Description of Work: Got my phone to work when all phones stopped working. He then tried to fix one that had never worked correctly since we moved in. After he got that one working, all the others died again. There were evidently a lot of wiring issues in my house.

WHEN HE CAME OUT TO DO THE WORK IT REQUIRED BRINGING IN THE PHONE COMPANY BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR FAULT AND NEEDED TO BE FIXED BY THEM. JIM HAD TO SPEND HIS TIME AND DIDN'T EVEN CHARGE US FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP CHARGE HE QUOTED. I HOPE THAT NONE OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PHONE SERVICE, BUT IF THEY DO THEY WILL BE CALLING JIM THE RETIRED PHONE GUY TO FIX IT!

HE CAME IN ON A WEDNESDAY, THEN CAME BACK WITH A SECOND HELPER ON SATURDAY TO FIX THE JACK. HE RAN A NEW WIRE THROUGH THE WALL, ACROSS TO THE JACK, AND INSTALLED AN ANTIQUE WALL PHONE. THEY WERE PRETTY PROMPT. IT TOOK HIM A WHILE TO DECIDE HOW TO APPROACH THE JOB, BUT HE EVENTUALLY GOT TO THE RIGHT IDEA, AFTER THEY CAME BACK ON SATURDAY.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JIM WALTERS FOR ANY TELEPHONE OR CABLE OUTLET INSTALLATION YOU MAY NEED. HE IS VERY COURTEOUS, ALWAYS PUNCTUAL AND VERY, VERY NEAT IN HIS WORK. HE TREATED MY HOME AS IF IT WERE HIS OWN. I THINK HIS PRICE IS VERY REASONABLE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE DIFFICULTY IN REACHING SOME WALL AREAS IN OUR TWO STORY, VAULTED CEILING HOME WITH NO CRAWLSPACE. BEING A ''RETIRED TELEPHONE MAN'' HE IS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE FIELD OF TELEPHONE AND CABLE LINES.
Description of Work: MOVE ONE TELEPHONE OUTLET. ADD ONE TELEPHONE OUTLET. ADD TV/COMPUTER CABLE OUTLETS IN FOUR ROOMS.
