What can I say that hasn't already been stated in all of his reviews. Carlton was punctual, courteous and very knowledgeable. He took care of numerous nagging projects for me (they would have taken me hours to complete) and did them in a short amount of time. I will not hesitate to call him again in the future. He was well worth what he charged for the work!

The gentleman carpenter, Carlton, has completed a tricky project along with his sound suggestions to make it even more simple and effective. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and thoroughness, and wholly recommend him without reservation. Great job, and thanks again Carlton...!

Carlton was great! He replaced our garbage disposal and tested for any leaks when he was finished. He ran to the hardware store twice to get necessary supplies and did an amazingly thorough job. Would definitely use his services again!

I had to call two Handymen before I zeroed in on Carlton. Our job was installing a 56"""" flat screen TV on a wall using a bracket I bought at Costco. It required three talents, electrical(he needed to install a set of outlets behind the TV), Drywall(we wanted all wires hidden in the wall) and installation(the mount came with 30 page manual and installation DVD). Carlton was on time, phoning to say he was on the way, meticulous, laying down kraft paper to catch the dust, and extremely detail conscious and capable. He worked in less than ideal conditions(poor lighting) and was polite, determined and conscientious. He always measured twice and cut once and in the end the job was executed perfectly. It's hard to imagine a more capable and reasonable handyman!

Carlton was recommended to me by a co-worker when i was thinking of cleaning up a 5 year old desktop computer last year so as to give it to a relative. Immediately, I felt that he was knowledgeable and professional, and also quite honest (and real) as to the benefits and limits of the aforementioned computer. Carlton was willing to pick up the computer from me at work, and was kind enough bring it back to me (made it a lot easier for me with my schedule). My husband's laptop has been """"acting up, """" and coincidentally, I had the misfortune of getting a trojan on my computer last weekend. Carlton was available with very short notice last week, fixed my computer (and expunged the nasty trojan) and will be taking our other household laptop tomorrow. His turnaround time is very reasonable, and his fees are quite fair. I have recommended Carlton and as a repeat customer, feel that I will not hesitate to call him again for our computer maintenance.

Carlton came out to look at my sump pump because I was worried I had a leak. He patiently conducted numerous tests of the system to determine what was causing the problem. We discovered nothing was broken, it's just a design issue. (whew - now I can stop nagging my honey about wasting water). Carleton was courteous, on time, and his rates are extremely fair. And best of all, he did not create an expensive problem where none existed! I'll call Carleton again when I need to get things done around the house.

Carlton is professional, very prompt our appt., was able to repair all the jobs that we threw at him (which were driving us crazy!) and a very nice guy. Most importantly he was easy to reach and/or returned calls quickly. We will be calling him again for any future projects that come up! Highly recommend his work.

Carlton is one of the most multitalented service oriented people I know. From building and repairing PC's, to home repair, to creating a produce buying club Carlton is truly servicing his community is many ways.

Carlton is a sensible, skilled handyman (and also a great computer tech) and I really like that if he can't do it, he'll be honest and tell you up front. His work is clean and done well

I have hired Carlton for many years. From fixing a sump pump (he saved me about $500!!) to plumbing problems. Light electrical to repairs around the home like loose handles, towel bars, etc., he has been great. He even helped me with a virus on my old pc! Carlton is one of those rare folks who are good at many things. I highly recommend him and continue to use him when needed to this day. Prices are very fair too. He's also timely, professional, but not alot of talking - he gets to work which I appreciate.
