Jeff of all Trades

If I could give Jeff an A+, I would! Jeff is a hard-worker and a problem solver. Instead of wasting time complaining about a glitch, he stays positive and comes up with a creative solution. He makes sure the job is done right. His rates are very reasonable - I will definitely recommend him to my friends and will call him again whenever the need arises.

Jeff was great during our garage conversion. He began by promptly responding to our request for a quote to convert the garage into a room/office which included removing the existing garage door, building an exterior wall with french doors to match the remainder of the house, and completing electric outlet installation and sheetrock work. Jeff's price was more competitive than other Angie's lists providers that we requested quotes from and he offered to begin the job sooner than others. Jeff provided a quote for his labor and advised that he would pick up materials for the job and then provide us with the receipt for the materials in order to reimburse him. He never over-charged us for materials needed or used in the job. Jeff showed up each day at the time he advised he would and worked all day. The project went well with Jeff often asking how we wanted aspects of the job to look and then tailoring the job to our needs or requests. Jeff was very personable and cleaned up after his work was completed each day. We were completing a few portions of the garage conversion ourselves (flooring, baseboards, painting) and Jeff even left materials for us to use at no charge and provided advice for finishing the job correctly. I would absolutely recommend Jeff if you are in need of any construction or general contractor needs. We will be using Jeff for future jobs around our house.

Jeff was a tremendous help for us while building a community center in St. Bernard. He painted several very large rooms with 20' walls and ceilings. He did a fantastic job with very little mess. We did our tile ourselves but Jeff was very helpful and volunteered his time and knowledge to assist often. After that we hired him to help with several plumbing projects to complete our facility. Over and over Jeff came through to help us. His experience and advice were extremely beneficial and helped us open a beautiful facility. Jeff always answers his phone and helps us anytime we need it. He is a must hire.

Had a problem to solve with a hot water heater and sent a request for contact on Sunday around noon. Jeff of All Trades responded fairly quickly. After blabbering about his reviews and the reasons he is cheaper than others, he offered to come get the job done within about 2 hours for $200. So I said ok, if my problem will be solved today and I do not have to stay home on Monday dealing with the water heater then fine. Well, it did not happen. I exchanged a few emails with him with info that he wanted and at 12:55pm he announced that he is "out of time for today", that he "made more plans for the day", it's his "day off", "laundry etc", and that we should talk later to have it done the next day (Monday), around 9:00am. Well, never spoke on the phone after that initial time, only emails. I asked him to confirm that we are on for 9am and on Sunday night he responded that it would be a little later (10-10:30) because he was on his way to a service call and he needs his sleep (that's right, earlier he was out of time for my problem). I saw this note Monday morning and got worried about how long I would have to stay in the house and not able to go to the office, so I noted to him that I am not getting a good feeling about his changing the arrangements twice. So at 8 am Monday morning he emailed me that with the above comment I should go ahead and get someone else(!!!) and so he hanged me with my problem and after I had closed the search for a plumber the day before. So I started calling people I knew asking if they could point me to a good and reliable plumber and within two hours the job was completed and at about half the price Jeff of All Trades had asked. Bottom line, he responded quickly, he offered a reasonable price, but did not deliver, and left me back to square one and pressed even more for time. While he brags about his reviews, I did not experience any professionalism to brag about with him and I have no intention to deal with him again.

He gave me a reasonable quote and duration to do the job and I accepted his offer. It would have been a 2-3 day job, but, it rained, so it was longer, but that was OK. He did an excellent job. I was pleased.

All the work was done satisfactory. Additionally, Jeff gave us sound advice on work we were completing ourselves. Jeff was very responsive on emails and communicating when we would come. Jeff's greatest value is his knowledge of building codes and diagnosing problems. Although not the most cost competitive from our estimates, we choose Jeff because we wanted lasting quality work.

Never happened. I contacted Jeff through Angie's List and immediately got a call back. He said his truck was out of service, but he would try to be there in the next couple days. I was instructed to send an email with the address and the work needed to be done. A week later I never heard anything. I followed up with Jeff and he said he was still trying to catch up since his van was out of service but could be here in 4-5 days to do the work. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of not having someone commit to a day that they can do the work. I have to take leave to be here with a service person. I don't think committing to a day is a lot to ask of a service provider. I'm not sure what the real issue is here. I can certainly be understanding of someone having vehicle difficulties, but there was no follow up. I would think people would be interested in retaining business and getting referrals.

Jeff was very prompt in contacting me after I sent him a message on Angie's List. He was professional & courteous, and he was very easy to communicate with via phone & email. Jeff was also very flexible. I initially contacted him to install one ceiling fans. As we spoke, I asked if he could install another ceiling fan at a different location. Without hesitation, he accommodated the request.

When I called Jeff I did not think he would be available for weeks but was pleased that he could schedule time in a few days while I was off from work.. He got back to me very promptly. He and his helper Greg worked all day and returned the next afternoon for a couple of hours to finish. The molding looks great. Exactly what I wanted. The large back patio has not been so clean in many years, my patio furniture has been rejuvenated and I have light outside!. Jeff is very knowledgeable and a really nice person to deal with. I plan to ask him back soon for several additional projects in the electrical and plumbing realms. Highly recommend.

When i called Jeff and told him about my dishwasher that i needed to get installed he came out right away, within an hour. He had all the parts that i needed and was very quick and professional. The price for his service was better then where i got the actual dishwasher. I'd recommend him and use him again for other projects.

Jeff was great. It took us a little while to get him scheduled because he was busy with our projects. He was reliable and came out on time and completed the job. He did a great job and I would use him for other handyman work. Would recommend Jeff to others.

