Jeff of all Trades

Great job by a very reliable, hardworking person! Very prompt response despite the holidays.

He never did anything after he said he would get me the estimate. He never followed through at all.

Once again, Jeff to the rescue. We had a leak that damaged our dining room ceiling - right before the holidays! Jeff was very quick to respond and started work immediately. The work is still ongoing, so I'll update this review later, but high marks for responsiveness, as usual! The other work Jeff has done for us has been high quality, so I expect to be updating this review similarly.

The door replacement went well. Jeff got it, grabbed what he needed, and did the repairs. Due to unique construction it took some extra time, but Jeff was great, as usual.

Jeff did a very nice job. My wife and I are completely satisfied with his work.

We were truly impressed by Jeff's quality of work, punctuality, reliability, and problem-solving abilities. His finished work is beautiful, and he consistently went above and beyond what was asked. We will not hesitate to hire him again. Thanks, Jeff!

He was punctual. Came within the hour. He mounted the picture frame. He was honest. I was very pleased with him. He did an excellent job.

Once again, Jeff to the rescue. I needed to replace (I thought) an exterior door handle and knob (dual-type). Went to Home Depot: the parts are a couple hundred bucks, and I was advised to hire a locksmith. I called Jeff and he came over the same afternoon and with a little ingenuity fixed the one I had - with a hammer and screwdriver he re-bent the faulty part back into place. Then he tried to refuse payment (I'm thinking he mostly likes to come over to play with the dog). he saved us couple hundred dollars, at least, and for the cost of lunch the next day, which I volunteered. Oh, and on the way out, he noticed that our gate latch was broken, and he fixed that too.

Jeff did a great job and arrived ahead of time. He executed the job quickly and efficiently. His assistant Brian Scott was pleasant, professional, and very knowledgeable. Both gentleman did what they said they would and the price was very reasonabl.

Jeff was actually helping me on a small project at home when i received the call that one of my buildings had a gas leak. This was going to shut down my building and i needed somebody to help ASAP. Jeff of all trades does ALL TRADES. When i got off the phone, he said, "yeah i got that." Then we were on our way to the building to check out the damage. He spent the next two days tracking down the leak then finding a way to reconfigure our gas line so we wouldn't have another leak again. Jeff was not only responsive, he pushed back another job because of the absolute priority of this gas leak. He even worked the weekend when most i have seen would say, see you Monday. Jeff had every tool imaginable in his trailer and was absolutely reliable.

Jeff came on short notice in September. I was very pleased that he could make time for me while I was off work. He replaced a broken garbage disposal in the kitchen that now works perfectly. Also replaced kitchen under counter and hanging lights and a ceiling fan. He fixed a glass shower door hinge that has been fixed before and never held- now it is secure. Replaced gait knob hardware that was loose that is now working very well. He is also repairing a broken patio chair. Great attention to detail and very personable. I have hired him do work before and was very satisfied and will again. Highly recommend.

The work was done in a professional manner and was done to my satisfaction. I plan on having Jeff to do some additional work very soon.

I had some improvements done on a rental property uptown, but I needed a driveway gate removed because it was the wrong type. I couldn't get the contractor to come back and take it down so I called Jeff. He came out and took it down, removed a wooden gate I needed done, painted two doors then he also took care of a few minor repairs I needed right then and there. He even pointed out a potential problem that he noticed and took care of that too. His reputation is well earned and I've already scheduled him to come back to do some other work for me there.

DIY rescuer. Jeff did it again. I found myself doing another DIY project only to find myself in a bit of a mess. Jeff was prompt in response and gave terrific advice. He helped complete a kitchen tile job that would've taken me much longer to do on my own. Jeff should rename his company to Batman Jeff. That guy has more tools, gizmos and gadgets in his trailer than batman has in his cave. The reason i needed Jeff was for some tricky pieces, but without the right tools it created more than a problem for me. Batman Jeff showed up and out came the exact tools necessary to finish, tools i had never seen before, i might add. If you need something done and done right, call Jeff.

Jeff was great! He was easy to reach and worked with me on a good time to meet a few days later. He showed up on time with an entire trailer of tools, so the guy is prepared for anything. He replaced my pendant lights (better than they were hung before) with no problem. He came back the next morning to pressure wash, and showed up at the exact time he said he would. Super nice guy, knows his stuff. Will definitely be calling on Jeff again in a few weeks when I need some more help.

very well; looks great, much more secure than before for eight hurricane shutters. anticipating he will come back in a few days to finish the improvements on the inside of the shutters.

Jeff returned to put a second coat of varnish on our antique door. I wasn't home, and there was some misunderstanding about whether or not the account had been paid. My wife says Jeff was very polite and gracious and did not charge for this follow-up service. He could have pressed the issue (it was about $75), and my wife probably would have written him a check, but he didn't. Which means we'll be calling him again. I have a porch that needs painting... And the door looks great, by the way.

