MR. FIXIT HOME REPAIR

They did an amazing job, and finished on time allowing our house to go on sale as planned.

Showed up a little late but had call to warn us. Got a "late payment notice" from their office but had never received a bill or given one at the end of the services.

I highly recommend him. It was an excellent experience. And if you need items repaired, I think Karl will do an excellent job.

Karl is amazing. He was at my house within 15 minutes of the call and the porch lights that had been sitting in my living room for five months were hung in less than an hour. I would recommend him 100%!

I knew he charged by the hour - but were disappointed when he charged us for packing up his tools and for getting out flooring material from a couple of home depot. Had we know this we would have ordered everything online.

We have had good experiences every time. He is honest, friendly, punctual, very professional, and does a good job. He has been particularly helpful when we were in a bind - needing help on a weekend in bad weather, for example.

Great Experience again with Mr. Fix-It. Made sure I had everything needed (new faucet, etc) in our initial phone conversation BEFORE he came and advised me to make a list of jobs; called again before he came; arrived on time; explained jobs, and completed all jobs as promised. Worked pretty efficiently too. Explained needs for future repairs andf gave me a clear receipt. I will definitely call him again.

He arrived on time, performed his work very professionally, and had a myriad of tasks to do. I thought his price was a little high, but given the quality of work I would say that he earned it. He cleaned up after himself completely.

They never showed up and I called them back and they said they'd reschedule but I didn't bother.

I was very happy with the service. They were on time and very reasonably priced.

They were very trustworthy. They were very pleasant and helpful.

Overall the experience was very satisfactory. The sales person came to the house and explained all of our options. He recommended the best and cheapest option for our needs. The work was done in one day even though it threatened to rain the whole day. We were very satisfied with the work.

He does quality work. Had him do repairs also inside my home...He is definately a Mr Fixit..... He has everything in his truck.

He was very reliable and thorough. He gave really good suggestions in solving our problems, in a very cost effective way. I have recommended him to several people in the area and will use him in future.

Karl was punctual, professional, competent, and very pleasant. He repaired holes in the ceiling left after a plumbing job. He completed the repair in two visits. In addition, he noticed that my garbage disposal had stopped working and fixed it in a jiffy after he washed his tools. He worked efficiently and his hourly rate is competitive. He has been honest about what he can do, and has recommended other contractors for what he cannot do.

Came and gave us a professional estimate. Told us days they would be available to do the work. Came on-time on the day specified. Did a great job on everything. Neat, organized, skillfull. Inexpensive for the amount of work that was done. Very pleasant to deal with, gave us plenty of information. We highly recommend Mr. Fixit Home Repair.

I got the reference for this provider from Angie's List (and got a member's discount). We talked over the phone about the work. He arrived as scheduled and performed the work well. He was very friendly and professional.

We contacted and received several estimates to fix up our house for sale. We chose Mr. Kosok to do the work, based on his previous high ratings, his reasonable-seeming estimate (though it was higher than the other estimates, it was more realistic), and his genial demeanor. Unfortunately, this proved to be an unwise choice. He started out well, working quickly and accomplishing a good deal of work at a fairly high level of quality. After a few days, though, he and his assistant started showing up less and less often. There were at least four weekdays (in the 3+ weeks it took to do the project) where no one was working at the house at all. The only way to get him to show up for the last three days needed to complete the project was to demand that he do so. He left a disastrous mess in the house. He washed paintbrushes in our kitchen sink without cleaning up afterward, leaving a mess of dried paint. There were several spots where paint was splashed on the carpet, floors, and cabinets. Without prior permission, he used our vacuum cleaner to clean up paint chips and spacke dust. We needed to reschedule a carpet cleaning because of the mess left by his work, even after I had warned him that we were having it done. We also needed to spend many hours cleaning up after him to make the house ready to be photographed by our realtor. He generally took far longer than would be reasonably expected to accomplish some tasks, such as touching up chipped spots on the trim and door frames. Given his rather high hourly rate ($75 an hour for his time), this cost us a great deal of money. He also seemed to have problems identifying problem spots; he needed to be told at least four seperate times after he had said that the trim was finished that there were many obvious spots that needed touching up. He had tried to encourage us to simply strip and repaint all of the trim in the house, at a very great additional expense, and seemed miffed that we were unwilling to spend the extra money. He brought in a tile guy ("Jerry") do to the tile floors, who did very shoddy work. The edges and corners of the tiles were cut crudely, grout was left splashed in a number of places, and the excess grout was simply dumped off the back porch into our garden. He also took more than 3 days to finish a job that should have taken no more than two. Communcation and professionalism were a problem throughout. Mr. Kosok does not use a smartphone or the like, so emails to him are only answered in the evenings. On at least two occasions, he failed to show up on days when he said he would be working. His written estimate was prepared using a ballpoint pen and sheets of notebook paper, and all arrangements and agreements were handled verbally. Partly this is my fault for letting him get away with it, but in the future, I will be insisting on the kind of careful documentation that Mr. Kosok does not generally provide. The points working in his favor are that he is pleasant (although long-winded) and appears to be honest. He is capable (although not consistently) of doing nice work, such as the excellent job he did on several wall patches. Overall, though, I cannot recommend him. He was too messy, too inconsistent, too unreliable, and far, far too slow.

It was wonderful. He was really good. I remember that it was $150 because that's all I had, so he allowed me to work along with him so we could get the job done within the two hours. He showed up on time. He gave me a very reasonable and accurate estimate. He did what I asked him to do. He was familiar with the IKEA furniture, he didn't have to train himself on that so clearly he had done that before. He was very, very pleasant to work with.

Karl is a very nice gentlemen, but our experience was similar to working with a handy relative or friend. He fumbled his way though the job, read the various instruction sheets, and figured it out as you would if you were to do the job yourself. This is fine for $30/hr, but at $75/hr I'd expect a bit more proficiency. Learning on the job is not something I'd like to subsidize. Other issues: * Karl had to leave for a prior commitment BEFORE the job was properly finished -- the sink was *leaking* - leaving my wife with a bucket under the sink and the number of a plumber! Yes, he left us he's plumber friend's number to finish the job. Karl didn't even offer to call his plumber for us, and he certainly did not offer to pay for his clean-up services. * The job took 50-100% longer than originally quoted. * Karl did not bring his own caulk gun and had to borrow one from some other workmen at the house that day, much to their annoyance * Karl could not/would not lift the sink, leaving it to my wife to scramble to solicit help from a tenant of ours. In summary, for the total we paid we could have hired a profession plumber and paid a *fraction* of the cost.

The work was completed satisfactorily in spite of a two or three hour delay.

Karl (aka Mr. Fixit) was pleasant, professional and responsive. All of the work was very well done. The replaced column is much better than the original one. Happy to recommend Karl.

Overall, the project went well. There were a couple of mishaps; l) paint ran down on my alarm system setting off the alarm; Mr. Fixit paid for cleanup of alarm. Outside of attic door painted wrong color, but was corrected.

Very well. This gentlemen charges by the hour...and got right down to doing the job.

It went very well. I called on a weekend and he came by about 20 minutes later to scope out the work. He tells you his rates and his helpers' rates and estimates the time it'll take. After that, if you have any homework to do that will save you on costs (e.g. rather than pass on marked-up costs, he told me where to go by the wood I needed, paint and various other things). Once all the materials were assembled, he came by and knocked out the work in about 2.5 long days. There were no hitches in doing the work and he advised me on a number of potential repair/improvement projects (that wouldn't necessarily be the type of worked he'd do....such as landscaping projects).
