Description of Work: We had Dan and Doug out to give us an estimate on re-doing our basement after a flood issue. At the same time I was having guests coming in another two weeks who would be staying in a lower level bedroom. Dan arranged for Don to complete a drop ceiling makeover and do other various jobs around the house to prepare. He was scheduled very soon thereafter and did a marvelous job. He changed out fluorescent lighting to can lighting and changed out multiple outlets. He installed most of the new ceiling tiles and I completed the rest. The next day he came back to power wash the walks and patio and replace a pantry handle and install an updated phone jack. He also found a hole in the wall of our attached garage and filled it with foam spray. Very hard worker and well worth every penny spent. Thank you Just Fix It!!

Description of Work: Just Fix it came out and figured out why we were having water leaking from the upstairs bathroom into our kitchen. We had previously had another plumber come out and look at it but said it was something else so it was never completely fixed. They also did a few odd jobs that we just hadn't gotten to. They also weather stripped the doors. If we need something else, we will be calling them

Description of Work: Michael called arrived on time. He replaced a cracked and leaky toilet flange, removed a a toilet seat riser, and fixed two door knob/strikers. He brought a new toilet ring with him but it was the wrong part. He had to run to Home Depot to get the new flange. Home Depot is at least a 15 minute drive and this ate up a little over an hour. Total time charged was 3.5 hours plus parts.

I have used Doug and his company several times in the past. This time around Dan, Doug's son responded and quoted me 400-600 for the initial work. I asked for few additional things including caulking of the bath etc and I expected to pay 2 days worth of work. Shaun completed all the things requested although he did call me to say he had to cut out more drywall to get the fan in but he ultimately managed to get it up there. He cleaned up after he left and also left me the receipts of the home depot materials. He was conscientious enough to call back mentioning he had made a mistake on the final bill and I adjusted my check accordingly. It is a pleasure to work with Doug's company. Only thing I would request is that they clarify a day ahead what time they would have some one in and out for the work. I was somehow assuming Shaun would be showing up earlier in the morning around 9 am and that I would be showing him around the areas that needed work. Since he came in around only after 11 am on both days, we worked everything over phone and he left around 6 PM. Nevertheless, they charged me only 750 for the time spent and not the 800 I was expecting so that was fine. The work was done very well, as always. This is one company I can trust with my home keys with. Maybe I said that earlier too.

The issue with this company is not in the quality of their work but rather in their ability to accurately estimate/quote a job. Originally we asked for a quote that also included replacing a 10' x 4' section of siding on the side of the house. We decided not to have that portion of the original estimate completed. When the job was finished I was shocked to receive an invoice for an amount that was almost as much as the original quote, even though I did not have them complete the biggest portion of the work. The owner claimed that the job took longer than expected and that his quote was just an and quot;estimateand quot; of how long it would take to complete. He said that quotes could not be exact or his company would lose money on a job that took longer then estimated. There was nothing that came up unexpectedly that would have caused the job to take longer. I was billed for the time of 3 workers and given a copy of receipts for materials used. I could not determine from the copies of receipts which materials were used or even if the materials were used on my home repair. Additionally, there was lots of idle time spend by the workers. .
Description of Work: Removed, painted and replaced trim around single car garage door. Removed, painted and replaced one 10' x 4'' piece of trim on corner of house. Built and installed new double shed doors. Replaced and secured 3 gutter hangers on side of house.

Response from Just Fix It!! Inc
The customer did decide not to replace the 10 * 4 foot piece as she said, instead she had us replace three smaller sections and a piece of trim that required us to remove and replace the downspouts which most likely took us almost as much time as the one piece would have taken to install. Yes, the job was bid as an estimate because of the rotted wood which was stated not once but twice in the e-mail we sent her with the price. I have a copy on file if anyone would ever like to see it. We try our best to stick to our estimates and if we run into major problems we let the customer know. We estimated $300.00 in parts and offered to give them copies of the receipts which means we didn't mark up any of the parts. Actual parts were about $285.00 which we gave copies, to which say says..."i could not determine if the materials were used on my home repair". Some people you just can't make happy. All I can say is we are an honest company, we do good work and don't rip people off.

