HISTORY


Established in 2010.
I started providing small project / handyman services in 2010 as a way to supplement my income after a layoff in the tech sector. This part-time activity evolved into a fulfilling, full-time career.

ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


Chuck Zissman, the business owner and primary technician, has been performing improvements and repairs on bay area homes for decades and is skilled in may trades including carpentry, electrical, masonry / concrete, plumbing and landscaping.

Chuck has always been a hands-on man who spent most of his adult life working in the technology sector, but found the work unfulfilling. In 2009, he founded All Systems Home Service to combine his love of home improvement with his recently developed career in residential real estate re-sales (flipping houses), and is licensed by the California Department of Real Estate as a Real Estate Salesperson.

Chuck just walked out the door after doing some work for me at our home.

I really appreciated the pre-work conversations. He's adept at gauging your level of technical knowledge to both get prepared for the work onsite as well as to set your expectations as the customer of what might be able to be done and possible complications that might arise with the requested work.

We went through two lighting installation/modification jobs for our home with the work that I wanted done. It turned out that one of my requests would lead to significant work on the drywall to accomplish, so I opted out of doing that work. However, once he understood why I was requesting the work, he brainstormed some thoughtful suggestions for me to research and helped direct me in the right direction. While he was working on my 2nd request, I found the solution that would meet 90% of my goal with no retrofit work required. That was an awesome tip that led to a solid end solution.

My 2nd request was an installation of a light fixture in the master closet. He executed that effectively, efficiently, and exactly to the spec requested. He tidied up around where worked and after he left, it was like he wasn't there.

I really enjoyed working with him. Modest rates, warm and friendly demeanor, and just all around great guy. He's at the top of my go-to list for these kind of jobs from now on.

Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a smart, efficient, and reliable generalist.

Chuck came to take a look at my attic fan which seemed to turn on and remain on, even when the weather was not particularly warm. He told me that my fan was working normally! At my request, he turned the fan thermostat setting up slightly; then, without being asked, looked around the attic to troubleshoot the problem. He came up with a perfectly reasonable explanation and suggested a solution to help me avert the problem in the future. His charge was very reasonable. I recommend Chuck for his honest and quality service. He is very pleasant to deal with and he seems to care about his work.

We had to body slam our front door to get it to close. Once the wood started to chip away and the screw heads started to get shaved off, I reached out to Chuck to get it fixed ASAP. Chuck texted with me to learn as much as possible about the problem to save time. He worked us in to his busy schedule. Chuck always told us when he was coming, when he arrived, and when he was heading out for the day. Chuck always explained any issues that came up like whether to shave the door on one side or the other and taught me some tricks of the trade too. I felt he was respectful of the time being spent. Price was very reasonable too. Overall, I always felt like we were making progress and that I could count on hearing back from him... which I'm feeling is kind of rare these days! Thanks Chuck!

I had an outdoor electrical outlet the powers our outdoor lighting and watering systems that was not working.  I texted Chuck and he texted me back with several things to check (breakers, GFCI reset) in case I could fix it myself quickly.  None of those worked, so he was able to come out quickly and install a new outlet, after discovering that the old outlet was defective.  He was really good to work with, and I'd recommend him highly.

I tend to only bother to write reviews when the service is exceptional or terrible.  Here it is exceptional.

I did the standard Yelp search and liked what we saw about All Systems.  We asked Chuck (the owner) to help us with a series of plumbing and electrical tasks around the house and in the garage.  Our house is an old house and therefore several of the projects were less than obvious.

Over about 4 scheduled visits, chuck came and got it all done.  Some items took more time than he expected and he made time over the weekend to get it done for us.

He was extremely proactive in terms of texting when he would come, when he left, how things were going.  He went out of his way to ensure things were done the way he'd want it done if it were his house - recommending against some items when not necessary, but also suggesting items when he thought it would add value.  This level of consultative service was very much appreciated.

The quality of the work was great - we are very satisfied.

And the entire time, chuck was friendly and professional.

(Side note: this happened during the covid-era, and chuck was conscientious about cleanliness and mask wearing).

Without reservation, i would recommend Chuck to a friend and will call him again.

I was looking to get my garden lights taken down and was on a time crunch since we were moving. Not only did Chuck respond quickly to the quote request but was able to look at the photos I shared to determine that it'd be a quick job. He was able to squeeze me into his schedule and got all of the light down carefully without breaking any of the bulbs in a little under an hour. He does charge for an hour minimum but the the efficiency and care, so worth it! Unfortunately we are moving out of his service area but if you need a handyman and live within his service area, give him a call!!!

