We agreed on $194.00 for all five jobs. He did not complete all the jobs, yet he charged me the same amount for only three. I would like a refund for the two jobs he did not complete, or fix them.

I am not sure why you would give a "C" report. I waived my service call of $69.00. because I couldn't determine the cause. I am glad that another handyman was able to determine the problem.

An eyesore of a wheelchair ramp, and porch needed to be removed from a mobile home I recently purchased. New stairs would also have to be built. I contacted Mr Fix-it, Jim Witmyer by email through the Angies List website. I received a response in about 5 days, and an appointment for a quote was set up 3 days later. Mr Witmyer came at the time agreed for the quote, (no waiting around) and we discussed the services I wanted to have performed. After a pleasant conversation, in which I received a free tip on how to paint a fence, I received a verbal quote for $1200, and this was followed up later that day with a written quote by email. After informing Mr. Witmyer that I would go ahead with the work, an appointment was set up within a week. I was informed of the time frame that the work would take (about 9 hours) and the arrival time of the work crew (8:30AM). By noon, the old ramp and unwanted porch sections were all gone, and construction of the stairs and rails began. I had only asked for a very simple set of stairs and ramps, and that is exactly what I received. Upon completion around 5:00PM, the work area was cleaned up and presentable. Mr .Witmyer had contacted me while the project was underway, informing me that the initial quote of $1200, would be reduced to $1100, which was a welcome surprise. The whole process was hassle free from start to finish and even afterwards a 5% discount that is offered for new Angies List customers, which was inadvertently missed during the process, was offered by Mr Witmyer. My experience went well, no complaints. I will definitely enlist their services for future projects when needed. For the work that I had done (stair construction and demolition work), I would recommend to others, that Mr. Fix-it Home Repair & handyman be considered.
Description of Work: Removed an existing porch and ramp, constructed a set of new wooden stairs and rails.

Jim and his crew are extremely professional, arrive on time, and don't fool around wasting time and money. They are skilled craftspeople who know how to get the job done. They are also personable and friendly, and take the time to offer alternative solutions or explain how the work is going to be done. Their hourly rate is higher than most, but you get what you pay for. So when I checked "C" above for price, that means fair, as in a fair price. Mr. Fixit has done work for us several times over the past two years, and it has always been A+, so we are happy to pay a bit more and have the job done right the first time. Jim's admin assistant is also very pleasant, organized, and knows her stuff. We will continue to use Mr. Fixit for any and all repairs around here! There isn't much they can't do.
Description of Work: Fixed many things around the house, from big jobs to small. Woodworking, fabricating, tile repair, installation of screen door mechanism, several other things.

I am not sure why we never answered your call. I have someone in the office from 9:00 am until 4:00pm. When someone is not in office the phone is forwarded to me. I check my phone for a message and did not find one from a [member name removed]. There was one message of which I could not understand,, but it came from a private (blocked) number so I was unable to return the call. Sorry for the frustration, if you like, please respond through Angie's list and I will call you back, please leave a contact number.

The owner's worker came out, found out what parts were needed, got the parts and installed within about 1.5 hours. He was a little late, but did not charge me more than what was quoted before we started. I do appreciate he bought a whole case of bulbs, but only charged me for the one he used. Nice people to deal with and good service.
Description of Work: Replaced two ballasts and four florescent bulbs in kitchen.

The bathtub still drips and was left unfinished with only one handle which we need to switch back and forth. I have callled several times to try to get the work completed but have not been contacted back. I liked Jim's personal attitude but I feel that he doesn't come through with his promises and I felt that the job he left us with was completely unprofessional. We were extremely disappointed.

Response from Mr Fix-It Home Repair & Handyman
I am not sure why you have not been able to get a response from me. I have received no phone calls from you. As we last left your handles, I was trying to find you a handle set that would work with your faucet that is very old. I will have my office call you to set up another time to come out and address your concerns. When I left the faucet was not leaking, if it is leaking again, then we would have to go to the plan we discussed. That is to replace the valve in the wall. That was something you didn't want to do, because it would require the demolition of the old tile, and you did not want to damage or change the look. If you have been un-happy I had not heard that. Since I stand be-hind my work, and the problem is not fixed, then I would refund what you paid. And you can then proceed in another direction.

When he didn't show up for the estimate, we called him and he said he got tied up with something and would be on his way soon. When he finally arrived, he seemed nice enough. He left telling us he'd get back to us with an estimate yet never did.

Response from Mr Fix-It Home Repair & Handyman
I am sorry you didn't receive the estimate. I remember we discussed the price in person, and that I would send a email. After checking my records, I did send an estimate. So either I had the wrong email or it went into spam land. If we don't get a "mail delivery failure" notice, we assume it was sent. I usually do not do phone follow-ups for two reasons. 1. If a quote was received, I am not one to call the quote to follow-up. I look at this as hounding, I do not like that done to me, I will not do that to my clients or potential clients. 2. If for some reason a quote was not received, traditionally they would call to inquire. It is a fine line between hounding and follow-up. Also, with the amount of quotes that we do we have found that most people will call if they are really interested in the work being done. I again, am sorry I didn't provide the level of service that you expected. Concerning the late arrival, Our commitment is making every appointment, everyday. We do run behind. When all appointments are set they are set for a 1 hour window. We do try to call if we are going to be late. I can not recall the time frame for you appointment,

