Description of Work: Electrical outlet for garage opener was wobbly and my opener was acting up. Before I replaced the opener, I wanted to be sure it was not the electrical outlet causing the problem. Unfortunately, it wasn't the problem, but the outlet is now replaced. I had a totally positive experience and would not hesitate using this company again.

Description of Work: I had a minor accident involving my car door and the side of my garage wall. Jim was able to fit me into his busy schedule the same week I called him. Jim came out to rebuild the garage wall a couple days after he came by and gave me a free estimate. I had received a much higher estimate from another company. I was very pleased with the outcome. I am currently unemployed and my funds are limited. The quick response was really appreciated. When I am financially able, I will definitely have Jim come out to do addition work around my house. Cost of materials about $40, labor $60. I saved money and the job was done correctly. Sometimes this doesn't happen. Great job, Jim!! Thank you very much, Brenda

+ -1 moreI recently moved and needed several handyman-type projects completed around my townhouse. Had price quoted a few days before actual work was performed and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. Contractors were on time, professional, and did fantastic work. Will definitely use them again and refer to any of my friends in need of similar services.
Description of Work: Mounted 32" plasma television, hung wall mirror and wall decor, installed curtain rods and window treatments, moved large furniture pieces.

handyman service, playground equipment
+ 0 moreTurns out, the directions that quoted 10-12 hours were accurate. However, this vendor took the responsibility for his original estimate and gave me a fantastic price given the number of hours that they were there. I ended up giving him more money than he was asking for because of the great job and the fact that he was so honest. I recommend them fully, and also suggest that anyone buying a swingset from Costco factor in the amount of time that the assembly will require when comparing prices.
Description of Work: After finding myself in over my head on a swingset assembly, I looked for someone to put it together for me. I called and they came out the very next day. I was given an estimate of 2 hours, which sounded very low to me, but given that they'd put together swingsets before I figured that they knew better than me.

+ 2 moreWe were very pleased with their job. They are capable of doing all kind of things for you. They removed some drywall and moved the washer and dryer and repaired the drywall. They did a nice job on that to get the job done okay. They came little late. I would use their service in the future too.
Description of Work: We used By The Hour service for a handyman job in February.

handyman service, ceramic tile, electrician
+ 1 moreCalled a few people from your list. he was the first to call back (within 10 min). Came in the same day to do estimate and stayed a couple of hours to do some of the work before he had to be somewhere else for an appointment. Returned the next day and after the weekend to finish the jobs. No problems. Very professional. Cost ended up being more than estimated, but he did a good job.
Description of Work: Installed curtain rods on 20 ft high ceilings, replaced 2 broken tiles from stairwell, changed cable outlet location in 2 rooms, secured bookcases to a wall.

handyman service
+ -1 moreHe is a great handyman and I found him by word of mouth because a friend of mine had used him before. Actually, I am getting ready to have him fix some cracks in my walls, do some window tinting and put toilet repair kit. I haven't decided yet but possibly I am also going to use him to take out a patio sliding glass door and put in my front door. He has been excellent on the work that he has actually done for me. He was on-time or actually he was a little ahead of time and I didn't have anything to clean once he was done. He was very friendly and very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: He just happened to deliver and setup an entertainment center for me that I had bought but he does a little bit of everything.
