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!

Jay was very good about staying in communication with me throughout the entire process. He and his helper, Benny, were so nice and professional. He did a terrific job fixing my windows and repairing the damage to my home caused by weeks of heavy rain!!! I will definitely have Jay back to my home to do more work. I live in an 80-year old house and I'm so excited to finally have a handyman in the neighborhood!!

The is the second time I have used Jay. The first was an emergency when I had a smoke detector beeping. I was so impressed with him that I called him again when I needed a few things done. He arrived right on time and reviewed with me the little list of things that needed repair. He began right away and quickly fixed EVERYTHING in an hour and a half. He made sure to show me that everything was working properly as he accomplished each task. He explained to me why the office doors had not been properly installed in the beginning. He even swept up the little bit of wood chippings he made while correcting the installation! I'd like to keep him my own little secret but having dealt with the unreliability and ineptitude of other handymen I do have to share him! Call Jay and you'll say HURRAY!!!
Description of Work: Replaced screen on second story window, re-hung a large picture, repaired the doors to home office which had been improperly installed and would not close, re-installed light bulbs in outside fixtures and made sure all were working properly.

Jay was great!!!! I was stood up by a previous person who was going to hang the TV's last minute and I was in a time crunch and he came to my rescue! Not only was he quick to respond, he was very thorough and kind. Felt very comfortable with him in my home as a single woman. He had to come back the next day to address a very minor issue and came right over. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him. His pricing is more than reasonable and fair.

gutter repair, handyman service

While the intial estimate was a bit lower, it was done from photos rather than a true on-site visual inspection. Rainy season came to Dallas and the job got pushed back for a couple of months. Finally had some weather breaks and the owner was able to send out one of his guys to start the work. We had some initial conversation about what I wanted and then he went right to work. I had purchased the paint in advance and had also purchased some fascia wood, just in case needed (as I expected it would be). Worker came by the house while I was working and proceeded to fill and fix the wood as needed, including some fascia replacement and more gutter repair than I anticipated. Each day he cleaned up well. The job took parts of 3 days and all went well. End result is better than what I was expecting and still very reasonably priced for the extent of work needed and completed. A neighbor commented to me that he was very impressed about how hard and focused the contractor was in working while I was't there. He says he wishes he had hired him for the work he had done. I will definitely be a repeat customer with Mr. Quickfix. It took a while for us to get together, mostly due to weather, but whenit came time to get the job done - it happened.
Description of Work: I needed some exterior wood trim painted. Wood was not in great shape and a couple of the boards had fallen. (Previously had foundation leveled and bricks repaired with other Angie List contractors.)

I cannot offer enough praise about the experience I had with Jay van Hulst and his fellow worker, Benny. As Mr. Quick Fix, they far exceeded my expectations on both projects they did for me. Both men are excellent craftsmen and take pride in doing good work. They are considerate about the disruption caused by extensive repair work and clean up after themselves. These are men you can trust and feel confident they will do an excellent job. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing the wide range of repairs every homeowner faces.

Jay was great! He came over the same day I called him which was unexpected and delightful. He evaluated the work, ran out for a quick purchase and got to work right away. His work was efficient and thorough and I've already started my next list of projects for him. It is a relief to have someone I can count on for my house projects.

I called Jay about 9 am in the morning and he was able to work me into his schedule within a few hours. While he was here I had him change other smoke alarm batteries that are hard for me to reach. He was knowledgeable and taught me how to check to see if a 9 volt battery is still good (you touch it to your tongue). His charges by the hour. I HIGHLY recommend Jay.

We have had Jay do jobs for us 4 different times and couldn't be more pleased. He has always been very punctual, extremely friendly and more knowledgeable than any handyman that we have ever had. He even gave me an electrical related tip over the phone that I was able to handle myself when he could have easily charged a service fee for. A breaker got tripped and a section of our lights went out and the breaker would not flip back. The next day I called another handyman service, talked to the owner and gave him the same information just to see what they would do in the same situation and he would have charged me a huge service call fee because he was going to have to send his electrician out. Needless to say, we will continue to use him for anything that might come up.
Description of Work: installed a lamp post in front yard and did all of the electrical work, installed several light fixtures in the house, fixed a bi-fold door that wouldn't stay on the track, hung a hundred pound mirror on a wall.