Mr. Fix It was great! I called on Saturday morning and was not expecting to get anyone out that day, but HAD TO. When they heard my situation they squeezed me into their schedule. They helped me replace a window on a Saturday! Normal people can't do that. They were very professional, fast, and accommodating. I will be using Mr. Fix It frequently.

waited for his email on Wednesday did not receive anything, so I gave it till Thursday did not get anything still, I called his office left a message reminding him I needed his quote to send it to the insurance adjuster, to please give me a call or send me the quote by email. I called again on Friday left another message, his secretary called me back and I told her I needed this quote asap, she said that she would let him know and that I should hear from him on Monday. Well today is Monday and still have not heard from him by call or email. I paid the $9.00 to join the membership and got nothing. I would like my money returned. I was able to find someone else who came out Friday and dropped off his quote today here with me.
Description of Work: Ji,came on the day he said he would, looked our door and said he would email me his quote and if I did not hear from him by Wednesday to give him a call. He was very pleasant and talked about how important communication was and I agreed.

Response from Mr Fix-It Home Repair & Handyman
I am sorry for the delay in getting the quote to you. One of the reasons this quote took a little longer is that it was an insurance claim. Yes, I did want to get it to you sooner than I did. In order to give an accurate estimate of comparable doors and hardware, for the insurance company, it just took longer than expected. But again, the bottom line is My company did not give you the service you expected. I appreciate you taking the time to review my company. I will take your critique to make changes in the process in order to improve. Thanks for helping my company to get better.

I contacted the company on Monday, we scheduled an appointment for the following day. Day of, I was contacted in advance of the appointment to confirm and he arrived as scheduled. We discussed options and he provided recommendations as well as listened to my specific requests. Overall an excellent experience. I put price as good because wouldn't we all like things like this to cost less??? But the final bill matched the quote exactly with no adders or change orders. Would definitely hire again.

The technician called when he was on his way. On that particular morning the smoke alarms decided to start conversing with each other. Unable to reach one of the smoke detectors I asked the technician if he had a tall ladder pretty much as soon as I opened the door. He did. He offered to replace the battery but that didn't work on another smoke detector so I just asked him to take it out. Favor number 1. While he and the other technician were working one one of the four bedrooms I asked if he could measure and cut a chair rail I attempted to put up in my daughters room and gave up on. Favor number 2. We had the chair rail and I figured he would just cut it and leave it to me to put up, which a would have been fine. He measured, cut and installed the chair rail and it matches the baseboards. It looks great. Better than I could have done. Once the baseboards were done, they caulked and sanded them. We've had other baseboards installed in the main living areas of the house and the installation of those didn't quite measure up. They weren't as thorough when cleaning up and left chucks of baseboards on the floor with some other debris, but with the extra favors they did, I'm completely satisfied. Hopefully we won't need more baseboards In the future, but if we did, I know who to call.

A couple of days prior to the Saturday appt., I called to ask if I could add grouting around the toilets to the job and was told by the person answering the phone it would have to be a separate job with a separate trip charge. Not a "general handyman" in my opinion, which is what I need.
Description of Work: Had an appointment between 8:30 and 9:30 am. Jim called at 9:25 am to let me know the person who was to do the job was sick and the other person could not do it. Gave them a "D" because he did call back about 10:00am to say he found someone else, although I had already called Don's Mobile Locksmith and the job was underway.

[Member name removed], I am so sorry we could not arrived as scheduled. This does happen at times. I wanted to push your appointment back to afternoon, and you stated that would not work. I then asked if we could reschedule for Monday morning, that also would not work. I then told you I would call you back. 20 min. later I called back to let you know I was able to arrange a tech to be there by 10:30, You stated that you had already called someone else. I am sorry that we were unable to accommodate your schedule. Just a comment about the statement that you could not add to the job with grouting. There must have been a misunderstanding, because we always allow adding, if time permits. The only thing that I can think of is, you asked if we could fix at least the gate on Sat., so we squeezed you in. Our Sat. was already full, and you were thankful we could fit you in. But apparently we did not make it clear that the start time is an approximate start time.

I contacted provider for a quote, unfortunately the provider does not service the Fresno area anymore. But he was very responsive, and e-mailed me about 10 minutes later, then after a phone call, he told me that he won't be able to provide services since he's only in Bakersfield. I thought the services were professional and prompt, he didn't ignore my request.

All work was done as specified on the day scheduled at the time scheduled. Everyone who came to my house both for the estimate and the actual work was polite and friendly and maintained a business atmosphere through out. They seemed very capable and well informed about their work. They finished more quickly than the estimator thought they would and the price was adjusted accordingly. I will use their service again.

Mr. Fix-It and his crew did an incredible job refinishing my garage. I had been a little afraid of it every since I moved in, a number of years ago. It was only finished to the studs-and-tar-paper stage, and the cement on the floor had begun to crumble in places. It was dark, dirty, and had creepy-crawlies in it. His team drywalled the two exposed walls, put in a drop ceiling, new fluorescent lights, and a new door opener, and plastered and painted the walls. They also installed several storage cabinets, which were sorely lacking. The final step was the refinish the floor, to make it smooth, put a coat of some nice tan refinishing material on it. The difference is AMAZING! No more creepy-crawlie!. It's as nice as a guest room. Thank you, Mr. Fix-It!
