Charlie and his team are absolutely incredible. We got referred to Charlie by a friend (who has had her whole condo and new house done by Charlie) after we dealt with a really unfortunate situation with our old contractor and let that person go. So we were in the midst of a full kitchen and mudroom renovation and brought Charlie along for the ride. I'm not a designer by trade but I have always been passionate about interior design and Charlie immediately put my mind at ease (and my husbands stress) - I trusted him the second he actually listened to what I had to say. He was open, honest, realistic, and friendly about the work he would endure and accepted our kitchen reno dreams with open arms. He is very easy to talk to, he respected our space and time and was extremely flexible with our schedule. We have a very funky house layout with tight corners and awkward steps and they managed to haul in a HUGE refrigerator and massive floor to ceiling cabinets with not a single scratch - I swear they worked magic. They are meticulous about details and sanded/painted/buffed any marks that occur with any install. They don't cut corners - literally and figuratively - they actually end cap those quarter rounds unlike some contractors :) The electricians and plumbers are fantastic too, incredibly easy to work with and we will be using them for small jobs around the house when we need them in the future. Saved the best part for last - pricing is very reasonable. It's honest and quality work for prices that are comparable to most major contractors in the Devon and Wayne area who don't do as good of a job as Charlie and his team. We've recommended Charlie to all of our friends here and they've brought him on board as well. Currently starting our master bathroom renovation now with Charlie and everything is going so well. We are so excited and can't say enough great things about them. Never thought we'd be so thrilled with a contractor!

Charlie and his team at Precise Home Services did an amazing job on my home improvement project, which involved a new bathroom and closet and some hallway renovations to my Manayunk home. When I wanted to change the scope and details of the project, it was never a problem. Charlie and his team made it happen.
This is my first home and my first major home improvement project, but the process was super smooth. I had a very small, very old, very ugly bathroom with very little utility. I also had very little closet space in my home. What I wanted to do was gut the closet and expand it into a bunch of useless extra hallway space and also into a VERY small "bedroom" that had no closets in it and turn the remaining space in that bedroom into a large walk-in master closet.
I talked to probably 20+ contractors about it. Most were way too expensive, said it wasn't going to be possible to do exactly what I wanted or both. Precise was one of the few that gave me a great price and said they could bring my vision to life. Even as that vision changed a bunch during the project, Charlie and his team rolled with it and came through. Whenever I had a question, they had a great answer. Whenever there was something I hadn't thought of, they brought it to my attention and took care of whatever I wanted. And when I had no idea what I wanted, they always had a couple of great ideas for me.
They even took time out in the middle of the project to go fix something in my girlfriend's house in South Philly for free. Can't beat that.
There was one problem during the project where they broke some tile and damaged the tub, but they let me know about it and replaced it at their own cost.
Really, I couldn't be happier with the final results. The project came in right on budget (other than some more expensive materials that I decided to go with, so that's on me) and it looks fantastic. Everyone who comes over is blown away by it. It looks and feels like a different house!Philadelphia, PA

Working with Charlie and Marc was a wonderful experience. This was our first time working with a contractor to renovate our new (to us) 1920 craftsman style, bungalow, in North Wales, PA. They re-did our master bedroom and bathroom. Not only did they execute my exact vision but they made the process easy and kept us on budget. They always answered all my questions, as we made our way through the reno and kept me up to date with how it was going. They offered perfect solutions to design issues and they pretty much did the most involved trim work (with our angled ceilings) that I've ever seen, to make sure we were happy with the end result in our bedroom. I could not recommend them highly enough and we plan to use them again for our kitchen, living room and dinning room in the future.

Charlie and Marc knocked the cover off the ball with my Old City condo bathroom renovation. Not only did they capture my EXACT vision and provide guidance and advice along they way, but they did it on budget and most importantly, while I was working from home during Covid-19. We started demo before the virus went and I had plans to stay elsewhere while my shower was out of commission (2-4 wk estimate). Fast forward to mid-March and I'm forced to return home in the midst of a lockdown and I have no shower. Not only did Charlie and Marc kick it into high gear to ensure I had working plumbing, but they went above and beyond to get all of the materials they needed to get the job done before stores closed.
Yes, it took longer than anticipated (3 months total) Duh, we were in a global pandemic. Yes, we maintained a clean and healthy work environment and limited entry to my condo to just Marc and Charlie to avoid the spread. And YES, I would 100% use these guys again and recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful work. Amazing all around.Philadelphia, PA

These guys did our kitchen renovation - they took it from non-functional, 70s awfulness to beautiful and fully functional. I also really appreciate that they were totally cognizant of our budget and willing to work with us to stay within the range we could do. Communication could have been better at times, and there are some small things that could've been done better, but overall they stayed pretty close to our timeline and did nice work. Bottom line is we have a great new kitchen and I would recommend them!

Search no more! Charlie's your man. Ask, and you shall receive - and then some. Choosing Charlie and his team was the easiest and best decision I made in my whole home renovation process.
Let me first start by saying that I will willingly admit that I am that ridiculous person that will make a spreadsheet with all the necessary facts about every decision I make in my life. You can bet your butt I did the same when looking for contractors, and Charlie is one of the best in the Philly area.
First, I truly appreciated that Charlie took the time to walk around my house with me while I discussed my plans. He took his time to survey the space, digest my ideas, and chimed in every so often when he needed to be honest about feasibility and/or if he had any other comments. I appreciated the honesty and loved many of his additional suggestions! I could immediately tell that Charlie has had considerable experience with dated rowhomes, like mine. Also, he was more than willing to take on the magnitude of some of the projects, no matter how big or small.
Just to give you an idea, these are some of the things they did for me:
-Gutted entire first floor
-Installed new flooring, framing, dry wall, kitchen cabinets, appliances, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, rug, railing, doors, molding, and trim work.
-Leveled floors, supported cracked rafters, added additional support beams, added insulation, and installed some new windows.
All things considered, Charlie wants to make sure you're happy with the end result, and he will keep any promise he makes. One example is my bathroom surround tile - I didn't like how dark the grout came out and the placement of the tiles. Charlie was willing to redo it, and went over everything step by step to make sure we were on the same page the second time around. Now, I'm not saying make them do it 5 times until you get something you like. I'm just saying that he's willing to work with you if it doesn't come out exactly as you had anticipated the first time.
Lastly, just look at the quality of their work. Attached you will see some albums of the before, during, and after pictures of my home. As I have told Charlie, you are more than welcome to visit my home (with Charlie or Robin) to see any of the finished work firsthand.

I called looking for help on a couple small projects. Charlie's schedule was booked up and he couldn't get to me quickly but he gladly spent some time on the phone with me to understand what I had going on, helped me troubleshoot, and referred me to people he thought could help. You can tell when you are talking to a good person who actually wants to help. There's few contractors who fit that mold. Precise will be my first call next time I have a home related project I can't handle myself.
