Called Charlie twice regarding the open area and both times he gave me a day he would be there to finish the job and both times he has not shown. He apparently is not answering my calls anymore... BEWARE, do not pay him until you thoroughly inspect the work.

Charlie met with the contractor prior to starting the job to collate their efforts. After agreeing on the costs to do the job (which seemed very reasonable), Charlie showed up on the day and the time he promised. From the moment he arrived he was ready to work. Thoroughly focused on the job at hand, he wasted no time. Honest, Personable and Very Professional in his attitude is my assessment. After approximately 16 hours of hard labor the job was completed. I was much more than satisfied with the quality of his work. The stucco surface came close enough to matching the pre-existing one. It was evenly applied and very impressive. Without seeking compensation Charlie took it upon himself to repair several other minor discrepancies, which I was grateful for. After completing the entire job, Charlie left the work area clean and spotless. I would not hesitate to recommend Charlie's Stucco.He met all my expectations and then some. And no, Charlie is not my uncle or nephew. I like to give credit when it's due. I chose Charlie's Stucco based on the positive reviews while taking into consideration the unfair negative one, in which the reviewer did not give him the opportunity to correct what they perceived as an error. If you really want to know how some low down contractors and service personnel can be, contact me. Been there.

The repairs that Charlie did were a definite A+ ,  I would recommend Charlie's Stucco to everyone!  He not only did a fantastic job on our repair, he explained every he needed to do ahead of time, very pleasant and professional. He completed the work on time, and cleaned up so well that you would not have known we had a contractor at the house...   I highly recommend Charlies Stucco, and will not hesitate to have him come back if we ever need repairs again...  Thank You Charlie's Stucco for a job well done!!!!!!!!!

Provider canceled just prior to appointment time, saying that he was too injured to do the job.

Charlie arrived on time but that is all that went well. We had a window we were closing in and it just needed to have some blocks laid to fill in the opening then stucco the outside. Charlie brought a bunch of old blocks that were in his yard I guess. They were dirty, wet  and stained. FYI brand new blocks are only $1.25 each and he would of only needed about 12 of them. There were various size blocks so he had to break some of them to fit in the opening. Half of the blocks are not even cemented together. The workmanship is that of a 3rd grader. On the inside I have had to break some blocks so my drywall would fit, the blocks he laid bulge towards the inside about an inch. The stucco on the outside does not match well with the existing stucco, it didn't look so bad when it was wet. Now that it has dried it is quite a mess.

Charlie just seemed like he was in a hurry to get the job done and had little to no concern about his workmanship and no pride what so ever and it shows. Other contractors have walked in and laughed out loud when they see what he has done. It is fairly comical to see.


Response from Charlie's Stucco
"all i can say is that i told you i was not a block mason and you said it didn't matter as long as it was closed in. you never called to express your dissatisfaction or we could have tried to work it out,when you paid me you said you were happy that i was able to do the whole job instead of hiring two different workers which would of been more costly.i do believe it will blend in better after it is painted.....of course also depending if you match the old sears texture that is on the house.I just wish you would have contacted me first as this is the first I knew you were unhappy!"

Contacted for an estimate & he responded quickly.  He was able to repair sooner than originally thought, which was great.  He repaired stucco on both sides of the gable area & we are very pleased with his timeliness & work.

"thanks for taking the time to post this review.I never claimed to be a leak detection specialist,i tried to be honest and told you i didn't want to charge you for work and then not fix the problem as the leak was not apparent to me.you told me you had already had a roofer up there with a hose and you in the attic.i did spend the time and effort to come to your house ,climb up on the roof and try to help you with the problem,i also told you to get some more advice,for my part i charged you nothing...so why post this up??? by the way you never said how it was sealed...was it even stucco related?thx again"

Charlie is a straight-forward, no b.s. guy, who obviously knows exactly what he is doing. He came over and looked at the problem and immediately gave me an estimate. He also showed me what was causing the problem and how he would fix it. He showed up when he said he would and did a professional and beautiful job. He also gave me advice on other work that needed to be done, but it wasn't an up-sell, just good information. And his final bill was exactly the same as the estimate - again, no b.s. If you want to deal with an honest, hard-working, professional- Charlie should be your choice.

