Jim was very honest and informed us the bathroom extractor was functioning properly and there was no need for a new one. The reason for it not working properly was a bee hive he discovered in the vent. He installed the closet door with no issues and quickly. He also did a great job with the kitchen vent and was clean while working (covered the area which he was working on). They were very friendly, honest and even gave us tips for around the home. They were a pleasure to do business with and will definitely hire again.

Because we live in a condo, we had to work with several color constraints when replacing the windoes. Jim shopped and helped us choose the best quality match, while keeping costs in mind. He presented us with various choices, with pros and cons of each. In short, he not only did the work, he gave us a good education so we could make a sound decision. He was patient while we waited for the condo to give approvals.His co-worker, Karen, answered all our questions and was so helpful with each project. I must add that when we agreed to the first proposal, we sent in a check, which they did not cash immediately. Thinking this odd, i called to see if maybe the check didn't make it. Karen explained that they hold the check and would only cash it three days before doing the job. That, I believe, shows real integrity, something sadly rare in this day. Another plus, both Jim and Karen do a lot of volunteer work in the area. People like that, who are always giving back to the community, should be supported in all their efforts. I totally recommend them!!!!
Description of Work: Jim did several jobs for us. He hung doors, totally replaced a double window and removed a dishwasher that was improperly installed, and therefore a pain to remove, and installed a new one.

Handyman refuses to provide proof of insurance. I also requested an itemized list/description of what is wrong with the window and the repairs needed. He agreed to this but a week later refuses to provide the information. I will not be using this person for repairs and think others should think twice about it. I doubt he's insured since he won't provide proof.

Ms [Member Name Removed] is writing untrue items...I was never hired by her....did an estimate only.....we provide ins cert to condo assoc not to indiv people....done work of a greater magnitude in her complex with ins cert....in nj you cant have a license with out insurance and she was told that....being she is a doctor in nj , she should know the licensing rules..She was repeatedly told to go on the NJ Consumer affairs website.. ....she had work done by a previous contractor that failed and was told to go to the condo assoc for related work to her problem....we dont tell the condo assoc what to do and what to fix and not going to give free advice...Additionally, no ins cert goes to the condo assn until the work is contracted....in this case no work was contracted ....She was also told that per the ins agent, no cert goes to the customer , only to the condo assn ...It appears she was burned by another contractor who didnt do the work correctly and JHS is not going to take any backlashing ...additionally my license number is on all trucks and letterheads in compliance with nj cons um affairs and active in proper standing.....It is really ina ppropriate to bad mouth someone that didn't do work for you and follows the protocol in NJ as well as the condo assoc.

Jim, Caren, and his contractor, Rich, were professional, tidy, and quiet. Jim has very high quality standards. When he initially replaced the rotted wood planks with aluminum, it was a tricky installation, and he was unhappy with the results. He returned the following week to re-install the aluminum so that it was neater. Also, Jim and Caren are generous with their advice. They gave us great advice about other home improvements we could conduct, and what to look for when buying replacement exterior lights. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend Jim to anyone seeking a handyman.
Description of Work: Jim performed several key repairs around our home including, installing a new exterior pipe for an outdoor sink, installing a new bathroom light / fan, installing a bathroom & kitchen vent, removing exterior lights, and replacing exterior gutters and rotted wood planks with aluminum.

I will definitely call Jim's Handyman service for all of my future handyman needs. I called them because I remembered seeing his truck in the area and seeing his advertisement in a local paper. Jim was very easy to schedule, came when he said he would come, and was willing to accept a challenging job which was completed perfectly. Most importantly, he did quality work at a very reasonable price. Another plumber I called for an estimate quoted me a price which was double what Jim charged, and that didnt even include repair to the drywall. Jim and Caren were very honest and very easy to do business with. Completely a hassle-free repair and it was done correctly the first time. Thank you for a job well done. I will be sure to call again when something else needs repairing around the house.

Jim was great. Came out over the weekend to inspect the damage, gave us a verbal quote on the spot but followed up with a job estimate via email, then came back out a couple days later to complete the job. Incredibly responsive, easy to work with, high quality work, and very professional. Would definitely use Jim again.

All went very well. Jim answered my calls promptly, met with me, took measurements, built the gate at his workshop and then brought it over and completed the installation. Gate looks great and matches the existing deck railing. It is very sturdy and will keep my pet secure in the yard. Jim answers calls promptly, his prices are reasonable and he is very professional. I will definitely use him again and recommend him.

we look forward to working with you and your mom....
The job went very well. Replacing the window was 90% of the work. When the old window was removed, unexpected water damage was discovered to the wood above and below the window. The old window had been installed incorrectly, resulting in water leaking into the area around the window. Jim removed the damaged wood, went to Home Depot to get the necessary replacement wood and installed it. Then he installed the new window correctly (so that it wouldn't leak). The work to fix the dishwasher installation and other window were small by comparison and they were done fine. Everything near the inside work was draped at the start of the work and everything inside and out was cleaned up at the end. I will definately use him again
Description of Work: Replaced a window, fixed an improperly installed dishwasher, and fixed a window that wouldn't open and close properly
