Chris Jackson's Contracting

In April, this provider re-built part of our wooden deck, to eliminate a water problem in the garage below the deck. He removed boards over the side of the garage where there was water damage to the ceiling, installed a new waterproof membrane, and replaced the deck boards. Some of the boards needed to be replaced, which he did. They were left unfinished until the weather got dryer. On June 3 two workers returned to tighten some screws and pound flush some nails holding down the boards, cleaned the deck (we had scrubbed it a few days earlier), and then stained the entire deck. He also re-installed some boards edging the deck, and painted them.

Everything went great. There have been a few storms with heavy rain and I haven't had one single leak. The bathroom looks amazing. The paint job was very neat. There wasn't any paint anywhere it shouldn't have been. I wanted to hug the gentleman when he told me that he tightened up the exhaust fan and caulked the tub!

It went fabulous. These guys are great. They did have to come back after the door levers were installed because they weren't latching correctly. Not something they did wrong, but I appreciate the responsiveness in correcting the issue of the door not lining up correctly. Anything and everything they have ever done for us has been great. I have dealt with contractors before and sometimes they are not as good as promised to be. However, I am very, very, very pleased with Chris and his crew. I had no issues with leaving this company in my home. They work very well together, we are very pleased with this company and the price we paid for the job.

They did a great job. They were on time and courteous. I would use them again.

Very smooth. The crew arrived first thing both mornings, and worked steadily. They were very professional. Thety cleaned up thoroughly when they were done.

They did an excellent job! (again)! I am writing this review for my Mom, since she doesn't have an account. I have hired Chris myself, as you can see in my reviews. She her house started developing very bad cracks in the walls, due to foundation shifting. I refered her to Chris. She called and he came out right away. He scheduled the work to be done, and they were there when they were supposed to be. They moved the furniture, patched and painted all of the cracks (one of which was a HUGE bubbly crack that I thought could never be flat again - it is perfect!) They returned all of the furniture and put the curtains back up for me (thank you!). She did call Chris because she wasn't satisfied with one of the patches (out of 6), and they came out the next day and fixed it. They left no mess, they were very clean, polite and buisness-like. She would (as would I - and I did!) highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you again, Chris. You guys are awesome! :)

Even though Mr.Jackson did not do any work for me,I felt I had to take a moment to write this review. After many calls and e- mails to various handymen and no returns messages, you all know what I'm talking about, Mr. Jackson called back but on the same day! I realize how busy people are, (I work 50 or more hours weeks sometimes) but just an e-mail to say sorry I'm swamped, or I don' t service that area, which is what Mr.Jackson told me meant a lot. He also took a moment to give me a name of someone who could do the work in my area! I cannot attest to the quality of his work, but I feel I can attest to the quality of his integrity. If I could of hired him, I would have in a heartbeat!

Chris and his crew did an amazing job for a very reasonable price. We are not in the least bit handy and have a tendency to let things go. The initial job was to fix the bathroom leak which was caused by the toilet not being set properly. This resulted in a drip into the laundry room that gradually turned into a down pour every time the toilet was flushed. When Chris came to the house to give an estimate I found him to be honest and liked him immediately. I started asking if he could fix the leak, the floor, and the rest of the bathroom. Then I moved on to the pantry door that no one could get to stay in place and had fallen off. After that, it was the storm door that Home Depot charged $25 to come out and measure, but then said they could not install it, but never explained the reason. Then it was half a dozen other little things that we needed done. Well, they were wonderful. All of the work was done in a reasonable time and it all looked great. I have had many compliments on the bathroom and storm door. The greatest part was not having water dripping on me from the ceiling in the laundry room. Having a working doorbell after ten or so years was pretty cool too. Such a little thing, but that was something they just did without my asking. These guys were also very good about cleaning everything when they were finished. We didn't have anything to do except enjoy the improvements. Needless to say, I would recommend Chris and his crew to do a wide range of repairs and improvements. We have a long list of things that still need done, and I hope they are available over the summer to come back for the next round.

Work was done in a timely way. Contractor behaved in a professional and courteous manner. He was very persuasive in convincing me to change the downspout design to his specifications, despite my suggestions of what I thought would be more effective. He mainly suggested that I need to cut down the tree in front of my house in order to not have leaves accumulate in the gutters (!!). After the initial installation in the fall of 2013, in the spring of 2014 it was clear that the gutters were overflowing again. I tried to clean out the downspout, but the way it had been installed, it was impossible to clear from the top or pull gunk out of the bottom, as the outflow was directed very close to the surface of the lower gutter. Chris came out promptly when called about the issue. He reiterated his belief that the main way to keep the gutter clear was to take down the tree. He did not wish to revert to my earlier suggestion of a fix (putting up a higher splash guard on the lower gutter, preferring to take apart the rivets in the elongated downspout to clean it out and putting it back together. He apologized for the lack of downspout efficiency, but maintained that it would never work as I wanted. By late summer 2014 I was dealing with the issue by putting a rain barrel to catch what was gushing over despite his cleaning and fix. It is now spring 2015 and I am having the same gutter problems. I finally had another contractor take off the extender I never really wanted and had a splash guard built where the water flowed into the gutter to stop it from splashing over. This was the fix I had initially wanted and pointed out other neighbors who had done this. Chris insisted on NOT doing this and I threw away a lot of time and money.

