryer and other styling products. So he made a drawer with holders for the blow dryer and flat iron. Like a salon! He will listen to you and come up with a design to suit your needs and space. Morten was in my house nearly every day from Feb. to August and I trust him 100%. He is meticulous (trained as an electrical engineer and it shows in the care he takes measuring and ensuring, for example, that the shower pan will properly drain. Mine did not before.). He is neat and tidy as are the electrician and painter with whom he works. If you’re looking for a genuine craftsman who doesn’t deal in pre-fabricated materials and construction, you cannot go wrong with Morten. I told him the other day I look forward to coming home from work and being in my new kitchen and bathroom. I love them! Photos below are before and after first for kitchen and then bathroom. Joanne Hannaman2020-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friends and neighbors referred us to Morton, The Viking Craftsman for a new outdoor deck that evolved into a 1st floor remodel of our home. Morten did not disappoint, all work exceeded our expectations! The quality of custom workmanship is exceptional. Morten’s clear communication of process, timelines and costs helped us break down our design, appliance and hardware decisions into logical, manageable pieces. His painting and flooring subcontractors were just as impressive. Great quality and attention to detail! We were particularly grateful for Morton’s calm demeanor and his honesty, flexibility and expertise in kitchen and bathroom design. At the completion of the project we fell in love with our 20yr old home all over again. We also made a great friend in Morten, he is a true Craftsman!! We highly recommend The Viking Craftsman without reservation to anyone looking to renovate/remodel their home. P Grabow (pcg)2020-03-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morten is a real craftsman -- talented, professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. He modified our master bath by replacing the tub with a large shower, reconfigured the old shower/toilet area, and resurfaced/painted the walls. His painting sub did a fantastic job -- helping us choose the color with detailed, professional execution. saabviggen932019-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent contractor. Does 99% of work himself. Meticulous attention to detail. Beautifully handcrafted woodwork vanity. Easy to work with. Value priced. Best possible bathroom renovation experience. Hiring him again for additional work in other parts of house. Excellent at plumbing, woodwork, tiling, aesthetics. Hire him! Joey Merz2016-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished a project with Morten the Viking Craftsman. Morten did a complete rebuild of our living room builtin cabinets to accommodate a new flat screen TV configuration. We found Morten by researching online. From our very first conversation Morten was professional and knowledgeable. We have had challenges with contractors in the past, as most people have, but that was not the case here. Morten did an outstanding job, he was a pleasure to work with and did exceptional work. He was efficient and minimized the impact to our home during construction. In my opinion, Morten is a very honest, genuine person who I would and will recommend to all of my friends and neighbors. We couldn't be happier!
