handyman service, siding
  + 0 more
A piece of siding had come off the eaves of the house and we don't have a ladder long enough to reach, and he gave me a phone estimate to put it back up. When he arrived (on time) we discussed the damage, he explained what he was going to do and completed the job in a timely manner. We also discussed other things that needed fixing and I will be calling him out for the odd jobs that I can no longer do. Very professional, very personable, and yes, I will use his services again!
Description of Work: Replaced a piece of flashing along the eaves.

He tore out the old carpet and hardwood and had to plane some rough seams on the subfloor. We bought our flooring from another company and Charles installed it for us. He is not the fastest person on the planet (he will tell you this himself) but he is very good and I have a great looking floor because of him. I believe he saved us several hundreds of dollars by doing the work by himself and having knowledge about woodworking in general. We will certainly use Charles in the future.
Description of Work: The price we paid was for labor and extra floor parts that he needed to finish laying our laminate floor.

Charles was very good at keeping us up to date when he would be able to start. He always arrived on time and worked to the end of the day. he finished the jobs by the time he told us he would and could make suggestions on various problems that we just didn't know how to handle. he was fair in his price and we are completly satifisfied with his work.
Description of Work: we had several little jobs that needed to be done and Charles was able to do all of them. He fixed the dripping faucets in the bathroom. He reworked our kitchen drain. Our familyroom had been the garage at one time so the outlets were high in the middle of the wall. Charles extended the wiring and drywalled the old cover areas. These were quite satisfactory to me. he also had an idea on the work we needed done on the outside of the house to replace some falling brick. he also chaulked the outsides of our windows. He was very neat with his work and did a great job and probably saved us money because he could do all this on his own without help.

He fit us in between jobs, so my project was done early. The work was completed exactly to the agreed upon specs, and he left the office cleaner than he found it. Very professional, and very polite, during the entire project. I will definitely use this person again.
Description of Work: He built a desk in one of my offices.

Charles was quick to answer our call, give us an estimate, and start work. He was prompt, neat, helpful, and efficient. We have already called him back in October to take care of a problem we weren't aware of the first time and have made plans to have him return in the spring. He will be the first person we call no matter what problem occurs in or around our house because he seems to be able to do just about anything!
Description of Work: We had leakage problems in the ceiling and west wall (around the fireplace) in our living room and the ceiling in the kitchen. This was about the 6th time we'd had problems in that area and had just had a new roof completed! We also had just replaced two sets of french doors in our sunroom and a window in the master bathroom. Charles painted the doors and wall surrounding them, the bathroom window, the water-damaged ceilings and walls, and replaced damaged drywall. He was doing such a good job, we had him paint a couple other doors and do some electrical work as well. During the painting process, we had more leaks appear after a particularly heavy rain! Charles tracked the problem to the chimney itself as well as areas in the brick and mortar. He caulked all the external holes, took care of some much needed cosmetic work around the deck doors, and then sealed the entire west side of the house.

Charles can do anything and he has an eye for detail, he is very precise, and doesn’t rush through his work. He charges by the job not by the hour. I appreciate the fact that being a detailed person myself, he too is a detailed person. So if he is painting a room he doesn’t just slap the paint on, he spends a lot of time doing the trim. Charles is also really good with being aware of the latest improvements in paints, tools, and supplies to make our job the best that can be. He doesn’t slack on the materials. His prices usually come to about $35 an hour. The last thing I paid for the chicken coop and that was three weeks worth of work, of and on and that was $1500. I gave him a fore plan; I gave him a pattern that I got from the internet that he had to go buy. He followed it closely; he even went through the barn to look for old boards and things. He used whatever I had to save the money. Charles is very creative, and communicative about what is going on, what problems he has and helps us make a decision as which route to go and so forth. He does plumbing and electrical work if it is not too big a job but that is what I appreciate about Charles, that if a job were too big for him to handle, then he would say so and walk away from it. Charles doesn’t try to round up some people that we don’t even know, so he just stays off.
Description of Work: I use Charles Kernell Handyman for general handyman and carpentry services. He has done all possible work in our house. He has crawled under our house, he has built shelves, and he last built a chicken coop. Two years ago, Charles painted three rooms in the house.
