We can't wait to work with Wade Brothers again on a future project, and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality, custom pieces for their home.

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.

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.
