This is my first time hiring from Angie’s List and I’m extremely satisfied with the meticulous work, professionalism, and the ability to improvise and execute! We realistically know our limitations and installing a screen door perfectly and working.....not in our wheel house. James communicated quickly, arrived on time, and was very respectful to our home ( picking up wrappings, not throwing tools on the wood floors, taking time to reassure our pets of his friendliness....little things that make a difference). His work was thorough and complete! DEFINITELY HIRE JAMES ALTMAN because we will for anything else we need!!!

James is very thorough and professional--he also arrived on time. After repairs were done he checked all of them twice before he left, to ensure everything is working as they should. He pays close attention to details. Due to my experience, I highly recommend him, without hesitation.
He was attentive to detail. I had him move something and he went back and spackled and painted and did everything to the old holes so that nothing was visible and it was fantastic. My husband is very particular about those things. He didn't just cover it up, he did it right. He is better than the builders.
Description of Work: He put 3 bookshelves together and a fixed them to the wall. He did some furniture anchoring and curtain hanging. He installed ceiling fans and cabinet magnets and more random stuff that needed to be done,.

Price is A+. He has very high quality and very attentive to detail. I would have expected a few more things done in the time that he had but he took his time and that was okay. He made sure everything was done and cleaned up properly. That part of it was way more than I expected. I was okay with maybe the number of tasks not being quite as many as I expected. I'd much rather have the quality than quantity. He was here from 10 to 6 perhaps. He just gets right to it and takes care of business. I work from home and he doesn't really interrupt me or bother me or anything like that. I gave him a list and he went at it.
Description of Work: He put up a couple ceiling fans. He did light installation. Put up some curtains and shelves.

Did a great job and did not try to overprice - he was very fair for the work that he did. I am going to have him work on another project for me and would highly recommend him to anyone who needed simple and 'tougher' work done.
Description of Work: He was able to solve a problem about wrapping some deck poles that I had anticipated would be harder, given information from other folks. He also fixed a three window sill, which had been installed improperly. Was very impressed with his knowledge.

I have never used profanity on any job I have done. I have done several jobs for this client I do not understand the animosity towards me. I was unaware they were unhappy until this review.

Mr. Altman is one of the most prepared and professional people ever to work on my home. His initial response to my inquiry was prompt and courteous. He arrivec a few days later and did all the work efficiently and effectively, including picking up needed hatdware at Home Depot. All went very smoothly and it's likely we'll ask James to return for additional work. He charged only $65/hr and can do almost anything. Extremely pleased!
Description of Work: Replaced inside door hardware on three doors and adjusted another, and all open and close properly now. He also discussed other prospective projects.

Never got to meet him. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but he never called me back after he said he would check his calendar. I tried again a few days later and had to leave a message. It's been a week and he never called. I hope you have better luck if you try him. I wouldn't try again.

Mr. Altman was extremely helpful. After talking with him my son and I decided not to install a dog door because we did not know we were unable to install it where we wanted. He quickly fixed the gate and installed the blinds and weatherstripping. He is a very nice man and very knowledgeable. I will call him again when I have other things I need to repair or replace. I will definitely recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Repair of gate, blinds and weatherstripping on back door and a dog door.
James was punctual and professional. He solved 2 long-standing issues that another handyman could not solve before him. This is because he is quite resolute in getting to the bottom of a problem. His knowledge and problem-solving skills are quite evident if you observe his work.

Mr. Altman did a great job of replacing the old toilets in our house He also fixed some minor plumbing and electrical problems--all at a fraction of the cost for a plumber and electrician. He was HONEST in his insights, explained things well and meticulously, and fixed things simply and cheaply rather than turning them into big-ticket projects. I will definitely call him again next time I need a handyman.
