Mr. Shim came out on a Sunday to repair my porch. He was professional and courteous as well as quick.
Description of Work: The center support on my front porch stairs was non-existent to the point where the post office gave me notice to fix them.

Finding Shimmy is finding a gem. He was 4 out of about 20 people that I called for this work. He made himself available for the estimate immediately. Shimmy was on time, every time he said he would be there. He explained what he would do in detail and clearly answered all of my questions. He was always responsive and timely returning via phone calls or text messages. My screen door is back on track and opening and closing beautifully. And the railing is up and strong again. Shimmy gives a 30-day guarantee on his work. He is fairly priced. It was a pleasure doing business with him. Thank you, Shimmy!
Description of Work: Back screen sliding door has been off-kilter, stuck and eventually fell out of the track. Stair railing was pulled out of the wall. It's really tough to find people the "small" jobs anymore. I think many contractors and handymen forget that what seems small to them is pretty big to the homeowner.