Chuck fixed an electrical problem for me, no problem.  He also gave me advice on how to easily fix a different issue that he felt would cost less for me to fix myself (which I will do).

Thanks!

I have 2 outlets in the kitchen that stopped working, so I asked for quotes from local electricians for a house call.
Charles from All Systems replied back in just 23 minutes on a Thursday evening, and offered a suggestion to reset the GFCI switch on the outlets, or if they weren't GFCI, to reset nearby GFCI outlets as many are often connected together.
I tried that and it worked!  Charles was very polite and helpful, and helped me solve a common problem without needing a house call after all.
Thank you Charles for the great customer service!

Five stars for a zero dollar solution to a somewhat perplexing electrical problem. I sent a message to Charles about some perplexing outlet problems we were having and missing breaker. He was able to solve the problem for me without coming out.

This is why next time I have a problem, he will be my go to guy.

Chuck really saved the day for us. We initially called him to help out with some electrical work, which he completed really quickly and thoroughly. He explained the issue and the fix and then fixed it.

From there, our conversation turned to an issue we were having with installing a new dishwasher. He changed his plans for the day to stay and help us install the new dishwasher. Again he was thorough and really put in quality work. We'll definitely be calling him next time we have a need. He's also a very nice, relatable guy.

My tub was beginning to leak where it joins with the tub door, so I called various places for quotes, but Chuck was the only one who asked meaningful questions about my dilemma and was able to give me a thorough and accurate run-through of what the repair job would entail.  From this I gathered that he is a detail-oriented person who is expert at what he does, which was later confirmed to be true by the wonderful results of his work.  For example, he did his research by reading through the manual for the exact model tub that I had and followed the directions to a tee on what type adhesive to use, something that the previous homeowner's handyman neglected to do obviously.  One of my tub doors had a handle that was falling out of place and he even fixed that, so it literally felt like I came home to a brand new tub.

Another thing I appreciated was how careful he was with moving things around and keeping things clean, because I imagine working with tubs and leaks can get messy but I came home to a perfectly clean and tidy bathroom.  Chuck is also extremely thoughtful and respectful-- without being asked he took off his shoes when entering the house.  He's also very kind and cheery with his words, which makes a world of a difference when dealing with the stress of things breaking down in the house.

I've already recommended him to friends and family and would call him up again should something else need fixing in the future.  Quality handymen really are rare to come by these days.

My husband contacted Charles this afternoon and he stopped by the same day to fix a number of electrical problems we had around the house.  Chuck was very friendly and knowledgeable.  He fixed a broken outlet under our sink and a couple lighting issues around the house.  Very pleased with his prompt, friendly and reasonably priced services.  Will definitely call him again!

When I first met with Chuck, I was very happy to discover what an easy person he was to talk to and discuss options for my two big projects.  One was re-hanging a very heavy door and one was creating and installing a mantle for my living room.  He worked very hard to create exactly what I was looking for.  Chuck is easy to communicate with, polite, straightforward, knowledgeable, and honest.  I also had a few smaller things that needed taking care of and Chuck took care of these very professionally.  Every part of Chuck's work is very well done.
If you want an honest, experienced, and really down to earth nice man to work with, contact Chuck.  The best way to get him is by text.  I would absolutely recommend Chuck without hesitation.

I worked with Chuck on my home's electricity. Although he was very busy, he came to my house to fix the main panel and switches for 3 times. I had many questions about what needs to be done and he was very sincere to answer all the question. What helped me a lot was that he made a phone call to the manufacturer and gave me the information of what material I should purchase. We also had issues with the sprinkler and he gave us very good advice. Thanks Chuck, I hope to work with you again!

I asked Chuck to come by and fix a couple of our external doors that were not installed correctly.  He gave me his availability (via text, which is hugely helpful for me at work) and we worked out a time to have him come by.   I met him at my home and went to work leaving him to do the job (he was right on-time per appt).  When done he texted me pics and videos of the work done.  Bottom line: Chuck is the guy to call when you need a handyman.  I will definitely use him again and appreciate his customer service.  
Thanks Chuck!!

I called and left a voice mesage that I needed my furnace pilot light re-lit. I also sent a text. Chuck responded to my text message within 1/2 an hour. He was actually closed for the day but he did return my text message that he was not able to come out perform furnace service because he is booked through mid January. I do appreciate the fact that Chuck had the professional decency to promptly reponse to my messages.

