deck cleaning, house painters, handyman service
+ 1 moreI wanted an estimate before the work was done. Jim said he'd come out and review the project and give me an estimate. I didn't hear back from him. I called the day before the work was scheduled and he said that I'd "fallen through the cracks" and wasn't on the scheudle. He didn't seem to want the job because I wanted an estimate up front.
Description of Work: Scheduled work to seal and stain my back deck.

+ -1 moreJim said he didn't do that kind of work, but went above and beyond to call a friend who is a carpenter. He called me back to tell me that his friend would call me tonight. I certainly didn't expect him to be so helpful, especially considering he didn't get any work out of it. What a nice guy! I hope I can use him for some other project some day!
Description of Work: I called Jim to ask him to install some damaged interior doors.

handyman service
+ -1 moreI called Jim because of damage to the garage facia. He did some work for me in 2006 and I was pleased with it then. I had a few small jobs to do in addition to fixing the garage facia as listed above and Jim completed those as well. Jim responded to my call promptly, scheduled the job and appeared as scheduled. He completed the work to my satisfaction in a very reasonable amount of time. He is very pleasant to work with. I called him about three weeks later when something (a raccoon?) pulled out the gutter filter and damaged some shingles on my roof above the gutter. Jim responded promptly and fixed the damage replacing the shingles.
Description of Work: Repaired the garage facia, cleared and flushed the gutters on the house, caulked the west windows, replaced a cedar fence board, adjusted an outside screen door and cleared branches from the telephone line. In response to a separate call in September, he replaced some shingles on the lower part of the roof.

+ -1 moreMy small animal hospital had many small repair issues that I was unable to complete myself. I looked up Jim on Angie's list and found him to be personable and efficient. The work was completed to my satisfaction and in a timely manner. Jim truly is a handyman but is willing to admit when a job needs to be done by another trade. I will use Jim in the future.

decks, flooring contractor, handyman service
+ 1 moreQuality of work was looks good. Jim would not give a fixed bid. He wants to be paid hourly - no limit. That was a huge mistake on my part (as I trusted the other Angie's list ratings that price would be at least reasonable). I had two other bids from other at $500 and $700. Jim's final price came in at $1126. NEVER will I accept an open job work assignment in that he took 2.5 days in what I was told should take 1 day. He lied to me. He agreed to use my Home Depot card so that I could pay directly for materials. Then he decided he was going to use his account and charge me. He said he would give the receipts but didn't. Clearly, don't trust what he says. Last, to me the worst part is that he is extremely unprofessional. I fell very sick (severe pneumonia) the week after this and I told him as soon as I would better I would pay household bills and I was in no shape to do that. I'm sick in bed and he kept sending e-mails and calling to get him money and could care less if I was dying. He acts like a nice guy but he is heartless -- no better than that insurance company trying to collect money from patients at the Emergency waiting room. Totally heartless.

He called me quite a bit to show me different things which would be needed. Regarding the prices it was cheaper elsewhere.

handyman service
+ -1 moreJim is prompt, clean, and personable. He brings the correct supllies for each day's tasks in his van. In a small house such as ours, he knows to set up outside whenever possible in order to keep mess and noise to a minimum. I am often working from home when he is here, and though he likes to chat he is always professional and keeps the volume down. His rates are average in my research at $45/hour (commute time in the morning will also be charged), yet his work is far above average!
Description of Work: Jim has worked on a number of projects in our home. I usually just keep a list of the various tasks I can't figure out how to do and/or things we don't want to spend our weekends doing! I send my list to him beforehand via email or voicemail, then he confirms and comes prepared with the necessary tools and supplies (if requested, though often I've purchased the supplies myself). He is pretty good about budget constraints as well, and brings me back to reality if something I'm asking for will actually take too many hours/dollars! Most recently he installed four IKEA bookshelves with glass doors, and returned several weeks later to carve in plate grooves so they could be used to display dishes and misc. items. He has also repaired cement in two locations, cut open a sump pump pit/cover (prior owner tiled right over it), removed a satellite dish from the roof, figured out how to hang an antique classroom map, installed additional towels bars...and I'm sure there are more projects that I have forgotten already. Note, he does NOT do electrical or plumbing of any kind - but is very up front about it. For repair items he does not necessarily specialize in, I've found his recommendations to be very reliable and reasonable (needed window pane replacement, exterior door installation, etc.)