This experience was stress free. Jeff is very dependable and reliable. When he knew he was unable to make our appointment, he promptly called me to let me know so that I could make other plans for my day. He was very accommodating in setting up an alternate day to do the work. He is very knowledgable about doing repair jobs and he is very friendly. Loved hearing his stories. He is very professional and I would highly recommend him to everyone. He is coming back soon to do another job for me. Great job, Jeff!

Mr. Jeff quickly responded to my inquiry through Angie's List, when I came home to a roof leak after work on a rainy Friday. He was not only able to schedule a next day appointment, but he provided advice to mitigate the damage, until he could come out to remedy the situation. On Saturday, he confirmed our appointment and arrived exactly as scheduled. He and a helper completed the repair quickly and for a fair price. I will definitely be using his services for future projects on our first home!

Jeff is not just a "handyman". He's an artist!! His work is top notch because he's a perfectionist. All of our paints and stains were perfectly matched. If he noticed a detail that I had missed, he just went ahead and fixed it. He was very accommodating to our schedule. He was neat while working and cleaned up after himself each day. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again or recommend him to others. As an aside, he was funny and was nice to our dog. Thank you, Jeff. You are a wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made one phone call to Jeff in the morning, and 25 minutes later he was at my door to help. I had only discussed the uncrating with him, but when he noticed what else needed to be done, he jumped in and offered his help. Everything he did was quick, and with extreme caution to delicate items. I would use this guy again in a heartbeat. He also has a very pleasant personality.

Our interaction started off great with a prompt response to my inquiry to set up an estimate. He called me back on the Sunday I left a message. He promised me he would call me Mon, Tues or Wed to meet up in the evening. When I hadn't heard from him by Tues night I sent a reminder email to see when he could come by. He called me and promised to come by Thursday or Friday. I emailed him again Friday morning after no follow up from him (clearly a pattern forming). He responded he would try to be by that afternoon. Then he changed it to Sat at 9am. I got a weird email late Friday night that was clearly intended for another customer and indicated that he would be working at that person's house in the morning. Clearly 9am was not happening. So I emailed him back and he settled on 11:30AM. I told him it couldn't be later as I would be feeding my daughter and putting her down around noon for her nap. He assured me he would be there. He never showed. Extremely unprofessional behavior. I would recommend avoiding him.

I called Jeff yesterday late afternoon in a panic because of what turns out to be faulty work regarding the installation of a shower base in my quest bathroom. Jeff dropped what he was doing and drove to my house in Slidell to take a look. That was absolutely shocking in itself! He got down on his hands and knees and inspected everything that had been done and agreed it was, unfortunately, incorrect. After much discussion and him thoroughly explaining what I was looking at, we agreed on a price of $2,000 for his labor to completely redo my bathroom. This will include him removing the shower base, which was wobbly, and building a shower base the old fashioned way with a frame and mortar, tiling the whole shower, redirect plumbing, installing new vanity, repairing walls and all painting with crown molding, installing vent, tiling floor, etc., etc. I will purchase the supplies and he will make it look beautiful! I can't even begin to tell you how appreciative I am of him taking his time on a Friday afternoon to be concerned about my situation. If this is any indication of his work ethic, I'm not worried at all what my end result is going to be. If you've never used a handyman before and are leery of who to call, look no further. This is your guy! I will write another review when Jeff finishes and rate his work, which I'm sure will be all A's.

Jeff showed up on time and got the lights installed neatly and efficiently. They work perfectly and do just what I wanted them to do. This is the second project Jeff has done for me and it won't be the last.

Jeff showed up early and did a great job with each item on my list. He is very neat, knows how to do everything and is very personable. I made plans to have him return for an additional project.

We use Jeff all the time. He keeps our 1850's cottage running. You call, he comes. We've used him for about a year for every manner of service...tile, plumbing, electric...he even fixed our little girl's bike. He will figure out a way to get it done, highly recommended.

I had an electric range that needed to be relocated across town and up a large flight of stairs. After calling three different handyman services with no luck I found Jeff's number with good reviews on Yelp. He was happy to set up the job and work with my schedule. He arrived early, was very professional and not only did he hook up my range, he was able to troubleshoot a problem with the electrical cord to make it work properly. This saved me a lot of time, money and aggravation. Jeff is licensed, so he can do a wide variety of contractor work with peace of mind for the home owner. Also, he was very generous with sharing knowledge (as a landlady that does a lot of my own work, I always appreciate this). I will definitely be calling him for my next home repair.

All went well. See notes above.

He was very personable and professional. He quickly answered all emails and returned calls quickly. He arrived on time both days and his work exceeded our expectations. He not only did what we asked of him but was helpful when things did not go as planed...such as a bed missing a part. Jeff made a new part out of wood and quickly solved the problem. He cleaned up after his installations and truly made our more a pleasurable experience.

While Jeff was there on the seventh, he realized it was his birthday. We asked him to stay for dinner. Jeff came to our house on August 7th, 8th, and 9th. On the 12th he came back to the house while we were away. He has access to the house. We trust Jeff. He is amazing. His knowledge is vast. He is honest and we will continue to use him. He also has a great sense of humor.

We contacted Jeff back in January and got an estimate from him to do some work on our grandmothers house that we inherited, he was very nice and gave us an estimate, however we were unable to do the work at that time. I gave him a call 6 months later and he remembered us but said that the price will probably go up since it was so long since the last estimate. The price did go up but since I have read good reviews online I wanted to stick with him and now I am happy I did. At first he brought two guys to help him that really didnt know what they were doing so that dissapointed me but as soon as I called him about the problem he apologized a lot and told me he wouldn't be bringing them back. The work is not done yet but should be done within the next two days. I am so far very pleased with the work he has done and I am excited to see the final product. Will update when all work is done!