Quick response time, easy to work with, terrific work, and more than fair prices. What more can you ask?

I hired Chuck to fix several things around the house. For the more complex jobs, he offered several creative solutions at varying price levels. All work was quickly and professionally accomplished.

I plan to hire him again, and will recommend him to several friends who are in need of someone to do home repairs.

If you want honest, experienced and really down to earth (so you can actually have a conversation about the project) then reach out to Chuck.
Best way to get him is by text. He will send you his rates and availability.
He was very accommodating with working after 5pm which was really helpful.
I had a dishwasher draining issue. Chuck showed me how to drain it manually. Checked the water flow and instead of billing for hours to pull it apart suggested that I call the manufacturer and see if this problem has already been reported.
That way I could purchase the needed part and get him back again.
This saved me money and I appreciated the help (because I was lost and Utube were sending me down a dark path with do it yourself suggestions).
Get a professional in to do the job right - CHUCK is your man.
Will definitely have him back in my home.
Thx Chuck

I originally contacted Chuck in Sept to get quotes on changing out toilets and vanity cabinets, however due to unforseen circumstances,  I had to put it on hold and renovate my kitchen instead.

I called Chuck to see if he was able to help with kitchen project, but he wasn't able to.  So we both agreed that once my kitchen was done, he'd be happy to help with other projects that would be $500 or less because he's not allowed to charge above that by law.

I recently text him over the holidays and has not heard one reply.  Am quite disappointed as Chuck is aa nice man n was prompt in his previous responses.

I recently purchased a new kitchen faucet and a new water dispenser for my filter. I try to be somewhat diy, but I'm not afraid to admit when I'm better off with a professional. You don't want to risk it with plumbing. After checking out the reviews, I gave Chuck a call and he answered right away. We setup a day and time, and he came by this morning to do the work. He was very quick with a more challenging install, professional, and also very friendly. I was able to discuss some plans for future work, and also got some great advice on things I would be doing myself in the future.

A great overall experience. After some experience with flaky handymen in the past, I've definitely found my new go to guy for the future!

We hired chuck to increase the voltage for the transformer going to our doorbell to support a smart doorbell (Nest Hello). He was able to come out the same day we called and complete the job the same day. Very courteous and professional, and he stayed to help make sure that we had the Nest Hello wiring correct and that it was working in the end. Thanks, Chuck!

Smoothly arranged an appointment and was pleasantly surprised that Chuck could fix my front door so quickly and easily.  (The previous handyman -- Brother's -- had charged me as much and merely gouged out the latch hole a bit which didn't solve the problem.)   He did the work last month, but I waited until now to write the review because I wanted to be sure that he had fixed the real problem well.  Sure enough, the door works like it is brand new.

Chuck diagnosed the problem and described in clearly to me.  He then went an extra mile to make sure I got exactly the right replacement door part.  I went from dreading the next house repair to looking forward to getting any repairs I need fixed by Chuck.  He found the real problem, fixed it beautifully, and charged a surprisingly reasonably amount.  I highly recommend his work.

Thank you, YELP, for guiding me to this resource!

Chuck is a great guy who really cares about his clients.  I called for a problem that my tenants were having with an electrical outlet.  He advised on testing to do to see if the problem could be resolved without a visit.  I knew then that I could trust him.  He talked me through all of the possibilities and explained everything clearly and succinctly.  Within 2 hours, he made his way to my home and addressed the problem.  Follow-up text, call, and detailed invoice within 1 hour of the visit.  So easy. I will use All Systems Home Service again in a heartbeat!  Thank you, Chuck!

working with Chuck was a delight.
I hired Chuck to complete a job left in the middle by a stupid company that was recommended by my insurance agent.

Chuck came in and finished the job professionally and was very respectful. he is also a man of his word, he initially estimated the work to be completed in 2 days but when we got into it, it actually took him an extra day and he did not charge me extra, what a professional.

I would certainly recommend Chuck's work to all the Yelp users.

I texted to get help on an electrical issue and he responded very quickly.  While he could not help me himself, he was willing to contact his backup electrician to set something up for me.  I ended up having another electrician who was able to come, but I appreciated Chuck's willingness to help very much.  A+ attitude and service.  I will certainly call him in the future for needs that arise.