+ 5 moreI will have Jim back any time I need something done. He is prompt, personable, easy to work with, and doesn't mind me helping out or just letting him do it all. I think his prices for all he did were great.
Description of Work: Jim arrived promptly, at 9:00 A.M. four days. He had explained his rate and what he would be able to do over the phone. When he saw the landscape overgrow, he laughed. It was a jungle and tangle of things that were growing within the Bachman's landscaping put in 17 years ago. He went to work cutting down landscaping, cutting out and digging out the trees, weeds, and "volunteers" that had shown up in the "around the house" landscape. I wanted to work on it too, so he welcomed my participation and we bundled, bagged, and worked together to put over 20 bundles and 15 bags of land waste together the first two days. Those first two days we each worked eight hour days. The next two days, Jim trimmed up all of the bushes, shrubs, and trees, so I could use my riding mower effectively in our yard. He trimmed out all of the dead branches in the pines, cleaned my dryer vent and replaced the flappers on it, power washed my deck, patio, and the siding of our house which was covered with a film of mold. He also cleaned up other "moldy" areas around the perimeter of the house. He then gave me some valuable advice about gutters. My husband was always skeptical of gutters in Minnesota; we always had them in Illinois, but he had heard stories about ice dams. Jim explained that we got mold on the siding because of the lack of gutters and how wet our house stayed. He also pointed out some boards on the front of the house that were not doing well because of water splashing back on them from the driveway; he can replace them though. Now I am finally getting the gutters, and our house looks great!

handyman service, plumbing
+ 0 moreI responded to a plumbing ad through Angie's List. The person who came did the work, but he was not a plumber and did not have the parts needed for the job. He was able to complete the work because I happened to have the parts. If that hadn't been the case, the cost of this repair would have been even higher.
Description of Work: The drain connections from our kitchen sink came apart on Christmas Eve. The person from Jim's Small Stuff was able to reconnect our sinks.

Everything he does is perfect because he is a perfectionist. If someone wants something to be done perfectly at a reasonable price, he is the best one to call.

drywall, electrician, handyman service, lighting
+ 2 moreJim was fantastic. He was able to come the day after our phone conversation. Showed up on time with business card in hand. We have had a very mild winter this year, but poor Jim was here working in the bitter cold on the roof, and outside for hours. He worked hard and did a great job. I was so impressed that I kept adding to his list. He was here right before Christmas and really helped me get some major things off my list.
Description of Work: Removed cleats on roof that a former contractor left. Installed an outside light, hung pictures, hung a very heavy mirror coat rack, hung a bathroom rack, fixed dryer vent, installed covers on outside electric, picked up a bathroom sink and 6 bags of salt from Home Depot and carried downstairs, put up house numbers..many more things...too long to list, and I can't remember all.

dryer vent cleaning, handyman service
+ 0 moreWell, Jim came in, assessed the situation, suggested we open the dryer vent from inside the unfinished basement, and take a look from the inside. That exercise revealed that there was clogging at the outside opening of the vent. Jim cleaned up the clog and used his specialized snake devise (with nylon fibers) to run through the pipe by pulling the dryer out and using that hole. In the end, he slid the dryer back after refitting the joint, finished up the re-sealing of the dryer vent joint close to the siding and got everything good to go again.I really appreciated his professionlism, his timeliness and the happy attitude which he brings to the job. I can't imagine a handyman being more courteous and happy to be doing what he does as Jim is.
Description of Work: I engaged Jim after an earlier duct cleaning crew was not able to locate the dryer vent opening under a close to ground/impossible to crawl under deck. They had suspected that somehow the deck builder may have sealed the dryer vent opening on accident. The clothes were not drying and there was back-feed of lint etc in the laundry room inside the house. A drill in the outgoing pipe close to the dryer indicated it was clean as a whistle. The mystery deepens. Why is the dryer not expelling air to the outside?

gutter cleaning, handyman service
+ 0 moreMy house dates from 1888. Needless to say, it needs work on a regular basis. I had a problem window off the back side of the house where the outside framing was rotting out. I have had different people put "cosmetic bandaids" on it over the last 20 years--it was still in need of proper repair. As per my normal style, I procrastinated until the weather was barely warm enough. Jim still fit me in. He removed the soft wood, stripped away everything to the original wood siding, (discovering that the old combination windows were no longer screwed in to anything in the process), stopped the dry rot that was going on and causing the on-going problem. He put in good wood, reattached my old combinations, caulked everything completely, and put on a shellac-based primer. It is now draft proof and pest-proof. In between the drying time for caulk and paint, he cleaned a problem gutter on my second story, cutting away tree branches that adding to the problem. He wasted no time what so ever. I know I got my money's worth. And he answered all my questions cheerfully and fully while he was working. I will definitely be using him again next year.

+ 0 moreJim was very good about returning our calls and scheduling a time to come out to complete the work. He was very easy to work with and made sure that he was installing the mailbox exactly where we wanted it including the correct height and distance from the street. His work was very thorough including making sure that the mailbox was level. I would highly recommend him and would use his services again! Only one other handman service even returned my call so I was so grateful to Jim for coming out to do such a small project.
