OVERALL, the work was good with shady ethics. GET A CONTRACT! The pros were work done well. Chris was on time for the estimate and job. He returned calls quickly. He also promptly sent Danny back when I called about the deck. Tony and Danny are hard workers and do nice work. Chris double checked work on his own and did a final walk-through with me. The cons were that Chris is a ''wheeler-dealer''. For the estimate, he went very quickly through the list he made during our walk-through and gave verbal prices. He stated ''I don't do contracts'' and had me sign his list. He did not give me a copy. While working, I overheard him say ''I have to go drop off a contract''. WHICH IS IT???? Without one I thought things were on his list that weren't. ALSO, a section of my perennial flower garden was decimated. Pointing it out, Chris said only ''guilty as charged''. He did not offer to replace it and had the nerve to charge me an extra $100 for washing and staining a very small side deck.
Description of Work: Chris gave me a list of the work performed, which was porch ceiling repair, fixing of wires, joining of crown molding, painting of ceiling and parts of trim, new latch and closure with safety spring (door), fixing of walls in first floor bath ad paint spot, goose neck for shower and attached shower heads, fixing falling boards, terminating plaster on brick second floor with corner bead, adding outlet to previous wire, matching color on bath casing repair, repairing ran/outlet in the office, fixing an outlet on the wall, replacing a roof on porch/kitchen, and power washing decks and painting them. What I THOUGHT was included was repair inside of the porch/kitchen where it was leaking (I wanted it fixed, he said I needed new roof but didn't include fixing the leaky spot). I also thought terminating plaster on other brick was included (I wanted it done). I pointed these out to Tony on the last day, and he completed them (Chris was sure to point out they were not included but a ''bonus'').

Response from Chris Jackson's Contracting
MICHELLE WAS KIND AND FAIR ON HER ASSESSMENT. I ONLY WISH THAT PEOPLE WOULD BRING UP THE NEGATIVE ISSUES DURING THE FINAL WALK THROUGH. AT THAT POINT WE COULD WORK THEM OUT. MEMBER ONLY RESPONDED WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DECK WHICH WE QUICKLY RESOLVED, ANY OTHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE SAME PROFESSIONALISIM. AS FOR THE FLOWERS, THEY POSED A DIFFICULTY NAVIGATING LADDERS THROUGH. BEING PERRENNIALS, THEY WILL GROW BACK. I GLADLY WRITE CONTRACTS BUT USUALLY NOT ON SMALLER JOBS. THATS ALL FROM THE "WHEELER DEALER".

Chris did an excellent job with everything. He called the day before to confirm. He was prompt and organized. He pays particular attention to detail. He has a great sense of humor and was very easy to work with. I've already gotten on his calendar for an additional round of projects.
Description of Work: We had several things we needed done around the house - installing a fan on the porch, finishing the kitchen cabinets, patching a hole in the hallway, and so, so much more. It was a real laundry list of items!

Overall, great experience! Chris showed up on time for the estimate. He's a very personable guy. He inquired about a lot of other, bothersome home maintenance issues, e.g., gutters, leaking faucets, to make sure he could take care of any problems I was having. It wasn't a sell job. He's very aware of his Angie's List reputation and following. Chris called the day before the job was scheduled to tell me when he'd be at my house. He showed up on time and the work was completed to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: Small area patching & painting, hanging wooden blinds (2 sets), fixing an under cabinet puck light, hanging a new mailbox, adjusting and tightening front door hinges.

Chris came out for the estimate, and his was lower than the other we received. He seemed knowledgeable, and he scheduled me for a couple of weeks later. He called me out to look at the French drain to show me the problem. He rerouted the gutter and capped off the drain. The problems were corrected. I think that he investigated the leaf guard and advised us to watch where the water was going. It was nice and helpful that he took a look around in order to give us preventative advice.
Description of Work: I needed a gutter rerouted away from our French drain following our home inspector's report, and some lights in the driveway replaced. We were real happy, and would definitely use him again.

They're very efficient. They do lots of general repairs besides plumbing. They seem to be pretty versatile.
Description of Work: They fixed a commode in a rental property. They fixed a dishwasher and a downspout on the same trip. This winter, I had a broken pipe in the basement, and he came out at 10:30 pm to fix it, within a half an hour of my call.

My overall experience was excellent. Chris is a character (which I enjoyed), so it was fun working with him, but the most important thing is that he stayed on top of the job and saw that it was done carefully and well.

He's a very nice person. He told me he would pick up my A/C at the store when it arrived, and he picked up the slab for my garbage/ recycling bin. He gave me a satisfactory estimate. He was on time, and he called before coming. Cost includes some materials as well as labor.
Description of Work: He hung pictures for me and put a holder on the porch for my hose. He put up a bar on the porch wall to hang rakes and shovels. He also put up a stone slab for my garbage can and recycling bin, and he will be back in May to put in an air conditioner. It was so cold the day he came that we decided to wait until May to do more.

Chris continues to be a great handy man. He has tackled so many projects for us and he is polite, thorough, professional, courteous, and honest.
Description of Work: Chris has done so much work for us. We moved into a house where the previous owners had paneled over glass block windows in the living room. Chris removed the paneling and cleaned the glass block windows. They are great and allow so much light into the living room now. He also has fixed our shower to stop water leaks, fixed some vents in attic, and repaired some light fixtures.

Chris did this work himself. He showed up on time in the morning, assessed the job, ran to Home Depot to get his materials, and had the job completed in an hour. He was very thorough and double checked all the different aspects of the system - even offered to clean the lint out of the dryer itself since that is a fire hazard. I was very impressed.
Description of Work: We needed to have a new vent hose installed on our dryer to replace a cracked hose.

We've used Chris Jackson in the past. He came on the date and time he said he would with a helper. He performed the work as requested. My wife was home while he did the work and she called me several times at work and put me on the phone with Chris to clarify that what he was doing was as directed. I thought the price was a bit high for the time and materials actually spent on the job, but maybe I'm just not accustomed to plumbing charges.
Description of Work: Replaced two valves in the basement, two shower valve stems and two bathtub valves stems. Stopped all the leaking coming from those fixtures.

Chris was very professional in demeanor and offered a useful approach to improving kitchen heating problem. He quoted a fair price for work entailed and finished job on time. Additionally, the work site was entirely cleaned upon completion with all debris put in the trash. Lastly, he capped a pre-existing sewer vent that was located under the kitchen floor which I did not even know existed. He did this free of charge. I look forward to using him again for some roofing work.

This was the 2nd job Chris did for us and I was very happy with the work. He notifies you as to when he will be arriving, how long the job will take and what materials he needs. They cleaned up and removed the old materials. I was especially happy when he leveled the washing machine since I didn't ask him to do this. I would definitely hire Chris again.
Description of Work: Removed old stationary tub, hoses and pipes. Installed new tub, faucets and set up washing machine so hose did not drain into stationary tub and leveled the washing machine so it didn't ''walk''.
