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.

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
