A lifesaver when you need someone you can truly trust!…read more I was home visiting my parents who live in Evanston and ran into a lighting and electrical issue I wasn't comfortable handling myself. I turned to Yelp -- and thankfully, it led me straight to the right person. Pat from AnyFix came out promptly and quickly diagnosed a short that had knocked out my parents' porch light -- something that could've been a real safety issue, especially since my dad has trouble seeing in the dark. Pat was not only knowledgeable and efficient, but also incredibly kind, honest, and professional. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, fixed the issue perfectly, and made sure everything was safe before leaving. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people, not just getting the job done. I'll definitely be keeping his number on speed dial for any future repairs. If you want someone who's dependable, personable, and knows their craft inside and out -- call Pat at AnyFix. You'll be glad you did.

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.

AWSOME CARPENTER - Paul came to look at my project and immediately knew what I had in mind. I…read morewasn't clear on how or what it was going to look like. 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 are in love with the custom library the Wade Brothers built for us and couldn't be happier with…read morethe experience Brian and Mike provided. From the very beginning, they worked with our space and our design requests and made recommendations based on their experience that we knew we could trust. They were clear and upfront about the process, what we could expect, and provided different cost options based on different features. During the building phase, they reached out with design options and recommendations, and we felt like they listened and understood what we wanted. They even matched our current paint and worked with our current fixtures and outlets. Installation took a little longer than expected because they weren't satisfied until it was perfect, and we appreciated their attention to detail. In the end, they delivered on time and on budget. We are delighted with our new library and would work with the Wade Brothers again in a heartbeat.

We had water issues before so we added drain tile, aluminum wall studs, water resistant drywall, ect. We upgraded to an energy star hvac system. We moved the laundry room. We put in four large egress windows. We added two legal to Evanston code bedrooms. We added a family room. We added a full bathroom. It came out beautifully!!!! We also have not had a drop of water this whole spring or summer. (Even through those huge storms!) Response time was fast. Explanations were thorough. And in regards to Natalie......I think that she was new to having projects done in her house. Seeing as she did not have a time table, yes, it is logical to finish roof construction and framing and other such projects. Ron was showing respect for his crew. Oh, and regarding Ron's appearance? He is a Mennonite carpenter. So.....yeah.....he has a pretty big beard.

No middle men. Excellent attention to detail and they will not leave until every last detail is completed to satisfaction. They were extremely responsive and were quick to adapt to any request. Best of all, they were great people and extremely polite and courteous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any job, big or small. They were able to tackle all kinds of details from drop ceilings to wainscoting to cabinets. Don't dismiss them because they're young and don't have many reviews - they know what they are doing and will work hard to deliver!
