Tim was absolutely great to work with! He communicated with us a ton during the planning and purchasing phases and daily every time he was working on our projects. He was up front and fair about costs and true to his estimates. He also did some on-site coordination with the people installing our sidewalk pavers which we didn’t ask for but was much appreciated. He left the project sites clean and ready to use, and made sure we were well informed about the permitting process, the steps he would take during construction and what materials he was using. He’s the perfect guy for some of those projects that aren’t super big but might be bigger than you want to tackle. Absolutely will be contacting him again for all of our handyman needs!

Tim was prompt and worked efficiently on the projects. I have been very happy with the outcome, particularly with the garage, whose service life he extended for years. Tim's explanations for the approach he took were helpful and demonstrated years of hand-on experience.

Clay and Tim performed the following repairs for us recently: fix rotted portions of the front door, repair/sand/stain deck, clean siding and gutters, repair storm door etc. They both care deeply about the quality of their solution and work, have our backs, their patience and attitude is extraordinary, and no work is small of them! For the work that they are not setup to do as yet, Tim provides his recommendations and can also act as the general contractor. That has helped us out with our driveway repair, heating/cooling audit etc. Thank you both and we look forward to our continued partnership with you.

We have called Tim Carlisle for large jobs and small jobs. No matter how big or minor the project, Tim and his crew have been helpful! We have always been happy with the high level of professionalism, prompt estimate and completion of work, clean up and thoroughness. We’re incredibly satisfied and will continue to call Tim for projects for our home.

Tim is a very professional and pleasant person. He completed several small jobs for me including installing an exterior light fixture. He is easy to talk to and gave me some helpful tips. Unfortunately he told me his business has grown so much that he is now concentrating on larger remodeling projects and no longer has time for small projects and repairs such as mine.

Tim and his assistants did a great job. He is very organized, knowledgeable, and straight forward. Unexpected expenses/complications did come up, due to the age of the house, so the project ended up costing more and taking more time than we'd hoped, but Tim was great about managing those complications and getting the work done in a timely way. We are very happy with the results, and will definitely want him to do more work.

Went very well. I have used Tim twice in the past for small jobs. I'm disappointed that he says he no longer has time for small jobs like I usually have. He now seems to be involved in more complex work.

Tim and his crew did an outstanding job on our new deck. We told him what we wanted and he took it from there. We wanted it built to code, which was no problem. The deck was constructed using 16' cedar planks, which Tim personally picked out to make sure they were all straight and top quality. Parts of the job were difficult, owing to muddy conditions and rocky terrain, but the guys persisted and delivered a great-looking end result. Thumbs up for a job well done.

Tim and his associates removed all of the cabinets and appliances from my old kitchen, and installed new cabinets.  There were challenges, as my house is 56 years old, and installing the new cabinets was not a straight-forward process.  A kitchen remodel is frustrating, but Tim did his best to make it bearable.  I love my new kitchen1

Tim and his crew did a fantastic job. As always, his price quote was on target and the work was high quality and efficient. The doors are a great addition to our home. Tim not only installed the doors, but helped us plan which doors and door hardware to purchase so that everything would go smoothly. We highly recommend Tim and plan to invite him back for future work.

I was referred to Tim from another local handyman that was leaving the business...I was very pleased.  Tim was punctual, did great work, and most important to me he seemed very trustworthy.  Being referred by my retiring handyman told me he was one I could trust to work without oversight and leave a key.  He removed the old door and installed the new one in one day while I was at work.  He went above and beyond by suggesting he take my iron screen door home and touch it up and reinstall it.  I didn't even think to do that...two days later he was back and reinstalled a newly painted screendoor and the overall package looks super.  Door is tight and looks great.  I would not hesitate to recommend Tim to anybody that is looking for this type of work!

When work was performed, it was well done. My only complaint about the work done was that Dennis wanted me to tell him what materials to use (anti-mildew paint, for example), and the reason I called a handyman in the first place is that I have no idea! I had to push to get him to recommend something, and then I had to go and get the product myself.

I've called Tim for a couple of years for general handy work, such as replacing faucets, etc. He shows up when he says he will, he's very reasonably priced, is kind and patient with my dogs and always backs up his work if there are any problems (rare).

Overall it went very well. Dennis used his own blueprints to make the coop. He just made it a bit wider and longer to meet our specifications. He taught us how to do some of the easier jobs and put us to work! We were hammering and painting along with him. When it was ready, he hauled the coop parts over to our home and we finished it on our property so it fit where we wanted it. He came back a few times to make sure it was staying put. The coop included a nesting box and a ladder, as well as a perch for the chickens. In Madison the ordinance states that all chickens must be in a coop. We thought of ordering one from the internet, or making our own. But in the end we decided to support a local supplier and handy person.
