"For years my wife and I scratched and saved every penny we could in order to redo our house into the home we always wanted. In the beginning of 2020, we decided it was time. We got a few estimates and then found Charles, who in the beginning seemed to be the contractor you always wanted. Attentive, decently price, had the answers, and showed pictures of quality work. In March we broken ground, and again, in the beginning of the project it was going great. Framing and siding was great. Work was being done, Charles was on scene, and in touch every day. ****, we even had a few happy hours at the end of the workday. Then things began to fall apart. Charles for whatever reason, started to become overwhelmed. His attitude, more specifically with my wife, began to become nasty. The work not only slowed but became sloppy and filled with short cuts. Charles went from the contractor with all the answers, to the man with every excuse possible. The excuses piled up and the work came to a standstill. But Charles still wanted his money, even when projects were not completed. But like I said, we had a good relationship, so we paid him for the tile work, even though the kitchen was not tiled yet, and we paid when he asked for the molding payment, even though all the molding was not done. Unfortunately we trusted Charles, and his promise that it would get done with in the week. As our 3–4 month project enter its 6th month with no real energy from Charles to complete his work, he again started to ask for more money. I finally said no. No more money until things that were paid for are finished or fixed (and there were a lot). A reasonable request. This is when the real Charles came out. The arrogance and refusal to acknowledge that what was going on was his fault. Charles refused to come to complete my house, and in December sent a text message to my wife asking to be released from his contract. He has never returned He left my house a danger zone for three young kids. There were electric issues that if left alone would have caused a fire, plumbing issues that could have flooded my house, a crumbling foundation and at least 30,000 dollars worth of unfinished work or work that needed to be redone. Message me privately and I will gladly show pictures and more to the story. What I have realized, is the things my wife and I loved in beginning of our project were done by people other than Charles. A framing company framed our house. Siding was done by siding company. Charles only does molding when his uncle is working. His cousin paints (terribly). I can go on and on but will end with this truth; eventually you figure out that Charles is a bundle of nerves and cannot complete work without other people's confidence. So consumer beware, if you're looking for a big project do not look here for a contractor."

"Worst Experience EVER! We recently asked for work to stop at our home after 6 months. We were told this was a 12 week project and unfortunately the quality of work completed throughout this job is still concerning to us. There was never a competent person at our job in charge from day one. There was never someone acting as a general contractor and that is what we paid for. Instead we were told we were “nit picking.” We wouldn’t wish this experience to happen to anyone in the future. We were also left with unfinished work. This has been the worst experience from literally day 1 and we continued to try and work with whomever showed up at the job that day. This was a nightmare we saved for years and are left with poor results and work still to be completed. The first major mistake when there were pressure treated beams put in both major structures of our living room walls, sheet rock was placed over and not removed until we as the homeowners had someone else inform us this was dangerous and unacceptable. The amount of dust and debris left during this time was inexcusable as they did not have a dumpster and materials that needed to be removed were left in a pile in the living room. When the flooring was first laid there was a 2 inch lift at the front door and a 2 inch dip left at the island. This was also where a pipe was damaged during the installation. We were told this was an additional $3400. There is already a separation in the flooring. The pot filler is 10 inches too high and the electric for the hood was 18 inches too low. The 110 % extra stones we were told to purchase can't be returned. Everything in the house is crooked. The farm sink has molding around it due to an imperfect cut and this was the "solution". The additional cabinets for $2300 that were not in the original contract are already not closing and are poorly constructed. There is so much more. The incorrect paint, the mantel, the damage to the hood, literally every aspect of this job was a nightmare."

"They hit my car with their snow plow in March and it took over 95 days to get them to reimburse me for the costs involved in fixing it. During that time, I was told 5 times that they would definitely come to give me the money that day but after waiting all day they never showed up. Finally when I screamed they came but not with the payment they had promised so it took another few days before I got the money they owed me. It caused me many problems. The owner is a horrible person who does not do what he says he will do. Beware!!!"
