HE REWIRED OUR ENTIRE NEWLY PURCHASED, PREVIOUSLY EXISTING HOME FOR PHONE SERVICE. THE PHONE LINES THAT WERE IN THE HOUSE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT WERE INOPERABLE AND SELF-INSTALLED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER (THEY HAD 9 DIFFERENT PHONE LINES/NUMBERS COMING IN TO THE HOUSE EACH WITH THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL PHONE JACK). HE REWIRED THE ENTIRE HOME IN A MATTER OF A COUPLE OF HOURS AND WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. IF WE EVER NEED ANY PHONE LINE SERVICE AGAIN WE WILL USE ''THE RETIRED PHONE MAN''

HE PUT ON A PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT INCORRECTLY. HE HOOKED UP ALL THE WIRES AND DIDN'T CUT THEM CLEANLY. I FELT LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE THERMOSTAT. THE WIRING JOB WAS FINE. IT COST ME AN EXTRA $120 TO HAVE ANOTHER COMPANY COME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT, HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG BUT HE WOULD REFUND ME $20. HE NEVER RETURNED THE MONEY.

GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH JIM. WAS REFERRED TO JIM BY SOMEONE I WORK WITH. COMPANY PROMPTLY REPLIED TO MY VOICEMAIL AND WAS ABLE TO COME THE NEXT DAY TO DO WORK. THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION ON REPLACING A WALL PLATE IN ONE ROOM, BUT THE COMPANY RETURNED THE NEXT DAY TO CORRECT IT AND DID ONE ADDITIONAL PLATE THAT I HAD FOUND FOR FREE. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE SATISFIED. THIS WAS ALL DONE FOR THE PRICE OF A STANDARD SERVICE CALL.
