Jack of All Trades Handyman Services LLC

Jack and his team did a beautiful job. They were all a pleasure to do business with and we're very pleased with their work.

We played phone tag and although I did not follow up on last call we never heard from them and contacted another firm. I don't want to give them a bad rating since we never had any contact with them, and I am sure they are a good company, but we would have appreciated a return call one way or another.

Jack and his crew were wonderful. Jack has extensive knowledge in all facets of bathroom remodeling. Our bathroom was taken down to the studs, and completely rebuilt. Since this is our only full bathroom, we were concerned about having the new bathtub functional in a very short period of time. As promised, Jack and his crew (Jason, Kevin and Keith) were able to have the tub and shower completed very quickly. They are very customer oriented. Throughout the project, Jack's knowledge and great suggestions made for a smooth bathroom renovation, resulting in our beautiful new bathroom. Jack is a true artist at woodworking. He devised the idea of picture framing the window and the result is amazing.They exceeded our expectations in the day to day execution of the work. At the conclusion of each day, Jack asked us to review the day's progress, and asked if we had any questions or feedback , communicating on a daily basis the next steps . They were very flexible. We had some minor changes which we requested while the work was in progress, and Jack and his crew were very accomodating about incorporating these changes. They cleaned up at the end of each day, and finished the project on time. The entire project went very well (electrical, plumbing, drywall/cement board, tiling, painting, carpentry).

I was getting a washer and dryer delivered and had to move a gas line. The person came out and told me how to move the gas line. If I felt comfortable moving a gas line I wouldn't have called this company out. I ended up by using another company to move the gas line. Would I use this company again. I checked off "yes" in the box because they want you to put something down, but, it would depend on what I was calling this company out to do.

The handyman was pleasant, efficient and punctual.

He was incredible! The price was so reasonable and he also had to run to Home Depot to get some things for the project and get brand new pipes. It was a very very positive experience, and someone I would recommend very highly! He was so informative and so helpful as well!

The project went very well. Jack had a challenge because I wanted to get as much height as possible on the ceiling, but because of the way the duct work was installed in the dining room area, Jack could only raise the ceiling in the living room area. I did not want to have to remove and replace duct work. It would have been too costly. So Jack devised a way of sloping the higher part of the ceiling down to the lower part, and putting in an arch to make for a smoother transition from one section to the other! It's beautiful, and very unique! He also came up with a way to make our basement door blend in with the walls (so it's virtually invisible), with a magnetic close. Very creative! Jack is patient, too. I did add a few things to the scope of the project as we went along, but he was able to roll along with it. The project did take longer than expected. Jack is in high demand, and works on a few projects at a time, so, if you do hire him, be patient, (I have to admit, that is hard for me at times, since I get anxious for the job to be completed). The job may take longer than you expect, but, if you want the best, sometimes you have to wait. Now that the job is finished, I know it was worth the time it took. I will definitely call Jack again!

Jack repaired a broken pipe in our shower. He was very polite, professional, and trustworthy, and did everything that he said he was going to do. I've had terrible experiences where contractors don't return calls, don't come when they say they are going to come, or say they will call back and then don't. Jack was very straight-forward and clear and gave us all the information we needed up front. For example, when making the initial appointment we had a day selected but not a specific time. His wife who manages the scheduling said she would call with a specific time a couple days before he was to come over and that is exactly what happened. He always arrived on time and kept us informed on what he was doing and why. He is extremely knowledgable over a broad range of areas and finds the most cost effective way to fix the problem. We also have several cats and dogs and Jack was very respectful and comfortable around them. We have several more projects around the house that need to be done, and we plan on using Jack for these as well!

They seemed very congenial.

When I first called I should have known this was not a very professional business. The woman who answered the phone just said hello and I thought I had the wrong number after figuring out it was the wife we set an appointment for a date and she said she would call back with a time. She called 2 days before and left a message I returned her call the next evening and said the time was fine. On the day of the appointment she called and said because she didn't hear from she didn't put me on the schedule. I told her I called and she said well it was too late, so they would have to reschedule for sometime in March a month away. Jack needs to hire a secretary with people skills, because it's not a good first impression talking and dealing with his wife.

Jack was great throughout the entire process. His estimate was timely and reasonable. He started the work when he said he would and worked efficiently. He was receptive to feedback through the construction and accomodated all my wishes and needs. The was solid and thorough and overall I was very happy with the experience.

I called Jack in August; he came for an estimate a few weeks later, but didn't begin work until December. He is very busy, but very responsive, returning calls and arranging appointments when needed. His wife, Fran, handles much of the appointment dates. Jack was accomodating, coming to my house around my schedule. He completed all the repairs in two days. He repaired and replaced two sets of deck steps and some rotted boards. He prepared my deck for staining and stained the deck. He replaced a piece of siding. He fixed three doors and a threshold. And, he repaired a leaking gutter. He was professional and prompt, neat and clean, and explained everything. I had a problem with one repair, my gutter, but he returned to repair it recently. Jack knows his business and knows much about home repairs. The one criticism I had was the time between making an arrangement for a visit (August) and beginning the work (December). He is just sooo busy!

This gentleman came to the house because I had quite a number of projects that needed to be addressed; however, after taking a look at everything and leaving, he never delivered a quote. I called him twice to deliver a quote and he never did. So, I would not suggest working with this individual if you would like commitment.

The cost was reasonable. He had a nice demeanor and was competent.

