Even though he had to improvise some of the steps during the light installation , it went very well. The drain installation also went well.
Description of Work: James relaced a recessed light on my porch with a hanging light. It was not a simple exchange. A new electric box had to be installed and this required working above the soffit. He also installed a new pop-up drain in a bathroom.

I made an appointment with James. His availability met my needs. He arrived on time, and after I showed him four things that I needed to be fixed, he gave me an estimate. Because one of the problems was less severe than I thought, his actual charges were less than the estimate. I was very pleased with all of his work.
Description of Work: James repaired wind damage to the soffit in two places (one of which contained a birds nest), re-installed a second story shutter - again wind damage, and fixed an electral fixture in my laundry room.

He would not do the job because the roof is too steep. If you need a handyman to work outdoors he is probably not your man.

James was excellent, going above and beyond the call of duty to help. Made multiple trips to Home Depot and Lowes for me. Kept saying he'd do everything he could to make sure I was satisfied, and to call if something was wrong and he'd come back and fix it. Made good suggestions on things to fix to help the house get maximum value when sold.
Description of Work: Variety of handyman items: Fixed the back door, replaced the door frame, changed out doorknobs and handles, painted the doors and trim, fixed a kitchen drawer that broke.

In my opinion: James was great. He is very knowledgeable and knocked out in a few days what it would have taken me months to accomplish. When he needed an extra hand, he brought in another handyman who was wonderful too. They even rescued me last winter when the circulation pump went out on my hot tub and I couldn't find a pool service company that would work on it immediately and the weather was dropping below freezing. They built a fabulous pet enclosure below my deck and installed a pet door. I would hire again.
Description of Work: Various odd jobs around my house, including lighting, door lock installation/repair, installed mailbox, outlet repair, toilet repair, building a pet enclosure, installing a circulation pump on my hot tub, etc.

James is a personable guy and I felt comfortable having him in my home. He arrived early and worked diligently on the projects. After 2 hours he was unable to fix my lock, but did try hard to do so. He gave me some good ideas for alternative fixes. My only issue is that I ended up paying $75 basically for the rescreening since the lock never did get fixed. I felt like this was a lot to pay for that, although I realize he did give me 2 hours of his time. Next time I will do a better job of negotiating a cost for the work that is (or isn't) done! I was ultimately able to fix my problem myself using one of his suggestions.
Description of Work: I had James out to do some work on a broken lock. He also replaced some screening for me.

James was very responsive in returning my call and scheduling time to come to my home and review the projects I needed done. We spent approximately 30 minutes going over the items. He stated he would work up a price estimate and give me a call back. I received the call approximately 2 weeks after we met. He stated that he had been very busy and had not had time to get the estimate completed. He would try to get it done that week. I informed him that I would not need pricing. I had moved forward and was working with another service provider.

James was very pleasant to work with and a true professional. He responded to my initial request the same day, had an estimate for me the following morning, and completed all of the work within a week, spending two whole days at my home. The workmanship was great and the price was very fair considering I would have had to call a plumber, painter, and perhaps a carpenter to do all of the work James was able to do by himself. We have finally found someone we trust to do handy work when needed.
Description of Work: Replace and repaint trim/panels at front entrance to home; install new disposal, replace broken window lock, re-caulk two bathrooms, paint exterior bay window sill, apply Kilz water stain remover to ceiling including vaulted master bdrm, and found us a reliable appliance repairman for our gas cooktop.

James did an excellent job. He's extremely detail-oriented and even wiped the finderprints off the lightbulbs after he installed them. He took the time to do the project right, and I'm 100% happy with his work.

Good experience. Very professional.
Description of Work: He replaced baseboard in our finished basement. It had been torn out after water damage in the finished basement. He bought the wood, painted it and put it in place. Looks very good, even better than the original. He had to match pieces and did a good job.

It was okay. He quoted the price, but once he started working he realized he had to do more than expected so he increased the price. I would have preferred he gave me a set price and not changed it has he went on.

We had some aluminum siding come off the house during the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I called James the next morning, and he was there by evening. Since it was getting dark, he could not finish the job, so he returned the next morning and finished. The siding had gotten bent when it fell off, but James straightened it out and put it back up. It looks about as good as you could expect, considering everything! James did a very conscientious job.