I recently had a section of my fence fall apart, and after searching a week for someone to come (lots of left messages - no responses) - I contacted Chuck at All Systems Home Service. I texted Chuck on Monday, got a response on Tuesday, and he came by on Wednesday morning to look at the fence. On Wednesday afternoon, he sent me a quote for labor and materials (recommended using redwood) and then completed the job on Thursday. He was a little bit late on Thursday, but he communicated that to me, so that is fine.  The fixed 6 foot portion of the fence looks great!  Thank you!

I had a simple issue (changing light switch) where I started the job, realized that I wasn't sure how to finish, and decided to call someone to do it instead.  I felt sheepish that I couldn't even do a simple job like this, but Chuck made me feel at ease and explained what was going on.  He was friendly, professional, and completely met my expectations.  He's worked in the tech industry and I appreciated the real-time email invoice.

Very disappointing. I contacted him two weeks ago, and he was supposed to come by to give me a quote. At least 5 or six texts and 3 phone calls were made, and he still has not showed up for a quote. If you do not want to do a job, just say so, do not lead people on for weeks. This is just unprofessional and extremely frustrating.

Called twice and left a message within a week, no call back from Chuck.  Two weeks later, I decided to give him another chance and called, Chuck answered the phone and we discuss the project I needed him to do.  He gave me a quote for installation of a dishwasher and I said ok let's do it.  I asked when can he come by, he told me he'll call me back when he checks his schedule on his computer.  NEVER heard back from him, that was two weeks ago.  I already gave up on him the next day, got on Taskrabbit and had someone come by to do the job within the same day.

Very happy with the service and quality of Chuck's work. Wife and I contracted Chuck to have the side garage door and water heater doors replaced. Chuck was very meticulous about what needs to be fixed and how he was going to do it. He also helped fix the water heater, which save me a significant amount of money, if I called a plumber out to look at it. There were a couple of things I wanted to fix on my own and Chucked explained what I needed to do and how to fix it.

Chuck is quite loaded with work, so he might not be able to your job right away, but he will tell you in advance how long the wait is. Definitely worth the wait, so don't go with anyone else.

Based on another yelp review, I called Chuck because my smoke alarm was chirping.  It's in a very high area at the top of some stairs, and not easy to get too.

Even though it was Saturday, Chuck returned my call quickly, and came out that morning.  There were a few mysteries, but Chuck used his smartphone to get the user's manual from the manufacturer.  He even sent me a copy of a photo he took inside the alarm so that I would have the mfg date and the proper model number, and sent me the PDF file of the user guide.

I'm very happy with his work, and would hire him again and recommend him to others.

I needed two new deadbolts installed on two different doors. Got a same day appointment too. Chuck arrived and was very professional and friendly. He did a great job and even read the directions to ensure an accurate one. I will certainly call him again when I have small projects that need to be done.

Unfortunately, never had a chance to experience Chuck's 'great service' based on all the reviews. I simply couldn't get hold of the man. I called and sent text, he texted me back two days later asking if we still need help. I responded to text saying that we still need help with our projects and called him few times specifically asking to call me back even if he's too booked just to let me know. Never heard from him... very unprofessional and disappointing.

Chuck is a GREAT handyman!  After calling several contractors and handymen in the area, Chuck was the only one who knew how to do the job right, and do the job right away (it was a bit of an emergency).  Long story short, some contractors accidentally cut the internet cord at my office.  Chuck re-wired my internet cord from downstairs to upstairs and even worked closely with AT&T to make sure it was working before he left.  He was able to do the job quickly and very professionally.  In addition, he's a really nice guy :)  I definitely plan to hire Chuck in the future!

We have an old house and unfortunately the outlets in our kitchen had pretty much fried out over the weekend.  Luckily I called Chuck and he was able to swing by and help us out in our mini emergency.  He was very diligent and thorough in his work.  Also he explained the why's of what had happened.  Which I felt was helpful so we can do our best to avoid future emergencies.  When we plan to do future electrical work and possibly other work, I plan to contact Chuck first.  Thanks again Chuck!

