Description of Work: Had Jim pull up carpet and repaint room, as well as a few more minor odds and ends. Jim is ultra-responsive, clear in his communication, and fair in his prices. A pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to contact him again for any of our handyman needs.

See the above comments
Description of Work: Mr. McDaniel was unable to provide the type of work I needed done. What I needed was finish carpentry work and Mr. McDaniel was very honest and forthright with me. I appreciated the advice he gave me concerning what type of contractor I should be looking for. When he came out to look at the job he was very courteous, professional and punctual. Thanks Jim for your input. I will definitely call you if I have any projects in the future that are in your area of expertise.

Description of Work: I thank my lucky stars for the day I saw Jim's reviews on Angie's List. He is a pleasure to work with, prompt, intelligent, knowledgeable and honest. I have had him do a number of jobs at my home and have been totally pleased in every aspect. We discuss my thoughts and he walks me through aspects I may not have thought about, he explains what he can do and more importantly - if a specialist is necessary, for example a licensed contractor he tells me. He only takes on what he can do well and so far everything I have needed done he's done with good result. I am pleased to have his number on speed dial in my phone!

childproof railing
Description of Work: Jim took care of repairs that my husband and I could not do. He removed a childproof railing from our steps and patched the holes, repaired towel bar that had come loose, patched the tile in our tub and repaired a toilet paper holder. He is also going to paint an area in our finished basement when we figure out the right color. Jim was overall excellent. He is super nice and very responsive. Good communicator. Punctual. He took care of everything he said he would in a timely manner. We would definately use him again!

Overall a good experience.
Description of Work: McDaniel did a really nice job on several rather random areas - hanging towel racks, cleaning behind appliances, painting and wall hangings. Definitely a man of many trades and a nice personality. He was professional and punctual. I originally contacted Jim because of a heinous mouse infestation. Jim found several points of entry and put steel wool in some hard to reach places. So far so good - they aren't getting in! Jim also worked on a very difficult smoothing and painting job in our basement - he was able to restore the wall and it looks really good. He was the 3rd person to do it in ten years and by far the best. My only criticism is the floor where he moved the washing machine. In retrospect he should have used a device under the machine before pulling it out as it left some scratches in the floor. I would hire McDaniel again but would probably avoid moving large appliances if it's a one-man job.

Description of Work: We needed many different things repaired around the house. But the biggest part of the work was replacing window trim and caulking leaky windows. Jim met with me, looked the job over, gave some suggestions, and sent a proposal. He estimated that the work would require 2 men over 2 days. We later contacted him, and set up a date for the work to be done. He and his crew arrived on time and finished the work plus a couple of additional things in 2 days. They were neat and pleasant to work with, and the workmanship was excellent. We are planning to use his company additional work next year.

EXCELLENT!
Description of Work: Removed old gutter guards. Cleaned gutters. Caulked a few windows . Also did caulking around bricks where cracks had occured. Used a masonry caulk. Turned out really nice. The caulk blended into the existing brick pointing and masonry well. This saved me a lot of money instead of getting brick pointing. Would definitely use again. W,P.A.

Description of Work: I didn't use this service because after observing the problem, he informed me he wouldnt be able to help because he didn't have the proper equipment. If I had another job I was ready for him to do at this time, I would hire him. He showed up on time for the estimate and didn't try to tell me he could fix something that he couldn't.

You can read my earlier review in which Jim washed and stained my deck. This time, I asked Jim to finish framing a window that a previous owner had not installed properly. Again, Jim's work was absolutely fantastic, and the results greatly exceeded my expectations. I was out of town when the work was completed, but Jim kept me apprised of his progress via email. If you choose to work with Jim--and you should!--you are working with a local guy who is honest, professional, enthusiastic, and committed to doing work as if it were his own house. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Re-frame a window (sand off old paint, carpentry work around window, paint, and seal).

Jim is a true professional. My family has been blessed by finding his service. I will never hesitate to use him. In fact, he has been working on a number of projects for us for over a year now. If it's something he doesn't feel comfortable doing, Jim will tell you right away. You will not go wrong selecting Jim to service your needs. His prices are very fair...

Jim is fantastic! Great work, great communication, great price. He's enthusiastic, helpful, punctual, honest, and friendly. He arrived within hours of my call for an estimate. He answered my questions and quickly scheduled my work. I'm thrilled with the look of the deck. Will definitely call Jim again soon for some carpentry work.

Jim McDaniel called shortly after receiving my message and made an appointment to perform work the next day, early evening. He arrived promptly as scheduled and worked diligently for a bit over an hour. From conversations about other work that needed to be done, it was obvious that he is very familiar with the workings of a house, unlike so many other trades people whom I have contacted for various jobs. As other reviewers have said, he wants the job done right. He was neither condescending nor evasive in answering my questions; he just gave straight answers that were to the point. He is also willing to explore other avenues that offer solutions that meet the customer?s needs. Finally, I truly appreciated the respect with which he treated my humble house. He carefully placed towels where needed and removed and replaced furniture that risked being marred. And it was most refreshing not to have to put up with disparaging comments about my tiny house. I certainly recommend Jim for jobs that need doing and endorse the other fine reviews he has received.

Jim was very proactive in scoping our project and provided us with an accurate estimate and a time line that met our schedule and budget. He showed up on time, worked diligently and professionally and cleaned up after each power washing session. We have an old stone home and were concerned about damage from power washing. Jim has gifted hands. His years of experience were evident through his care and sensitivity for our specific needs. It is a pleasure to work with a professional who truly loves his craft. The results were fantastic, better than we expected. We will hire Jim again and again. He's a multi-talented craftsmanl who works with a smile.

Jim is a rare breed. A true professional, extremely considerate, fair, and honest. He is a jack of many trades and if he can't do the work, he won't waste your money. He is extremely senstive to his mision statement of developing return customers and building positive relationships with his constomers. I am so glad that we met Jim and plan to be a loyal customer for many years to come. You will not be dissapointed if you call him.
