Had no clue that this client purchased an advanced service deal through AL. I wasn't made aware of this until I received the phone call from the customer asking when I would be available to come to her home. At the time I was booked up 2 months out.

Chuck came out and gave an estimate which was very acceptable. He started on time and completed everything in one day as he said he would. He is very professional and worked nonstop. The finished work is great. He even cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: installed two blackout blinds in bedroom, a ceiling fan, fixed holes in basement ceiling with drywall and applied stucco, removed old bathroom cabinet and installed 2 bathroom lights and a mirror, replaced bathroom exhaust fan.

Chuck Jackson was very professional and efficient. He arrived at the time he committed to and completed the work much quicker than I expected. His rate is very reasonable. He returned a few days later to finish the drywall and did not charge us for this visit. I would highly recommend Chuck and will certainly contract with him again. Best contractor I have ever used.
Description of Work: The following services were performed: 1. Patching of holes in wall / drywall. 2. Install ceiling fan. 3. Repair damaged siding. 4. Install folding doors.

Chuck is the best! I have used him in the past to fix my deck and the work he did in my kitchen is impeccable. He painted, put in new floors, lighting, installed plumbing for new sink, put in a phenomenal backsplash and new hardware for the cabinets. I love my kitchen, it went from the 70's to a modern highlight. The appliances and countertop were installed by another company but Chuck was there every step of the way to assist and watch the installation, he goes above and beyond what you ask for. His eye for detail and finished work are rare and added value to the finished product. I plan on using him to update my bathrooms and basement and I know they will look just as great!

He is an excellent mechanic. He is particular about his work. I wish I would have met him 20 years ago. He would have had my business for the next 50 years. He is very concerned about his work. He takes his time and does it well.

Here's another in the list of great reviews for Chuck. I had a half-dozen people look at the job and received all sorts of odd, unnecessary (and expensive) proposals. I'm glad I waited until Chuck had a chance to look at it and ultimately take on the job. I am extremely happy with the result, and his price was more than fair. Professional and polite in every way. I definitely plan to use him for some other jobs as I continue to restore my old house.
Description of Work: Chuck replaced rotted wood on my porch wall and put in new posts that support the porch roof.

Chuck is great!! He is a consumate professional with an outstanding work ethic, his prices are very reasonable and most importantly he is on TIME. I contacted him during the evening and that same night he responded to set up an appointment for the estimate. When he came to take a look at the project, he surveyed the property and went over the process of what would be done. That same day he emailed me an estimate with all the items discussed. Very efficient!! He started working on the new roof for my deck on Friday and worked through the rain and snow showers on Saturday- talk about a hard worker! My roof deck looks phenomenal and I am more than pleased with the finished product. I have already asked Chuck to do update my kitchen. This was money well spent. I have dealt with a lot of contractors and Chuck by far is the best I have worked with. He is definitely someone you will keep on speed dial.
Description of Work: Deck roof repair that included new shingles, plywood, facia board and gutter.

Response from Charles E Jackson Construction
I am sorry to receive this report from the member. Having researched my notes I see that I tried to call her on 3 separate occasions (at the phone number provided by the client). When several weeks went by and I never heard back from her, I assumed that he’d changed his mind or found someone else to do the work. Now though, having read this report and reviewed my notes, I can only assume that there was some sort of breakdown, and that she didn’t get any of my messages. Customer responsiveness is a fundamental principle of my business and I work hard to provide prompt client-call-backs. I called and spoke with the member the first time but when I tried to call back to schedule an appointment, I only reached her voicemail. I regret that she and I didn’t connect, as I believe that we could have worked something out. Every other report about me on Angie’s List has been really great, and I’d like for all of my clients to feel happy about my responsiveness and about my work. While I don’t agree with this report, I do understand that unfortunate mistakes happen, and I respect Mr. Crawford’s right to vent his grievances. I hope that Mr. Crawford found someone better suited for his needs and that whatever problem he had, has been resolved. No hard feelings. While negative reports, especially under such confusing circumstances, are a challenge, this experience has provided me the opportunity to reiterate that it’s my policy to return customer calls on the SAME DAY. To anyone reading this response: if you ever feel dissatisfied about my responsiveness or about my work, let’s talk about it and try to work something out. I’d much prefer to hear about your complaints from you and have the chance to do something about it, and not be surprised by a negative report on Angie’s List. In addition to my work number, my personal cell number is 260.580.6266 and my email is chuckejax@gmail.com feel free to contact me by phone or email.

