He was very courteous, efficient and explained what the job was. He did what he said he would do within the time frame I needed. I am going to rehire him for some additional projects but he is totally booked so I have to wait for him to schedule it. I will use him again in the future.

Over the past several years, we had accumulated a pretty healthy list of things we wanted to fix, but that I never found time to fix or didn't know where to start. So I finally turned to Angie's List and found Tim Jackson there. I saw all of Tim's great reviews so I sent him an email asking for a quote. He was on vacation at the time and yet he replied promptly to let me know when he would be back so we could schedule an estimate. During the estimate/review, he was very thorough in taking notes on all of the projects we wanted to do. While he was doing work for us, he was very good at communicating with us (my wife and I were both at work). He is very good at asking the right questions and making sure he knows what you want. What I also appreciated is that when Tim wasn't the right person for a particular job (e.g. electrical work), he would bring in someone he knew to do the work or let me know who to contact to make it happen. For the issues that required an electrician, he lined up the electrician himself and a very good one at that. Overall, Tim was awesome! My wife and I both liked him a lot and our kids really liked him too! Given past experience, I would have expected all that work to take more than a week. Tim and his team got it done in 1.5 days! So they work quickly and do a very thorough, high-quality job. It was such a relief to finally get all of these things fixed and gave us a feeling like we had upgraded our house! I will definitely use Tim again in the future and highly recommend him! In fact, I already have a new list of items I need Tim to come fix!

Be forewarned that you have to pre-book Tim because he is so popular. Thankfully we didn't have any emergency so it didn't matter. I think we scheduled 2 weeks in advance with him. He was super prompt and showed up with 2 extra men to help out which was great because they were in and out pretty fast. All of the work was done perfectly and quickly with no hassle. Would highly recommend his services and will use him again in the future. He isn't the cheapest, but he was definitely worth it.

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Tim and his guys and will absolutely use his services again whenever we have a need. Here are some of the highlights: Tim was highly responsive. Despite being on vacation (out of the country) when we contacted him, he promptly got back to us to schedule a time for both a quote and to do the work. Tim was informative. At every step along the way he made sure we understood the work he and his team would undertake, what would be involved, how much it would likely cost, and alternatives we could consider. Tim is highly conscientious. He made sure his crew paid attention to detail and even pointed out to me a very minor (almost indistinguishable) flaw in one of the doors after it had been hung, and gave us a discount on the door without my even asking for it. Tim's crew was neat, fast and unobtrusive. They picked up after themselves and worked in a busy house full of people and small children in a way that made it seem as though they weren't even there. In closing, I have two words for you: HIRE TIM.
Description of Work: We engaged Tim to replace an interior bedroom door and to repair a broken pocket door in our kitchen. Here's the specific work that was completed: Remove broken interior hollow core door. Prep, stain and hang new hollow core door and install new handle and strike plate Replace interior doorknobs on two other doors Fix derailed sliding pocket door by removing door frame, removing obstruction in the wall, and adjusting interior hardware to ensure the door opened and closed properly Cosmetic clean up work after doors were fixed/replaced (sanding, replacing molding, trim painting, etc) Bonus: fixed exterior gate release button in entryway. We didn't originally hire Tim to do this, but we had him fix it while he was on site.

A great experience. The hole had been cut to repair leaking pipes -- this had been a huge inconvenience for the tenant, and we wanted to patch up the hole as soon as possible. Our "regular" handyman was out of town, and we found Tim on Angie's List. Tim was able to fit us into his schedule right away, and he couldn't have been more professional. The quality of the work was outstanding.

I called Tim the last week in July and he made an appointment to come by the next day to assess the work that needed to be done. He was very clear in how he was going to perform the work, and the materials and tools he already had so that I did not have to go out and buy paintbrushes, drop clothes, etc. He told me that a man named Marco would come to assist him with the work. He was very clear about how much he charged per hour, which was well within my limit that I had budgeted. Tim made an appointment for 9:00 on Monday August 1st and was very punctual. They were able to put the first coat of paint on the wall and do as much of the other work that they could complete. Tim let me know that they would be coming in at 9:00 on Tuesday to compete all of the work. He and Marco were again extremely punctual. All of the work was finished by early afternoon and my room looks amazing. I never look forward to hiring handymen to come into my house to work. I worry if they can be trusted to actually do the work I need to have done without overcharging me. My whole experience with Tim and Marco changed that. I know who to call when I have jobs to be done. I will call Tim and Marco. What a wonderful experience this was!
Description of Work: Did: Sanded and painted large bedroom. Fixed the door jam which included taking off the damaged wood, putting on a new one, sanding, caulking and painting the door jam. Replacing door knob system. Installing large ceiling fan. Mounting flat screen tv on the wall. Mounting tv component shelves. Fixing light fixture in basement. Hauling out old furniture. Hauling out boxes.

Tim and Marco were great! While they were here, I kept finding new things for them to do and they were happy to do them. Tim went out of his way to do a quality job on everything. They cleaned up after each project. I could not have asked for better service. I highly recommend them and will use them again!
Description of Work: I had a laundry list of miscellaneous items that needed to be done. Including: the installation of a new toilet, change my address light on the front of the house, fix a small hole in the wall, fix some cracked floor tiles in the kitchen and clear a drain for a utility sink.

