Commode works!
Description of Work: Plumbing work on an old commode. They installed a new flap and other parts, and came back a second time to secure another piece, and it was well worth it and not too expensive.

Jim showed up. Took all the measurements needed and was pleasant to deal with. He was to put a quote together and get back with me. I didn't hear back in over two weeks so I called and asked the person that answered the phone what the status of the quote was. She was going to check and get back with me. I called again and got the same response. I don't have time to take off work to met a contractor that doesn't even have the decency to call me back.

JimBob took care of contracting a new roof for us and followed up immediately after the installation to see if we were satisfied. His crew is fantastic in everything they do. We have used JimBob for years and he has someone to fit every need we have had, from plumbing to electrical, and any home repairs. We are retired and unable to do things like we used to, so need help often!

Description of Work: Gave us estimates on several jobs. Repaired fascia near roof peak. Very professional, very punctual and reasonable prices. We will use them for all the jobs they had given us an estimate on. It's hard to find reliable contractors around here and we were very happy we found Jimbob.

Not sure of the above date or cost, but we use JimBob for all our home repairs and his crew do an excellent job and as far as I know, his charges are fair. We are in the process of hiring him again in the very near future! You can't go wrong with JimBob.

They were very conscious. I never had any complaints for them. I do not have anything to say about them. They did the job they were supposed to do. They were just very good.

Our roof had last been replaced in 1991, our gutters were the older 4" wide variety that would overflow with heavy rains. Interior wood trim showed the wear and tear of raising four children and the external wood had weathered. Contractor personnel arrived on time ready/prepared to work, they were knowledgably, courteous, answered my questions, and provided helpful suggestions. Jim Cucciarre (Jim Bob owner) would periodically (at least daily) stop by to review progress, inspect work, answer questions, and provide schedule updates. A final project walk down inspection was completed with Mr. Cucciarre, he was more critical then I. Work was completed on schedule, cleanup was complete, and final cost was consistent with original estimate. Very pleased with the project's success. We have received several compliments on our home's updated appearance. I have used Jim Bob Contracting on several previous occasions and while they have not necessarily been the low estimator, I have found their work to be consistently of high quality and will not hesitate to use them in the future should the need arise.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced gutters with 6" extruded gutters and installed gutter leaf guards (Leafsout) (180 ft.) Removed and replaced shingles and underlayment with 30 yr. warrantied architectural shingles, 30lb. felt, roof boots, step flashing, caulk and seal, install ridge vents, clean up and removed all job debris (38 Sq.) Prepped, primed, and painted interior trim, ceilings, and exterior wood surfaces including door frames, stripped master bath wall paper and painted walls, removed and replaced two commodes.

He was prompt and fixed our plumbing and lighting in one day. He returned the following day to adjust our outdoor motion sensor. He fixed this to our satisfaction. Another problem occurred a day or so later when all the canister fixtures inside the hallway of our house went on the blink. He came again and after several hours fixed this too. A prior electrician several years ago had left the wires in a mess. We could have had a fire. We would highly recommend JimBob's Contracting Company.
Description of Work: Fixed our valve in the shower very quickly and wired in new lighting both indoors and outdoors.

Jim came out and visited with us, he was very personable and professional. He gave us several different options on how we could remodel the bathroom to fit our needs. The guys showed up on time everyday, they cleaned up at the end of each day, they were very professional and polite. The project was completed on time and in budget. Looks great! We love it! Will recommend this company to all of our friends.
Description of Work: Remodeled our bathroom after we discovered a water leak that rotted out the floor. We decided to update with all new tile, tub, vanity, and toilets.

From start to finish the guys worked on time, all day. They were very respectful and kept their work clean while on our property as well as our roof. They installed 40 panels (a 10 kilowatt system) in a week, on time and under budget. They also helped educate us through the whole process on how solar works, and the free lifetime monitoring that came with it so we can see in "real time" what our panels our putting out at all times. They handled all the paperwork involved, and now we are up and running producing enough power to never have to pay the utility company again! I highly recommend JBC Solar to anyone and everyone I talk to!
Description of Work: Tom and Sean came out to my house for a free estimate. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They help educate us and guided us through the whole process which made us feel very comfortable in making our decision to "Go Solar".

My rental house is home to a busy working mom and her family. She called me about the broken showerhead during a busy holiday weekend leading up to Christmas. I knew this would spell trouble, especially in the middle of a holiday season. I left a message on Sunday and Jimbob called me back early Mon morning. They scheduled the call directly with my tenant and all was well at a very good price. Better than trying to fix it myself in that next spare minute. (Tried fixing it myself 2 years ago and look where and when that caught up with me!),
Description of Work: Plumbing Service Call: Showerhead was clogged with calcium and rust; they removed and replaced it with a new showerhead.

The story is described above.
Description of Work: We contacted him and described what we wanted done. He came to the house to review the work to be done. While here, he was very personable. When considerable time had passed and we had not heard from him, we called him again. He told us he couldnt do the job because he was too busy. We wouldnt call him again because apparently his schedule does not permit additional work.

What was great is the contractor explained to me how the outlets are connected to one another. (So he didn't "make" work for himself.)Fixing one fixed the two problem outlets. He was done in 1/2 hour, so charged me for the visit plus supplies. Worth it!
Description of Work: Two kitchen electrical outlets stopped working, one being a normal outlet and the other with GF-something. (One that you depress to engage the electricity or disengage it.) Jim Bob contractor fixed the one with the switch and (of course) that meant the other one could work too.

Bruce, the employee of Jim Bob's Contracting, arrived promptly at 9:00 am when he said he would. He talked with myself and my husband and we told him the problem and he went straight to work trying to figure out what was wrong. After approximately 30 min he said he thought he knew what the problem was and had to go to town to get parts. He was gone for about 10 min and came back. He worked a little longer but just couldn't fix it. So he called his boss. He came by and he worked on it a little while, tired a couple of things and he finally fixed it. We were really pleased with the work. Everything was cleaned up when they left and they were both happy with the job also.

Jim Bob is a very professional and caring contractor. He did add on's for me without hesitation and at a reasonable cost. He helped with all the insurance estimate "translation" for me. He stayed in contact with me throughout the project to keep me informed. He returned every phone message I left for him in a very timely manner. I will positively use Jim Bob Contracting again in the future should the need arise and feel more than comfortable recommending him to others.
Description of Work: Jim Bob Contracting took care of tornado damage to my rental property. They replaced my roof (with a metal one - it was shingled), removed and replaced the master bedroom closet ceiling, replaced a broken window, and replaced some guttering. While there another contractor installed some flooring and did more damage than good. Jim Bob Contracting redid the master bathroom floor linoleum and repaired all the damage the flooring contractor did to the walls. They also replaced some ceiling fans for me.
