Ken did a fantastic job. When I initially met with Ken, I had a very disorganized entry closet, a…read moregeneral idea, and a picture off the internet of what I thinking. From just the picture Ken came up with a plan and was able to design and build a custom entry bench and storage. After the initial meeting and design, Ken came back onsite a couple weeks later with most of the materials built out, and assembled and installed everything. Could not be happier with how everything turned out. He leveraged every bit of functional space, which we need with small children, and also made a beautiful entry piece. Ken was super professional, kept me updated along the way and clearly went over options or any ideas I had for changes. Will definitely use him again for future jobs.

Ken is very nice to work with, honest, and fair in pricing. He is very good at what he does and his craftsmanship is excellent. He took the time to understand the job and do it right. Hard to find a good contractor these days, and I was lucky to have found him. I will hire Ken again whenever I need custom woodwork done.

Adrian will always give you the real deal on whatever your project is, which was quite refreshing after having worked with a number of contractors who would regularly try to upsell, tack on extra services and just generally be a bit to pushy for add-on sales. We started working with him three years ago and have just kept coming back - highly recommend.

We hired Adrian's carpentry for the first time recently to do some exterior home repairs (siding and shutters replacement, fence repair, miscellaneous carpentry repairs around the house, and repainting the entire house). Adrian and his crew did not disappoint! The work was all done at a consistently high level of quality -- and in a short timeframe, given the large scope of the job. As far as the business side, Adrian proved to be efficient, professional and easy to work with throughout the process. On the performance side, Adrian and his crew took no shortcuts, they made sure all aspects were completed to a high standard, and quality materials were used throughout. Big compliments from friends and neighbors followed as the crew's quality workmanship became evident. The prices were entirely reasonable. We definitely recommend Adrian's Carpentry, and we will definitely consider hiring the company again when we need more work done.

We engaged Chara Construction to rebuild the entranceway to our enclosed front porch, adding two…read morenew windows and an all-weather door. Paul and his team did an excellent job. Having had several large indoor projects completed to our older home, I know how to evaluate renovation work. The door and windows are all flush and tightly sealed, the door swings freely, and all the trim looks great. The replacement woodwork is indistinguishable from what was there before (minus the dry rot, of course!) Paul's team also spent a lot of time with me picking exactly the right windows for the job, and we settled on the perfect balance between appearance and ease of maintenance. I would hire Chara Construction for any future renovation jobs on my 100-plus year-old home in a heartbeat.

I was asking for simple shelving above my kitchen island and a bar with shelves in the corner of the dining room. Paul thought about it and did some drawings with me there and I approved of the rough ideas he had. when he came back to do the work, he was always there when he said he would be, worked tirelessly, and always cleaned up nicely for the next day. Paul kept adding ideas and I kept approving and the end result was something I had'nt even imagined. both projects were done within a week, the price was amazing for what I got and I am over the moon with my new bar and kitchen shelving. I highly recommend Chara Construction for your wood projects. Paul is a very creative carpenter that takes great pride in what he does. I'm so happy I found him.
