It was great working with Karl. After removing a fireplace that left a significant hole in the ceiling and wall, he handled the drywall, patching, and painting beautifully. He’s responsive, detail-oriented, and clearly cares about the quality of his work. His pricing was fair and transparent, and I’d gladly work with him again.
Details: A full day (Complex or long-term projects) • Painting • Kitchen • Walls (inside) • Home

Karl spent the day installing a new kitchen faucet, an Instahot + water filter unit, dimmers in multiple rooms, relocating electrical outlets & ethernet ports to hang tvs on two walls etc etc etc. He was great to work with, very thoughtful about finding the best solutions. It all worked out perfectly and it was so stress free. Great communication and Karl arrived exactly on time.
Thank you so much. I will be in touch again for sure!

I’m so glad to have found Karl! He’s helped with quite a few projects I had around the house (installing a security system, touch up painting throughout the house, fixed a leaking shower unit I thought we would have to completely redo with a $0.50 piece, changed our lights to LED, patched up holes in our wood floors, etc). I can come to him with any problem or idea large or small and it’s willing and ready to help. We plan to work with him for a long time!
Details: Less than 2 hours (Simple tasks) • Installation • Deck or porch • Walls (outside) • Home
