Member Spotlight: Chuckwalla Construction

Every BNI chapter has one seat per profession, and at BNI A1 Networkers the handyman seat belongs to Chuckwalla Construction, represented by Christopher Reinhard.

Almost every homeowner has a running list of small jobs that never seem to get done: a door that sticks, a shelf that needs hanging, a fixture that needs replacing. Chuckwalla Construction is the kind of company you call to finally clear that list, and to take on bigger projects too.

What Chuckwalla Construction does

Chuckwalla Construction is a Glendale-based handyman and general contracting company serving Glendale, Phoenix and the surrounding West Valley. Their work covers everything from quick repairs to larger home projects, including:

• Handyman repairs, from installing shelves to fixing the small things that pile up around the house
• Fixture installation for lights, hardware and other household items
• Door replacement
• Cabinet installation
• Interior painting
• Remodeling projects for residential clients

Because they handle both handyman work and general contracting, homeowners do not have to start over with a new company when a small fix turns into a bigger project.

Why a good handyman matters

A reliable handyman is one of the most requested referrals in any community. Big contractors often do not want small jobs, and homeowners do not always know who to trust in their house. A business that shows up, does the work right and leaves the place clean is worth its weight in gold.

Handyman work also helps other professionals. Property managers need someone to handle repairs between tenants. Real estate agents need quick fixes before a listing goes live or after an inspection report. Homeowners getting ready to sell often have a list of small items to take care of before photos.

Why summer is a good time for indoor projects

It is the middle of a West Valley summer. Monsoon season is here, temperatures are well over 100 and most people are spending their days indoors. That makes it a natural time to notice what needs attention inside the house:

• The cabinet door that never closes right
• The room that has needed fresh paint for years
• The light fixture you have been meaning to replace
• The interior door that sticks every time you close it

Indoor projects can be scheduled now so the house is ready before fall guests and holiday gatherings arrive. Families who have just moved in over the summer also tend to have a long list of things to fix and upgrade.

How you can refer Chuckwalla Construction

A great referral for Chris is:

• A homeowner with a "honey-do" list that keeps getting longer
• A real estate agent whose client needs repairs before listing or closing
• A property manager or landlord who needs repairs between tenants
• A new homeowner who wants to paint, update fixtures or install cabinets
• Someone planning a remodel who is not sure where to start
• An older homeowner who needs help with jobs they no longer want to do themselves

An easy way to bring it up: "Do you have a list of small projects around the house you have not had time for?" If they do, connect them with Chris or point them to chuckwallaconstruction.com.
