Chris Jackson's Contracting

Chris and crew very professional and courteous. Chris came by and gave me an estimate and returned the next morning with crew and completed work. Everything looks great. Chris also fixed 2 "sticking doors". And one his guys noticed some missing caulk on a window and replaced it. I will be using them again.

Chris viewed the job on 3-16-16 and gave an estimate. He returned on 3-24-16. I told him that I would leave the back door to the garage unlocked so that he had access into the garage. I also texted him this information on 3-23-16. I discussed with him that there was an underground pipe to connect the down spout to. He called me at work and left a message that he could not get into the garage and that he could not find an existing underground pipe. So he left. The garage door was UNLOCKED but he tried the front door. He returned on 3-25-16 and installed the mail slot. I paid him the 475. He said since he could not find the existing pipe he would need to install a new system costing $375.00 He told me to call him a week to set up a time. The next day I dug near where he had been digging and found the existing drain pipe. I photographed the site and sent it to him on 3-25-16, no response. I resent it on 4-1-16, with no response. I called him on4-4-16 and spoke with him directly,. He said that he had the photos and text messages and he would come by on 4-6-16, measure for a few feet of pipe and finish the job. He never showed and has failed to complete an already paid for job. I had to hire another handyman who completed the work for $75.00 on 4-18-16. I believe that Chris Jackson owes me a refund of at least $75.00.

I contacted Chris back in February regarding the outlets, doors, gutter, and downspout. We made an appointment for an estimate and Chris came out within a week. I work nights, so making appointments is difficult, but Chris worked with me on this. While he was looking around at the jobs that I needed done, he also noticed my loose stair railing and back wall bolts that were installed years ago when waterproofing the basement. He mentioned that should be tightened every few years and these have not. He returned at the end of the week and did the gutters, reattached the gutter and down spout, installed two outlets, and did the bolts. Today, March 29th, he arrived around 9AM as promised and installed my custom made door and surprised me with a screen door that he and his worker took apart and rebuilt to fit my doorway. They even kept in mind that I have cats and put a guard over the bottom half of the door to keep the cats from destroying the screen. He then came to my rescue, when I discovered that one of my water pipes had sprung a leak. This was fixed very quickly as well as the loose stair railing. Chris does excellent work. He takes great pride in what he does and rightfully so. I look forward to using Chris in the future. His prices are compatible with other companies but I think the quality exceeds others. Kudos to Chris and his crew. This is the second time that I have used Chris Jackson and I will continue to do so.

Chris and his co worker did an exceptional job. I knew there was a stud in the way so the had to cut that out and build a frame/bridge. They did a wonderful job, I will surely use them again for any future jobs.

Chris was on vacation when I first contacted him via Angie's List 'cause of good reviews. Contacted me when he returned, we met for review and estimate and were good to go. This was to be maybe a half-day job with nothing very intense, based on the inspection before buying the home. Chris showed up on time with a team and equipment and got to work. Even during the estimate he was good at explaining what was of importance or priority, and discovered an issue with a toilet not mentioned in the inspection. Afterwards he was good at explaining what will be needed in the future. Long story short, once the team got to work we discovered some leaky things and mushy wood, and the half-day job turned into basically a full-day job. Totally expecting them to say they would have to come back, but nope! They really went to it . Some of the team had to get more stuff, while the others continued working on the various items, and then they all just kept at it. Chris seems like a bit of a character, and really seemed to be watching over everything even while doing what he was doing. All the workers were pleasant and friendly and seemed to work well together. Really glad I called them, and feel much more secure knowing certain issues with the house are fixed. Thanks!

When he did it, it was like he had done nothing at all. There was was still a leak.

I have used Mr. Jackson and his crew several times at an old house and this new house over the last 8 years. I was unaware that he does house painting and needed some repainting of the front of my house. The original estimate was amazing, but when the work started, we renegotiated a higher price for the painting due to the complexity of the job. Workers were great. The crew also repainted a previous pantry room, a child's room, and completed odds and ends. We were happy with this work and will use Mr. Jackson again. I really did not mind a renegotiation of the price of the work. I trust Mr. Jackson is offering a fair and reasonable quote for the work of the project he offers to do. I also know that Mr. Jackson takes much pride in his work and the work of the craftsmen that he employs. Pictures available.

I had Chris give me a quote in June for a complete bathroom remodel. A second contractor underbid him and so I decided to go with the cheaper of the two. The contractor that I chose, never did the job. Every time I tried to set up a time, he never had his calendar and then he just quit returning my calls. No apology or explanation. So I decided to go through Home Depot. They use Pro Rebath to do their remodels. They quoted us a price that was compatible with the first quote that Chris gave us. However, they did not do painting or replace windows. They spent 3 1/2 days on my bathroom and it was not complete. I then got in contact with Chris and explained my dilemma. I felt guilty that I had not used him in the first place. The job ended up costing me more then if I had went with his original quote. However, I now have a beautiful bathroom. Chris gave me a quote in November and said that he could do the job in December. However, I received a call shortly after from someone who was working with Chris and he said that he would like to come that Saturday to put in my block window. He custom built a block window for me and was careful to clean up. He was in and out in less then two hours. The window looks wonderful. The workers that came and did the painting, the medicine cabinet, and door fixtures acted very professional. They were mindful that we had cats and were careful as to not allow them to escape. They cleaned up after they were done and allowed us to check out their work to make sure that we were satisfied.

