I'm Charles Price, founder of CJRC Enterprises, bringing nearly 10 years of hands-on home improvement experience to every project. As a trained home inspector and exterior remodeling consultant, I bring a detail-oriented eye to everything from window and door installation to custom carpentry, trim work, and full handyman services — TV mounting, shelving, closet conversions, and more.\n\nOver 6 years in business, my team and I have earned a 5.0 rating across every review, built on clear communication, on-time delivery, and respect for your home and schedule. Whether it's a single replacement egress window, a full 14-window replacement, or a custom-built mudroom nook, I treat every job — big or small — with the same level of professionalism.\n\nI believe trust is earned before the first nail goes in. That's why I walk every client through the scope, timeline, and cost upfront, and make sure you're comfortable with the process from consultation to final walkthrough.

"Had a great experience with this company. Rolando and his crew installed a custom fireplace and renovated my backyard. Communication was great from start to finish of the project and always had a clean work area which is a big plus since I have young children."

"Quality windows were installed in my garage. Contractor matched the exterior painting perfectly. He fixed the bannister and wood planks on my deck using like kind and quality materials. He also secured a soffit where wasps had entry to my attic. He tiled areas in my lower level that required new tile after a drain tile contractor did their work. In addition to tile work that needed to be done he replaced the base boards. His work was professional and he went to all lengths to perform quality work with quality product. This work was done over the course of a few months, approximately, March through July 2019"

"Carlos was absolutely amazing! Not only did he do a great job cutting my lawn, he also listened to some of my other landscaping concerns/wishes, came up w/ a plan, and worked w/ me to get it all figured out financially. He’s as good as it gets, and doesn’t cost as much as other reputable landscape companies. Thanks again, Carlos!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

A cathedral ceiling is a type of vaulted ceiling with a symmetrical peak that follows the pitch of the roof. They typically peak at a height of 12 to 20 feet, although they can go higher. This dramatic height and steep peak mimic the architecture of many historic cathedrals, which is where they got their name.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.

Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.

That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.
