We are grateful for Chris and his expertise. He is personable, skilled, respects our home, and the epitome of professionalism. I like to understand the work being done and he patiently explained what he was doing and why. His charges for labor and supplies was very reasonable. We would not hesitate to recommend him.

I called Chris expecting to not get a response, let alone an appointment for the work, for a couple days. I know that Chris is a pretty busy plumber. He called me back right away and I had an appointment for the work later that same day. Wow. The work required the dry wall to be cut into and removed. He cut clean holes, saving the drywall pieces to be replaced after the repair. His repair was very detailed oriented. He even worried about and took care of the interior of the adjacent wall. That is, the moisture that could cause mold.

WAAAAY too expensive. Also, told us the tree was unwell and needed to be removed. The tree did fantastic this last summer. We had someone remove the dead branches and it looks great.
Description of Work
We did not have them do the work. They were "removal happy" and exceptionally expensive when compared to other companies we have used for similar size trees.

He did an excellent job. The cost and time it took was more than originally stated. Other than that, I was very happy with the job he did. I would certainly recommend him to anyone. He was very professional and left no signs that he has been in my home, other than the repaired floor.

Chris does a fantastic job. He double checks his work. If the previous toilet was not completely correct, he corrected defects before installing the new toilet. He was careful taking the old toilet out so it can be recycled. Minimal mess to the bathroom. New toilet is solid, works well, good pressure and looks good. I asked him to also look at the other toilet. the second toilet was not on the original estimate. He had the supplies in his car to fix the second toilet and graciously fixed it, too. Cost of parts was equal to what I would have paid at Lowes. Chris has never let me down. This is the third job he has donw for me. I am very happy with his professionalism and knowledge.

Both these jobs were complicated by the age and construction of the building. Long story short - Chris did a great job, worked conscientiously, and for a very fair price! I will certainly call him for most every kind of work around the house in the future. Pleased and thankful !

I had a very mysterious problem with my guest shower in that the water would only get luke warm. The water The hot water worked everywhere else in the home except for the shower. First of all, Chris was able to identify one possibility for problem by phone, which impressed me because it was such a strange thing. He was able to schedule me within a week and arrived promptly. When he looked at the situation he discovered that rather than the problem he had originally anticipated it was, it was only a matter of replacing a small part. Fortunately, it was not the other problem that would have required going through the wall, etc. I include this information because it is evidence that Chris is an honest, trustworthy, and highly competent craftsman who could have taken me for a ride, but did not. The job was also completed for less than $100.00. I feel this is a small price to pay for a nice hot shower for my family and guests. It is always comforting to know you have someone you can depend on to do an excellent job in the most cost effective way. I have future plans to upgrade my bathrooms and will certainly call on Chris for this project.

Chris does beautiful work and meticulous cleanup. Simply 'good enough' is not in his standards. He is also very pleasant. I have had him working before, on a deck, on plumbing, and on a gate. All were not just fixed, but improved.

After we had to re-schedule due to our own time conflict, Chris was on-time and ready. He went right to work, after introducing himself, and he did an excellent job on two small projects in a short period. His bill was detailed and his price was more than fair. When asked about some related kitchen and plumbing issues, Chris knew right away what we were dealing with and suggested a couple of very practical approaches to taking care of the problems. We found him professional, knowledgeable and excellent at explaining what to do. We've already committed to use Chris on our kitchen re-model this fall. He is practical, organized and has good assessment skills.
Description of Work
Chris installed a new faucet fixture in the mud sink. He had some troublle getting off the existing sink, as we knew he would. Yet, he had seen the issue before and knew what to do. He also fixed a leaky faucet at the kitchen sink. While we had received spare O ring and rubber gasket, Chris knew how to best prevent the leak from occurring in the future. He also was able to take apart the faucet base correctly, as we'd been unable to loosen it. Overall, Chris was excellent. We've already talked with him about another, bigger job coming up this fall in our kitchen re-model. So glad Chris can remove the old cabinets - will save time and money.

The job above was pretty simple and now that I've seen him do it I can do it myselt. I could have done it myself and figured it out but wanted a quality lock and matching and I didn't know how involved it was. Chris has also done much more complicated projects for us like rebuilding a broken pocket door and repairing a faulty shower valve I couldn't figure out how to get into and patching a leaky roof (harder than it sounds to find source of leak) and associated drywall with texture matching and repairing a collapsing fence. He is slowing correcting all the builder mistakes and shortcuts in this 2008 spec home and I have never been disappointed. He is always very reasonably priced. He does not take on work he is not competent taking on. He will refer to others when a specialist is needed and will tell you he doesn't know who to call when he doesn't have particular confidence in a specific person in a given trade. He does not mark up the cost of parts. I highly recommend him. But don't expect him to come to your place right away. He is usually scheduled a few days to a week out.