They need to pay attention to detail to get higher grades. I asked him to come out and install the light fixtures properly. It was not at the center of the vanity they installed.

He kept his word and followed through. He called and followed up on the job and came back to fix any issues I had. He completely fixed the larger gap on the outside of the doors. Cleaned up some paint smears on the baseboard.

Chris came to our home estimated our needs and scheduled a day to perform the work. On the day agreed upon, Chris was prompt and professional. We were pleased with his work and the price was fair. We highly recommend Chris Jackson's Contracting.

Everything was great. Chris came out and estimated the project. Scheduled the date he was coming and showed up on that date and did everything he needed to do. The projects were varied but all were done as required and in one day. He was very professional about the schedule and the work was clean when he left. The jobs were ranging from plumbing to small carpentry and he did all of them well. The price seemed fair for all the work that had to be done.

Chris Jackson returned my email through Angie's List. He said since it was a small job, they would normally do it at the end of a day, when they were in the neighborhood, which was fine with me. I called Chris at noon on Tuesday, and he got back to me circa 5pm and said his guys were on the way over. The guys were very friendly and professional. It actually took us longer to get the plaque and numbers out of the plastic packaging than it did for them to mount the plaque and put the numbers up. Again, I realize this is a small job that a lot of people would DIY, but this is why I'm a subscriber to Angie's List, so I don't even have to think about Doing It Myself. I would much rather pay someone a reasonable fee and have it done right. This also allowed me to try out this provider so that next time I have a small job, I feel comfortable calling them to do it for me.

Chris Jackson Contracting cleaned the gutters on a our house. They did a excellent job. They were prompt, professional and the price was very reasonable. We look forward to using them again in the near future.

Chris and his fantastic team did the work as promised on time, even when I had to reschedule. They take pride in their work, do it right, show up on time, and clean up every day. This is the 2nd time we used Chris Jackson and we had a great experience. I will use Chris again.

Excellent craftsmanship . Friendly staff. Beautiful results.

From Chris' initial visit to give us an estimate to his follow-up call the day after to check and see if I was satisfied, the whole experience was a pleasure. All three people I had contact with were polite and professional and very willing to answer my questions. While Nick was finishing up, Tony even did two minor "honey-do" chores at no additional charge. I will definitely call them in the future.

he came, quickly diagnosed the problem(s) and did the repairs promptly with an able assistant and a plethora of tools. this guy knows his s--t, bigtime.

I described the nature of the problem - basement waterproofing; he asked me for my location, when I told him Murrysville, his tone changed abruptly: he said to the effect "well, we have had problems with Murrysville; let me ask you a question: are you interested in the lowest price or are you interested in a relationship which a company"; I answered I was not looking for a relationship, just someone who would solve the problem; he said well, there is maintenance, etc.; I told him he was prejudging me based on where I lived, and based on this fact alone, and his arrogance, I would not do any business with him;

He just watched his employees work and didn't really do anything himself. One of his employees fixed my leaking bathroom faucet but had a difficult time doing it. I noticed after he left that it was a little crooked. They ended up arguing with me on how it was to be installed.

It was very nice to have all on my list taken care of in one day. ---Reinstall cabinet door, install stair handle and shelf, cement window well bricks, paint baseboards, touch up paint walls, remove ceiling light fixture and patch dry wall, wash windows, weed yard, put heavy sofa downstairs, move dresser downstairs. Whew! It was great to have it all done at once!

They did a good job. Had to repair the backboard and replace a couple tiles.

Mr Jackson stopped by within a few days and provided a detailed estimate for repairs for the folding door and front driveway gate. He followed up within a week with an associate to complete the job just as he bid it. Very prompt and competent repairs.

Price is good and service is excellent

We usually make a list of handyman jobs as they develop and when we have a long list we call Chris Jackson because we have used his services several times to our great satisfaction. This time was no exception. The jobs covered about three days work. Two different crews ( two men each crew) did the work, with Chris often working alongside them. We sometimes add jobs to do while the work is ongoing (this time it was the faucet repair, one extra garage wall to paint, and washing machine balancing). We trust Chris enough to ask him to tell us if he sees anything else that needs attention - knowing that he will not add anything just to inflate the number of jobs (this time he noticed that the washing machine was rocking a lot while in use). His crews work hard and are very courteous. Everything about the work and interactions with Chris and his men was very professional. So, it was another batch of handyman jobs done to our great satisfaction, and at a reasonable cost. Thanks again, Chris!
