Just want to shout out a fantastic local business based here in West Orange. Carlos Chabla and his team at Charles & Sons Construction and Landscaping just completed a full renovation of our backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They were the only company we could find who could do everything we wanted: they built a deck, a pergola, a basketball court, and a new stairway; removed a pond; pressure washed the existing patio areas; and installed landscaping. After our first meeting, Carlos created a computer-generated design plan for the work, so I could see clearly how everything would look and agree on exactly what he'd do; this was at no cost and just part of his initial quote. Throughout the project, Carlos was a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with: always open and responsive to our many questions and ideas, always there when he said he'd be, and very extremely reasonable in terms of prices. His team did exceptional work -- they clearly take great pride in what they do and built structures that are made to last and display exceptional craftsmanship. They worked quickly and left the space clean and tidy each day. If you're considering any work on the exterior of your house, I'd highly recommend that you give Carlos a call!

I cannot say enough about Charles & Son. I received 4 different quotes for our deck and retaining wall and Charles & Son was the most reasonable. I priced out material for our deck & retaining wall myself so I had a good idea how much material would be for our deck and retaining wall and reviewed estimates with this in mind. Charles started the project when he said he would, kept the site clean the whole project, and finished when he said. He and his men are a pleasure to work with and their craftsmanship is excellent, plus, they don’t smoke which is a big deal for me as I am asthmatic. Another big plus for me is that Charles comes to give you the quote and he is the one overseeing the entire project from start to finish. There will be no middle man on your project or subcontractor building your deck or retaining wall. I couldn’t be happier with our end result and look forward to enjoying many years. We plan on redoing our black top driveway within the next few weeks and will only make one call, Guess to whom? Yep, the one and only Charles and Son!!

Carlos and his team did an excellent job installing a new patio, fixing an existing retaining wall and drainage system. Professional, efficient and accommodating. Looking forward to working with them in the near future. Highly recommend!

Another great job by Carlos and his team! Removed 2 layers of asphalt, widened existing driveway and paved with asphalt. Also ran additional pipes for drainage. Professional, neat and very accommodating. Definitely recommend.

Carlos and his team did an excellent job putting a patio in our awkward backyard space. They were quick and efficient and it looks amazing! It only took 2 days! Quality work for a good price.

Carlos and his crew did a great job for our patio and front walkway. Carlos communicated well with us and gave a good price. His crew came on several weekends to finish all the work. they usually come around 8am and leave around 5pm and clean up the site everyday after working. We are very happy how the patio came out. When we noticed a problem with drainage after a heavy rain, Carlos came and check and send his crew again and fixed the issue. Highly recommended.

Carlos gave us a retaining wall, front paver pathway, back paver patio, raised patio, new stairs and did everything beautifully! We could not be happier - our project was completed in less than two weeks and the guys on the job were really hard working! Thank you Carlos!
