Testimonials
Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Pop's work:
Deb S. (homeowner, Rowlett TX):
I was introduced to Chuck by a mutual friend almost ten years ago when he did a small roof repair for me. Since that time, Chuck has completely remodeled my kitchen, built a new fence, put new windows and doors in my home (including installing doors in walls where there were no doors before to increase accessibility).
He and his fantastic family/crew have installed cabinets in many rooms, built a bar, done interior and exterior painting (including faux finish), repaired minor plumbing problems, created a new, large laundry room to replace the tiny space between the garage and house that was in the original plans, installed both tile and wood flooring, refinished my stair rails, hung blinds and curtains, redone my fireplace, built a walk-in closet, installed shelving, put in smoke detectors, lights, and ceiling fans, wall-mounted large screen TVs, built a new fence, installed a whole-house generator, and built a second-story guest room where there was only empty space looking down into my entry hall before. And I'm probably forgetting some of the projects.
Chuck Emmons is one of the people I trust most in the world to keep his word and do his best at every job. Katie Emmons Smith is one of the most talented young ladies I've ever met. Her artist's eye and creative skills create the big picture, but she's just as capable of the guys as doing the actual manual work, too. Mike Shepherd is the "strong guy" who carries the load - no matter how heavy that load might be - and is a jack of all trades who can do amazing things with a set of power tools. Jason Emmons, who left the family business for a corporate management career, is sorely missed by those of us for whom he performed minor miracles when he was a full-time part of Chuck's crew.
It's been said of me that I never met a house I didn't want to remodel. I admit that some of the ideas I come up with are pretty crazy. Many/most contractors would, upon hearing them, tell me that it couldn't be done. Chuck never has; when you give him a mission, his response is to start figuring out how we're going to go about doing it. And he has never failed to come through.
There is only one reason I would ever be hesitant to recommend Chuck whole-heartedly to anyone who needs home remodeling/renovation/repair work done; that's because I don't want him to be too busy to do my next project. And I'll always have a next project.
Thank you, Chuck et al, for making my home so much more beautiful, for saving me thousands of dollars over the years, but most of all for being my friends. Knowing you has made not just my house but my whole life better.

Dave P. (Real Estate Broker):
Pop's Realty Services has totally remodeled approx. 6 homes for me and did an outstanding job. All work was done in a timely manner and to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Chuck with Pop's Realty Services for all your remodeling and repair needs. It is hard to find honest, reliable, and reputable contractors like Pop's Realty Services. In the many years that I have know Chuck, I have found him to be of the highest character. Chuck has more satisfied, repeat customers than anyone I know. This speaks volumes about his business principles and commitment to customer satisfaction. Therefore, it is my pleasure to recommend Chuck and his crew at Pop's Realty Services.

Rebecca:
Mr. Emmons has provided friendly, effective, and professional services to me and my mother numerous times, on a variety of house repairs and problems, some of which required creative problem solving. (Same for his son and associate, Jason.) He is honest and helpful, including over the phone, and his rates are always fair. He just tries to help solve your problem -- he doesn't try to scalp you! -- and he stays available, unlike some 'hit and run' handymen whom you never can track down again. I highly recommend him and his way of managing his business.

Dale and Sherry:
“We were very pleased with the work Pop, did for us during our renovation of our 1947 home. The work included major upgrading, such as electric and plumbing; removing, moving and building new walls; and even some exterior work. The biggest job was adding a complete new bathroom and all the wonderful ceramic tile work Jason & Martin did. Pop and his crew really listened to what we wanted, and made sure we were satisfied all along the way. He was always willing to “redo” something if it didn’t meet our expectations, which mostly involved color choices and aesthetic touches. We would proudly recommend Pop’s Realty Services to anyone in need of most any repair, change, or renovation around the house; and we’ve experienced just about all these services first hand! “

Carolyn & Dan:
“We were delighted with the painting at our house – outside, bedroom & bath. My husband was certainly pleased with the prep work and painting done. Pop’s crews started and ended at agreed times each day & left supplies in order. We are somewhat hard to please – being a building contractor’s daughter – but Chuck and his crew met the challenge. We definitely will call him again!
​
Nancy:
Possibly one of the luckiest days of my life was the day that one of Chuck's children placed a flyer on my door. I was looking for someone to handle all the things that I don't have a clue how to do. Chuck and his kids have been a part of my life for over 5 years. They have painted and re-painted for me. Chuck spent 8 hours in my new house hanging every shelf, picture, mirror, etc. on my walls. I cannot explain all they have done for me, from building things, to fixing things, to painting things and hanging things. They are honest and reliable. As my daughter says, "Everyone needs a Chuck."
​
Denise (from Ebby Halliday Realtors office):
I am very pleased with the work performed by Chuck and Pop's Realty Services. Their professionalism and communication is what lead me to use them, and due to their fair pricing and beautiful results I will call them with any future remodeling or repairs! I felt comfortable with them in my personal home, and would not hesitate to recommend them to my real estate clients.

Just a note to say how much I appreciate the quality and affordable work you have done for Mayfair Properties, our property management company. You always get the work done promptly and within your bid price. No bad surprises, and in rehabbing projects the surprises are never good! ( from Mayfair Properties & Main Street Realty).
