tI called James Payne the first of the week and explained I had some repairs we needed taken care, some of which I did not have time to do and some I was not able to do. He came out on Wednesday and looked them over, gave me an estimate of around $200 and we set it up for the following Monday. I did tell him about my son going into the hospital at the end of that week so I really needed to get these repairs done at least before then. He made some calls and was able to come out the very next day if that was okay with us which of course it was. We went out and bought the light fixtures that evening so he would have them there. He said he would be out at 0930 am, and at 0925 James was at our front door. On tackling the broken drawer, he did find that there were some broken parts he was not aware of, so he did have to run out to get those which took no time at all. He as done by around 0230 pm and our final bill was $210.00 due to the extra parts. James is a very nice man and we enjoyed having him at our home doing these jobs and will definitely call on him again in the future when needed.
Description of Work: James fixed a broken kitchen cabinet drawer, took down old lighting fixtures in our patio inclosure and installed new ones, repaired a down spout on side of house, repaired the dead bolt on our front door, and cleaned out the gutters I could not get to without getting on the roof.

James is very courteous, was prompt and did an excellent job.

Very thorough job in pruning diseased branches from a tree, patching a cracked wooden section on the outside of our hut tub and removing an old hot tub cover and firepit to go the trash.
Description of Work: James did tree trimming, hot tub frame repair and trash removal, this timel. Additionally on other visits (at least 3) he demonstrated a wide range of skills including painting, carpentry, electrical patio light installation. He is very thorough and does a excellent job of cleaning up the work area before he leaves . Also if the job is beyond his scope (like tile replacement) he recommends very qualified individuals who also do excellent jobs.

Would not contact this individual again.
Description of Work: I contacted this company based on the reviews from Angie's List. The gentlemen was very rude, saying he was on vacation and would get back with me the next week. Never asked my name or for my phone number. Obviously, I never heard from him again.

Everything went very well. It took two days and both days Mr. Payne was punctual, professional, personable, and clean. Of course, we will have to wait to see if the repairs last, but Mr. Payne told us to call him anytime if anything goes wrong. We have had this done by someone else previously and we can tell immediately that this job by Mr. Payne was done correctly - not like the job done previously. We recommend this company.

He was exceptional. He had great ideas and pointed out things that needed to be done. He told me things that could be done without spending a lot of money. He was very good and very thorough. He called back later to make sure everything was done right. If I need other things fixed, he is the one I will call.

I have never had any issues with James' work, his prices, or his professionalism. Best of all, he cleans up after the job.
Description of Work: I have used One Man and A Van on several occasions over the last year. I no longer bother to call any other handyman service unless James tells me he does not do the work I need. When I call James, he comes prepared to do the job if I accept his estimate. There is never any pressure. His estimates a reasonable. James stands by his work. He always calls a day or two later to be sure the work remains satisfactory.

We highly recommend him. He comes on occasions to do odd jobs around the house. He's reliable and is fair in his estimates and in his cost. He does his work in a timely manner and he doesn't extend it out. He comes when he says he's going to come. We would use him again in the future.

James was super professional. I received several estimates, his was not the cheapest, but definitely the most thorough. He was the only handyman that really measured the door, went up in the storage space and gave me a realistic estimate. I felt the others were likely to run into problems once the job started and it would end up costing a lot more. James is also the only one who actually researched the part needed (door w/pull down stairs) so was able to give me realistic costs and be sure it fit. He was extremely thorough. Did extras, like moving the light to a better position and dragging all the junk down without charging me more. Cleaned up great. Door looks wonderful and works well. I will definitely be using him again.
Description of Work: Replaced pull-down (with stairs) door to storage in garage. Moved light in storage area & brought down junk from up in storage.

He has been awesome. His name is James Payne. I spent $100 the last time, but before that he did 2 pages of small odd jobs that was about $4000. He did anything from plastering to parking to putting in a new ceiling. He's great. He helped me get my house ready to sell. When I suggested some things that I thought I needed to do, he helped me save money by pointing out some things that I should do and how I could make things look good without spending a lot of money. He did not have expertise to do some plumbing so he brought in someone to help him and just included it in the price.

James arrived on time and started working on the screen and finished it promptly. I had a few minore repairs with my front door lock and blinds on a window which were not functioning properly. He was able to figure out quickly and get them done. Very pleasant/honest experience. Would recommed to anybody who needs repair done.

He came out right away and looked at the repair my husband had started. He said my husband was fixing it just fine and that my husband should just finish what he was doing. He said he could fix it at a fair cost, but that he'd just be doing the same thing my husband was already. He also went on to give me advice on how to make sure the job was watertight when it was done! I felt it was very honest of him and such great customer service to take his time to come out and look at the job and even give me free advice, all without getting any work out of it! I would definitely hire him! I called him because I've seen his van in two different neighbors' driveways, so I know others in my neighborhood use him as well. By NOT getting my business he made me a fan.
Description of Work: I had him come out to talk to me about repairs to a couple of pieces of Hardi-board siding that broke off the side of my house. While it looked like something my husband could fix himself, I was worried that it wasn't "as easy as it looked" and that if we repaired it ourselves, water might get in and cause damage in the future. I wanted a professional to look at it regarding fixing the siding and painting the repair.

n the afternoon on the day I called. He was right on time. He showed me the sump pumps which were available and recommended the least expensive model. He also added a safety back up. He worked quickly and left no mess whatsoever. I don't recall the actual price; however, I do recall feeling it was very fair. I have called Mr. Payne since. When I explained what I needed, he told me he didn't feel that he could do a good job. He declined the work. I will call him anytime I have work to be done.
Description of Work: Removed old sump pump and reinstalled a new one.

I was very pleased with their work, but they are a little pricey. It may only took them an hour to fix something and the price was just too high for how long it took them to actually do the work. I feel like they can improve if they estimated/billed per hour so I can actually see how much I am spending. The were punctual, very efficient, and did exactly what they said they were going to do. I asked them how I wanted it done and they did not argue the went ahead and did it the way I wanted it done. They listened to my input.
