Hi, My name is Jim Caeran and two years ago I relocated from Boston to New York City. I have worked as a subcontractor for construction and maintenance companies as well as owning my own business for the past 20 years in the New England area. I started my own company Kezo Maintenance Management in 2017 in NYC and have been busy ever since. I have done many different aspects of construction over the years including tile work, vanities, kitchen cabinets, faucets, toilets, tubs and shower enclosures. I install dry wall, flooring, decks & window installation. I have done finishing work such as: molding, trim and exterior/interior doors. I have worked on many re-modeling jobs from start to finish. I have assembled many Ikea, Wayfair, Container Store, RH, Crate & Barrel (etc.) products and built custom shelving. I have experience in hanging art work, mirrors, cabinetry, doors, ac units and televisions on brick, cement and sheetrock. I own all tools necessary to do the work that I do. I am neat, tidy and friendly and work efficiently at a fast pace. I am reliable, punctual and honest when it comes to all aspects of the job. I prefer to let people know up front the cost is $100 an hour with a 2 hour minimum, so even if the job is only 1 hour or less the house call will be $200. Please ask me any questions pertaining to the work you would like accomplished. Check out my reviews and pictures and give me a call whenever you need a handyman. Thank you, Jim 917.755.2098 www.kezomaintenancemanagement.com

I can’t recommend Jim enough! He was so kind and efficient, and his wife Beth was so sweet and helpful. I will definitely be using them again for future projects.

Amazing. Jim did a bunch of things from mounting TV to installing Elfa shelves to fixing furniture and faucets and more. Have already had him back once and another time on the way. His wife Beth handles scheduling and accounting flawlessly. Jim is also extremely trustworthy - he won't claim to be able to do a job he can't perform - love that. Thanks Jim and Beth!

Probably the most aggressive, rude customer service process I've ever dealt with for a handyman and unfortunately it wasn't even him that was the problem! After countless messages and being vetted on the phone over and over again by Beth, wife of Jim who is actually the handyman doing the actual work, I was charged for over $100 for over an hour of work. After being told many many times how important and busy Jim is, I was forced to go to Home Depot with my 73 year old father in the middle of a pandemic to buy anchors for my shelves and to PAY FOR HIS UBER over to my apartment, an inflated price that was pre-determined by his wife because of "heightened costs during COVID" despite their home being 10 minutes away. When Jim did come in for the work - I was understandably on edge, expecting more of the rude, short, curt, entitled behavior his wife exhibited in messages and over the phone - he was beyond kind and helpful. Clearly she should not be managing his bookings. The work was solid so I tried to re-book to finish some things and the NIGHT BEFORE she texts to confirms and then balks at him doing an hour of work. Tries to up charge me for MORE MONEY than previously charged for an hour of work. When I said I didn't feel comfortable paying more than I did before for an hour of work - she cancelled on his behalf and sent more rude and entitled messages. Jim is great at his job, but its not worth it as you have to deal with his wife's unprofessional behavior.

I have PMS! Not! I'm kind, little sarcastic & funny, caring, patient person you'll ever meet. I’m a children’s ballet teacher, work with special needs & underprivileged children. I believe 2 sides to every story, bad press is better than no press. The customer reached out, I sent info stating a 2 hr minimum house call $200. Needed to fix shelving but felt our price high. Totally fair. Previously paid to hang shelves that ended falling off. A few days later called, had furniture coming & wanted to hire. Jim was booked. She explained shelves were a danger. Didn’t know if children/pets resided, Jim agreed to come on Sunday as a favor. I did reiterate we'd be away for the weekend & had to return a rental car & couldn't give a time because of traffic. Decided to leave early for timing. Agreed on an upfront charge $25 for a Sunday with an Uber plus hour charge of $100 & she needed brackets. I texted Sun morning the time, she mentioned a bench to assemble. The shelves rehung & bench assembled, she was happy. The brackets were wrong, used own anchors, no charge. She was appreciative, thanked him for his work. A week later she booked to assemble furniture. I reminded her of $200 minimum. Again worked her in, pushed a job back. She thanked me, sent out confirmation. Night before sent reminder. She reached back & all furniture didn't arrive & could pay $100. I kindly explained to please rebook or pay $200 min. Texts started, what a terrible person I am, how it's Covid, what's happening in the world, I should be ashamed of myself. Honestly didn't need to be threatened or shamed. Finally the not so nice accusatory text, enough, compelled to cancel! I guess I still learn from different experiences. I stayed kind but she was not happy, she threatened me with a bad review. I realize I can’t please everyone, I like to be treated with kindness, so I’ll continue treating our customers with honesty while being compassionate to their needs and expectations. This is why our logo reads “WHERE ALL YOUR NEEDS COME FIRST”. Hugs, Beth

Jim and Beth were extremely kind and professional. They responded right away by email and telephone. They provided a quote, showed up on time and did a fantastic job installing two indoor therapy swings for kids. Since I live in California but the work was performed at my sister’s house in New York, Beth and Jim called me upon completion of the work and sent pictures. I highly recommend them.

I can't say enough about Jim and his wife Beth. They truly were a joy to deal with in all aspects of the job. From the quick responses to all inquiries and friendly phone manner in the initial call to Jim's on time arrival, and his exemplary knowledge of all aspects of home repair and skill in performing all the jobs we asked of him they exceeded all our expectations. All the tasks were done quickly and efficiently. His rates are very reasonable especially when considering how efficiently he works and how much he gets done per hour. I will be using him in the future for all my home repair/renovations.