Initially, we were very pleased with the work and felt that Chris was kind and professional. Chris specifically verbalized some concern with several boards used to repair the driveway as they would not lay flat. He drove some nails into the boards to flatten them which seemed to be a good fix. Chris stated that he would be back later in the year to check on this particular repair. My mom didn't hear from him this summer so she reached out Chris to ask him to come by as he had indicated he would. She was not able to reach him but left a voice mail. In a series of back and forth voice mails, Chris was rude and unprofessional with my mom first stating that the boards were warped because and quot;someone drove a nail into them.and quot; This action having been done by Chris himself. Then furthermore saying to my mom what did she expect for using old warped boards. In fact, at the time of the repair, my mom used recycled wood from a neighbors remodel which Chris highly praised for not and quot;adding to the landfill.and quot; The only conclusion we are left with is Chris did not want to come back to complete any additional work and instead of simply saying as such, he opted to be unprofessional and rude.

This man is the best handyman I have ever done business with. I am a doctor and my standards are high. Chris never fails to impress me with his professionalism, his expertise, and his pleasant attitude. His prices are fair, but you must pay w/ cash or check only.

Chris tracked down an electrical problem in my tenant's back yard and repaired it. As always, Chris did a through job and left a detailed description of his work for me to review when I came home. Further, he phoned me that same night to explain the rather complicated work he had performed!

Chris is awesome. He does a wonderful job, he is a perfectionist, he does everything top notch, and will do everything in a manner that is least expensive tot the home owner. I enjoy working with him. I have worked with him for years. He does everything. No job is too small, and depending on how busy he is, no job is too hard. Years ago, he used to come and fix my lawn mower. Chris does everything, and if you need just a small job like plumbing, I have called him for laying the plastic for crawl spaces, remodeling, and fixing lights. He has done everything. He is very good.

I tried contacting him for a fence bid several months ago and never received a call back. If he worked out according to the good reviews he got, I may have hired him for other jobs too, but this time around, he did not call me back either. It is been nearly 10 days since my last message and nada. Seems like this guy doesn't really need the business, but it's a matter of common courtesy -especially if you are going to be listed on Angie's list - to at least make contact with your customer.

Chris's work is without parallel in the community. He reviewed each project and explained the work required to complete each project. His billing was exact. He worked through the day non-stop. He provided a detailed list of the work performed, the time involved and he attached receipts for all parts and materials. I will hire Chris again and, in fact, am waiting for the the next available time slot to complete other needed projects in my home. Thank you to Chris and to Angie's list!
Description of Work
Chris worked from morning to 9PM without stop and completed a number of major projects in my home with proficiency and profesionalism. Toilet repair (which I had attempted three times previously); Attic fan replacement and repair of work left behind by other contractors; Sprinkler repair and replacement of operating system; stain and instalation of interior trim.

In addition to explaining the process as he worked Chris gave me very helpful advice on how to remove an unwanted water softener unit and told me how to determine whether the old plumbing in my crawl space needed to be replaced. While he was purchasing the water heater I went under the house and examined the plumbing. It's good. That was a problem that my home inspector identified, but apparently didn't understand with the same detail as Chris. That was a relief and added a lot of value to the water heater replacement without any additional charge. After he installed and tested the water heater Chris sealed the flue joints with metallic tape as an upgrade to reduce the potential for carbon monoxide leaks. Finally, he showed me all of the places vulnerable to leaks in the days after installation, so I could monitor the situation. Would I use Chris again? The real question is whether I would use anyone else. I wouldn't unless Chris was unavailable for an emergency.
Description of Work
Chris led me through the diagnosis of a water heater leak on the phone and discussed the options. I asked him for a ballpark estimate on the phone. The final invoice was very close to his preliminary estimate. When he arrived at my house Chris confirmed that the leak was in the tank after reviewing possible problems with connections that would be less expensive. He initially planned to purchase a replacement water heater at Home Depot, but he discovered that a higher quality unit was available at Grover's at a lower price and drove the extra distance to get it.

I requested he replace the sprinkler valves rather than repairing the old valves because they were very old and starting to leak water even when they were turned off. Also the sprinkler box had many holes in it and I was worried that dirt would enter the valve chamber. He prepared a new valve manifold and repaired the valve box by cutting some flexible plastic and placing it over the unused holes in the box and packed dirt next to the plastic to hold it in place. This solved the problem very nicely. He is very sensitive to cost and always looks for the simplest, yet adequate solution. He is pleasant to work with and overall he does an excellent job and left the work area very clean.

Chris arrived promptly, explained how he would proceed with the work, was very efficient and pleasant, and did a superior job. He has higher standards than most, in our experience, yet is pragmatic and doesn't need any special fittings or equipment. He arrived at 11 a.m. and finished up at 2:30 p.m.
Description of Work
Chris cleaned out 7 gutters + 1 second story gutter, and 6 downspouts. He repaired and cleaned out the plumbing on the garage sink and dog wash station, swept and raked up, leaving everything clean and tidy.

I have used Chris Wright many times for many diverse tasks, such as carpentry, plumbing, rain gutter cleaning, electrical, and other household repairs. All were done with great attention to detail, and complete cleanup afterward. Appointments were for definite times of the day, rather than the other companies that are vague about the time, saying and quot;between 1 to 5 pmand quot; or and quot;8 to 12 noonand quot;. If there was a rare error, he would immediately return ASAP to correct it. A super trustworthy guy who really stands behind his quality work. His receipts show a detailed report of the work done.
