Jay was very professional and prompt with his initial estimate and when he came to do the job. He is also very reasonably priced charging me considerably less than the original bid.You bet, I would hire him again and hope to.
Description of Work: Jay repaired some very extensive damage done by industrious woodpeckers to the second story cedar trim on my house. The trim has striations that are difficult to duplicate so the repair was tricky. The window frame and corner trim involved look like new and they are beautifully repainted. He also did some other minor paint touch ups on the exterior of my house.

Jay responded to my initial email within 24 hrs. He called to arrange for an appointment and was able to come at the end of my work day. Very nice and professional. Even though this wasn't a big project, he took plenty of time to understand what I wanted and made suggestions to make it better. He had an opening in his schedule and was able to do the project that same week.Jay gave me an estimated price that was reasonable since the removal of the trim on the stairs was going to be time consuming. Jay showed up right on time and I felt very copmfortable in leaving a key while I went to work. The cat door looks great and the cabinet in the garage far exceeds my expectations. It even has 2 round screened windows for ventilation and light. The stair edges look very good without a nick or scratch on the existing flooring. Jay came in right on estimate even though he did some extras and even put a new crew in a door knob. I would highly recommend Jay for any maintenace project and will definately use him again.
Description of Work: Add cat door in wall. Build cabinet in the garage leading from cat door to contain litter boxes. Remove trim from sides of stairs on stairway. Fill any necessary areas for smooth transition to wall.

He's really nice and I would definitely use him again. He was very prompt and punctual with his appointment and showed up on time. I asked him about my fridge and instead of trying to charge me to take a look at it, he told me honestly that he wouldn't be able to and to contact the company itself.
Description of Work: He came and fixed a pipe that had fallen down beneath the sink. He fixed it and it hasn't leaked since.

Excellent. He used wire and foam to block the openings, 3 layers thick.
Description of Work: We were looking for a handyman to biock some openings in a dormer on our house. Tree squirrels had moved in the previous winter and had their offspring, we wanted to prevent their return this fall. Jay returned our message promptly and provided a bid for the work. He was prompt and professional in doing the work and came in under bid. We waited until this fall to see if the repair worked, and it did ! No more squirrels.

Jay dug a new hole, placed a layer of river rock for drainage and then cemented the new post in the ground. He checked many times during the process to make sure the post remained square. He left the area cleaner than he found it. He used a whisk broom and pan to sweep up the small amount of dirt that had fallen in the street. He also offered to rake the bark dust in the parking strip where he had left footprints. I can't remember another time that a workman has ever made me that offer. Very professional install -- plus it looks good.

handyman service, replacement windows
+ 0 more
At the end of the task the windows look wonderful! The old drapes are in the trash. He also took down the old traverse rods for me. He looked at another problem area.......the patio awning, which is bowed due to pillars rotting over time. We discussed a few different approaches and have decided to replace the bad posts with new treated posts.
Description of Work: I attempted to install levolor blinds on two of the large windows recently replaced in my home, and found myself ill-equipped to accomplish the task. One is 96" wide and besides being reallllllly heavy, the directions were a bit confusing. After searching Angies List I discovered J&S and made the call. I found the estimate reasonable and felt it well worth the price to have them installed properly. He came out soon after and was knocking on the door at the precise moment he had scheduled the job.

gutter cleaning, handyman service
+ 0 more
I had a couple of plugged and leaking downspouts and my roof and gutters were overdue for cleaning. I thought that one downspout may need repair, but Jay determined that they were just plugged and worked to clean them out. Also, I can't see the roof on one side as the house backs to a ravine, and mentioned the possibility of moss treatment, but Jay said that all was good and brushed off the roof. Besides his professionalism and courteous manner, I am so glad that he does not go ahead with work that is not needed to help my cost. I can trust also that he treats my older roof gently, instead of the quick and damaging methods used by others. I had called a top-rated company, and they wanted to charge me almost double the price for my ranch daylight/basement home (approx. 1000 sq ft one level, with easy access and normal pitched roof), so I even happier when Jay could do the work. Jay left the area neat and clean as agreed up (I did a little clean-up to save some in one area), with my many plants looking great. With the past 2 storms, all the gutters are working great....I need to prioritize this maintenance item for 1 to 2 times a year due to neighboring firs and maples, and will call Jay again for sure!

