We had a wonderful experience. Chris tackled some complex home projects we needed to get done with enthusiasm and ingenuity. The quality of his work was superb. I would highly recommend him, and we plan to continue to use him for future projects!

Chris is highly organized, gave accurate time estimates, explains things as though the customer has a brain, cheerfully answers questions, shows up with every tool, including clean up tools, does not make a mess but sweeps up anyway, and is on time. He understood my priorities right away. Plus the finished work looks amazing. I feel so much better now, in part b/c i had been procrastinating on this. No need to worry with this carpenter.

I hired this contractor for a pergola rebuild due to water damage. Chris the owner is a finish carpenter and does extremely high quality work. Came out on a Saturday started the job on Monday and it extended for nearly 2 weeks. He was very meticulous in his planning and execution. Also had to work in harmony with a roofer handling that part of the repair. A challenge occurred in accommodating the structure and attaching the gutters and Chris came up with the ideal plan. Chris worked with a helper who was qualified as well for the work delegated to him. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and certainly would hire Chris again as appropriate.

The job was to build about 300 linear feet of book shelves in a smallish space. The result was a superb work of art, carefully engineered and way beyond expectations. The work was done quickly, and cleanly. I found the pricing extremely reasonable and will use them again if I can.

The work is wonderful. Although it is a little pricy, I guess you pay for what you get. Chris Nelson, who is the lead of this small project, is very nice and easy to cooperate with.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