The condo where I live has very tall ceilings and a very heavy bathroom door. The door had become unhinged from the frame because of its weight and was no longer opening/closing properly. Mr. Jackson responded very promptly and professionally to my request for an estimate/services/suggestions. He came promptly on time as agreed to inspect the project, quoted a very fair price and repaired the door and frame properly and quickly. So quickly, in fact that he offered to do whatever additional work I had for him, as he had charged his minimum one hour labor rate. I am very favorably impressed with this individual and the quality of his work, and most especially with the way he does business. Highly recommended.

Our roof needed some work badly but we insisted on supporting the local small business owners. A co-worker of mine mentioned that her sister in Annapolis used Charles E. Jackson Construction and was more than pleased-- So naturally after a more than good review I decided to try Charles and his construction company. The roof had a few missing patches and needed some TLC. We were even looking to have someone lightly clean the gutters but to my surprise Charles did this for us. He said it was no problem at all and that he was happy to do it. This really saved us more time and $$$ so as you can imagine we were more than satisfied. Once Charles completed the roofing he came into the house to close out for the day and helped us by adding an additional outlet to our family room-- free of charge! WOW! Very happy again. Charles is polite, helpful and he has the kind of work ethic you just don't see these days.
Description of Work: We requested and received a fixed price for the job which was honored after job completion. In addition to a great work ethic, Charles is always consistent, polite, and he does a wonderful clean up after his work is completed. I was very satisfied with his tremendous skill set. He is also very punctual and fixed additional things around the house. He noticed that we needed another outlet in our family room and insisted on making one for us. This was very helpful and much appreciated. I have already recommended Charles Constructions to 3 of my closest friends and family members. They too were very happy with all things inclusive-- price, service, and time managment. If you need a handyman, please seek Charles E. Jackson for assistance-- you wont regret it!

Chuck came out and gave me an estimated which I thought was quite reasonable. The quote was for an hourly rate plus materials, each job to be performed was broken down in detail. My wife gave him a deposit for the materials and he came back on one of the hottest days of the year and performed the work and stayed until he completed it. Worked was completed over a two day period. He also emailed me to make sure that we were satisfied with the work. I would definitely would use Chuck again.
Description of Work: I previously had some worked done by a handyman who did not completed a couple of things such as parging a small area and re-hanging up a hand rail to the basement removed during the parging. I needed a wood window frame replaced that had rotted. The window needed to be removed to do this job. The window frame also needed to be caulked and repainted. Replacement of vent cap that rattled in the winter when the winds gusted was also performed.

Charles Jackson removed the old wood pieces that had rotted. He cut and fitted new treated wood to fill in where the old wood was removed. Having an historic home that is near the water has many challenges. The salt, humidity, and sun cause all kinds of wear and tear. Being located in a rural, out-of-the-way area sometimes makes it even more of a challenge to find contractors who will make the trek and carryout the duties in a timely manner. Mr. Jackson arrived within the time as stated and on our appointed date. He removed the rotted wood and cut and replaced new treated wood to fill the gaps. The repairs make the porch steady and safe for visitors walking on the planks and relaxing on the front porch. It was not the average shore handyman repair. Mr. Jackson brought an artist's eye to the work.
Description of Work: I have an historic house by the water with a wood porch in need of replacement. But for now, I wanted the bad wood removed and replacement pieces cut and fitted in the worn areas. Charles Jackson removed the old worn wood and replaced it with new pieces of treated wood that was cut to fit.

This is like the third time Chuck has come to our home and he always does good work. I just called him, he got right back to me and we set up an estimate. He came over and looked over the job and gave me the price. He came back when agreed and did a really good job.
Description of Work: I hired Chuck to come back and paint the exterior trim on our hose. Chuck came over and first scraped-off all of the old paint and repaired anything that was missing such as any nails or screws. He also showed me how he tightened any loose wood. I then watched him caulk and prime the trim. He then painted the trim all around our house. He is a great painter - he paints straight and doesn't need to waste time with that tape. His lines are exact and it has really improved the look of our place. I highly recommend this guy.
