He did a fine job. He goes with the flow. It was labor intensive so it was a bit more expensive, overall it was good work.

I was amazed; he showed up on time, worked on the windows from the outside, also did some grouting on the fireplace in my living room, and I had only asked him to grout the cracks on the floor and he took the whole thing on, and did an excellent job on all of it. Very pleasant, and would call when he was on his way and how long it would take to get here. All in all a very good experience.
Description of Work: He hung a floating shelf for me, opened some windows that had been painted shut.

Chris is easy to get in touch with. He almost always answers the phone--no telephone tag. If you leave a message, he returns the calls promptly. The work was done as promised and looked professional. He also cleaned the shower which looked very shiny, despite the poor condition it had been in. When we called him to confirm, he did forget he had made the appointment to do the work, but he attributed this to his changing organizers and was apologetic. But he showed up as originally planned and did the work. We had discussed the job quite a while before he did the work, because we did not make our decision until after he had gone on vacation. But he was upfront about not being available during that time. However, because of the time in between, he had forgotten which door we wanted fixed, so fixed the wrong door, but agreed to come back and fix the correct one. He was personable and professional. I thought the price was a little on the high side, but he did a good job.
Description of Work: Re-grouted and re-caulked bathtub and shower stall. Cleaned shower stall. Fixed door catch so it closed.

Chris and his people were great to work with. We always know when they were going to be here and Chris stayed in close contact during the job. His staff was quite professional and they always left a clean site at the end of the workday. Chris responded to a couple of emergencies that came up during the time span of the job. He went out of his way to make time for us. He also did several little extras to make our home nicer at no charge. Chris has earned our trust. We will have him back. Our 77-year-old house is always needing something done and Chris will be who we call first for most things.
Description of Work: Chris did a loot of work for use including: re-glaze and paint around windows, install a French drain to connect with hose drain, paint garage doors and several exterior areas, installed new steel basement door, install a new hydrant, other plumbing repairs, trouble shoot and repair electrical circuits, pressure wash deck, and more.

Chris responded promptly to our request for an estimate, which turned out to be quite accurate. They arrived on time on the work day, then showed me the extent of the problem once the wall was opened. At the end of the job, the area was completely cleaned. You can't tell that there was ever a problem. We are very happy with the work.
Description of Work: Had a leakage problem in an outside wall. Rotted boards and studs (under siding) and a roof segment were removed and replaced with new wood. A drip edge was installed. The gutter was re-installed.

Chris and his assistant were on time, worked very hard, and were polite to me and my dog. Chris seemed very knowledgeable about older houses and understood my budget constraints. I appreciated Chris' efforts to finish the job in two days (he stayed overtime), his attention to detail, and wanting to make sure I was satisfied with his work. He was nice enough to fix my vacuum cleaner for free. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I plan on having Chris update my kitchen.
Description of Work: Chris and his assistant did a minor renovation on my bathroom. They sanded the plastic tiles that covered my entire bathroom, and then primed and painted the whole room. They repaired the shower wall and installed a new tub surround, repaired and replaced the existing flooring with new sheet vinyl, installed a new sink faucet and towel bar, cleaned the shower faucet and controls, replaced 2 faucet supply lines, installed new cove moldings, and moved a light switch. I supplied about $130 worth of materials (sink faucet, towel bar, flooring) and Chris supplied everything else.

Chris was easy to work with. He was on time for both the estimate appointment and the day the work was performed. Found him to be a straight-talker who completed the work satisfactorily, on time. Cleaned up before leaving. We have already recommended him to friends.
Description of Work: Added one outlet in the kitchen, changed another kitchen outlet to GFCI. Added a computer outlet in the bedroom. Changed another bedroom outlet from surface mount to flush mount.

Chris Jackson provides very good service. He was quick to respond to my original phone call. Set a date and time to come to the house and provide an estimate. He was clear about the work he was going to do and what it would cost. He and his crew showed up when he said they would and stayed on the job to complete the work within the time frame he had specified. He and his crew were easy to talk to, provided explanations when I had questions, and checked to be sure that I was satisfied with the work they were doing.
Description of Work: Repaired and painted porch deck, nailed down loose porch balusters, repaired and primed two (wood) window frames, replaced and primed small segment of mudroom exterior wall, installed two ceiling fans, and shored up segment of bedroom floorboards near ductwork.

