If only we had learned about how great Mr. Handyman of Naperville is earlier, we would have been a…read morelot happier with repair and installation experiences. We recently had a different "fix it" company here for two days. We gave up on them in frustration. They made a lot of errors and were very slow. ***Then we switched to Mr. Handyman and everything turned around for the better.*** Kevin and Ray got more done in half a day than the two other workers accomplished in two days. And Keven and Ray did a much more professional, higher quality job. Our activities included electrical (over 40 switches and outlets replaced!), painting, basement ceiling track replacement, painting and installation of a basement handrail, sump pump work, exterior caulking, and duct replacement and sealing. Their hourly rate might be a little higher than some of their competitors, but their total cost, due to their expertise and work ethic, was far less. I have absolutely zero hesitation recommending this firm.

The top portion of an exterior trim window on my second floor was starting to rot and peel away, so…read moreI was looking to have someone to be able to remove and replace it. It was a bit of a tricky job due to the trim being arched, which meant it had to be traced and cut appropriately. I had the pleasure of contacting David, whom I asked several questions of how he would go about the process and I felt very comfortable with everything he walked through. He scheduled the work for a couple weeks out, text notifications let me know when he would be arriving and he was able to complete everything within a few hours. David cut the replacement beautifully using PVC so there is no maintenance on it in the future and caulked / sealed up all points of exposure to rain. He was very efficient, kind, and answered all the questions I had since I'm learning to do these kinds of tasks on my own. The pricing was extremely competitive and there's no question that I'll have David back pretty soon for other jobs around my home that I'm not comfortable handling. Highly recommended, thanks again David! Best, Charlie

Chris was wonderful - professional and friendly, he did top-quality work and completed the job in a timely manner. I felt very comfortable having Chris working in our home with our dog present, which is always an added bonus! The quality of Chris' work was excellent, he matched the stain & finish of our existing cabinets exactly - you would never know his pieces were added later. When he came over for the quote I explain my "vision" and he matched it exactly, for a very fair and competitive price. I would highly recommend Chris to friends and family, and do intend to have him back in the future for other projects around the house that I would like to have done! Chris is a very skilled carpenter, I could tell that from his portfolio of work right away. You won't be dissapointed with Chris!

We needed some office furniture, but could not find what we wanted in stores or on the Internet. We…read morethen looked into custom made furniture, getting bids from 4 companies, 1 of which was CA Custom Woodworking (Chris Ammenhauser, proprietor). We went with Chris, and now that the job is done, we are very pleased with the outcome. I would give Chris a high recommendation for any custom furniture you may need. The following is our experience, and compares Chris with his competition (stores and other custom contractors) in 4 areas: 1) MATCH TO WHAT WE WANTED: Store: Not good. We couldn't find what we wanted in a store or on the Internet. Chris: Very good. We documented exactly what we wanted (exact sizes, functionality, finish), & Chris built it exactly as wanted. We left the trim, molding, door/drawer panels up to Chris & he made good choices. We provided the knobs & pulls. Custom Competition: We were dealing with honest reputable companies and feel their results would have been as good as Chris's, for matching what we wanted. 2) QUALITY: Store: Varies from low to high. Chris: High quality, comparable to high quality store furniture. All solid wood or plywood, solid well built, good joints, quality drawer-guides & hinges, good finish. Custom Competition: From 2 of them we would expect quality equal to Chris's, but from 1 their quality clearly seemed inferior, using pressboard/plywood veneers with Rafix connectors. 3) PRICE: Custom furniture cannot compete on price with store furniture, which is usually mass-produced in volume in low wage countries using pressboard and wood veneers. Chris's price was lower than his custom competition, which made this project possible for us. We found this approximate rule-of-thumb: Store: (if we could find what we wanted) cost = X dollars. Chris: cost = 1.5X dollars. Custom Competition: cost = 2X to 2.6X dollars. 4) TIME: Store: If they have it, fastest = same day. If they have to order it, slowest = usually 3 months or more in our experience, in spite of their initial promises to get it faster. Chris: Our job (which I considered to be a large job) took 2 months. Custom Competition: their estimates varied from 4 to 14 weeks.
