It was excellent. He is dependable, reliable, and inexpensive. For pricing, an A only because there is no grade higher than A. Somebody else would charge me a call to come out and then a call for the things they did. He doesn't do that, really. He knows I'll pay him. He's the type of person I can leave the key to the thing and then when I come back he'll either call me with the bill and come by and pick up a check, or I'll bring him a check someplace else or whatever. I've used him forever. Approximately July 15, 2015, I used him the first time; I had a home inspection done on a house I was selling. I paid for it so I would know if there was anything wrong with the house that needed to be fixed, and he came out at a very short notice. He came out and did all the work for me and it was fantastic. The buyer decided that since I had my homeowner's inspection and a sheet from him with all the stuff done to fix everything, that he didn't need a home inspection himself. That's the first time I used him. And you can mark everything A. His punctuality was unbelievable. I mean, he came right out and did this instead of making me wait and wait, holding up the sale or the closing of the house. The charge for that was approximately $365.00. There was a long list of repairs from ceiling rot, a tiny hole in the soffit or fascia that had to be sealed up so that squirrels and birds would not get in the roof. There were all kinds of things; painting, little touch-up painting, and minor repairs to the drywall; just a long list of stuff in multiple categories of home maintenance and repairs. My first impression of this provider was that he was very willing to help me in a professional yet rapid way. In other words, it had to be done and it had to be done quickly. He didn't want me to have the closing held up. He got in there and he came really early in the morning, I met him at the house, opened the door, and stayed around while he worked. He was very fast and I was very appreciative. I've had him do so many things like from the most minute things to something major. Approximately October 20 2016, he did the install of all the new appliances in my house. I re-did the kitchen and he did like the microwave install, which was very complicated, and dishwasher, sink, faucets, the light and the switch for the light where the washer and dryer is in the utility room. He just did everything. And he installed my vinyl kitchen floor. The charge for this service was approximately $233.00. I bought all the stuff and brought it to the house, and he and his assistant did the installs. It looked outstanding and everything worked. The microwave worked, the dishwasher worked. Everything was done as required. Grades were A overall and all categories. Approximately June 2, 2016, he built a gate to block the view of my garbage cans. He cordoned off an area and built a lattice work wall and gate for approximately $135.00. All A's. This was between the fence and the corner of the house. He built the frame for it and then he put the lattice work on there. He built the frame around it, like a picture frame almost, and then he had to put the latch on the gate. That was to keep up with H.O.A. standards. It took him a while. He took his time, he did it right, and it looks great. I haven't had one single problem with it at all.
Description of Work: This was for numerous handyman repairs including a small amount of interior painting and some exterior painting, and minor repairs to the drywall. He installed vinyl flooring and he also built a gate to block the view of my garbage cans.

He is my go-to guy. He is, I wouldn't say the most prompt. In other words he's so busy he's backed up sometimes for weeks, but if it's an emergency he will come out, and if it's not an emergency he will tell you - give you a ballpark of when he will be there, usually within the week, sometimes that same day. I really like him. He's honest, he's inexpensive, and he gets the job done properly. He's licensed and insured. Chuck Short is a really hard working guy and he has jobs lined up for weeks in advance. I'd highly recommend Chuck. It speeds things up when you have things ready to go. He lets the owner do as much as you want to or as little as they want to. I wanna do as much as I can because that means that he can just swing by and do the install and leave. He's very pleasant to do business with, very professional, and tells you the truth.
Description of Work: He took out an old door and frame. The frame was rotting out and he installed a new door and he allowed me and my son to paint it and everything. He installed the hardware too. I provided the door and the hardware and he did the install.

He is my go-to guy. He is, I wouldn't say, the most prompt. In other words, he's so busy he's backed up, sometimes for weeks, but, if it's an emergency, he will come out. If it's not an emergency, he'll give you a ballpark of when he'll be there, usually within the week, sometimes that same day. I really like him. He's honest, he's inexpensive, and he gets the job done properly. He's licensed and insured. He's a really hard-working guy and he always has jobs lined up for weeks in advance. I highly recommend Chuck. It would probably be about $50. He lets the owner do as much as they want to or as little as they want to. I want to do as much as I can. That means he can just swing by, do the install, and leave. You know what I'm saying? It helps.

He's just done so many different things for me. Very reliable and responsible. If it's an emergency, he even comes out on weekends. He really is a gem. His responsiveness was really good this time. I can describe something on the phone to him and he knows what it is. I don't to be an electrician or fence installer to know the right terms and everything. I can just describe the situation and he already knows. He's licensed, bonded, and insured. He's done repairs before, a lot of repairs, and he knows what he can do and what he can't do. He's not in the floor refinishing business. He would not take on that job and lie to me that he can do it and then really can't and that becomes a mess. That's become a thing. I need to know their limits and their expertise. He's always honest about that. He's very honest. He has honesty and integrity.
Description of Work: He fixed an electrical problem. He repaired a garage door, the support around the garage door frame, repaired a garage door frame. He did a switch and a plug in the kitchen.

It was excellent. I have continued to use him because he is reliable and inexpensive. Somebody else would charge me a call to come out and then a charge for the things they did.

Description of Work: He replaced five plastic fence panels. They were damaged in a hailstorm, and he replaced them.
