At $30 Paul is a bargain. He's a bit on the slow side but with most of the competition changing $60 an hour, Paul is a great deal. He charged us actual cost for materials (gave us all of the receipts including refunds for excess materials). Not always right on time, but responsive over the phone and understands which things are critical or not
Description of Work: Various general handy man jobs such as: painting, replacing exit signs (common area in a condo). Repair of a fence, graffiti removal. Painting of a door, installation of door sweeps and pneumatic door closer, etc All done over about a month or two.

THE WORK WAS DONE, AND PAUL WAS ON TIME, POLITE, AND CLEANED UP AFTER HIMSELF. PAUL STATED HE CHARGED BY THE HOUR, AND DOES NOT GIVE ESTIMATES. PAUL DID NOT GIVE AN ACCOUNTING OF HIS TIME, AND I FELT I WAS OVER CHARGED. PAUL ONLY DISCUSSED THE WORK, SUCH AS "I HAD TO GO TO YOUR HOUSE TWICE TO PAINT THE BASEMENT WINDOWS", NOT HOW LONG IT TOOK HIM. THE RUST CAME THROUGH THE FIRST PAINT JOB, AND HAD TO BE REPAINTED WHICH HE SAID WAS HIS FAULT, SO I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND HIS EXPLANATION FOR THE AMOUNT HE CHARGED.
Description of Work: REPLACED OUTSIDE VENT (HE PROVIDED) FOR CLOTHES DRYER. REPLACED WINDOW CRANK (I PROVIDED), AND COVERED UP HOLE MADE DUE TO SIZE DIFFERENCE IN THE CRANK MECHANISM. COVERED UP HOLE IN ANOTHER WINDOW FOR THE SAME REASON. PAINTED TWO OUTSIDE BASEMENT WINDOWS (BOTH VERY RUSTED).

Response from Job Genie
Paul never said the extra work was his fault. The original hand scraping of the rust wasnt enough and Paul had to go and buy rust remover. The woman was never home and Paul wasnt able to explain to her how much time was involved, and that the work was very hard since he was working under a porch. She was never there to actually see the outside window work. Paul gave her an hourly accounting, but she didnt remember. It was Paul's impression that she was trying to get out of paying fairly.

HE WAS ON TIME, EFFICIENT, COURTEOUS AND CLEAN. I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD DO SOME CARPENTRY FOR US AND HE SAID HE WASN'T QUALIFIED. I LIKED HIS HONESTY ABOUT THAT. I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN. HE IS GOING TO BE UNAVAILABLE FROM CHRISTMAS UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF APRIL.
Description of Work: PAUL DID SOME CAULKING AND GROUTING IN OUR SINK AND SHOWER. HE ALSO INSTALLED SOME FELT INSULATION ON OUR WINDOWS AND A WEATHER SEAL ON OUR FRONT DOOR. THE WHOLE JOB TOOK FIVE HOURS.

THE PRICE WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD HAD THE WORK BEEN PROPERLY DONE. HE TOOK RAILING HOME TO REPAIR IT AND HAS NOT YET RETURNED IT. MY BATHROOM FLOORS ARE NOT CLEAN AND HE DID NOT CLEAN THEM WITH A MACHINE. THE METHOD OF CLEANING WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM HAD THE RESULTS BEEN GOOD. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE SERVICE.

The customer misunderstood the hourly rate. She also didn't mention that Paul refitted three hot air registers in the floor, much more difficult work.
