As soon as the worker walked in the door, he was all complaints. When I had called to verify the appointment the day before, he had changed the time from noon to 9am and I told them that I could not be there at that time. With it being 15 minutes worth of work, I would have done that myself rather than paid someone to come out to do it. It's only a small powder room and they should have been able to complete the job. They attempted to add multiple fees throughout the job which I was not willing to pay and it is really acceptable that they would even try to do so.
Description of Work: J&D offered a Big Deal for painting or Dry Wall Repair. They painted 2 walls in a powder room, there is a screen in the room and they would not paint beyond that screen, saying it was another room. They were done in 15 minutes and said it would be another $120 for the other side of the room. They would not paint the cabinet that was on the wall either.

Painters arranged to do the work very quickly, worked very efficiently and arrived exactly when they said they would. They indicated that the discount really equated to the cost of one gallon of paint, but since the owner provided the paint, it didn't seem like any discount was applied. I had never used a Big Deal before and perhaps I did not understand the terms. They arrived on time, cleaned up and did a good job.
Description of Work: Painted upstairs bedroom from Big Deal. Owner provided paint, moved furniture and wall hangings, removed switch plate covers, etc.

THEY SHOWED UP WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. THEY WOULD PLEASANT AND FRIENDLY. THEY REPAIRED MY BATHROOM CEILING WHICH TOOK 45 MINUTES, THEN THEY WERE OUT THE DOOR. WHEN I SUGGESTED OTHER PROJECTS THEY SAID THEY NEEDED OTHER MATERIALS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE (EDGING FOR DRYWALL). (I'M 5 MINUTES FROM HOME DEPOT). THE CEILING THAT THEY REPAIRED LOOKS GOOD. BUT - THEY WERE HERE 45 MINUTES.
Description of Work: I PURCHASED THE 4HOUR DEAL FOR $120. (WHICH ACTUALLY MEANT 2 PEOPLE FOR 2 HOURS.) I HAD MY BATHROOM CEILING REPAIRED.

Other than having to schedule a month in advance, everything was optimum. They arrived when they said they would, gave accurate advice about how to cover a single wall that already had dark paint (using the built-in primer for the Sherman Williams paint), did high quality work on the walls and trim, and were personable, professional, and friendly.

I purchased this service in the winter. They could have been more responsive - I had to contact them several times to make an appointment and when I had to cancel and offered and tentative altertnative date I never heard from them. It is partly my fault as I could have been more forceful in getting the work scheduled but think that they could have shown more initiative as well. But I am satisfied with the work that was done.

Description of Work: Hall bathroom painted, which was contracted through Angie's list for $120, not well painted at all. Also had dry wall in closet repaired for $200 extra. I believe that repair is OK.

I take responsibility for the fact that I was not terribly satisfied. Before hiring this firm, I should have made sure that they had installed a lot of doorknobs. ("Doctor, how many liver transplants have you done recently?"). I had simply mentioned when setting up the appointment that I wanted to make sure that whoever came knew how to do what I needed done. These men were on time and very personable; I liked them and would like to use them again though probably will not. However, the equivalent of four hours for this job seems like a great deal of time. I had expected time left over for a couple of other tasks. That did not happen. Moreover, they were not able to finish installation, telling me that the components of one doorknob did not fit together. If I got it replaced, I was told, they would return and install it. I took the piece back to the hardware store and staff had no idea what the problem could be, since these were standard components, and they saw nothing wrong with them. I contacted another handyman service, and the item was properly installed. 5/6 of the job was done in a satisfactory manner, albeit taking longer than I think it should have. I did not stand and observe the men, but it seemed to me that one of them did most of the work. (I was told the other was a "drywall person." Sadly, I had no drywall to deal with.) Had they both worked on installation, I suspect we would have accomplished more, although the "problem" doorknob probably still would not have been installed. I recall checking the reviews, and I believe they were very favorable or I would not have signed on. Mine may well be an atypical experience. As I indicated, I should have ensured that doorknobs would not be a problem.
Description of Work: The job was to install six indoor doorknobs of a very standard manufacture. Four were without locks. The bedroom and bath knobs had a privacy lock on them. They sent two men for two hours each rather than one man for four hours. I would probably recommend against accepting this deal unless you have more than one very discrete task that two people can do at the same time. (Actually, I did, but things did not seem to work out that way--see below.) In my case, one seemed to stand around much of the time and at one point went down to get something from the truck but did not return for a long while (time I had paid for in advance). In fact, he was gone so long that I was worried and went down to check. (I know that it is common for service people to disappear in the middle of a job to get something in their trucks and that it always takes them longer than it would take me to get the tool bag or tape. They are, of course, checking their emails and following up on potential jobs. It irks me when I pay for the downtime, which is always, but it is not uncommon. This was a longer-than-usual trip.) The price was a special, which is why I checked N/A to price above. I don't know what this firm typically charges. The special of $140 or $149 seems low for four hours.

Same as describe the services performed.
Description of Work: It was the Deal of the Week. I think it was two hours of drywall repair for $120.00 (something like that). They did a good job but left some spots not looking too good. Everything was fixed up and patched (several holes in the wall), but some look better than others. Left the house and when I came back it looked like they just left without finishing some of the patches. I don't know. Not really impressed with a company that wants to look professional.

Description of Work: They replaced some rotted wood boards on the outside of the house. That was the reason we had them come in the first place, but then we had some water damage to our finished basement, so we had them come back and cut out the baseboard. They did a perfectly fine job.

They arrived promptly, were personable, neat, efficient and did a very good job. Even went the extra mile to look at the exterior of my house to see why the paint was always peeling in one certain area. Found a small hole in the brick mortor and filled it at no extra charge. The next time i need the interior of my house painted or handyman jobs around the house done I wouldn't hesitate to call J&D Handyman Services.

The work that J&D performed at my home was outstanding. They completed the work within the time they promised, the quality was high, and for a very affordable price, and they cleaned up the job site perfectly upon departure. The only advice I have is a customer would need to reserve their services early and be flexible about the deadline they have as the guys at J&D were clearly inundated with requests for their services and it took a while for us to nail down a date. While some miight see that as a drwaback, I saw that as a testament of their hard work and the demand shown for their workmanship. So, thumbs up all around for J&D. I would hire them again.

I asked if they knew how to paint with Ralph Lauren Candle Light paint, and was told yes, they had done it before. When they came out and started to paint, it was obvious they did not know how to do it. I told them that was not right and they kept telling me I had to wait until it dried. When it dried it looked turable. I had to repaint it. For strait painting they may be ok, but for any kind of special paint, no. Edith

Overall, when they came to do the work, it was done professionally, it was a good job, and there were no problems.14
Description of Work: The workers were on time; they put on booties before entering the house; they cleaned up after themselves. They completed the drywall repair (3 guys) in no time, and the supervisor was able to give my mother estimates for other drywall repairs needed in the house. The work done was good. We had scheduling difficulties at first; on the day of the job, the supervisor called to say they would not make it that day. On the date it was rescheduled, the supervisor wanted to reschedule because "they were on the other side of town." We have another Big Deal job for them in October (the day and time they selected). We will see when the work actually gets done.

They arrived right on time with a crew of 3. They were fast and cleaned up well. It was difficult since they did not come out and do an on site estimate just over the phone so we had to run out and get more paint and the cost was a bit more then expected. For the most part the painting was very good, only a few drips found in one room, the other was very good. Again they showed up on time and finished when the said they would which is a big surprise and greatly appreciated. Get an in home estimate first but I would recommend them to do more work.
