The quality of the construction is outstanding, and exactly what we had imagined when we originally came up with the concept. Mike and Brian were a pleasure to work with -- professional, on-time, and responsive to all of our needs.

We can't wait to work with Wade Brothers again on a future project, and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality, custom pieces for their home.

A lifesaver when you need someone you can truly trust!…read more I was home visiting my parents who live in Evanston and ran into a lighting and electrical issue I wasn't comfortable handling myself. I turned to Yelp -- and thankfully, it led me straight to the right person. Pat from AnyFix came out promptly and quickly diagnosed a short that had knocked out my parents' porch light -- something that could've been a real safety issue, especially since my dad has trouble seeing in the dark. Pat was not only knowledgeable and efficient, but also incredibly kind, honest, and professional. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, fixed the issue perfectly, and made sure everything was safe before leaving. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people, not just getting the job done. I'll definitely be keeping his number on speed dial for any future repairs. If you want someone who's dependable, personable, and knows their craft inside and out -- call Pat at AnyFix. You'll be glad you did.

We engaged Chara Construction to rebuild the entranceway to our enclosed front porch, adding two…read morenew windows and an all-weather door. Paul and his team did an excellent job. Having had several large indoor projects completed to our older home, I know how to evaluate renovation work. The door and windows are all flush and tightly sealed, the door swings freely, and all the trim looks great. The replacement woodwork is indistinguishable from what was there before (minus the dry rot, of course!) Paul's team also spent a lot of time with me picking exactly the right windows for the job, and we settled on the perfect balance between appearance and ease of maintenance. I would hire Chara Construction for any future renovation jobs on my 100-plus year-old home in a heartbeat.

Paul kept adding ideas and I kept approving and the end result was something I had'nt even imagined. both projects were done within a week, the price was amazing for what I got and I am over the moon with my new bar and kitchen shelving.