We were impressed from the first day Jay came for an estimate. He measured, asked questions, and wrote enough notes that he could pre-build part of the shelving in his workshop. He gave us an estimate of hours and materials. He also demonstrated how to remove scratches on the porcelain/iron sink. The day he was to work here, we were around to watch. We signed a "begin work" contract and a very complete construction agreement. He also gave us an informational notice regarding procedure of arbitrations and lawsuits. Jay does excellent work. He also prepares and measures and cleans up his jobs well. Each project was in a different room, and when he was finished, I walked around smiling at the difference between feeling the house was deteriorating and being able to use areas not formerly available. PRICE: $60/hr plus materials. That's a lot for us, but IMO a fair price for this level of quality work. We would definitely hire Jay again, as well as recommend him to anyone who wants a great job.
Description of Work: Nine house projects were involved, from bolting in a windowbox to fixing a door to building a wall of shelves in the pantry.

Jay responded to my e-mail within hours and came to look at the project on my next day off.I had a list of things I'd been frustrated by - falling off cove-base, mice getting in through an opening under my kitchen sink, and handicap accessible projects I just couldn't do. Plus a split pipe that prevented me from watering out in my front yard. He did it all. He replaced the sloppy cove base with base board and made my 1/2 bath look like an HGTV "poster child" as a result! I had a 3 and 1/2 inch riser for a toilet that the box said would take 30 minutes. That's if you even knew how to move a toilet let alone had the strength to move a toilet in the first place. Jay did a beautiful job with that. He did projects completely - even though I didn't know what to ask for. Caulked the toilet to make it more stable, bought and installed better bolts into the floor for stability. AND you wouldn't know he'd been there "ripping the place apart" because he cleaned everything up when he was done. He listened to what I was saying, and did more than I expected. I now have a smooth entry onto the ramp at my front door, my disabled husband no longer needs grab bars around the toilet, the mice are living outside, HGtV would be proud of the improved 1/2 bath, and my flowers are happy in the front yard. He is fast, thorough, professional and I'm already working up the next list for him to come back and complete! I also have much larger projects I will be asking him to do in the future. He is the best!!
Description of Work: I had a 3/5 inch added under the base of my toilet. I had cove base ripped out of a small 1/2 bath and replaced by baseboard. Our handicap ramp had too much of a rise at the bottom of it so my husband couldn't get his walker up onto the ramp. Jay found an appropriate metal strip to give that rise a more graduated slope. A cutout in the floor under my sink was allowing mice in and he repaired that and built a box around the piping that was there. He also sealed off the places where mice could get through. He installed a close line in my laundry room. Added insulation around a laundry room door. Fixed the tires on my husband's 3 wheeled scooter. Replaced outside pipes and joints that had rusted and split, and were allowing the faucet to gush water out of the pipe.

An appointment was made with Jay and he promptly came to the house and evaluated the job and made some very good suggestions for the type of door and hardware required for the job. Jay listened and understood immediately what we wanted. Jay is a professional, is quick, and left the job in an organized and workmanlike manner. The door is beautiful and looks like the rest of the house and functions precisely. We highly recommend Jay's Company.

Everything went as planned. No problems. See above for details.
Description of Work: We bought a house that was foreclosed on and needed a bit of work to fix it up. We selected J&S Home Maintenance from Angie's list, and Jay was very prompt in returning e-mails, phone calls, answering questions and keeping appointments. He is very knowledgeable and seems fair with his pricing. So far he painted all the fascia board on the house , plus some barge boards. Installed and painted a new exterior door to a storage area, he replaced a non-working bathroom fan, and fixed an exterior electrical outlet. We were very happy with his work and will continue to use him for other projects that we have already lined up for the future.

They were professional, prompt, courteous and very thorough. They seemed to be very interested.

Jay is amazing. We'd worked with him before on replacing exhaust fans in both of our bathrooms, and he did such good work, we had him back to look into a ceiling fan that was scarily separating from the ceiling in our kitchen. Jay was able to see to it right away. He thoroughly investigated the problem, including crawling through the loose insulation in an attic space, then set about sourcing the correct materials and fixing the problem. He even went so far as to fix a broken decorative fan part using a very MacGuyver-esque solution - bonus! He is punctual, professional, detail-oriented, thorough, and a super nice guy. I will continue to hire him for all sorts of work around our home.

I called him and set an appointment for a day later. He came on time and prepared with the tools for the job. He worked neatly and took care not to ruin my carpet. He put a tarp down and used his shop vac to keep the debris to a minimum. He was an absolute dream to work with. So glad I found him. I referred him to my realtor.
