About us

REPAIRING THINGS is the main focus of my business. I have been repairing things since early on, when in my father's business we often had to find quick solutions to broken and non-functioning things, especially when no repair help was close by. That's where I learned the basics of the many practical skills that allow me today to "quick-fix" a multitude of things. The "quick" stands for the fact that I work fast, yet never inaccurately or sloppy. I often come up with solutions where others don't, and I take special pride in doing nice, clean jobs. I also ALWAYS clean up after my job is finished (which is not necessarily very common...). I'm a friendly and respectful person and get very well along with people. Obviously, I have lots of excellent references to prove it. Home owners frequently leave me with a key to their house, so I can do work in their absence. Typically, I come by and take a look at the job(s) you have and then discuss the details with you and will then give you a general price idea. But normally I work strictly BY THE HOUR, and ONLY if a job picture is clear and definite enough, I may give you a firm price. (Please understand that in the home repair business there can be all kinds of unforeseen issues that often make it difficult to determine an exact price). I usually work all by myself, but in certain situations I may bring one or two other persons which are compatible with me - and your environment - in every respect. To cover my trip time, I charge $30 extra for my first work hour within a 12 mile radius from my home base. If my commute exceeds 12 miles, the trip charge will increase on a pro-rated scale. Please TEXT ME, or give me a call under 214-734-6293 or email me at quickfixjay@yahoo.com to discuss your home repair needs. I'm looking forward to meeting with you!

Extremely well. He did an excellent job. He measured materials needed, went to the nearest Home Depot to purchase everything, did the work efficiently and totally cleaned up after done. He works by the hour and at first I thought he was expensive. I certainly changed my mind after the job was done. He was constantly in motion, but gave extreme care to the quality and skill of workmanship. He even put up with my fussy questions. I will be hiring him again !
Description of Work: Jay cleaned all my gutters and installed covers/leaf guards on them. He also installed two motion sensor security lights.

Jay responded quickly to a text message (on a Saturday, no less)! He provided instructions for stopping the water flow on the broken plumbing, then arranged to come out quickly to perform the repair. It was raining when he arrived and, as his narrative suggests, he was very diligent about keeping my floors nice and clean! He performed the repair quickly with good quality parts. He provided info on how to fix and adjust the toilet parts and save money on water (if desired). He checked out concerns on my shower and washing machine. After he was done, he ended up charging me less than the original estimate, too! A very professional, friendly and kind man who does great work. Highly recommended, and I will certainly use his services again!

I can honestly say this door has never worked as well as it does now. Jay figured out a solution and had it fixed in no time. My only criticism is the cost. this job took about half an hour. was not prepared for a $95.00 charge.

Response from Mr QuickFix
As a quick response to this dear customer: You may not be aware (and did not inquire ahead of time) that I have a minimum charge for coming out to a customer's location. This charge is presently $95. This fee does not only cover the first hour of the job itself that I perform on your behalf but also the cost of running a fully equipped, heavy vehicle to your location and the time required to get to you and to return. In the home repair business, it is never easy to predict how complicated a job will be and how much time it will take the get it done. In your situation, I spent 30 minutes on the job itself plus further 15 min looking at another job your husband wants me to do, and about 40 min for the combined commutes. My total time involvement was more than 1-1/2 hours. Compared to many other service providers this is a very reasonable charge. Furthermore, additional work hours run at a lower level. Just the first hour is at the higher level because it is the most costly one for me. Hope you understand.

I contacted Jay this morning and he agreed to meet my mother at home this afternoon. When he was delayed from arriving at our agreed time, he courteously phoned to let us know he would need to come later. We had expected that he would come by only to assess the problem and perhaps not agree to fix it... But he came in and got to work, quickly and skillfully fixing what no plumber had been able to fix. The relief of finally having this terrible problem fixed before my brother comes home from the hospital is absolutely huge. Mr. van Hulst's humanity is on a par with his handiness!! There are not enough stars to adequately express my gratitude and satisfaction over the job Jay van Hulst did for us - and for a very reasonable rate.
Description of Work: The shower hot water faucet fixture in my elderly mother's house was broken (as well as the pipe under the kitchen sink) and had been for years. Three plumbers had been out over those years. One tried to fix it and two told her that it could not be fixed - that the entire bathroom would have to be redone to solve the problem. My brother lives with my mother and is in the hospital with a serious heart condition, so getting that faucet fixed so he can have a hot shower after coming home was of critical importance. Mr. van Hulst's fantastic reviews on Angie's list told me that he might be able to fix this awful problem for my mother - and they were right - Jay fixed the shower problem and the kitchen sink problem (and a bathroom sink problem) quickly, efficiently, expertly and professionally.

Benny showed up when expected and got right to work. He was professional, very thorough, and did a much better job than I could have done. I wanted to do all the power-washing myself, but my wife talked me into hiring someone, and I am glad we did! Well worth the money, and he is definitely our new go-to handyman.

Jay does a great job. He is speedy and can perform tasks in easily half the time it would have taken my husband and I, if we were even able to do it. He is willing to tackle any job, large or small and he has ideas about how to approach needed work. He doesn't waste money on unnecessary supplies but only buys the exact items needed for the job if any are even needed. Jay usually has all of the tools necessary on his truck.
Description of Work: We have used Jay numerous times over the past two years for a wide variety of jobs around our 1958 house. The most recent work involved removing a section of the tile floor that was too high (and thereby preventing a dishwasher installation), reinforcing the wood under the tile, installing the dishwasher, and retiling the floor section. What we really appreciate about Jay is that he is not only great at figuring out how to solve problems like this one but is also great at all of the routine maintenance activities needed in an older home - fixing ceiling fans, installing light fixtures, mount flat screen TV, powerwashing, painting, caulking, hanging heavy mirrors, and even putting together things we purchased if we needed help (bike rack for car hitch).

Jay does an excellent job and we have been nothing but 100% satisfied with his work. He is honest and extremely professional and kind to our dog :) He also accepts Venmo--which is super easy and convenient when you are busy and don't always have time to hand-deliver payment! We have referred him to friends and they have all been just as happy with Jay's work and professionalism. We went through several handymen who turned out to be not so handy--or took forever to do something relatively routine. No more. So happy we found Jay!!!
Description of Work: Jay installed a new farmhouse sink, industrial faucet, cut our cabinets to work with the new sink, removed molding on our windows and cut the antique molding so that our new counters would sit flush, and repaired our gutters.. all in an extremely reasonable amount of time and price and the quality of his work is GREAT.

I had a rusty pipe/bathtub faucet break at my rental property rendering the only shower at the property completely unusable to my tenants. Jay was a live saver. Jay responded to my call and was at the property working in less than 24 hours. The repair required the existing tile to be removed and replaced, a portion of the plumbing had to be replaced, and the bath/shower fixture had to be completely replaced. My house was built in 1927, so the repairs were more extensive and took longer to finish than originally estimated, but the finished work was excellent. The total repair took three days. Jay was extremely professional and was able to work alone at the property. Each day he was extremely diligent about letting me know when he would be at the property, and cleaning and locking up at the end of each day. Since my house is older, not all of the modern plumbing parts fit properly with the existing plumbing. Jay was able to make a custom part for me so that everything worked properly, and he didn't even charge me extra for the extra effort. Jay does excellent work and I will definitely hire him again for additional repairs that are needed at my property.

Benny took on a number of chores (including accessing the crawl space under my home to install the ductwork for my dryer). I have half a dozen tasks to be completed for a place I have recently moved into that I didn't have time to take on myself. He took the time to explain the process for each project and the tools he would be using. He finished promptly and left his work area(s) clean. I would certainly use this business again.
