Champ Khoxayo Carpentry

It went very well, and I will contract with this individual again.

Work performed was awesome! Champ did a great job and was also kind enough to cut and install door trim that wasn’t previously discussed. Would definitely hire again!

Work was done in 3 hours. Door had been ordered ahead of time. Good job.

Champ did a excellent job.this is the 2nd time we had him do some work for us and we couldn't be happier.He is very professional and just a great guy. We know who to call for any future work, we were very impressed with his skills.

This is the third antique home I've renovated. There isn't much I haven't dealt with trying to fix or improve and I've met and worked with more contractors than I can remember. One of the things I really appreciated about Champ was his patience. Antique homes are very challenging. And not all carpenters are up for the challenge of working with walls and floors that aren't level and plum like new construction is. Champ was able to marry old and new materials together beautifully and without becoming frustrated by the amount of time it took to make things right. He's also someone who can go with the flow. If it turned out I didn't like how my first idea was panning out and I wanted to make changes, Champ was very willing to make those changes happen. Not that I've done this a lot. But sometimes with big renovations things don't look how you thought they might and you want to change things up. I've had contractors get very testy about such things. Champ is very patient and kind and wants the job to be done to the homeowner's satisfaction. Another big problem I've had with contractors is how much time they take to get a job done. So many start a job, say they'll be back the next day then you don't see them for a week. I've had work done that should have only take a few days that dragged out for weeks. I've had jobs that should have taken weeks, drag on for months. Champ doesn't do that. He starts a job and shows up every day until it's completely. Last but certainly not least, Champ is very reasonably priced. Never once did he say to me that this or that took more time or materials so the price has to go up. I've had that happen with others more than once. I would recommend Champ Khoxayo Carpentry to anyone. Pictures below

Fabulous work. Clean and super nice.. Great work for great price. I would define recommend him.

CHAMP DID AN EXCELLENT JOB SANDING A VERY BADLY DAMAGED BEDROOM DOOR. THE DOOR FRAME WAS ALSO REPLACED.

Champ did an excellent job covering the eaves on the porch deck - finally - no more squirrels!

Champ has done excellent general carpentry work around our home the past two years. This year we were in need of some super challenging restoration work of our front entry way that incorporated elaborate architectural columns that required complicated moldings, raised panels,etc. Champ worked through all of the challenges,routing out custom moldings in a combination of rot resistant Cedar and Azak to insure decades of classical beauty. Champ gets an A+ grade on a challenging finish carpentry project. His work is on time, neat and efficient. Thank you Champ. Champ is a talented craftsmen who has truly mastered his trade.

We had a plumbing issue that required us to remodel our powder room and replace the flooring in our foyer, powder room, and living room. Champ was the lowest bid by far of the 3 bids we had received and he could do the work quickly. When the work was first done, we were very happy with the work, and patting ourselves on the back for saving ourselves so much money. Soon after the install, we noticed some of the bamboo flooring started buckling. It was this summer when the floor really started to buckle in multiple places. We tried to contact Champ to ask him to come look at what was wrong with the flooring and he replied by telling us that the problem was with the wood not with the install. We had 2 other carpenters come out and look at the flooring, and the issue was that he had not installed it properly, he had not removed the baseboards when he installed the flooring, nor leave space between the flooring and the baseboard and applying shoe molding to cover the gap. In one room of the house, we had to have flooring replaced, and in our living room had to have the entire edge of the room dremeled to allow for expansion. When we Champ was done with the initial work, he was supposed to be working on building builtins for our living room so he kept our house key. I had to contact him multiple times to find out that he "was no longer at our service," and has not responded to my multiple requests to return my house key. I will now need to rekey my house. As it turns out, I am incredibly grateful that Champ was unable to do the additional work for us as we worked with a professional cabinetmaker who did the job of a true craftsman.

Very nice job.

Champ did a great job. These railings were prefinished cherry, and were being installed onto prefinished cherry floors. The margin for error was very small and he was able to make all the correct measurements and cuts without damaging anything.I am very picky, so for me to say a job was done perfectly means a lot!

Champ did an amzing job! He is a one man show but don't let that fool you! He knows his way around carpentry and I am so pleased with my new deck! I was initially thinking of just repairing the deck and staining it but after Champ pointed out the cost of that work and the cost of installing a new deck it was a no brainer to just replace the deck.

He did a great job.

