Description of Work: I paid for 2 blocks of handy man for 4 hours. I thought this meant anything i needed done which was shower and vanity replacement |I was told they dont do that under "handy man" but they would give me a quote and i could put $ i paid towards it. I feel this particular add is misleading.

David who came out from JBL Home Improvements Inc. Company the discussion was very nice. He was professional. He was polite. He seemed very knowledgeable. It was definitely worth while discussing the project with him. He certainly did impress me. I would consider using them in the future depending on their final bid.

David was on time for the estimate and every day of service. He was always professional, patient with my questions, and cleaned up after work every day. His estimate was very reasonable and any unforeseen work added minimal charges to the initial estimate. As a new home-owner, he made me feel very comfortable and I would absolutely use him again.
Description of Work: They painted a skim coat on the master bedroom ceiling, skim coat on the hallway ceiling, skim coat on the kitchen ceiling, skim coat on the small bedroom walls, removed the hallway floor-to-ceiling mirrors and paneling, installed sheet rock on damaged hallway walls, and pass through from kitchen to dining room.

David (owner) returned my call the same day I left a message. Showed up on time for estimate. Detailed estimate was delivered a day later via email (very convenient). Their estimate was not the lowest, but I was impressed with references and the suggestion to use Azek synthetic trim. Agreed to do the job (first- one window, to see how it would go). David and crew showed up on time and he was personally on job site the entire time. I did not see activities on the site, but the job was done beautifully and as advertised. All construction debris was removed completely.The job site was so clean it looked like no one had ever been there. It went so well that I decided to do all 3 windows. I will use JBL in the future for other work and I highly recommend them. I would say that they should be considered not just as handyman services but as general residential construction/remodelers as well.
Description of Work: Removed rotted siding and millwork around three large box bay windows and replaced with all new Azek trim board material, caulked and sealed.

Great. They were very responsive and worked quickly and well. When working in our older home, a few surprises came up which changed the estimates, but Dave talked us through all differences, and the prices were still reasonable and not hugely different from the original estimates. Dave was also very knowledgeable and was able to give us a few options/suggestions on ways that the jobs could be done. We would definitely use him in the future.
Description of Work: JBL did a partial redo of our kitchen (tear out of old drywall, ceiling, insulation, then re-insulated, put in new drywall and framed two doors and a window; installed new ceiling fixtures; moved cabinets); removed and installed new basement steps; installed new basement bilco doors (subcontractor).

Dave responded promptly to our request for an estimate which were very pleased with. He gave us a date and time and to start the work and arrived as promised. Although our siding was aged he was able to get a color that blended very well. The repair of the wall with insulation inside and out was performed quickly and expertly. He applied spackle on three consecutive days and you can't even tell where the repair was. Great job!!

I would definitely recommend JBL Home Improvements to anyone that needs work done on their home. Dave and his crew take pride in their work and were very professional from start to finish. The price was reasonable and we plan to use them again in the future. Don't hesitate to call them for any home improvements that you need. You'll be glad you did.
Description of Work: The rear entrance to my house and the side entrance both needed new overhangs. One turned out to be a small job in which Dave's crew removed the existing cedar shakes and replaced them with roofing shingles as I had requested. The side entrance had an overhang that needed to be completely rebuilt and Dave offered to do that or build a new one that would be slightly larger and that's what we agreed on. He also removed the existing Iron railings and replaced them with really nice vinyl ones. During the construction, I uncovered some water damage in another part of the house and Dave and his crew immediately made the repairs for me.

Dave was always prompt with appointments. Dave came with his crew and started interior work. Everyday they cleaned up after themselves vacuuming and sweeping. Overall work took 1 week. Very professional. Waited until my family was out of the house before starting interior work so as not to disturb us.