The closet door was a little too wide to fit the opening. He sliced off and sanded one edge of the door - no problem. The new door fits and latches perfectly. Two others had tried to adjust the louvered door so it would close properly. Both failed. Mr. Quick Fix adjusted the door very quickly, so it closes and latches as it should.

Jay is always easy to communicate with on the phone or by text. When he arrives he is ready to work and gets started right away. He is respectful of my house and cleans up his work. Jay is willing to be creative to help create solutions if a project isn't perfect. I've used Jay in the past and will use him again.
Description of Work: What doesn't he do!! Jay finished a new bathroom and wetbar. He caulked, installed cabinets, countertops, an under cabinet refrigerator, door - and more.

I was overseas when I called Jay based on his reviews to help install a TV that electricians I had called couldn't. The other vendor claimed that the TV was too heavy and that the metal studs could not support the weight. They gave me a number to someone else to do the work but they were on holiday. Lucky for me, I found Jay. He was very pleasant and made you feel quite confident in his abilities. More over, he said he would come out same day (Saturday). He arrived and immediately, my wife felt the same level of comfort, sincerity and confidence I did on the phone. Remotely, I was able to instruct him on the tasks. Jay coordinated everything with me and worked efficiently. Very clean and extremely reasonable for the work. As his bio states, he's good at figuring out ways to accomplish the goal when others cannot. He mounted the TV without having to tear into the walls as the other vendor claimed. Simply great and will use him again for all my home jobs I can't get to. He is certainly one of those businesses you want to tell your friends about. Just great and you immediately trust him.

Jay is the best handyman around, this is my second time using him. I contacted him about what I needed done and he got back with me promptly. He came by the next day to take a look at the project and was able to actually start right away. He is so quick and efficient. After he did the job I also asked him to take a look at my disposal because it was locked up and he took a look and quickly fixed it. Jay also helped me patch a few drill holes in the wall and showed my how to finish them up. He is honest, efficient, and helpful,he gets the job done. I read lots of reviews before purchasing a service and if anyone is needing a handyman I highly recommend this gentleman.

I needed help on lots of home fix-up tasks, many of which were a bit unusual and required creativity. Jay was the right man for the job. He was punctual, worked hard, communicated clearly, and saved me money on some items that he creatively fixed rather than replacing. I was very pleased with his services. It's also worth mentioning that Jay is very professional and pleasant to be around. You can ask him about Beethoven symphonies or the Wall Street Journal, and he'll have an intelligent response. Not your average handyman.
Description of Work: I had a two page typed list of handyman tasks, including light carpentry. Some of them required Jay to come up with creative solutions and custom cut wooden pieces. Jay spent two full days at my home and got everything done right.

Jay was a complete professional and gentleman. Showed up on time and took stock of what it is we were wanting him to do, then went to get the supplies that he needed and got right to work. My wife and I felt completely comfortable with him, he worked clean (which is very hard to find) and worked quickly and efficiently the entire day. The best part about Jay is that he is as friendly as they come, and as knowledgeable as anyone in the market. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality handyman, he's my new go-to guy.

Awesome!!!! Jay is not only knowledgeable about everything he does but is honest and trust worthy. I felt very comfortable having him in our home while we were at work. The work he did was excellent and more than what we hoped for. He made suggestions on what would work best. He ended up doing several more projects that we threw at him once he got here and not only did a great job but kept the cost low. We were trying to keep the cost down so he even suggested things we could do ourselves to help with cost. He also helped educate us on general things that new home owners should know and showed us how to do a few things ourselves. He is very flexible, responsive, reasonably priced. We will keep him on speed dial for future projects!
Description of Work: Jay built walls and installed doors four our closet, fixed two doors and broken locks/installed deadbolts. We had a last minute water emergency that happend while he was at our house. He immediately fixed it which prevented us from having to call an emergency plumber.

Our young boys broke our bed frame bouncing on our bed. The bed frame was made from wood from an old Indian gate and reassembled into a bed frame, so repairing it was a delicate proposition. I was not available the entire time leading up to Jay's visit. Jay dealt with my unavailability, came in with a game plan (and most of the materials), fixed the bed frame, buttressed it with a very strong fence post, cleaned up the mess, and made his exit all without waking the boys from their nap and all under two hours or so. (The price above includes some modest premium we paid Jay to come in and get the job done right away, because it was hard to get a good night's sleep with the bed frame the way that it was.) Jay was very pleasant to work with and was totally scrupulous and conscientious about both our expenses and our existing property.
