I called Charles to come over and give an estimate for several jobs to include fixing fence posts, build a fence around pool and a fence in front of some pillars. I set up the appointment and when it came time for appointment he never showed. I called 30 minutes after he was late and Charles said he forgot. Gave another chance and he showed up at 3pm. He did measurements and said he would get estimate to me within 24 hours via email. Never got it and left him a text. Charles texted back that he wasn't going to do the job and was to busy. Seems like Charles just doesn't like to be held accountable and was concerned he would have to be professional and on time for this job and decided it would be too much for him to handle. Charles is the person that has slipped through the cracks of Angie's list. If he wasn't going to do job and too "busy" then he should have said so on the phone before coming over for estimate.

Charles is reliable, friendly and does good work. Over the past few years, we've used his services for fence work, sprinkler system repairs, dry rot problems, painting, plumbing, installing a new antenna in my car, installing garbage disposal, fixing vent motor over stove, yard work and other misc. problems. He has done work for several of our neighbors and they were satisfied as well.
Description of Work: We continue to use Charles Risley for all types of handyman work for our home and our rentals. He recently contacted me and asked if I could write a note on Angie's List regarding potential customers who left a message on his voice mail and spoke too fast. Charles could not hear the phone number and therefore he is concerned that he can't return the person's call. So if you call Charles, make sure you clearly and slowly state your name and phone number :-)

Charles is great! We couldn't use our kitchen sink, so in my voice mail I let him know that we were in a hurry to get things fixed. He called back in a timely manner, showed up for a quote the same day and performed the work the next day. We are happy with the quality of his work. He is very professional, friendly and efficient. I've already put together a list of little projects that I want to hire him for again.
Description of Work: Replaced bottom of cabinet under sink.

We had a huge storm that almost pulled the gates off their hinges. I had to wire-tie them shut until the wind and rain stopped. I called Risely Handyman and he came out the same day and fixed both gates for $50. They swing and latch better now than they did before the storm. Great Job!
Description of Work: Repaired two wooden fence gates.

Very well!
Description of Work: Charles is the best! He was prompt with his visit to review work we wanted done and once we got his bids we started right away. There were several small jobs - replacing some fence posts, installing light fixtures in closets, install a larger window in our garage and install a closet organizer. We still have more for him to do, we just have to get our prep done first :) He is a joy to have around, we love his later start time and botom line is that he does great work!

Fantastic! Came and gave the appraisal 2 hours after I called. Was on time to do work the next day. Did a perfect job. Took time to make friends with my Great Dane AND the final cost was below the bid! Definitely will call him again.

Everything went great. Charles and his helper arrived on time, got right to work, finished up and cleaned up. He also saved us a lot of money by reusing what he could, which I appreciated.
Description of Work: The fence was leaning badly. Charles replaced the posts and reassembled everything so it was perfect.

I called him and he said that he was going out of town but he would call me back when he is back in town. He never called or showed up the day he was going come. No one answered my phone call. I am very upset beacuse the leak is costing me money and I have been waiting for him to fix it.

The job was excellent. I spent a little bit over $300 for their service. The handyman did excellent work. He did it in a timely manner and everything turned out great. As a matter of fact, if he is willing to accept, we are going to use him as a handyman from here on now. We have discussed it with him. If he is willing to accept it, then that is what we are going to do.
Description of Work: Risley Handyman installed three closet systems for us about a couple of days ago.

Charles does good work and has a positive attitude. He was able to deal with some difficult renters. His prices are reasonable and we found him to be a very trustworthy person. We continue to get compliments on the beautiful fence he built for us several years ago.
Description of Work: My last report on Charles Risley was done in 2008. We have continued to use Charles Risley's services for our rentals and our own home. He's done some digging around the foundation of a house and spread rocks in that area. He cut some branches, repaired dry rot damage on a covered patio and did some painting. More recently, he came over to our house when we had a broken pipe which forced us to shut off the main water valve. Charles came in within one hour from our call to him.

I contacted Risley Handyman and spoke with Charles the owner about a problem with my fence gate. It had come off the hinges and needed repair ASAP so my Maltese could go out and do her business. I had contacted 3 other Angie's List businesses prior to calling Risley Handyman who told me the problem was too small for them to come to my home and fix. Charles was able to come out immediately and had my gate fixed within an hour of my call. Charles' appearance was neat and clean and he was very professional. Charles replaced the hinges and secured them with lag bolts; the gate works better then it did new. I will definitely use Charles' services again and refer my family and friends to him without hesitation. He is simply the best!
Description of Work: Charles, the company's owner, replaced the hinges on my fence gate.

See above.
Description of Work: He came over to see the work needed and to give me an estimate. He said he would email me the estimate that same evening. It never came. Nor did I get a phone call. Now, in fairness, it is possible that an email did not get through to me if it didn't recognize the email address. But I just searched my spam and trash and didn't find anything. He could have followed up with a phone call. His hourly rate is lower than many, but it took him a long time just to examine the work that needed to be done.

We were very pleased with Mr. Risley's work. He is dependable, honest and does good work. He has a very pleasant personality and is easy to get along with. We usually go with him to buy the supplies (redwood, paint etc) or he gives us the receipt for the supplies and we reimburse him. There is no mark-up on the supplies and we pay him for his labor. It works out really well. We found him very trustworthy.
Description of Work: Charles Risley has been doing a variety of jobs for us. The largest job was building a new Redwood fence in our backyard. He also repaired our sprinkler systems and built a raised bed for my garden. He did some inside painting and installed a new radio antenna in my car.
