Hired Charlie even though he was roughly 20% more than the other bids I got. He came highly reviewed so after being burned by a previous contractor I did not want to take chances. It all started off good. His work is great and the end job was well done. The issue is he did not do the entire job that we originally agreed upon which included taking trash left over from a demo from the previous contractor. Also, he did 90% of my yard and grass seeded it but then at the end says the agreement did not include the other 10% which was also messed up and needed to be done. Who in their right mind would not want the other 10% done as well even if it cost a little more? I told him originally I wanted the entire yard done and trash gone When we originally talked I told him I wanted a contract, I asked him two more times before he even started working. Even at the end of the work I still do not have a contract. He finished 85% of what we agreed upon and then still expected his entire payment, now I seen why he did not make a contract. Then he got mad and threatened to call the zoning officer on me for the trash that he left on my back porch, and would not you know it the zoning officer shows up a few days later to give us a warning. So much trash that it broke the back porch so that now it needs to be repaired. He also cracked my concrete entry to my driveway with his dump truck which I will also have to get fixed. In conclusion, Charlie does good work but make sure you get a contract before he does any work because he will change the agreement on you and still expect full payment.

Charles holena and his son were very professional, courteous, friendly. when I had a question, they had the answer, no matter how trivial it would be. their price was very reasonable. what is written in your contract is delivered to a t. they work hard and the job is done in the time they specify it will be finished and it is done professionally. I would recommend them and will hire them again. I thank them very much for a job well done.

Our project was right on the property line, and without us even mentioning this, he talked to the neighbor and made and arrangement that allowed him the flexibility to do what we needed and gave the neighbor help with his property.

Charlie Holena and crew made the process of Demolition and salvage as easy as can be. The demolition was carefully and thoughtfully accomplished. All obstacles in the process were handled with great aplomb.
