I called Jim Dandy to the Rescue on a Monday and he answered the phone promptly. He came out on Wednesday to give us an estimate. He had told me from the beginning that he would be able to do the work in approximately 2 weeks. We agreed on his estimate and he did begin the work in 2 weeks. He came out when he said he would and arrived on time for both the estimate and on the 2 days that he was doing the work. He worked very hard. On the 2nd day of his doing the work, he had to work outside. It was EXTREMELY hot that day and he worked without complaining and did a fantastic job. We will definitely call him back as needed in the future. We are very satisfied with his work.
Description of Work: Weather stripped front and back doors. Replaced rotted wood on 2 door frames and door. Fixed gate on our fence. Hung towel rack. Fixed a problem with our toilet. Caulked and added shower seal to our shower door.

Clay was quick to get back to me when I attempted to contact him for a quote and was able to come out that same week to do look over everything I wanted done. He was out to look on a Friday and had an estimate for me by Sunday. I agreed to his estimate and he began work a couple weeks later. Total time to complete the work was probably about five working days but there was some rain interference here and there which makes it a little difficult to track exactly. The materials to complete the work were delivered by a Lowes truck the Friday prior to work starting. Clay was always prompt and courteous. He showed up when he said he would; he asked questions about specifics instead of making assumptions and let me know when he ran into any issues, which in my case was just rain cutting working days short. I am pleased with the quality of Clay's work. This man definitely wants to do the job right. I see no evidence of taking short cuts or hurrying work just to get something over with. He even took time to re-do one portion of his work which I thought was fine, but he was not satisfied represented the best he could do. At the end of the work the cost was only slightly higher than the estimate and only because of the difficulty of the eaves and soffit work. That looked like a nightmare and I wasn't touching it, so I'm glad he did. I thought that slight increase above the estimate was perfectly reasonable. It is an estimate, after all. Overall I can easily recommend Clay and his one-man business to others and will very likely use him again in the future should such needs arise. Clay offers good communication, prompt service, high quality work and very reasonable prices.
Description of Work: Replaced several pieces of rotted cedar wood siding with Hardiplank. Replaced a rotted out exterior storage area door frame and the door that went with it. Replaced some soffit and eave woodwork in a difficult area where two elevations of roof meet the side of the house. Replaced some rotting exterior door framing.
