Description of Work: I bought CJ's special 2 hours of handyman service for $$99 and was initially very impressed with Ryan, owners son. He came over and got some very basic work done for me(hung shelves, etc., nothing too detailed or complicated). He seemed like a nice, honest guy, so I had him return to replace a toilet. I was quoted $131. for labor and materials. He called just a few days after sending the estimate and said he could come over that morning because of an opening in his schedule. I told him I'd love that but hadn't been able to pick up the new toilet yet. Ryan said he was close to a Home Depot and would gladly pick up the model we discussed would be best for my bathroom. I thought because this was the start of a long working relationship (though my house is fairly new, we recently bought it and have a number of things we'd like to do on the interior) that he was picking it up as a courtesy and convenient that day. Little did I know that he was charging me a 26% mark-up and $110 an hour for the two of them on top of the $130 estimate for labor/installation (which included 2 hours of labor for the toilet) and materials. Turns out the toilet that was purchased was more expensive than the one we agreed upon, he didn't provide a receipt (I had to go online and look up the price after he left), and it took two of them nearly two hours to install it. They were here a third hour which was spent with Ryan hanging more shelves and Chris installing one shelf in kitchen cabinet. They were here from 11:30am - 2:30pm - 3 hours. A good part of this time was spent walking them both around and talking about all the things I wanted done in the coming weeks/months. Little did I know that they were charging me, again, $110 an hour for that. I would have never done that. When it came time to pay at the 3-hour mark, Ryan said I owed him a whopping $705! Whoa. I later found out how he justified that amount - Toilet and materials (materials I thought were included in $130 estimate - clearly stated $260.00 Installation.labor and more materials??? $130.00 Labor 1.5 hours at $55/per person/hour after installation of toilet for Chris (to install ONE KITCHEN SHELF?!!??? 3 hours at $55 per person/hour for Ryan to put up 3 Potteyrbarn shelves? $400 My problems with this: 1. They weren't at my house a moment longer than 3 hours - bad business and unprofessional to rip people off with their watch. 2. The job not only should have taken less than 2 hours for one person to do, but it took 2 hours for 2 people to do - I paid double labor fees for the toilet installation. 3. They left without providing any receipts or detail of bill. Yes, I should have pressed further, but in my arms was my new 8-wk-old daughter and my 2-yr-old son. I had my hands a bit full and didn't really have the time or energy to confront the issue at that given time. I should have. When they left I did the math in my head and nothing added up. I since sent Ryan emails and that's when I learned about the 26% mark-up and that they thought they were there 3.5 hours. He didn't respond to my inquiry about it taking Chris 1.5 hours to install an MDF shelf in my kitchen cabinet or that I paid double labor for two of them to spend 2 hours installing the toilet or not being upfront and honest about their hidden fees.

Description of Work: I am please thus far with the work that has been done, they have not completed the job yet as there was more work to be done. I am waiting for them to come back to finish the job when he has time in his schedule.

Description of Work: CJ's Finish Carpentry drilled out broken bolts holding our handrails to the wooden posts of our 3d floor deck.

Description of Work: Ryan and team repaired some railings on my front farmer's porch and main entrance. I had purchased the materials but never got around to doing the repairs myself...I took advantage of an Angie's List Big Deal for this work - and I expect to use CJ's Finish Carpentry again in the future.

Description of Work: I hired CJ Finish carpentry once again, this time to replace the large picture window in the front of my house, with 3 side by side double hung anderson windows. He gutted the old window back to the studs replaced the windows, re insulated and flashed. He trimmed the outside with vinyl trim and the inside with natural pine. #1 Glad I went with the complete gut and replacement of the window as apposed to the simple replacement window someone else quoted for cheaper. #2 Glad I went with the vinyl trim even though its more expensive. #3 He pulled into the driveway right behind the delivery truck with the window, and was done by noon. Chris Jones never comes back as the lowest bidder, but the work will be done right and he doesn't cut the corners that have become popular with "knackers" . I also like hiring him for things like windows because he is a General Contractor and will alert you to any issues he may find while doing simple repairs, he doesn't "paint over" problems.

Description of Work: He called, set up an appointment for estimate.No Show. I emailed for explanation . Days later, he emailed back telling me he had truck trouble and rain etc. We will set up a new appointment. I emailed back for 1:00 any day this week. No Show again. No call. Please send another contractor. He is unreliable. He came and rebuilt our ramp.
