Carl began the project with a site walk, a rough sketch of the design, and a quote for the labor. He also provided us with a suggestion for the best type of wood to fit our budget and an estimate for costs from a local lumberyard. Once we selected Carl as our contractor, I purchased the materials and arranged for delivery. Carl did not charge any percentage on the materials. The replacement of the old deck beams and decking material progressed quickly. My wife and I had some trouble deciding on the type of railing to use. Carl suggested we look at some catalogs at Chinook Lumber. We took his suggestion and found just the type of balusters we wanted. He then made adjustment to the materials list and picked up additional materials for us. Carl even took back some lumber that he felt was inferior and exchanged it for us. The project completed on time and within our budget. We really appreciated Carl's good attitude. He always showed great concern for our desires.
Description of Work: Carl replaced all of the rotted wood in our 12'X 24' deck. He also designed and built a new staircase from the deck down to our garden and a raised walkway from the deck around the side of the house to the laundry room entrance. Carl cut the old railing out for the new walkway access and turned the old ornate iron railing into a beautiful gate, which he hung at the top of the landing. The gate enclosed our deck and made it safe for our grandchild and dog. As a bonus, we gained new storage area under the walkway, which allowed us to save the cost of a garden storage shed. We appreciated Carl's recycling of materials and his creativity.

Great. When Carl initially came out to look at the job the weather was awful, he climbed up on the roof in the rain and sealed everything up so there would be no further damage. He was knowledgeable, respectful...did not talk down to me and did what he said when he said he would do it. And the total came in less than the estimate!! I have found my handyman...I will look no further.
Description of Work: My bathroom window was leaking or so I thought...when in fact my skylight was leaking between the shingles and the roof, the water was running down the roof and getting between the interior and exterior walls. Carl replaced the rotted wood, tar paper, & shingles. Installed the skylight properly. Replaced any rotted wood, the destroyed insulation and siding. Re-inserted the bathroom window and trimmed it out beautifully (better than previous!!) and caulked and sealed the whole works. He also repaired leaks under my kitchen sink and laundry room sink. He removed all the materials and cleaned up beautifully.
