[This is Part One of two reviews. See Part Two above] We called Chuck early in October 2013 and asked if he could install railings on our two small porches (about 3 ft. long). We explained that the railings come in kit form and that we were going to by them at Menard's. He said that he would check them out at Menard's and get back to us . He stopped over to give us an estimate and said we should go ahead and buy the kits. He told us he would be happy (his word) to install them and to call him when we had the kits. We bought the kits and called him. He explained that he had some personal issues (which we understood) and could not give us an installation date at that time. We finally arranged an installation date of Saturday Nov. 9th. Chuck arrived promptly and went to work. As the project progressed, he ran into some issues with the kit that he was not expecting. He was very patient and managed to work around the issues. It was obvious that the project was taking longer than Chuck had expected. At the end of the day he had not finished the first set of railings. He said that he would come back the next day, a Sunday, to finish the first set. We told him that he shouldn't have to work on a Sunday, but he insisted. He returned the next day and finished the first porch. At that time we asked when he could return to finish the second porch. Chuck told us that he receives a lot of calls due to his positive ratings on Angie's List, and admitted that had taken on too many jobs. He said he would be back "in a couple of days". About a week later we left a message on his answering machine. There was no reply. We called again a few days ago and he said "I will get there when I can". It is now the 3rd week of November. Temperatures are dropping. The holidays are just around the corner. We hope to see Chuck soon. I will update this review in few weeks to let you know how this ends. *************************************************************************************************************************************************** It is now March 1, 2014. We didn't expect Chuck to do any work over the winter, but we did think that we would hear from him with an explanation. That didn't happen. We will contact him again in a few weeks when the weather improves. Stay tuned..............

They sat down with us a number of times to help us figure out what we wanted done. They gave us a number of estimates based on different deck designs. They were just so considerate in working with us over a period of time. Very patient and professional. I was very impressed.

Owner returned my phone calls and emails promptly and worked us into his already busy schedule. The quote was very competitive and there were no extra costs or surprises. We were very happy with the professional mannerism of the workers when they showed up to do the job, and they took pride in their workmanship. I would highly recommend using Woodrite Carpentry, and I will definitely call them if we need future work done

Gary was somewhat hard to contact initially. Once he started, it went quick and satisfactorily. Only c**** was an added cost for an unforseeable change. The added cost was a bit higher than we thought, but negotiated to make it more palatable. Good overall carpentry and painting.

HOFFER'S CARPENTRY & DESIGN
Jeff is a very nice guy. BUT, timeliness is not a strength. After I found the type of railing I wanted installed, I called Jeff to get a quote for the install. He came out, looked at the job, told me exactly what to order, and gave me a verbal quote over the phone. 9 months and dozens of calls later, he finally came out and installed the railing. He wound up being short one post - I had ordered exactly what he'd told me to order. His original quote was $1400. His final bill was $1900. Because I made the mistake of not requesting a written quote, I had to eat the $500

Fantastic company. Called Ben during the day and had a quote in my hand that evening. The prep work they do (power washing, scraping & patching) is the best I have ever seen. Quality work. Courteous and hard working employees. Done in a little over 2 1/2 days. Great job TPC. Would recommend them to everyone

John came over, looked at the project, and gave us a price. We agreed that he could start the next day. John showed up right on time. The railings were a little more complex than we thought, but John was able to make some adjustments and get the job done. We had to delay the project because a few extra parts had to be ordered. When the parts came in, John was right back on the job. The shutter installation went very smoothly. We would use John again

They were responsive and timely. They were very respectful about being inside my house. They were also very professional about cleaning up their mess.

