Description of Work: Excellent work. I had several porch posts replaced that had been damaged by a fallen tree. The house is over 100 years old so the columns had to be custom made. Darrell Viola was able to locate a mill that still did custom work at a reasonable cost and then he removed & replaced the original posts. I'd recommend him anytime!

Description of Work: Two jobs were involved here, one was a bathroom which required replacment of very old ceramic tile walls with beadboarding and trim at both the top and bottom. Tiles had to be removed, uneven walls and unsquare corners had to be dealt with. The other job involved venting a second floor dryer through the basment to an outside window. Mr. Viola estimated approximately four days and completed the two jobs in about 3 and 2/3 days. Quality of work was the best. Easy to work with. Punctual. Would use him again and in fact have another project scheduled.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Darrell took on a whole house remodel after I had to fire the first contractor. He did an excellent job for me. I was very pleased with his work and would definitely hire him again. He's trustworthy, honest and very pleasant to deal with. All contractors should perform like Darrell. Unfortunately they don't.

It went well. Darrell is very efficient and he does carpentry, electrical ( if it is not major) and most any other type of renovation or repair.
Description of Work: Darrell installed about 16 feet of under-cabinet lights in my kitchen, a new light fixture in a closet, new caulk in the bathroom,and a screening for my trash cans. He also did a few other odds and ends like removing an old TV dish apparatus from the side of my house.

Description of Work: I would recommend Darrell Viola for any remodeling work. He installed a service door in our garage and did some cement work. The job was finished and we are very pleased with the quality, professionalism and the cost of the work. It was all top notch. If we have any more work to do he would be the first we call.

Darrel installed a new deck, a new sliding door, and a new front storm door. I was able to remove the old desk myself to save some money. The quality of work is impressive and Darrel is very easy to work with. He is professional and cares about what he does. He cleans everything up as he goes and keeps you in the loop. His price was better than the other 3 estimates that I got. He is very fast and efficient. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Daryll called me shortly after i bought the deal. After dealing with the difficulties of my schedule, we set a date. Daryll arrived when he said he'd be there and when i came home from work, everything was done and looked great. I would definitely recommend Viola Building and Remodeling to others!
Description of Work: This was an Angie's list big deal - $250 for 8 hours of work. Daryll laid vinyl flooring for me (including a shoe molding) and installed a metal railing on my front steps. He also replaced an electrical switch.

He came right on time, we went to hardware stores to pick wainscoting and crown molding. He then worked quickly and efficiently to complete all tasks, allowing time for the drywall to dry while he did other things. His recommendations for materials were good. He also suggested using polyurethane instead of paint, which actually worked out much better than paint would have. It took him pretty exactly the 8 hours on the coupon to do these tasks and finish cleaning up. He was friendly.
Description of Work: He patched up some drywall that had been damaged with water, put up crown molding, installed wainscoting and trim, and applied polyurethane to the window-frame of a window that is 2 stories high. He came on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and was very neat and clean, even where he had sanded drywall. He did as much messy work as he could outside and brought a dry-vac with a brush to clean up the dust as well as he could.

We have one bedroom with what we believed to be 2 layers of wallpaper. Darrell worked one day stripping the wallpaper. We then learned that what we believed was the base layer was, in fact, two more layers of wall paper. Darrell came back for an additional day in order to get down to the room's original plaster.
Description of Work: Darrell spent two full days completely removing layers of wallpaper from our 106 year old home. His work was detailed, quality, and he wanted to do everything possible to get the job done. He was friendly and trustworthy, and we would definitely use his services again.

Darrell Viola was fabulous! We had 3-days worth of small jobs -- some plumbing, some electrical, building drawers and lowering a chain-link fence. Our house was built in 1960, so nearly every job included something unexpected and challenging, but Darrell solved every problem. He was extremely responsive to our questions and suggestions, and touched base often during every project. He is committed to providing quality work, pays close attention to details, and is respectful of the budget, routinely providing multiple options and costs to choose from. We could not be happier with Darrell and his work and plan to use him as our regular handyman. In addition, we are recommending him to friends and family who are having difficulty, as we did before Darrell, finding a reliable, affordable, qualified, friendly handyman. We give the highest recommendation possible to Darrell Viola!

Darrell sealed a leaking space beneath french doors in our sunroom. Because it had not been properly installed to begin with, he had a challenge to close the space, but did a nice job sealing it up. Additionally, we had a leak in our bedroom ceiling (resulting in a soggy brown spot) and could not identify where it originated. Darrell climbed onto roof to check out vent pipe but couldn't determine for certain if the problem was originating there. We did not have any access to space between our ceiling and the roof. Together we agreed that we needed to create an access to this space. Darrell cut a hole into ceiling of a guest bedroom closet ceiling (constructing door using piece of ceiling he had cut out, then trimmed with wood frame.) Excellent job-we really needed to way a way to access that space--just never got around to it! Once he crawled up into roof area, he found that the vent pipe inside/beneath roof was cracked and broken. Ice and water filled the pipe and had been leaking down into our ceiling. Darrell replace the pipe, repaired the ceiling hole and stained area. We live in rural area. Not only did Darrell drive a distance to help us, he needed some materials and had to make some runs to two local businesses (not nearby, but as "local" as you get for a rural area!) We appreciated this. We were very pleased with Darrell Viola's work, professionalism, work ethic and kindness. We definitely would call him again, and would happily refer him to others needing home repair!
Description of Work: Repaired bottom of a french door in our sunroom by sealing and adding strips. Water leaked in under door when it rained. Replaced broken vent pipe on/in roof. Created an access door to attic through a closet ceiling. Repaired hole / dry-walled ceiling due to leak on ceiling.

I called Darrell for an estimate and he came to my home and provided one very quickly. Work was performed when promised and quicker than expected. There needed to be some changes to the original plan due to unforeseen complications. Darrell adapted his original plan which caused extra work and materials but did not charge me more than the original estimate. I found him to be a very sociable, polite and trustworthy man. I am extremely pleased with the end product and will definitely call him for my next project.
Description of Work: A 14 X 16 foot deck/dock with steps and anchored with concrete.

We are extremely pleased with the finished product. For years we have tried to find someone to do this kind of work at our home and never found someone reasonable who completed quality work. We were fortunate to find Viola and would recommend to anyone looking for such a carpenter.
Description of Work: We've had Viola complete a number of projects at our home, but the largest was installing vinyl porch posts and railing.

He is an independent contractor. He comes from New Cumberland. I spent about $900. He redid the molding around our fireplace. He rebuilt the mantel and he re-tiled the surrounding area around the fireplace as well as the part in front of the fireplace. He did a really nice job with the carpentry part, especially with the wood working. He really listened to my ideas about what I wanted it to look like. He got it done in 30 days and charged me what he said he would charge. I will definitely use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Darrell Viola for my fireplace mantel redone and re-tiled in the first week of January.
