I was very satisfied with his work. He was terrific. He was on time. He did the work in the amount of time that he said he would and for the amount of money that he said he would. He was super nice. He was really easy to deal with. I would definitely use him again if I need any other kind of handyman-type work.
Description of Work: I used Jim’s Small Stuff Handyman Service 4 years ago. He did a bunch of little stuff around the house like hanging pictures, putting knobs on cabinets and that kind of work.

I interacted with the owner. Once I talked to the owner, I decided that I needed new windows. I contacted them based on advertisements. I also went to a workshop, and they talked a lot about window restoration. I thought everything was fine. We just didn't decide to do that type of work.
Description of Work: They gave an estimate on some restoration work.

I spent about $200 on the job. The job went very well. He came out when he said he would. He did what he said he would do. He let me ask a lot of questions. He did a good job. I would recommend him to others. I think he was very open to questions about his job. He was willing to take the time that I needed. I will use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Jim’s Small Stuff Handyman Service five months ago. He installed gutter guards for me.

I like Jim. He is reasonable and comes quickly when called. He has a minimum charge when called of $100 so you should bundle your work so he has more than one job when he comes. He has done a number of jobs around our property and has done great work.
Description of Work: We had Jim replace an anchor for the hanging curtain rod that was pulled out of the wall.

He did what he said he would, gave what I think was good advice, and the costs were what we expected
Description of Work: He put gutter covers on our gutters, and looked at an area of exposed wood near the foundation. He suggested (correctly I think) that we get a contractor experienced in this area to fix the last item. He was pleasant and easy to work with, and we would be glad to have him back.

Responded promptly to my request for service. Arrived on time. Jim had to remove the door molding to access the track and remount one the trollies. He strengthened the connection with the door so it wouldn't come loose again. When he was done, there wasn't a mark or scratch on the woodwork or wall and the door works flawlessly. The post job cleanup was just as good.
Description of Work: Reaired pocket door that had disconnected from its track.

He quoted me 3 guys, 3 weeks to complete everything. Doing the math, I calculated over $15,000 of total cost. I thought that this was excessive as I had done almost all of the work in my house up to now. I thought that it might be cheaper to bundle it all instead of doing it separately. He told me (fortunately) that they were booked and couldn't do the job - not that I would have done it for that price. I ended up getting the painting done for approx. $4,000, the patchwork for $200, the cement work for $650 and the cabinet work for $250.. Total of approx. $5,000. Still trying to figure out how he calculated his time. Maybe he is good for smaller jobs.
Description of Work: I called Jim in to look at many different jobs in my house to be able to put it up for sale. He was very punctual and personable and sincerely wanted to help. We discussed the job: 1. Interior painting of kitchen, kitchen cabinets, 2 radiators, 2. Exterior painting of front porch and some small wood repair, 3. Patching of hole in living room ceiling, corner of kitchen (where a cabinet was removed), and some wall work in the upstairs hallway. 4. replacing back cement steps 5. Building a small cabinet/countertop unit (which he gave me a great rec. on a cabinet maker) That was the list.

Used Jim years ago, and was pleasantly surprised that he was still doing handyman work. Came promptly on the day we decided on, showed him the various jobs needing done to get my house ready to sell. He also made suggestions as well. Worked for three solid days, and really made the place look great. He came back the next week to finish pressure washing and we asked him to do another small job. He's now going to come back a third time for another job related to the remodeling going on inside. He's a delight to work with, knowledgeable about all sorts of small jobs around the house.
Description of Work: Filled woodpecker holes in cedar siding, painting garage doors, re-caulking front door windows, pressure washing front areas of house and stepping stones, adding concrete spacers by garage

He always says what his limitations are. He will tell you exactly what he can and can't do, which is very honest. I was impressed with his innovation and creativity-he was able to come up with an answer that worked specifically for my circumstance. I plan to hire him for jobs in the future.
Description of Work: He moved a light fixture and put in a new one. He leveled my door, and fixed a lock. He also did other various small jobs, including hanging sliding doors to replace my bifold doors.

It went well. My daughter lived in the apartment and can be kind of rough on stuff. This resulted in one of the hinges breaking again. He came out right away to fix it. I felt it was not his fault and paid him for his service, I am very satisfied with him.

Jim made an appointment to come to my home to give an estimate. He was on time, very professional (had a business card and an personalized pen). He gave me a time and cost estimate, which seemed very reasonable. Jim called just before our agreed upon date to verify the time that he and his partner, Bruce would be at my home. They both are very professional, personable, prompt and completely dependable. Since my tasks multiplied and they needed more time than originally planned, they worked me into their schedule , which wasn't easy since all of my work was outside and sometimes the weather didn't cooperate. Jim and Bruce were very efficient and attended to the smallest detail, so I feel that the work they did for me was first class. I have already recommended them to my family and my neighbors who are also making lists.
Description of Work: I needed exterior cement repair and repainting of my sun porch and an outside faucet moved. Jim and his partner, Bruce completed the jobs for which I originally hired them, but I kept finding more things for them to do. They were able to tuck point my entire home; repair and grout my front steps; build new steps for my deck as well as steps with a railing for my hot tub; repair and paint the trim on my windows and the trim on my garage. They also sealed holes left from the removal of shutters, and any other potential entry points for unwanted pests . They agreed to a future job that I will budget for next spring. I assumed that I would need to contract with different companies to perform all these tasks. I had no idea how handy my handymen could be. It is a great source of satisfaction and comfort to have these jobs performed by Jim and Bruce. I have great confidence in them and in their work. I'm already making a list of new tasks for them!

I was very happy with him. He came out very quickly. His price was reasonable. It was a tricky job, from my description he said he wasn't sure if he'd be able to do it. He came out anyway and was able to do the work.

He just did an excellent job on everything he did. He was very prompt and friendly. He did really good work, and really seemed to know what he was doing. He made suggestions about my landscaping and other things that he thought could be changed. He fixed my front door without me even asking, and I in fact didn't even know it could be fixed. I was very happy with his work, and I would certainly use him again in the future. I have actually used him twice already, and plan to use him again.
Description of Work: He did a variety of things for me, including minor gutter work, changing lightbulbs, and the like.

Promptly returned phone call, made suggestions on pre-work and type of paint to buy, and scheduled the work within a few days of my call. Worked for 18 hours over three day period. Arrived on time and did an excellent job. I trusted him to work alone in my home on the 2nd and 3rd days and had no problems. He followed up after the work was done to see if I was happy with the work, which I was. He did not charge for the time to drive to my house.
