Went very well. I was relieved to get all of these things done in two days. Would have probably only taken one day but circumstances for both of us interrupted our time schedule. Not a big problem. Workman called to keep in contact about times of arrival. He was capable for all of the work requested. Nice man and worked well. Helped me understand what was wrong and what he would do to repair it. Owner and workman were both flexible to my needs. Cleaned up everything and put up with all of my noisy animals. I will use again as soon as I can.
Description of Work: Attached new doorbell plate Bought three light kits and replaced current square light boxes with round and re-cut plywood to cover corners. I opted to do the popcorn ceiling repair myself. Removed one old track light and installed two new track lights in its place. Repairman had to crawl in attic space to accomplish this. Repaired one accordion door bottom toggle and secured it , put door back in place in front of dryer. Purchased two new locks/dead bolt sets for side garage doors and installed them, purchased door sweep for one of these doors and attached to bottom, purchased and installed longer plate for third door so locks fit more securely. Had all three locks keyed to match each other.

It is so important to the growth of my company, as this is a real way to gage the quality of a company .Many potential customers take others, who have used a company, review to make a choice on who they will hire. Again Thank You Jim Witmyer Mr. Fix It

Overall the experience was great from start to finish. Mr. Fix It explained the problem and assured me that the repair would be done right and I had no doubt that this would be the case. What a relief to have the plumbing repairs finally be fixed correctly.
Description of Work: After my home warranty service sent out two (2) incompetent plumbing companies to repair my plumbing problem resulting from a very bad licensed contractor experience I requested that Mr. Fix It be approved to fix the problem. Mr. Fix It was able to diagnose the problem, order the correct part and repair the problem. Mr. Fix It installed the part, and fixed the drywall in my kitchen ceiling. Mr. Fix It will be only the repairman approved to make my future home repairs. He is honest, knowledgeable and a man of integrity. He also does quality work and does not cut corners.

Great, Jim worked around my hectic schedule.
Description of Work: I called Jim on a Saturday. He answered the call and we scheduled a Monday appointment to fix my electrical screw-ups. Jim called to be a little late (30 min), but was thorough and corrected the problem efficiently and quickly. I will use again for similar issues.

Jim's group is great! They practically fix anything that you need. I have had them come out a couple of times since moving to Bakersfield to set up pictures, fix doors, etc and have been satisfied. The last time they came out, the guy finished the job super fast so even though they still charged me for an hour (I think they charge about $70 per hour but call to confirm) they gave me a credit for next time. Only thing that kind of sucks is they don't do later into the evening so Saturdays are your best bet if you have a busy work week. I just bought a house and will be scheduling with them soon to help with little projects around the house. Highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Hang pictures, metal artwork, curtains, as well as fixed sliding door.

Thank you for taking time to review my company. I know it's hard when people work and need service in the evening. I will look into having someone available. This is hard since my employees have families and want to be available for them. My company is very family friendly. I believe if the employees' family is happy and involved, then the employee will be, which makes for better quality of work and service for my client. We do make exceptions on an as needed situation.

Dear Member, I'm sorry that I never received your messages. I have received many, many phone calls and messages since 10/10/11. I have someone that answers the phone on a consistent basis, so I am concerned that we never were able to connect. I appreciate your response and will look at ways to improve so I don't miss calls again.

Contacted Mr. Fix-It for two small roof repair jobs. He called me and told me that he did do small roof repairs but did not do a full roof job. After a week I had not heard from him so I did a follow up call but did not get a call back. The following day I made second call and did get a call back. I was informed at that time that he did not do this type of roof repair. First he did, then he didn't. Getting repairs done in a timely manner is critical. This type of service is NOT acceptable and I will never call Mr. Fix-it again.

fencing
  + -1 more
I was glad to have the division between the neighboring house, even though the completed work did not look to be, in the least of professional quality. Fortunately, this fencing project is in an out of the way area, and does not attract much outside attention. Overall, the customer's time was not at all important to Mr. Fixi., he did not heed appointment schedules, he just wanted to appear when it was convenient for him and to catch me off guard. He even commented, "no one can sneak up on you, can they." He had no comment as to why he felt it necessary to continue this attempt.
Description of Work: He collected my $500.00 check, but the next day I noticed that his charge included $25.00 for "disposal". Before he had begun his work, I had explained to him that, not only would he use my chain link fencing material, but all left over wires, screws, etc. would remain with me, so there really was no "disposal" fee. He did return, and had me provide $5.00 change for the $30.00 he had provided. Luckily, I had cash, as I seldom have more than change in the house. It was difficult initially to get in touch with him, as he repeatedly did not respond to the Angie's List e-mail. I finally tracked him down through the white pages. The materials he brought for an additional privacy fence looked used and were dirty. He left ugly jagged edges when he divided the sections to use in another area, and he often showed up unexpectedly, which I found annoying.