I couldn't be there unexpectedly, but had family at the house. As always, Jeff's work was extremely high quality and was everything we could have asked for and more. Jeff is a great value and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality handyman. We will 100% use Jeff for the next set of work we need completed.

Extremely well. Contacted Jeff on Friday morning to get an estimate. Jeff happen to be in our area was made available within 3 hours. After providing an estimate of $325.00 (excluding materials) - I gave Jeff the job. Jeff and his assistant follow me to Home Depot to pick up the materials (deck board, screws, etc.) which I paid. Jeff loaded all of the materials in his trailer and haul same to my house on the same day. On our scheduled Tuesday morning, Jeff and his assistance started ripping up the old deck boards, installed support boards over the open area of deck, and installed new deck boards. Also, he replaced a few old deck boards. The job lasted a day. Once the job was done, they pick all of the old deck boards and cleaned up the entire area.Jeff was very nice and easy to talk to. He did an excellent job in repairing the deck - and we are very pleased with his workmanship.

In South Louisiana, we have a tradition called “Lagniappe” meaning something extra. What corporate types called “added value.” Like when your dad used to take you to the hardware store, and when he bought a pound of nails, the shopkeeper would throw in an extra scoopful. This was my second time using Jeff for handyman services; I made a list of work that we agreed would take about a day, at his regular daily rate. While he was working, he found other items that needed attention….some of them were things that I would obviously want done (making the shower drain not leak into the crawl space), others, like upgrading the weather stripping on the front door, he called me to get my input, and took care of it during his regular workday. My home was a big investment for me and I am not a particularly observant person, so it helps a lot to know that Jeff has my back on stuff--though I did wonder where the water under the house was coming from, scout’s honor! So in short, with Jeff you get lagniappe.

Jeff has done many projects at my house and church that have ranged from painting to tile and trim installation. His work is always impeccable. This time I was installing my own tile but had a few questions. Jeff was very knowledgable and helpful in offering advice and even lent me all his tools to use.

Jeff was great! He took my call on Labor Day weekend and came out right away. He met me at a time that was convenient for my work schedule and looked at the issue. He pointed out a few other things around that needed attention and even climbed up in the attic to look around. I had a water alarm that I had meant to install and never got around to it, he took it and had it up and in place without even asking. When he came back to do the work on my windows he showed me all the areas that needed attention, showed me how I could fix it myself and offered to come back and help when the time was right. He was extremely knowledgable and could not have been more helpful. I would recommend him to anyone needing some help.

Jeff was very quick to respond to the original request and gave a realistic estimate. We set a date for less than a week later, and then he called to say he was available even earlier. I was available, so he arrived that day and completed the work rather quickly and it was done well: we had a storm not long after and not a single window leaked. Moreover, Jeff said that if they do leak in the future, he'll be back to fix it, gratis. Part of our wood siding was damaged, and he just fixed it - that didn't show up on the invoice. He also had some good suggestions about other potential problems he saw, but I didn't feel any sales pressure. He listened well to some other home improvement ideas I suggested and provided advice. His pricing was transparent, even providing the original receipt for materials, with no markup. The price was reasonable and fair - he could have stayed around to raise the hourly labor cost, but he did the job quickly instead. He also had dog treats in his shirt pocket, which was thoughtful and fun.

Jeff came out to give a quote on some work we needed done to the house. When he was there, he saw that the we had a huge pool of water forming from the buried in-ground pool we had just had dug up. The water was starting to get pretty gross and after all the rain we had new New Orleans, it was getting pretty full. The water was around 4 feet deep and 50*pi circumference. It was a lot of water. I had planned on renting a pump and trying to coordinate pumping and filling, but he said not to worry and brought his pump the next morning and let me keep it until we are able to fill the hole in case any more rain comes. I still have the hole, but there are no mosquitoes and whatever other things were living in the makeshift pond. Plus, Jeff saved the trip and coordination of renting a pump all without me even asking.

Jeff delivers what he promises - sound work in a variety of trades at an affordable and predictable price. All of the work was performed to expectations -- the grout repair was done so well that I could not tell where the issues had been. Because Jeff works off hard money bids mostly, he is geared for efficiency. He comes to the job site with all the materials and has a well stocked and well organized trailer with various tools and supplies. None of this running back and forth to the store or back to the shop all day. He also sends pictures of the repairs so that you can see what was done in inaccessable areas of the house and can have them for your files. Jeff also noticed other things and brought them to my attention (loose vent in attic for example). This is just what I was looking for and why I went with a one-man shop. I wanted one person who could assess conditions, make recommendations, provide a hard money bid with an explanation of any unknowns that could result in additional cost, and carry out the work. Jeff did most of the work when I was not home and I had no worries about leaving him a key. One note is that anytime you deal with a one-man shop, you have to be flexible on scheduling. This is normal and to me it's worth it not to deal with an army of estimators, project managers, schedulers, and technicians and individual service calls for each problem. I have already emailed Jeff another to-do list.
