Description of Work: I have a piece of trim missing from the top of my home, very high up. I called Cherco - they came out within the week and took a look, and promptly sent me a note to let me know they would not be able to fix it because of its location and the equipment required...but recommended someone who could. I really appreciated their prompt response! I would reach out to them again in the future.

Description of Work: Jack has done several things around the house for me. Most notably, he built new barn doors for my shed, finished out an unusable crawl space that is now a wonderful dog den/storage space. I sent him home with a to do list to quote. He is awesome and doesn't even blink twice at my crazy notions. He does a great job and I am very thankful for his incredible work. Thanks Jack :)

Response from Cherco Creative Construction
I have not received any contact request from this member. If the member would like to send me an email I would be happy to respond. I'm assuming she must have attempted to call. Most members have been either emailing me or contacting me thru the message center. I'm sorry you not had the experience you were expecting.

Description of Work: Quotes for the job was provided however, the owner of Cherco did not follow up as agreed upon to do the work. I found myself calling and emailing requesting a status surrounding the start of the job. I lost confidence in this service provider and would not recommend them to others on Angie's list.

We were forced to redo an entire floor of our house following a mold remediation. We called Jack Cherco on a reference for an estimate and so evaluate his vision. This was a large project for us, and we had a specific budget for the project in its entirety. Not only did Jack and his partner work within the rough time frame given, but he possessed an understanding of our needs and limits. I swear, this room looks so much better than it did before. The floor itself is a finished basement, prone to flooding and, of course, mold. Jack found us the very best materials for the very best price. He was flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about his work. Had the room been constructed initially with the materials Jack selected during the remodeling, I doubt we would have been in the situation we found ourselves prior to the remediation. And, as if to reaffirm our positive feelings following his work, months later we suffered an additional flooding problem. As he promised, neither the floors nor the walls were the least bit damaged. Contractors are difficult to work with and great contractors are incredibly rare. I continue to call upon Jack for every additional project that emerges because not only can I trust his work, but I trust his judgment, as well as his respect for his clients' needs.
Description of Work: Remodeling of an entire floor in my house. New walls, paint, installation of new floors, molding, ledges, etc.

Chose Cherco C C over other companies based on knowledge of what needed to be done and all the local codes. We live in a town that is strict with regards to the Do's and Dont's. Jack knew which permits needed to be pulled and what work was grandfathered in. It was a 6 week schedule and he was right on with the numbers and within 2% of the contract price. I heard horror stories from neighbors about other contractors. If we ever decide to sell this house and buy one that needs work, I feel confident that we will not have to shop around.
Description of Work: Turned the basement area into a finished level with a bedroom/additional TV room/and a full laundry area.

We found Jack Cherco to be very personable, professional, easy to work with, trustworthy, very neat, and very accomplished at what he did for us. In addition, we found that if the particular job has complicated aspects to it that require a more specialized professional, other than himself, Jack has built many connections and relationships with specialized contractors such as plumbers, electricians, etc., and will not hesitate to get the appropriate professional to the jobsite, or put you in contact directly with someone reputable to perform the work needed that does not fall under his own expertise. This brings added value in that he is a very important and valuable resource to any homeowner and can become your point person when emergencies occur with your home or business.
Description of Work: Re-grout and re-caulk tub with shower, and shower in master and guest bathrooms, laid vinyl flooring in both bathrooms, replaced toilet, checked pipes in walls for leaks and installed doors for easy access to pipes in the future; laid new flooring in laundry room, repaired damaged ceiling in kitchen by cutting out damaged drywall and preparing patch for painting.

We think a lot of the company. The owner, Jack Cherco did a terrific job, and we would use him again. He was conscientious of what it was costing and gave us several different options of how we could do things. He was timely and neat and clean. Any subcontractors that were used were knowledgeable craftsmen.
Description of Work: They came in after some structure drying and figured out where the water was coming in. They took out some damaged 2 x 4s and replaced them. They did some drywalling. They had to replace MDF or fiberboard and they did that without having to take down the brick facade. They also repaired a section of roof and did some tuckpointing. They also redesigned the downspout to make sure the water could not get into that area again.
