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.

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.

We hired Chara Construction to create a walkout exit from our family room to the backyard. Paul and…read morehis crew opened up the exterior wall, cut through Hardy board siding, installed new French doors, and built a landing deck with adjoining staircase. Paul helped design the layout and worked with us to choose the right TimberTech decking materials. They trimmed the door on the interior and exterior walls, insulated, taped, drywalled and installed new outdoor lighting. Subsequently, Paul redid some indoor handrails, cutting, resizing, glueing and more, and wow, looks so professional. What's great about these guys is they show up early every morning, communicate status, clean up afterwards, are efficient, trustworthy, and take pride in their work. The entire process from start to finish was seamless. Paul will offer measurement suggestions and ideas if you're not sure what you're doing (me). He will also re-do anything you're not 100 percent happy with. Paul and his team did an incredible job transforming our house. They added dimension and character and it looks beautiful - as if it was original to the house. I took a leap of faith and hired Chara Construction from thier Yelp reviews and it turned out to be a great decision. I would not hesitate to hire Paul for any of your projects, big or small. Before and after pictures attached.

I found this company on Yelp and picked them because of their experience with other waterfront properties. They tore down our old home and left a few walls to rebuild per new drawings from our architect. This included framing, siding, installation of windows/doors, front porch/back deck, stairs, interior flooring, installed cabinets, bathroom tile, trim/crown molding, closet organizers, remodeled garage, fence, etc... the list goes on. I just show Phil a picture of what we want and he builds it. The owner Phil Novak and his family have become great friend through this project. I've trust him with a key to our house because he treats it like it's his own. Many of my neighbors, friends and family now use this company. They did an awesome remodel of my neighbor's boat house on Petite Lake. Treat him and his team with respect and they will take good care of you.

The owner Daniel took half of the quote upfront and after two weeks stopped showing up and ran with the money. Stopped answering calls, texts.

Asked around and apparently I'm atleast the 3rd person who he had done this to. began proceedings with better business bureau and other agencies to see how this person can be penalized.