Jack and his crew-Chris, Keith & Patrick were very professional, courteous, and informative. Price was reseasonable. He kept us well informed and was accessible for any questions we may have. They cleaned up after each day's work. We would highly recommend Jack of all Trades and would definitely hire them again for other projects. It was the best experience we have had with hiring a contractor. i

The company never responded to my e-mail

Jack was prompt and did the work quickly and efficiently. He ran into a problem in our hallway ceiling, but was able to come up with an excellent (and inexpensive) solution. We would definitely use him again

I sent Jack a very detailed email on what type of work I needed done, but his response was, "Call my wife to schedule an appointment." This lead me to believe that he had read my email and could do the work I needed. After trading voicemails with is wife for almost a week, I finally spoke with her to schedule an appointment, only to be told that Jack does not do that kind of work. Seems to me that the more professional thing to do would have been to responded that way in his original email response, saving me time and aggravation. Jack is clearly not the handyman he claims to be. Lesson learned.

I was satisfied with them. The price was reasonable.

Gave us a quick estimate for both jobs, and that was exactly what they ended up costing.

I was surprised that he started to mask & drape the windows with plastic, and cover the entire floors & hallways upstairs in the two bedrooms and hallway with plastic. I then found out why as he began to use a sprayer to paint with,(mind you he said he does not use one). That took a good part of the entire day to just mask off the woodwork, cover the floors, and furniture and when he finished the sprayer left a fine layer of mist that attached itself to the dining room table downstairs which he did not see and we had to clean. I believe he would have continued to use the sprayer the next day but I told him about the mess and he stated they would use a roller to continue. The painting continued the rest of the first week and into the next. I kept noticing roller marks on the ceiling in the living room and all the other rooms downstairs, Jack also was aware of these and said we will give it another coat of paint and see how it looks. Well the roller marks still remained and are there to this day. The surprising factor is that jack knew they were there and continued to the next rooms also leaving roller marks and never again addressing them with me. The last room to finish was the TV room and that was the worst of them all as far as paint not applied and or missing paint on the walls. (It should be said that for most of the second week I was not at home and at work during the day). When I got home that Friday of the second week Jack stated they had finished the painting and the flooring (I had asked him to install a floor covering on the utility room that was concrete, that job he did was fine no complaints). Jack said he would email me a bill paid in full over the weekend. He was also to replace a curtain pulley he damaged on the living room curtains which he forgot. I then took a closer look at the TV room and noticed a lot of skipped small areas with no paint, obvious nail pops that he said he would fix along the way which were not done in this room. I then took a photograph of a section of the dining room wall that was obvious had no paint and I sent an email to Jack with that photo, and told him that I was disappointed with parts of this paint job. I now have some doubts as to wether some of my walls even received two coats of paint, if he did apply two coats how do you miss the same spot on the same wall twice in a row. I told Jack in the email that I took care of painting over his mistakes and to just send me the curtain pulley and I would install it myself. I just did not want him back to my house, that's how frustrated and disappointed I was. It's been two weeks since I sent Jack that email to which he never acknowledged or responded to, the curtain pulley is still broken, and I have not received my paid in full bill as promised. I am very disappointed in Jack mostly because of the paint work and also in his non-response to my email I thought he was more the professional, it appears that I was wrong. I do believe that Jack's skill is in construction type work, kitchens, baths, remodeling , etc but not painting.

I spent way too much. He was here the better part of the day and it cost me $700. I was the one that had to run to the store while he worked on the floor. I got the screen material he needed; he didn’t come prepared for that because he wasn’t sure what we needed even though I had told the main person. I did that legwork to cut down on cost; they put the work together. He was very good and very patient. They started out with a lower rate for the first three hours and then the last three hours it jumped up to $65 an hour. I thought that was outrageous. The pricing was a little high. They could have been a little lower, especially in these times. When they knew it was going to be all those hours, they could have charged less. I would use them again in the future but I would probably wrestle a little bit with pricing.

Jack Joyce gave us a detailed estimate and thoroughly explained everything he would do, including the reasoning behind each task. He answered all of our many questions. During the project he ended each day with a walk-through of the work accomplished and informed us of what would take place the next day. They cleaned up well before they left each day. Jack, Keith and Chris did an outstanding job. Probably the most unexpected thing was that he thought about our needs and structured the job so that we never really lost the use of our stove, refrigerator or sink during the entire project, saving us money on eating out. Jack also provided very good recommendations for the cabinetry and back splash tiles, including help with the design. This also saved us money. The most impressive part of the job involved moving our stove from a wall to a corner and building a diagonal partition behind it, which he then readjusted when the cabinets proved to be wider than expected. This also involved moving the gas line. Additionally he installed a new dishwasher and the needed plumbing. He happily went above and beyond the work agreed upon which included refurbishing our pantry, complete with new doors and shelving, installing an outdoor lighting fixture on the back of the house, and repairing a plumbing problem in our basement. Indicative of his work ethic was how well he completed each detail of the job, even in areas that will never be seen, such as the electrical outlet cutout behind the stove, and extra tile work that gave the project a refined and finished look. In fact all of the tile work was impressively detailed and symmetrical. We are extremely pleased with the final look of our kitchen. We smile every time we walk into that room. A big part of that is because of the wonderful working relationship we had with Jack. We highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again on future projects.

I was satisfied with the project from start to completion. Jack would provide daily progress reports by outlining what was the focus of the day - he ended his work day by showing me what had been accomplished. Jack was prompt but when he was running late or unable to keep to his schedule his wife would call to provide an explanation - that was greatly appreciated. Additionally, we have small children and Jack respected our daily routines.

He was absolutely excellent! We were very pleased with his work.