Finally, we found a trustworthy handyman that is so reliable.  We have a rental property we were getting ready to renters in a very small window.   I found Chuck through Yelp and found that he had great reviews.  I called and found Chuck to be very professional and base don my description of the problem, he was able to assess my problem.  I felt so relieved that he knows what he is diong.    He even took the time to call before the appt and explained exactly what he will do and what the expectations will be as a result of his visit.  He estimated about 2 hours of work which was much shorter.  He was focused and didn't get distracted like my previous nightmares with handyman experience.   The work he did in our place was puddle of water that always gets back into our dishwasher.  It started to get really bad odors and awful stink throughout the house.   Turns out our previous contractor that installed our new kitchen sink and dishwasher, never bothered to add air-gap therefore water will back into the dishwasher.  I was 100% satisfied with his work and didn't even break the bank...

If you were like me, scared to hire handyman and have been dissatisfied, try Chuck - I guarantee you will know what I'm talking about...

Whatever your renovation project is, give Chuck a call. You will not be disappointed. He did such an excellent job with our power room --- removing the old sink and toilet, laying the tiles, putting in the baseboard, painting the walls, installing the new sink vanity, etc.

He stood out in every aspect we cared about as a customer:

- price: we called a lot of handyman services and plumbers with good reviews on Yelp, he offered the most competitive rates.

- courtesy: he is by far the most polite and courteous contractor we have dealt with. Very approachable, very accommodating, works on flexible hours that fit our need.

- professionalism: did I mention he did an excellent job for us? He offered us suggestions that are best for our situation, and doesn't cut corners. He also does a meticulous cleaning job as well after he finishes the project.

Chuck, thanks very much for your update, follow-up phone call, and follow-up message to make sure I got your voicemail.  You sounded very nice and sincere.

Someone did come by and helped me replace the dishwasher.  Thanks for checking.

I really appreciate your honesty and all the follow-up.  Now, I wished
you really did come by to help me. :-)

The next time I need help with something, I will certainly give you a call Chuck.  Thanks again.

I contacted Chuck because we needed to run about 60 feet of cat5 cable from our home-office to our living room. Chuck introduced me to Jeff Moreland. Jeff was on-time, courteous, professional, friendly; an all-around good guy.

We hit a snag early in the work that neither of us foresaw -- the cable couldn't be run through the attic. We had already sunk two hours into the job when we discovered this. Jeff was a trooper, though -- he stuck with it, trying several different strategies before he finally found one that worked. He was cheerful the whole time, even though the attic was hot, the work was hard and we were both a little frustrated at how the real world is sometimes a little less than ideal. In the end Jeff's ingenuity and clever skill got the job done.

I'm very happy with Jeff's help. I'd recommend him any day of the week.

Temco Logistics damaged the external door frame when they delivered a refrigerator 12/2/2015. My garage door frame was also damaged from a separate incident; he fixed both perfectly and took the time to do a meticulously good job (several trips) to make sure both areas were even better than when I bought my townhouse.  I also had a light that had gone out in the kitchen and for some reason, could not put a new light back in. He fixed that problem no charge and took the time to explain what had gone wrong. I recommend Chuck highly for his attention to detail and extensive knowledge, and kindness. I will definitely contact him again for future repairs. Thank you!

I had two issues that hit me recently.  The ice-maker for my fridge and my faucet stopped working.  I gave Chuck a call and we were able to quickly setup an appointment to get him in and look at the issue.  He was quick and professional, came in diagnosed my problem told me what needed to be done and went about fixing the issue.

A great experience overall and would definitely call on him again if I need help in the future.

It was a delightful experience hiring Chuck to do the work for my rental.    I have been a homeowner and owner of this rental for many years. I  have hired many contractors and handymen throughout the years.  Certainly Chuck ranks among the highest among handymen that I know because he is good at so many areas and does his work in a meticulous and thorough manner.    Furthermore, Chuck is very knowledgeable about internet and therefore communication with him is very easy.

The works that needed to be done are:
1. Double oven and dishwasher replaced and
2. Other small repairs include replacing all the fixtures in the shower, as well as two-way switches for the Kitchen and laundry room.

My rental house is not new and he was able to advise me the need to replace some new faucet for the dishwasher.   With double oven, he pointed out, due to Aluminum wiring in the house, additional connectors are needed.  I am an engineer by training and could tell what is necessary and therefore appreciate his expertise in both electricity and plumbing to save me a lot of trouble in the future.  

There is no question whenever I have work to do, he would be the first one to call.

Chuck is the best. Incredible customer service. Early this morning, my smoke alarm started chirping, and of course it is impossibly high for me to reach even with my step stool. I also have a son with Fragile X Syndrome/Autism who can't tolerate noise. Needless to say, our house was not happy this morning. I found Chuck on Yelp. Called him this morning, he came right over, very professional, and took care of the battery change. . I was still able to leave for work on time! Highly recommend.