The tech arrived later than expected. Performed the tasks well, although it took longer than expected (3.5 hrs). Was charged an hourly rate, so ended up quite expensive, IMO. The work done: hung two mirrors (underestimated weight and therefore wire snapped as it was being hung, rehung using the eyelets that came with the wire) , re-fixed a wooden baton that had come loose from the drywall, cut a fabric strap from a tree. I also requested one strip light in garage be removed and the cover attached to another existing light, which had missing cover. In place of the strip light I wanted a pendant light installed. I was informed they'd be back 3 days later to finish the job, but they never turned up or called to rearrange. I emailed Just Fix It today and received prompt apology for not turning up or calling. I've decided to use an electrician to finish the job.

There a couple things [member name removed] forgot to add... We talked with him on Friday and sent a tech out within 24 hours on Saturday at no extra cost because of his e-mail..."I'm in urgent need of the gate being fixed as we have a little one and we're scared of her falling down the stairs, are you available at all this weekend? ". He was very concerned about the baby gate so I had someone out there on their day off to take care of it.

Doug responded to my email query very quickly and gave me an excellent quote for the work. I asked if he could come on a Saturday as I work during the week and he was very flexible. He arrived, completed the work in the time he quoted and at a better rate than anyone else. I was so pleased with his work that I showed him a couple of other jobs in my house that I'd like to have done and he offered great suggestions. I'll definitely call him for these other jobs and any other work I need done. Great guy.
Description of Work: I needed to have three vent covers on the side of my house replaced. These covers were very high, over 20 feet, and I needed someone with a ladder tall enought to reach it. Doug had the appropriate ladder and tools to complete the replacement of the covers.

Doug sent a quick and detailed response to my email inquiry and was able to schedule me right away, at my convenience. He arrived on time and got right to work. He was able to diagnose a problem with the toilet that had actually caused the wax ring to fail-- something a previous handyman was not able to do. This was clearly due to his experience and expertise. His fix was fast and effective. I did not have all the parts needed to install the kitchen faucet, but he quickly bought them from a nearby store, did not charge me for the travel time, and finished the installation with no problems. The light fixture was a little tricky to put together and hang, but he did the job well. Overall, the work all looks great. The price was terrific. And Doug was a very nice guy to work with and have in my home. I would HIGHLY recommend Just Fix It anytime you need a handyman!

The guys showed up on time, got the door out, cleaned it, determined that one of the wheels had a blown bearing, andd put it back together, telling me to get the parts and let them know. (They would have gotten the parts, but I would have had to pay labor for them to go get it.) I need to call and schedule a time for them to come back and put the new wheel assembly on. I'm sure it will be a good experience then, too.

I had asked Doug to do this job for sometime before winter sets in since I did not have any emergent deadline. At that time, he took a look at the attic when he came by for a different job and estimated that it might cost around $500 to do the insulation. This particular room had literally no insulation whatsoever and was clearly feeling cold in the 40s weather. In any case, Doug stopped by 2-3 weeks later and inspected the attic/venting situation with a roofing friend of his. The next day evening he had completed the work, cleaned up, and left me a note with the bill for materials and labor. He even emailed me contrasting before and after pictures. Now the room clearly feel warmer and I am very pleased with the insulation situation. As for the price, it seemed reasonable to me although I admit I am not the kind that shops around aggressively. So I cannot speak for whether what I paid was reasonable or not ($180 parts and $420 for labor). Hence the N/A on the price. Doug is pretty popular on Yelp and generally pretty busy and booked for weeks; so, if you have emergent situations that require same day or next day attention, do not expect him to comply with emergent requests. On the other hand, he is trustworthy and I can leave the keys out for him while I am away without having to worry about the stuff I leave out in the open at home (dollar bills to check books and credit cards). For me, that is priceless.
Description of Work: Blown-in cellulose insulation attic over an upstairs bedroom measuring around 250 sq.ft. Attic access is 1.5x1.5 ft within a closet!
