Just great. Jim was on time, did a good install, and explained how the shades worked. He is pleasant to work with. I'm glad I've found him as now I know who can do the kind of small stuff we can't or don't want to do ourselves.

Everything went great. I thought the doors and window would have to be replaced (which would have been very costly) but Jim was able to save them. He removed the doors, cleaned them up, sanded, repainted, repaired the glass and installed deadbolts. The doors are now very solid, secure and look great. Same with the basement window; he was able to rehab it and it looks great. He also did a great job cleaning ...sadly both garage doors and basement window were really dirty! The wallboard repair looks great and is now ready for repainting, which I plan on hiring Jim to do this winter.
Description of Work: Repair and rehab two service doors in garage; repair and rehab basement window; repair wallboard in family room which had two holes from old space heater, one rather large.

Jim was GREAT! He was professional, timely, and efficient. We were preparing to sell our home and he added a lot of great advice and little quick things to spruce up everything just that little bit extra. The rooms painted looked perfect, and all the bathroom and other work was completed very professionally. I would definitely hire Jim again!

He is a jack of all traits and he is very good. He is still working for me. When we first used this house we used a lot of people but it?s pretty well rehab now but Jim?s comes at least once a month. He gets stars. If I could afford more I would let him come more than once a month. He was the person who helped us get this house in shape so charge us less and I don?t know what his going rate is. He really is good and knows how to do a number of things which I appreciate. He was recommended by a friend and he has done work for my daughter. So he was here the whole time the house is being rehab and he brought people in. He is a handyman and not a builder. He can build things but he likes to do handyman stuff which he is good at. He put glued my grandchildren toys. He has become a friend too.
Description of Work: Jim’s Torkelson is the only person I have used recently. His business is called Jim’s Small Stuff Handyman Service. The last time he was here he did the roof. I had punch that was about 10 or 12 things. He does a lot of things like the screen door does not shut right, changed a light bulb that is high and we cannot reach. He is coming next week and he is going to car wash my picnic table and put something on it because it’s exposed to the elements because the last it was done was 6 or 7 years ago.

Wow, I mean Wow! Jim was the 7th!!! person we called, most off of Craiglist (all losers). #1 all the Angie's list people responded and were professional (but REAL expensive), Jim had had the schedule and time we needed. The Craigslist people never made it out of the bar or were violating their probation. Jim did work for us on an investment property. The most important thing about Jim is that he knows when to do a Picasso and when not. Sometimes you need a guy to spend 3 days screwing in a light bulb and other times you just need a guy to do some electrical work. Jim can do both or can at least ask what you want. All the other people (if they bothered to show up) quoted us Picasso's. Jim was a bit pricey BUT OH SO WORTH IT!!! So professional and calm and PRACTICAL. He knew when it was practical to paint the Picasso and when to make it look good for the inspectors. For our needs we totally depended upon his guided. He so saved our investment from going under water. I would take a bullet for this guy. Grab him and never let him go.

Jim called back about 24 hours after we first called. The job was explained to him and he said it shouldn't be a problem. He actually showed up early and completed the job to our satisfaction. He was very pleasant and professional. We will be sure to call on him in the future.

Did not use the provider. However, contacted multiple companies with few returned calls. He called me back promptly and schedule a service promptly. We ended up getting our door replaced instead of repaired but do to the professionalism of the returned calls, we would use him if needed in the future.

Jim was on time, very professional in communicating prior to arriving and while here. During the time he was working, I had window washers here. They tore a screen, and Jim was able to fix it right away. Jim also noticed that my garage door spring had broken--I didn't even know it! So, I was able to get that repaired immediately. He is VERY professional, knowledgeable, friendly, time-and cost-sensitive. He made suggestions regarding my repairs that saved me money. He is concerned about doing the job well, and completing it in a way that the customer wants. I will use him again, and recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Jim repaired a rotting mailbox post, installed baseboard trim in bedroom closets, hung towel bars/robe hook/painting in a new bathroom, and hung an overhead dog run in my yard.

Jim was very friendly and punctual. He communicated well from the very first call until the project was finished. He was on time on both days that he was in our home. He was respectful and made sure that we were completely satisfied with the work he performed in our home. We will call him in the future for other handymen/ maintenance needs. Jim did a wonderful job for our family, and we are very happy with his work!