John was great - we had many issues coordinating with other vendors. This was an urgent service as dictated by our homeowners insurance; I called other providers who could not help turn the project around as quickly as we needed it done. We called John's office on a Sunday, spoke to somebody and he came out on a Monday. Less than a week later, despite freezing temperatures, the railing was installed and looks great! John coordinated all of this while we were out of town, and emailed pictures that evening! Hoping we have another project Kirch can help with in the future

Mr Handyman of Waukesha & North Milwaukee County
We met Marty on April 13, 2010. We went over everything we needed done. Porch railings on bottom, some window sills covered in aluminum, garage door trim and rubber seal replaced.We told him we would like it done by end of April. He said ok. We waited for some time, we called him, he called us, eventually he said after a couple of weeks, that he couldn't find railings that long and will see if he can order them. By the end of April, or so later, after coming to the house a total or 2 or 3 times to meet, measure job, he said he ordered the porch railings. We had originally set up 2 or 3 tentative times to do the job. As of today, he called and said on this Monday, he will come tomorrow, Tuesday to do the job. I said ok. Then a few hours later on Monday, he left a message and said he can't do the job and to get somebody else. He said something feels "wrong" and he doesn't feel he can do a good job for us! This is almost 6 weeks later after first meeting him!! I tried to call him and l left a message stating that that was horrible what he did to us and unprofessional and told him of course I will make a report on Angies List

A FILLINGER INC
The handrail broke along my stairway and could not be repaired. The railing is old, very long, curves in three places, has rounded ends, and is not available in the same width. Fillinger was able to custom build a new one using stronger wood. They also built a shorter straight handrail with rounded ends for the adjoining stairs. They estimated it would take seven hours but it took only five and 1/4 hours which decreased my bill. The clerk politely and patiently helped me to chose the wood and hardware. They were very careful in securing it in my car when I picked it up. I highly recommend using Fillinger for mill work

I hired them to install baseboards, 3 new doors and new handrails and spindles for a staircase as part of a basement remodel we were finishing. Greg and his team were very prompt, responsive and professional. The job went smoothly and was finished up quickly. I would highly recommend their services and plan to use them again in the future

QUALITY HOME INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS
We gave Jeff a picture of the type of railing we liked and his design exceeded our expectations. Nice cedar rails with copper post caps. Did all in one day (in lousy weather). Also designed and built 6 x 6 cedar garbage can corral to hide our cans & provide storage. Designed it so 2 sides open w/ gate. Squeaky, loose steps to basement now seem like new. Very prompt in completing work, appreciated since he charges by the hour ($35) + materials. Railings have recd many compliments from neighbors. Few minor material glitches which Jeff corrected promptly. Do recommend you get materials estimate before commencing work. We plan on using Jeff for a number of other projects in and around our house

A crew of 3 or 4 men worked on the house for three days from 8:30am until 4:30pm . Each day the area was cleaned up and all equipment stored under cover. Many hours were spent scraping the exterior of crack and peeling paint..The house was carefully masked to prevent overspray, and caulked where the original builder left gaps. The quality of work I felt was outstanding and I would not hesitate to hire them again. The crew was also very friendly and very accommodating

Joe Wilde Co was very responsive. They were able to come out the next business day. They repaired my garage door quickly and completely. They also did an inspection of the door and lubrication of the door and opener. Plus, gave me advice on extra steps I could take to keep the garage door in good repair. I originally bought my Garage Door and opener from Joe Wilde Co about 12 years ago and used their repair services in the past. They are a responsive, professional, quality and customer focus company

They did a really great job. The price was right. The quality and scope of the work that they did was fantastic. They are an “A” in the perspective of price and quality. I have recommended them to a couple of people. They are really good. However they were not always responsive but they did a really good job. So they could improve on being responsive

Jeff was on time and worked on site until the job was finished. Jeff coordinated with sub contractors electrical and plumbing which can kept the job moving forward. Jeff came in on budget. His quality is second to none. Very impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail.

What do customers in Milwaukee say about Install Porch Railings?
INITIALLY THE WORK LOOKED GOOD AND THE OWNER WAS POLITE AND PROMPT. HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETE, THE BOARDS STARTING WARPING AND PULLING AWAY FROM THE POSTS DUE TO AN INADEQUATE NUMBER OF SCREWS USED. THE RAILING LOOKED TERRIBLE. WE ENDED UP RE-DOING SOME OF THE WORK TO OUR SATISFACTION.