We moved into a new home and need two desks cut down to fit into a tight space. Tim was very responsive in a continued email exchange as we discussed how it might be accomplished. He was very responsive and accommodating. Prior to his visit we decided to just purchase new desks so we didn't require his services. However, the positive interaction will keep him on our list for the next time we need a handyman. Give him a call.

The overall experience went very well. He did all in one day. He and his partner did a good job. He is a quality handyman. He charges quality price. Supposedly, he does it really well.
Description of Work: I hired Tim Jackson two weeks ago for handyman work. He upgraded my rain gutters, so the leaves don't get in there. He fixed the door jammed that was rotted out. He helped to replace the garden lights that had gone bad. He did touch up paintings around my house.

This is the third time I have worked with Tim and every time he has done an excellent job. He is great about communicating with me via email to arrange our appointment. He shows up on time and is thoughtful about his approach to a project. This time he saved me money by finding a way to repair the existing enclosure rather than needing to install a new enclosure. While he was here he took care of some other minor repairs around the house as described above. Tim always does a good job on the project, is careful not to damage anything during the work and leaves the project neat and clean. I am glad to know him and will hire him again when the next home improvement project comes up.
Description of Work: Exterior water heater enclosure installation, level medicine cabinet and anchor hand rail on stairway. The water heater for my house is outside, on the back deck and needed an enclosure to protect it from the weather. Tim was able to fix the existing enclosure, saving me the cost of a replacement enclosure. While he was here he also fixed the medicine cabinet in my bathroom so the cabinet door stays put when it's open and he re-attached the hand rail in the stairway.

Each time that Tim performed work at my house i was completely satisfied. When necessary, he would come over and give a complete and accurate estimate of the scope of the work to be performed and then would follow through in a manner consistent with his estimate. He showed up on time for each project, cleaned up after the work was done each day and was a complete pleasure to have around the house. The quality of his work is quite high and he knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: Over the last 4 or 5 years Tim has performed a number of different kinds of work at my house from painting entire rooms, touch up work, installing light fixtures, removing wallpaper, hanging unwieldy pictures, installing banisters, and perhaps more that i can't actually remember.

Tim showed up on time, with an equally professional co-worker. After examining the problem, and explaining what he thought was needed to me (something he did every step of the way), he went off to get needed supplies, while the co-worker started to work. Almost instantly, the co-worker tackled the electrical issue, and had it completely solved so quickly that it was long done before the first hour elapsed. They worked hard, but ultimately, half-way through the first day, determined that the first plan of attack, re-mounting the cabinets on the wall, was not a safe choice. They came up with a second, superior plan, which I now wish I'd had here all along, giving me twice the space I had before. He was very kind about the extra hours they put in, doing, un-doing, and re-doing the job, not charging me for their time the way others might have, and came back early the next morning, making everything perfect in no time at all. I look forward to having him come back soon to make over my closets.
Description of Work: Some of my built-in cabinets had torn away from the wall and created a major disaster. This also included cutting off power to the alcove where the cabinets were located, even though I certainly had no clue why a falling cabinet would cause such a problem. The electricity issue was essential, because I use the space as my "work-at-home" office, and thus need to plug in lots of do-hickeys.

Tim was responsive, thorough, and professional throughout the course of our interaction. He and his employee arrived exactly when they said they would and were courteous and respectful the whole time they were in my home. The projects were relatively simple, but he was diligent about getting the details right and was communicative when issues came up. He even made a point of teaching me how to turn off the gas to our home in the event of an earthquake -- just for my own education and benefit -- and explaining the difference between the old lath and plaster walls I have and sheet rock walls in newer houses. He has a minimum charge for 3 hours of work, and I gave him a B on pricing just because I didn't need all that time. But I definitely still think that he's a great value and intend to hire him again for future projects!
Description of Work: We had several projects in our apartment that needed to be tackled: - rotating a gas pipe that feeds our stove - installing a shelf - replacing a wall sconce light fixture in our bathroom - removing a large, old curtain rod and hanging a new one

He came to look at the projects, gave us an estimate of how long it would take and how much it would cost, then made an appointment to do the work. He brought a helper, and the two of them worked well together. He came when he said he would, worked quickly and effectively and sent us a detailed invoice when we asked for it. He is cheerful, capable and thoroughly professional. We'll hire him again when we need his services.

Tim did a great job from start to finish. He was on time for our estimate appointment, professional and knowledgable about what needed to be done. He explained how the work would be done, his rate and how long the work would take. He also responded to questions via email and was easy to reach by phone when I needed clarification and to confirm our installation appointment. He arrived early for the installation appointment, worked slightly longer than he estimated but only charged for the estimated amount of time. Tim followed the instructions I left for him and found a better way to route the vent pipe that allows more usable storage space than I thought was possible. The vent includes about 18 feet of ridig 4" pipe, all firmly attached and fully taped closed. He left the work area clean and orderly with the only addition being my shiny new dryer vent. The job looked good when he left and I was happy to give him my check. Tim followed up via email letting me know he would stop by to seal the exterior vent and he followed through within the week. This was unexpected and very welcome. He is responsible and thoughtful about his work in addition to be a creative troubleshooter. His rate may be a little higher than others, but the results and follow through are definately worth it. I will hire him again for my future projects and recommend him to my friends and fellow Angie's List subscribers.