On the whole, I am very pleased with my experience with Chris Jackson. He and Danny, his helper, were both very polite and thoughtful. They called ahead, installed the disposal, cleaned up after themselves, and looked at a few other jobs I had and offered quotes. I have no way to judge his pricing, so I have refrained from doing so, but did not feel like I paid more than I was willing to.
Description of Work: Chris installed a garbage disposal. He ran an electrical outlet from an existing outlet and installed a button to operate the disposal that sat on my sink.

Chris and Danny went WELL above the call of duty! The pop up replacement and tub leak were more difficult than anticipated with much more labor also and they rose to the occasion. Chris also had to replace a part for the tub and traveled to get it and made the pop in the sink conform to our particular sink. They also performed EXTRA items not asked. Such as, cleaning the sink trap/drain and the aerator, and providing us tips for our screen door and porch! We received MUCH more than the price given and we APRECIATE them BOTH!

Chris was great! He was planning to be in our area the day after he came to offer estimates and offered to fix the basement step virtually immediately, as it was very unsafe. We were thrilled that he was able to fix it fast. His bids on each project came in lower or the same as 2-3 other handymen we consulted.
Description of Work: Chris provided estimates on various small but messy projects, including removal of 100 12'' ceramic tiles, mortar, a cement board, removal of three dividing walls in the basement and attic, and repair of a basement step. We decided to complete some of the projects ourselves but hired him to repair the basement step. He also offered to inspect and repair our leaking Pittsburgh Potty.

Chris was very professional from start to finish. He called a day ahead to confirm, called the day of, was on time, respected our home (cleanliness), and was overall a nice guy (his two partners were also)! Initially, his price was a little higher than we expected, but for the quality and promptness of the job, IT WAS WELL WORTH IT! He gave us a range and stayed within that. We are very happy with the turn out of the job!

Job 1: Chris called the day before to confirm. He arrived on time & began work. They were tidy, polite, careful of my furnishings, & flexible when the unexpected occurred. Chris noticed a leak in a shower diverter that I hadn't asked him to repair because I d been told by 2 plumbers that the fixture was too old to find parts for. Chris made one call & located the parts. On his lunch break, he drove to the supplier to pick them up. By the time he left my house, a year-old leak was gone. The many jobs that he did were completed efficiently & properly. My ''A'' rating for his pricing below doesn t mean he s inexpensive; it means that it s fair for the quality of work. Job 2: He & his men took on a variety of tasks, each with their special requirements, & did not disappoint. This man is a thinker. Hire him. He shows up, he adapts, he is careful about your posies & your lawn, he is a pro & if you want, he'll teach you stuff.
Description of Work: Job 1: A built-in bookshelf was pulled back into alignment and secured. A toilet was refurbished. A leak in a shower fixture was repaired. A clogged sink drain was opened. A stair railing was secured to the floor. Grouting in a foyer was applied to ceramic tile. An exterior door threshold was installed and cosmetically upgraded. A water softener was removed from the basement and its water lines capped. Two interior doors were repaired to close properly. Two exterior second-floor awnings were removed ($629). Job 2: Exterior painting, replacement and repair of exterior molding, installation of three exterior electrical outlets -- including running an underground wire -- installation of interior electrical outlets, installation of interior electrical dimmer switches, installation of interior exhaust fan switch, repair of interior electrical outlet, tune-up and clean-up of a lawn mower($2610).

Chris was great. I can't say enough about how easy and non-stressful the experience was. He was very responsive and flexible during the first phone call, and then I called to arrange a specific time on the day of. He originally came out just for the flooring, which took hardly any time at all but was more than happy to install the shelves since he was already there. I will definitely call him first if/when I have more household jobs to complete.
Description of Work: One of the boards in the hardwood floor had given way, but Chris was able to repair it and tore up other weak spots in the floor. He also installed bathroom shelves that required drilling into the exterior brick.

Chris and Tony are amazing. The walls in my older home now look brand new. They were perfectly smooth with all cracks and bumps repaired. The brushwork is excellent, and they do a great cleanup mob. There were no drips or damage. Chris and his crew are careful, professional, friendly, and nice to do business with.
Description of Work: They painted three bedrooms, a hallway, and stairs. In each room, they did trim and painted ceilings a different color.