I live in an older home and the drawers in my kitchen were a nightmare to open and close. I called Mr. Fixit and Jim came out, looked at the drawers and gave me the price for replacing all the sliders. Don came out the next day (on time) and replaced them all. The job took about 3hrs. Don's work was very good and he cleaned up after he was done. You would not of know that any work was done..what a plus!! I've heard from a few that their charges are high. I agree but I also got what I paid for. I have hired other handymen and paid less and got a lot less, dirty work and left my house left in a mess. Most of the time you get what you pay for and I will use Mr. Fixit again and hope I get Don to do the work . Thank you Mr. Fixit.
Description of Work: Replaced 9 kitchen drawer sliders. The price included the parts.

Thak You for the report. My prices are fair for what you get. If you compare to handyman, yes they may seem a little high, but I am a license general contractor with workers comp, liability ins. and a bond. When you compare prices to other contractors you will find I'm very competitive. I really appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Jim

When I tried to use the shower the next day, I found that the shower head was aimed toward the right shower wall and I couldn't adjust it at al! I immediately called Mr. Fixit. He and his helper came as soon as possible and fixed it for me - no charge. They clean up after themselves fairly well but may ask you for towels or rags.
Description of Work: Mr Fixit has a $50 trip fee. That is taken into account when he agrees to do the job. For instance; if the job costs $40, your cost will be $90 and he tells you that up front. If the job is only going to cost $10, he suggests ways you can fix it yourself or call someone who has a less expensive trip charge. I had a dripping shower head. He came, assessed the situation, told me I needed a new valve and then went to get it. He has a helper with him most of the time. When they returned they replaced the valve in the cold water handle and I thought all was well.

They were very good. They were able to do the job right away. They were really easy to talk to. They explained everything to me. It all worked out really well. I called them up, and they sent a guy out on time. He took a look at the work and figured out what he would need. He went to the store and got his supplies. A short time after that, he had it all fixed up.

He met with me at the site and gave me an estimate. I scheduled the work and he did the job right on time. The actual cost was slightly higher than the estimate, but still within the range I expected to pay. He has an office person who actually answers the phone and he returns calls right away. I would definately hire him again.

Upon reading the report I called the Member and offered to come out and correct anything. She was surprised to see that I was interested in correcting the situation. I met with her and corrected the situation. While there she asked me to do more work, which was completed. I then thanked her for commenting on Angie's list, but I whish she would have called me. She stated that she was really okay with the service, for she thought it was only a miss communication. She then stated that Angie's list contacted her to seek a report. All she said she told them that she figured she didn't comunicated clearly to the worker. That she would hire them again, and that she should have called Mr. Fixit, but that it wasn't that big of a deal.

He returns your phone calls, which is a big deal to me. When you call somebody, you like them to respond in a timely manner. If he says that he's going to show up at a certain time, he will be there. If you take off work for a contractor to come, you like them to show up. We actually found him on Angie's List. We have been very pleased with him. He is very friendly and professional, and he doesn't overstep any bounds.
Description of Work: He did some interior painting. He put up a fence in my backyard. He took down a cabinet and put in pot lights. He refinished the surface of the ceiling. He did some interior work in my closet. He also worked on my roof.

The tile looks good in the bathroom; not completed. The laundry room worked out well, not completed. The fence was never started, no one showed up.
Description of Work: Tile a small bathroom, he tiled on 85% of the room, left hidden area uncovered, my husband had to finish the job; the laundry room - he moved the exhause for the dryer, left the other ones open and stuffed rags in the holes; and he never showed up to repair the fence (the fence was not in estimate). He did have someone come and put in a security door which we have no problems with. He does not return calls; and he does not finish his work. We are not happy with his company and will not call him again

I called the member once I read this report. This was the third or fourth job we did for her. I offered to come and correct her concerns. Her husband had already fixed them. I was at a lost as to her comment that I didn't return her calls. I am not sure how that happened. Once you become a client, I give you my personal cell number , so you can bypass the office. WE now do follow up calls, to hopefully avoid a situation like this again. Thank You for taking the time to report. Jim Witmyer

He did not use the correct parts and did not seal the pipes. As a result there was a gas leak and we had to evacuate our home in the middle of the night until the emergency response from the gas company came and fixed it. They later told us that this handyman had needed a permit before he should have moved our pipes. Dangerous!
Description of Work: He moved our washroom from one room to another adjacent room. Please excuse the date, I am unsure when this occurred. I just remember that it was cold, and this is a good enough approximate date considering that it doesn't stay cold in Bakersfield for very long.

I have attempted to contact this member, with no success. I remember this job very clearly. She asked me if this could be done on a small budget. This house has been worked on many times over the years. I act removed some plastic pipes that someone had used to run a gas line. I wish the member had contacted me when this happened for I would have done the repairs for free, if it was my work that failed. I find it hard that it was anything that I did. This house is in very poor shape and in need of much repair. It is so hard to defend a report that I didn't have a chance to see what failed. Jim Witmyer
