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!

Mr. Jay Hulst did those in very practical ways which don't cost much of the materials and time. It was nice and informative to watch him working on those and he provided some useful tips on how things should be maintained and installed. I am very pleased with his service!

The job was a bit more of a challenge than originally thought. Originally the thought was that this was a 1 day project. Jay is very professional and detail oriented. The old closet had over a hundred nails, so the demo I believe took a lot longer than originally anticipated. He was also very clean which was a plus since this is going to be our baby's room, so dust was a worry but Jay really went to great lengths to keep the dust down and cleaned up afterward. Overall we are very happy with the results.
Description of Work: Jay renovated the guest bedroom closet. Demo'd the old closet and hung new bifold doors, put shelving system in and laid carpet over the old wood floors that were unfortunately damged.

I sent Mr. Quickfix pictures of what I needed done. Jay was up front with me about how long it would be before he could help with my needs and gave me an estimate of two weeks. He actually contacted me before the two weeks was up and arrived as promised-punctual and ready to work. I was impressed by his ability to move from one task to another, having all the right tools and then clean up as he went. He was cordial and professional.

This was not a huge project and not much of a moneymaker for Jay, but he did the work quickly and well. I particularly appreciate that he didn't try to upsell me.....he repaired items rather than urging replacement. I already have another project for Jay, who will be sending me an estimate. Very happy to find someone can who can handle projects of various sizes and complexity.

Contacted vendor through Angie's List originally and had a timely response in which he asked for pictures of the project be texted to him. I did so. His response was that he did not remember who I was and could I refresh his memory. I did so. On August 21, 2015 he responded that he had been getting a number of requests and he now remembers me - that he would get back to me shortly. I have not heard from him since.

Response from Mr QuickFix
Looking at a situation exclusively from one's own perspective can at times lead to misjudgments. The customer had called me, describing a work project that I said I needed more info on. So I asked him to send me some pictures of the respective areas. Two days later the pics arrived via text message, but there was no name associated with them, wherefore I wrote back and asked for his name. In this context, it helps to understand that I am getting a large amount of job requests, and the sending of info materials without a name can be confusing. Once the customer's identity became clear to me, I acknowledged his request but didn't mention anything about "getting back with him shortly". Apart from being VERY BUSY practically all the time, and having quite a few customers waiting for their turn to be helped, I fell ill for several days during the time after August 21, which kept me from being able to work at all. The customer could obviously not know that, but he also made no attempt to ask when I would be available. And he had not been promised anything at all until this time point. I feel it is rather discourteous by the customer to immediately write a bad review about me without having any knowledge or interest about what might be be happening on my side. I'm doing my very best to accommodate every customer as quickly as possible, but I'm only human and work mostly all by myself, so that waiting times are a totally common thing in my business, and most customers easily understand that. Normally I also inform a customer accordingly, but in this case it was an oversight on my part which I apologize for. I hope my described illness and heavy work schedule serve as an explanation.

Jay was great. I contacted him through text and was easy to communicate. He was very well-mannered and did all requested works in a timely manner for a reasonable price. He also cleaned up after himself. I would use him again for future projects!

Overall working with Jay was a great experience. In April, Jay came out to our home for a quote and provided advice about picking a new back door. Once we had ordered and received the door itself, I scheduled time for Jay to install it. The first time he came out, it rained, so he could not perform the work. Eventually (about a week later) the rain subsided and he came to our house. In the week before the work was complete, he stayed in near daily contact with me, trying to find a time to complete the work. Even though our job was not a big, multi-day job, he treated us as if we were one of his most important customers. In the end, it took him about six hours for him cut/prepare the door into the existing frame, install and paint the interior. He also completed a relatively quick job of replacing a couple of broken slate tiles on our front porch. When complete, the back door was sticking a bit and I had to sand down the threshold to fix the issue, so I've rated the quality a 'B'. If there was an 'A-' rating, I would give him that. Overall, he did an excellent job. We plan to use Jay's services for our future carpentry/handyman needs. We recommend him fully to anyone in the Lakewood/M-Streets area.