A smoke alarm in my house started chirping and I needed to replace it with a new one before it drove everyone in the house crazy.  Problem was, it was about 15 ft up on the ceiling, and I didn't have a ladder to go up that high.  I searched for a handyman in Yelp, but most either didn't have time, ladder, or were just not interested in such a small job.  Luckily, I saw the reviews for All Systems Home Service.  I called the number and got hold of Chuck.  He was very courteous over the phone and agreed to do the job after I explained to him the situation.  He came to the house on time, replaced the smoke alarm and made sure everything was working before he left.  Chuck is very friendly guy.  Next time, I have other jobs or repairs around the house, he'll be the first person that I will call.

Guy was great, had some minor issues, he told me what to buy and talked me through it. Never met him face to face but, not many people would do that

Yesterday I called All Systems Home Service and spoke with Chuck. I needed some help to move things around my garage. I found him by googling under ' Handy man Santa Clara'. After consulting with Chuck, he advised me and referred me to another place where they will do the job for much lesser amount. I called the place he referred me to and I was very happy. He was very helpful. Even though, he was able to do the job for a little higher amount, he still referred me to another place to save me few dollars! That was really very nice of him.I would certainly call him back for other repairs around my home. Thanks Chuck!!!

Chuck was quick to respond and fixed a couple of situations - plumbing and electrical - that had stumped someone else. He's also super reasonable.

I just called Chuck to have him look at my kitchen sink and garbage disposal, which were backed up. Rather than coming over and charging me $75 for a visit, he simply walked me through some steps to diagnose and fix the problem -- all over the phone and free of charge.  Not only was he super helpful and responsive, he clearly has ton of  expertise. Thank you, Chuck! You just made my weekend :)

We had several unrelated electrical problems including malfunctioning sprinklers and humidifier, and a leaky outside faucet. Jeff performed outstanding work on all items including troubleshooting. He was on time, courteous and professional. His previous managerial experience does show through. We'll contact ASHS again for future handiwork.

I had called several electricians to no avail.  Then I switched to looking for a handyman and left a couple of messages, one of which was for Chuck.  Some never called back.  Some were going to charge a ridiculous amount for what I knew was a relatively simple fix.  Then Chuck called back and I'm so glad he did. He came by at the end of what was a long day for him, fixed the problem completely (putting in a new garbage disposal switch), with a very reasonable price and a great sense of humor.  He took a look at another issue I had, and while he couldn't fix it because I had messed it all up, he gave me all the info I need to buy the material which he will then come back and install.  I feel lucky that I found him and recommend him highly.

I called Chuck at All Systems Home Service after reading the good reviews on Yelp.  Great experience.  Chuck  talked me through a fuse box/electrical issue over the phone and promised to take care of a leaky faucet and noisy fan too.  He was most helpful.

Chuck came and replaced two sets of closet doors today. I was very pleased with his job. Not only he made sure everything was installed well, he also gave me some advice on how to adjust it if we need to do it eventually. He cleaned the site. He is a very nice person to work with and the price is reasonable. I will definitely call him in the future when some needs arise.

I found Chuck here on Yelp when I needed my rain gutters cleaned.  I sent out several requests for quotes and he was the only one that responded.  And he responded quickly!!  I had a good gut feeling after talking to him, and felt his prices were very reasonable.  We agreed he would do the work.  I warned him that the job might be a bit difficult as I have a 2 story house in a mobile home park, but he wasn't phased at all. Once he saw the house I think he was a little surprised at how deceptively tall it was, but he didn't walk away!  I would fully understand if he had!  But he had made a commitment and was going to stick to it, and found a way to make it work.  He made sure to keep me informed, was very safety conscious, thorough, and incredibly fair with his end price considering the challenges he faced. That sort of integrity is quite rare I think, and it certainly reinforced my decision to have him do the work!

I've got Chuck on my speed dial now.  I've contacted him several times regarding other projects around the house.  He's always responded quickly and has been incredibly helpful!  I prefer to be self sufficient, but I really lucked out finding someone like Chuck to help me with projects I'm not equipped to handle on my own.  His integrity and work ethic speak volumes, but as a bonus he's also fun to talk to!  I have absolutely no problem recommending him.  If you're reading this you're most likely looking for someone to help you out, and I sincerely encourage you to call Chuck!!!
