Response from JIM DANDY to the rescue, LLC
I'm not a "they" and I'm really good at responding. Sometimes my follow up questions go unanswered and so I assume the person is not very interested. I will leave the ball in their court so to speak, but I respond well. Try me.

I was very pleased with everything he did. As it says on his business card, "Dependable, honest, & no bull." His attitude, demeanor, and professionalism were much appreciated, as was his advice when I asked him for it. His assurance that he would treat these projects as if he was working on his own home gave me the confidence that he would do his very best, and I believe he did. I also feel that he charged a very fair price for his work, which included some needed materials, a trip to Lowes, labor, plus hauling off and disposing of our old roll up patio blinds.
Description of Work: Install roll up patio blinds, install new faucet fixture in bathroom sink, re-attach smoke detector, re-glue wallpaper in spots where it had come loose from walls, unclog bathroom sink drain.

Everything went just fine. Clay arrived right on time, took a few minutes to evaluate the situation, then proceeded to take care of the front door adjustment. He then installed our new storm door. He was pleasant to talk with and tolerated our dog & cats! We are very pleased with the job.

Everything went great from request through completion. Clay was very responsive, punctual, professional, and honest. The job ended up being more straightforward than he initially thought so he charged less than quoted. We are very happy with his work and will definitely use him again as the need arises.

Clay Stewart's quality of work is he is a perfectionist. All work is performed by Clay. Everything he does is of the highest quality. He went far above and beyond what I expected. I had absolutely no complaints or suggestions for improvement. Not even any nit-picking complaints. Price was dead-on with estimate. Clay did not request any payment, not even for large expenditures for materials, until the job was complete and met my approval. Clay does great work and is a really a nice, trustworthy guy who is a pleasure to be around. I was very comfortable leaving him alone in my home.
Description of Work: Replaced six interior doors. Repaired closet door jamb. Secured and repaired front porch railing. Rebuilt rear porch railing. Installed new interior handrail and brackets from first to second floor. Replaced trim work above two exterior windows (difficult to duplicate). Replaced front entry door with pre-hung steel door. Installed front storm door. Installed hardware on eight doors.

The job (but not the price!) unfortunately became larger than first expected. After removing the old sink it became clear that the new sink would not quite fit by modest fraction of an inch. There were tiles around the old sink and the support piece of wood under the tiles in the rear had rotted. While he continued to remove the old tiles and rotten wood, I offered to run to home depot and quickly got the replacement piece of wood he requested and picked up some backsplash style decorative tiles that would let him quickly piece together a 1.5 inch back border to replace the old tiles that were too large for the new sink. The project came out wonderfully. I was so appreciative of the extra work and effort, I also gave him a small cash tip after he only asked for a payment within the original price range. He dutifully noted the cash tip on his receipt, presumably meaning he is paying taxes on that as well. I only mention that since it speaks to his integrity which is a lost trait these days. I have already mentioned him offhand to two people and plan to post to my Facebook page about him as well.
Description of Work: My inlaws needed to have their kitchen sink and garbage disposal replaced. So the task fell to me to find someone to do the job.

Clay was great! He was easy to communicate with via text and able to send me estimates from the pictures of the projects I sent to him. He was quick to return detailed quotes and was always on time for his work. He did such a great job with the initial items we needed done that we had him back a couple of weeks later for a whole new list of items. I felt completely comfortable having him in our home and didn't feel the need to supervise his work. He wouldn't let us pay until his was completely finished with each list. We will definitely use him for all of our handyman needs! We are glad we have someone we can rely on.
Description of Work: We had a long list - hang new ceiling fan, replace light fixture, install exterior and interior door knobs, replace faucet, repair outdoor gate, repair screened porch door, armour-all shutters, replace lattice gate, repair crawl space door, replace floodlights, install new flood lights, a little mortar in brick stairs, screw in meter box and crawl space vent...

It was a successful morning. All three projects were handled in good order and put back together even sturdier than they were before. I have kept his business card to have for future use.
Description of Work: He put a storm door on for us after a board the door had previously been attached to had come off the wall. Three pull out drawers had fallen out of the pantry and JIM DANDY to the Rescue repaired those. Replaced the toilet paper dispenser since the previous one was old and loose.

Wonderful job. Clay Stewart of Jim Dandy to the rescue was prompt, professional, and thorough. He is an excellent craftsmen who was perfectly able to replace a section of wooden fencing so it looked identical to the remaining sections of fence. Overall we were very pleased with his work and would absolutely hire him again.
