James Handyman Services

Beware, this guy is very unprofessional, rude, and is a scammer. He doesn't have a business card and won't give his last name. He refused to give an estimate for his work despite multiple requests. He and his assistant fixed a leak on the roof, some indoor ceiling damage, and re-cemented a few bricks outside. Then he argued loudly for an unreasonably high price before leaving for the day. I gave him less than he asked for, but more than he deserved, and he refused to come back to finish the job (paint touch up). I would not hire him again and do not recommend him. FYI his real name is Sherwin James Hines.

He called and made an appointment for 3PM to give an estimate and never showed or called again - I found someone elsewhere to do the work.

This is, by far, the most unprofessional, disrespectful, unintelligible handyman that I have ever had the displeasure of having to work with and my family has been in the construction business my entire life! In my first encounter, he came to my home to change out a bathroom fan vent/light combo and was unable to figure out the wiring, for which I was successfully able to complete within an hour by watching one youtube video and a trip to our local ACE hardware store. Not rocket science really! Bottom line, I don't have the time to do the work myself, thus the reason for contacting a handyman. This was so frustrating and disappointing that I had forgotten this person's name and information. Obviously, he had not made a very good impression the first time. Needing further assistance, I pursued Angie's list for a handyman for a fireplace demo and contacted the first person on the list (not recognizing the name) and, what do you know...there he was at my door once again! So, I thought to myself, since this was a different project (and not electrical work), I would give him another chance. After providing a quote that was WAY OVER PRICED, the then proceeded to ask for $30 for coming out to the house to provide the quote. This was never pre-discussed when making the appointment. When I questioned this, his response was, "I didn't know that I had to tell you?" Then he started yelling at me in front of my home. Bottom line folks, DO NOT USE THIS HANDYMAN FOR ANYTHING EVER!!!!!! Oh and one more thing....the man pee'd on the side of my home after failing to perform the fan job. This was after spending hours in the bathroom. Seriously????
