His work is precise. His prices are appropriate for > the quality of his work. He is a pleasure to work with, incorporating > my ideas when they work and advising me when they don't. > I highly recommend him to anyone who values quality workmanship. **★★★★ — Travis Bostwick, March 2017** > Was suggestive and informed me on what he thought was best, did not try to "oversell." tasks were completed and everything meet my expectations. **★★★★★ — Steve Swanson, Jan. 2017** > My wife and I were doing a whole house remodeling in Janesville, WI on a Victorian Home. We reached out to Chuck via a classified ad and he and his wife came to the house to assess our project. We interviewed other carpenters and were impressed with his website and the Kitchen Cabinets that were displayed. We later found out it was Kitchen cabinets he had put in his own home. My wife and I needed a finish carpenter who would be able to match the existing woodwork and put in our new Kitchen Cabinets. Chuck is hands down the best carpenter I have hired. The Janesville home that Chuck did the carpenter work is the 5th home me and my wife have remodeled and we have used several contractors in different fields. He is a perfectionist, which every homeowner loves, and when we wanted him to match existing woodwork such as baseboards he had a mill work that could tool the wood to match existing baseboard. He is professional and shows up on a time agreed and he works the entire time. This behavior sounds like it should be the norm, but this day in age finding someone that takes pride in their work, is timely and gets the job done is a rarity. Chuck is a true craftsman. **★★★★★ — Dave Laskowski, Jan. 2017** > Chuck is amazing. He's not only a great carpenter, he is a great contractor--he manages projects flawlessly. He knows someone for every job. In addition, he is trustworthy, reasonably priced, reliable, and easy to talk to. We can't say enough good things about Chuck. We are so lucky to have found him. **★★★★★ — Amy Arntson, Jan. 2017** > Chuck Harter has been doing improvements and repairs on my house for a couple of decades. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. He is totally reliable, a pleasant person and has excellent skills. He has installed third floor windows, replaced skylights, installed interior and exterior doors, new kitchen cabinets and more. He shows up when he says he will, and completes the job in a timely fashion. I trust him completely. ## Selected projects - [New home build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-home-build-pj-vj~1660166) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Before and After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-and-after-pj-vj~2393184) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [After and before remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/after-and-before-remodel-pj-vj~2393478) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [After and before 3 car garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/after-and-before-3-car-garage-pj-vj~2393582) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Finished Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/finished-kitchen-pj-vj~2393567) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [New 2 level garage with Spancrete](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-2-level-garage-with-spancrete-pj-vj~2393507) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-pj-vj~1662018) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Victorian restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/victorian-restoration-pj-vj~1660009) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-pj-vj~1662219) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Home remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-remodel-pj-vj~1662114) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/addition-pj-vj~1659941) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/harter-construction-inc-pfvwus-pf~2014458499) ## Ideabooks - [Space/orginization ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/86284530/list/space-orginization-ideas) — 20 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/86284353/list/kitchens) — 24 ideas - [Hillside](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/84969704/list/hillside) — 29 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/aharter) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