I made the initial inquiry via email and Jay responded right away. We set up a date and time for him to install our new ceiling fans and he texted me to confirm the time and texted me when he was on his way. We replaced three 10 year old ceiling fans with more high tech ones so the very fair cost reflects the extra time it took to wire and install them. A few weeks after the installation, I emailed Jay with a question about fan light. He responded promptly and walked me through the issue - I wasn't aware the lights were on dimmers. I am so glad that I learned about Jay through Angie's List. We will certainly be requesting his services again.

This was the third time I have used Jay's services for diverse projects around my home. He arrived on time and had the necessary supplies and tools on hand to tackle my three items. He quickly dispatched each of them without any problems. All work was completed in very satisfactory manner. I am sure I will be using Jay again.

Went better than expected. The job was completed in one day and the pricing was very favorable for the work done. Jay was outside of his normal area (Dallas) and came up to Allen (2nd house of mine) as I had previously used his services and was very pleased with those results and costs. I had to work and my son was not quite clear on what was to be done, but Jay went to work on his own, without any lunch, to get the job done. Very pleased with the work. I mentioned to Jay that I was impressed that he had done this in a single day - he replied: " I am Mr. Quickfix". I am lining up more work to be done the next time Jay has a chance to be up in Allen area. As well as on my home in Dallas.
Description of Work: Repaired wood trim on corners of house by roof and window trim that had rotted. Nicely replaced the rotten wood, re-caulked areas and painted. I had purchased some replacement wood and paint and had the materials ready for him to measure, cut and replace.

We had a custom door that was rotted on the bottom. Mr. QuickFix diagnosed what was causing the problem on the phone. He then set up an appointment for the following week. We found him to be extremely professional and highly skilled. He was able to repair our door to almost new condition. The repairs are absolutely not visible to the eye. We also had him remove a set of small cubby holes that had been custom-built into our closet shelves by the previous owner. We couldn't use the shelves that way. Now we have about ten linear feet of found storage space! So happy that we hired Mr. QuickFix. We'll be calling him back when we have another challenging home project.

Jay did a superb job. The finished product looks perfect. All I had to do was prime and paint the outside wood and finish the texturing of the sheet rock on inside and paint the finished wall inside. I live in far northwest Dallas County near the airport, so my home is outside the East Dallas area Jay typically serves. He has plenty of business and was backed up because of all the rain in May and June. I think he would have preferred not to come out so far when he already had all the business he could handle. Nevertheless, I persisted because I could see from his reviews on Angie's List that Jay was the right man for the job. We communicated by text and I sent Jay pictures of the damaged wood trim and siding. Jay graciously agreed to take the job, provided I could wait a few weeks for him to come out my way. I could wait. Jay charged me for time, materials, mileage, plus a surcharge for the extra distance. Jay might be a little more expensive because of the charge for extra distance, but the quality of the work is well worth it. He knew exactly what to do, and a less proficient handyman might have cost me a lot more. Jay was professional, personable and polite. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. QuickFix!
Description of Work: Repaired siding, trim and framing around large 6x6 picture window on back of house. The wood materials had extensive dry rot on two sides and in the siding beneath. Window abutted corner of brick wall creating a tight work space. Sheet rock and framing had to be demolished and replaced on the inside.

This is the second job I have had Jay do for me. Much like my first experience, Jay's work was through and fast. He had the tools he needed in his overloaded truck, evaluated what was needed, and did it quickly. I have always been impressed with his broad knowledge of how things work and what it takes to get them working again. In some ways he is a mechanical "whisperer" who just intuits how things work.

Jay does great work and is extremely professional. Always has been prompt and stays in communication with you in order to coordinate schedules and scheduling which I really appreciated. He did quality work on the various tasks that I requested of him and have had no problems with them so far. In particular, I asked Jay to do custom benches for my breakfast nook area and he worked with me to get the look and feel that I wanted. He was very attentive to detail and the results were what I wanted. From a cost perspective, Jay is not the cheapest provider, but I believe you get what you pay for.

Jay is wonderfully conscientious! Can't rave enough about his McGuyver-like skills! My backyard trellis needed to be re-built but I was missing a critical part to hold it all together...he fashioned one out of wood! Looks great and is solid. I had one kitchen cabinet door that had fallen off, he saw others that needed tightening and did those as well. He offered a suggestion about a very heavy light fixture that required him to re-install hardware, "if you have compact fluorescents I will put them into the fixture and then you won't have to re-install hardware as often!" Five star review! I now have him on speed dial!?