It is hard to find a competent and knowledgeable handy-man who can and is willing to knock off small jobs. Champ did a great job. He is very experienced and skilled. He shows up promptly in the morning and goes to work. I've done a lot of this stuff myself, so in asking questions I was very satisfied with his knowledge.

We couldn't be more pleased with our new kitchen and bath.  Champ gave us a price and told us approximately how long it would take and stuck to both.  The kitchen and bath needed demo, which he did as well as turned our new layout ideas into reality.  He framed the new walls, put the sub-floor down, put down the tiles, black splash, baseboard, crown molding ect..  Now, we ordered our cabinets from Home Depot and had them delivered.  Champ hung every one of them.  He's meticulous in his work, always checking to see things are level and plumb.  We also had two islands/peninsulas that were basically just cabinets and drawer banks, but we wanted the back side and the ends finished of course, so one one he built a book shelf on one side and the joining end and on the other he did raised panels on the end and complete back side.  Those are some examples of some of the value he added for us.  We gave him ideas, he ran with them and made them real.  Our kitchen is gorgeous.  The other thing I should mention is that we had our own plumber come in and our own electrician.  Seeing how we changed our kitchen all together, there was a  lot of electrical and plumbing to be done.  Champ did mention that he had electricians and plumbers that he has used, but like I said, we had people we knew for this.  Champ worked well with them if they were there at the same time.  Everybody basically did their own thing.  We also had a painter come in.  Champ did arrange for the plaster guy to come, which worked out well and he did a great job too.  Sorry, don't remember his name. All I should say is that Champ quoted me, showed up every morning he said he would at am sharp, cleaned up after himself and always communicated with me.  He also hauled away all the old material, which was huge for us.  Champ knows his stuff and our project was a challenge, but he knocked it out of the park.  I got to know Champ while he was here and he's a super guy that takes great pride in his work.  So meticulous and his finish work is seamless. floors, ceilings, bathroom, cabinets, back splash, framing, rough work for the lighting ect...it goes on. If anyone ever wants pictures of what he did with my kitchen and bath, I would be happy to send them.  Not sure if there is a message board on here or email ect, but can always ask Champ for my contact information and reach out as I am happy to not only refer him, but share my experience.

The front steps to my house were poured concrete with metal railing, and over the years they had settled so there was a big step from the landing into the house.  Champ came by initially to discuss what options I had for fixing the situation.  We decided to do use the Trex board platform and vinyl railings.  By deciding on a little bit wider landing, he was able to install the new porch over the existing concrete steps seamlessly.  I absolutely love how the project came out, I believe it added some much needed curb appeal, and ultimately will increase the value of my house. Champ's work is excellent, and his attention to detail is amazing. I will definitely use him again!

It went great.  He is very clean as well. He does a great job cleaning up after himself at the end of the day.

Called Champ initially to discuss what I could do in my kitchen, I had the idea to take down the wall and open things up between the kitchen and dining room.  He met with me to discuss what options I had, and the extent of the work.  I decided to have him add some wainscoting to both rooms as well. <br /> <br /> He scheduled the work very quickly, set up shop in my front yard under a tent because it was so hot and got to work.  It took a few days, as expected.  He took down the wall, then I had others do the electrical and plumbing work necessary.  Always left the area neat and clean at the end of the day, and let me know what was the next step.  He came back, repaired the flooring, walls, and ceiling so it was essentially seamless, you can't tell there was even a wall there.  He did the wainscoting, it came out beautiful.  I did not even realize how wavy my walls are, but he even matched the wavyness.  I wish I could attach pictures. <br /> <br /> I recommend Champ Khoxayo to anyone who needs any type of carpentry work done, his attention to detail is amazing.  There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will be happy with the work he does. <br /> <br /> My next step is my kitchen cabinets and island, I know who I am going to call. <br />

It is now the center piece of our dining room. He layed down hardwood flooring to tie into the existing flooring, tied his crown molding into the existing molding, did all of the drywall himself too.

I loved him!  Strong work ethic by being prompt, efficient, reliable, and stayed in constant communication.  I needed this sky light repaired quickly for insurance inspection and Champ was very accommodating.  The specifications were not available at the store I purchased the window at, so we had a conference call with the window specialists who was able to get as close as we could to the measured opening.  The window was still too big when he went to do the work but Champ made it work:)  I was so thankful.  <br /> The tenant was happy with the finished work as was I. <br /> I would recommend Champ as trustworthy and dependable to anyone looking to have home repair and maintenance done.  In fact, I will be hiring him to do more work for me:) <br /> <br /> <br />
