Charlie Frattini -- the construction guy who renovates the homes on the hit A&E reality show -- was taping an episode in Miami, FL last Friday ... when a very large mirror he was attempting to secure to the wall came crashing down onto his face.

After the incident, Charlie -- sporting 2 nasty black eyes -- taped a video statement and joked about the situation ... "I got in a fight with a mirror, and the mirror kicked my ass." See photo here.