This repair was performed on a rental property.  I gave Charlie the address and the description of the area that needed to be repaired.  He gave me a call that afternoon after he had inspected the home, and described in great detail how the repair needed to be done so that it would not be something that would reappear in a few years.  Due to the design of the home, he told me that he would not be able to use conventional scaffolding to do the repair, and told me how he would get to the areas to make the repairs.  He quoted 2-days to complete the job.  I told him to go ahead with the repairs, and he scheduled it for later that week.
The repairs were completed on schedule, and I met Charlie the following morning to inspect the repairs.  The workmanship was excellent, the stucco texture was matched perfectly, and a beltline molding that he also repaired looked excellent.  He had also inspected the areas under the Tyvek covering to assure that the wood had not been compromised.  He told me not to paint the area for at least 28 days, and he had inspected the rest of the house and told me that the house needed to be painted as soon as possible, as there were hairline cracks in the stucco that if not covered by a quality paint would allow water to penetrate and cause additional and similar damage.  The house is 11 years old, and I am sure that the paint that was used on it when built was not a high quality paint, so I scheduled the house to be repainted.  It has since been painted, and you cannot tell by looking at the front of the house that the area had been repaired.  The entire area was cleaned up, and all debris and trash was removed from the property.
I found Charlie to be very reliable, professional, well experienced in the work he does, and very easy to work with.  I would not hesitate to recommend him to others for this type work.

Charlie responded immediately to my phone call. We arranged a time for him to see the chimney and give a quote. He arrived on time accessed the situation told me how long it would take how much it would cost.He agreed to start 3 days after the initial visit.
I had a conflict with the original time Charlie and I had set up. He cheerfully delayed his schedule by one day.
Charlie arrived on time, worked diligently, and completed the work in the 2 days he said it would take.
The results are great the chimney is as good as new (except for painting it) and the stucco is darn near a perfect match.
I am very pleased.

He was friendly and professional. Most of all trust worthy. I felt comfortable leaving my home open to him. He showed up when said and was never late. The job was completed in the time he said. He did a scratch coat first and the second day finished. He was able to match the texture of our existing home to give it a seamless look. He was very nice and knowledgeable. He also gave me instructions on caring for the stucco in order to make it stronger. He also was competitive in price. I would by far use him again and recommend him to any friends and family.

I found Charlie's information on Angie's List on a Sunday and gave him a call. Despite it being a weekend, he promptly returned my call the same day and said he would call me back that Tuesday when home from vacation. Charlie called back as promised and came to look at my home the same day. I let him know i was in a hurry to get the stucco work done so he performed the work the following day. As he finished with the first patch I suddenly remember there was another spot on my home which could use a repair job also. Charlie has no issues repairing that section also for only an extra $25. I followed his care instructions of lightly spraying the wall the next couple days and so far I have had no issues. Being someone that pays significant attention to detail, I can say that his work exceeded my expectations of what I thought could be done, the patch matches perfect. I was very impressed and will use Charlie again in the future.

I read the reviews of Charlie's Stucco on Angie's List and, seeing they were all positive, thought I would give him a try. He came over to the house to give us an estimate. When I asked Charlie to write the estimate for us he bristled, for whatever reason. I finally got him to jot down the number on the back of his business card. Despite feeling red flags, my wife and I decided to have Charlie do the work.
He said he would show up between 9-9:30 am on the appointed day. He came at 8:45. Not a big deal, but I had to scramble a little to adjust. He and an assistant took about two-and-a-half hours to do the work. His interpersonal skills were lacking (e.g. when I complimented his stucco work and asked him how he created the texture, Charlie responded by saying, and quot;If I tell you I would have to kill youand quot;. I thought that was a rather inappropriate tone to take with a paying client).
When Charlie was packing up to leave, I noticed he had neglected to complete an agreed-upon repair to a porch column. He had his assistant do a cursory patch that I didn't notice until later. We paid Charlie and he was off.
The following day cracks started appearing in many of the repairs Charlie did. In addition, upon further inspection, some of the other repairs were incomplete. He repaired cracked and crumbling stucco on a porch support column, but left the bottom unfinished and exposed to the elements. He also failed to stucco over plastic forms he used to repair a decorative add-on. We called Charlie a couple of days later to address our concerns and he said he would come over and correct the issues. We agreed upon a day. When that day came Charlie was a no-show. Two phone calls and a half-day later he finally showed up. He finished the incomplete work and said the cracks should be painted over to seal them. That wasn't the answer I wanted to hear, but so be it.
I did not enjoy dealing with Charlie and I was not impressed with his work, nor his work ethic. I would not personally hire him again. My suggestion would be to steer clear of this one, but that is only my personal opinion based on my two experiences with Charlie. There are other, positive, reviews of his work, so I would simply weigh all the information before making your decision.

I discovered an exterior wall was literally falling down due to unknown water damage. Called for estimates and Charlie came out promptly to look at the problem and give us an estimate. He initially was very concerned that the damage was more extensive than it appeared and was reluctant to give an estimate until he could get into the wall. Because of his promptness and professionalism, we went with him. He came out as promised and began work. The result was perfect. You cannot tell there was any damage and the wall is even stronger than it was before. Plus Charlie cleaned up after himself, which was greatly appreciated.
