Carl Codling Construction

I moved into a new home and my mother recommended that Carl help me with a few projects. He came and measured and helped me brainstorm ideas for three pieces of furniture. At first we traded sketches and then he modeled the pieces on the computer in a manner that helped me better visualize the finished product, which caused me to realized that I wanted further changes. He then showed me samples of how the wood would look finished with different stains so I could be sure I had the right red oak -- not just "a" red oak.

He built me three matching pieces that I love: a curved window seat that tucks perfectly under a corner window, a masterful U-shaped desk that makes great use of an otherwise awkward space, and built-in bookshelves that he installed in a hallway. For the window seat, he made a pattern so that the people from cushionsource.com could make a custom cushion, which turned out great. For the bookshelves, installed some LED strip lighting.

I have some other projects in mind and as you might guess, Carl will be my go-to person. Thanks Carl!

I was fortunate to have Carl available when I wanted my kitchen and bathroom remodeled. His work is nothing ls than first class. His tiling is perfection. You will never find a more professional and personable contractor.

Carl is a 5 star contractor. In the fall of 2012 he remodeled our main bathroom. We had decided that we wanted to use some of the original tile in some areas, but otherwise we totally gutted the bathroom. He replaced the shower/tub unit, tiled the walls with the old tile we wnated and tiled the floor, put new cabinets in place (his recommendations for the cabinet layout yielded me sooo much more space), set the granite, refinished some walls and painted ( an excellent painter too I might add!) He also built a unit for our wall lighting because it was too recessed for the new medicine cabinet that he also hung....it's beautiful
He is meticulous.....lays plastic all along his path for the entire project. He encapsulates the work space so that the dust stays as confined as it possibly can. And when he tells you he will be there at 8.... He's there at 7:58! He is a pleasure to work with and a real craftsman (and has a great sense of humor!) I hope to have the opportunity to utilize his services again in the future and would not hesitate for one second to recommend him to friends and family.

Carl is the most talented contracter in my opinion. I say this because he because he gave me 100% to accomodate what I wanted and staying within my budget, which I realized was difficult to do; but Carl's creativity and devotion to his work is what made it possible. He has such a pleasant attitude and you can clearly see how passionate he is on his work. It was a joy working with him. I get so many complements on his work, especially his his creative and beautiful tile work.

My husband and I found Carl by chance, and could not have been more fortunate. We hired him to build a wooden deck and stone handicap ramp for our restaurant, with beautiful results. He has been the most punctual, reliable and hardworking contractor we have ever worked with. We look forward to working with him on future projects, large and small, and highly recommend him for any job.
