Reliable and Professional Service
We needed repairs on our deck and some framing work done, and Plank & Chisel delivered exactly what they promised. The attention to detail and quality of carpentry really stood out. They also fixed a few small handyman jobs around the house while they were here, which saved me so much time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for honest and reliable service in the Des Moines area.

From drywall repair to cabinet installation, P&C Handyman handled it all with ease. The carpentry work on my kitchen cabinets looks fantastic, and they even mounted my TV and installed new light fixtures. It’s rare to find a handyman who’s skilled in so many areas while keeping carpentry as their specialty. Great service, fair rates, and a friendly team