I am in the process of selling my house, and I had a list of items that needed to be repaired per my realtor's recommendation. I got in touch with Mr. Jackson through Angie's List. He replied right away and scheduled a time to come by to give me an estimate. He arrived promptly, both for the estimate and to do the work. He explained things clearly and was very professional. The work was exceptional. I now have a potential buyer, and her inspection report doesn't mention any of the items Chris repaired, so his work definitely met even a picky inspector's expectations.

After two weather delays, The contractor delivered the correct door and installed it. When problems were encountered, Mr. Jackson found an excellent way to fix them and the result was better than I expected.

The team was professional and competent, and always cheerful even when the work was difficult and tedious. They also were willing to adjust the work and the timing as needed to fit our requirements. We had a lot of nonstandard constraints but the team figured out how to keep the project moving well no matter what.

I look around and see basically if there is anything cheaper, but i really like him. He is really good. He was fast. He understood everything around the house that had to be done and he answered me all questions. He is just very professional. I actually recommended him to somebody too.

We are senior citizens and I believe God put Mr. Chris Jackson in our way to give us peace of mind when some home repair is needed. He is honest, knowledgeable and has great workers. The painters were excellent, thoughtful and always eager to please. Looking at my new painted kitchen I feel nothing but joy. In three words, A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE.

This job went excellent. I had a deadline and Mr. Jackson met it in record time with excellent work. Mr. Jackson came out to estimate the job, sent me his estimate right away. Scheduled the job as soon as I met the terms and the work was done. Mr. Jackson showed up on time with his assistant and the job was done in less than two hours. I knew at this holiday time of year it is hard to get service but we worked well together. We used email, text and overnight mail and got the job done. I can't express how happy I am and relieved and unstressed. And yes I will use Chris Jackson's Contracting again.

Very responsive, efficient and reliable. No delays in providing service as often happens with contractors

I contacted Chris for a quote to fix our ceiling after the upstairs plumbing leaked. Chris showed up, took some measurements then sat down with us to go over the costs. He was personable, and right on budget for us. My husband and I both said we wanted to go with him the second he walked out the door. Not only did his team fix the ceiling, but they also replaced another pipe that the home warranty company did not replace because it wasn't' "broken". It only made sense to replace the old copper plumbing while the ceiling was already ripped out. It was completed in a day, and the painters he sent the next day couldn't have been more kind and professional. They were in and out in less than 2 hours, leaving no mess behind. At first, Chris stated he wouldn't get to us until December, but he did end up getting us in right before Thanksgiving. Being an expectant parent, around the holiday's, this was much appreciated. It was one last thing for us to worry about when trying to prepare the home for a newborn. I will definitely use Chris and his team for future jobs. Thank you!

Chris contacted me quickly. He fit me into his schedule at a convenient time in the evening to review my project list and give me an estimate. He was at my home a week later to complete the work. He called with an update midday and completed the work to my satisfaction on time. He was professional and courteous. I'll definitely use Chris in the future for any household projects.

Did everything as requested. showed up on date we had agreed to problem solved unexpected electrical issue in bathroom painter worked hard at getting patch work to match the living room walls

If there is anybody out there better than Chris and his workers, prove it to me / would recommend and endorse Chris. if there is an 11 on a 1 to 10 scale - CHRIS JACKSON DESERVES IT.

Arrived on-time; however very arrogant and condescending toward myself and my husband. Gave an estimate twice as high as others and once we got over the shock stated that we were young and must not have been "burned yet". Continued to sell us on his "New England" background and if we wanted to wait until January, he would be $1,000.00 less. No Thanks.

Did a very professional job.

im a little confused about the time but it fixed now so....

Great work! Stained and varnished two inside doors and handrail. Painted outside door.

ALL WENT VERY WELL. MR. JACKSON AND THREE MEN WERE ABLE TO GET MY WHOLE LIST DONE IN ABOUT 5 HOURS. ALL WAS DONE TO PERFECTION AND CLEAN UP WAS INCLUDED. I LIKE TO WATCH THINGS AS THEY EVOLVE AND NO ONE COMPLAINED ABOUT MY GATHERING OF WARRANTY INFORMATION ON THE ITEMS THAT WERE INSTALLED. I KEEP A COMPLETE RECORD OF INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIRS FOR MY FILES. ALL THE GENTLEMEN ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS AND HELPED ME UNDERSTAND HOW THE NEW ITEMS WORKED. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE WORKMEN WHO WILL HELP YOU USE THE ITEMS THAT THEY INSTALLED AFTER THEY HAVE GONE. I AM HAPPY WITH THE WORK AND RECOMMEND THEM TO ANGIE'S LIST PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A HANDYMAN AND CONTRACTOR. I HAVE SINCE GIVEN CHRIS JACKSON CONTRACTING'S NAME AND NUMBER TO MY BROTHER WHO NEEDS SOME WORK DONE ON HIS HOUSE. WILL BE USING THIS CONTRACTOR AGAIN AND RECOMMEND HIM.
