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 honest, friendly and paid careful attention to detail. My fence looks great and my windows look amazing. I highly recommend Jay and plan on calling him anytime I need something. Make sure you call him ahead of time. He is so good that he books up fast!
Description of Work: He fixed rotten wood around my windows, caulked and painted several minor gaps and painted with fresh paint (inside and out). The cost of the windows was $875. Mr. Quick Fix also built and repaired a section of my fence that was damaged from a tree falling through it. It looks great! The fence was $450

The home was built in 1952, it took a little skill for Jay to get everything to lay level and flat. He was very professional and personable. He did great work and performed it in a timely manner. I was very happy with his work. I would definitely call on him again.

Our home was broken into and I contacted Jay that evening. He was at our home at 9 AM the next morning to repair our busted door frame. He is professional, prompt, polite, and did outstanding work. He even replaced the broken switch for our front porch light at no additional cost. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman and have already requested services to repair my damaged siding and eaves. He will only do what he he knows he is 100% capable of and gave us the name of another person to fix a leak in our carport roof.

This was my first experience with Jay. He was punctual, ready to begin the job, and professional in all respects. I couldn't have been happier with his performance.

The island had to be taken apart and a new piece of plywood installed. The job was made more difficult because of a heavy granite top on the island and particle board shelves in the island. Jay measured, cut and installed a new plywood platform for the island and put it back together again. He did a great job. I plan to use Jay again to install new wrap around columns for my patio. I do not hesitate to recommend Jay for all of your projects.
Description of Work: This is the second job Jay has done for me. The first was to install a new spring on an attic drop down door and adjust the cable guides. This second job was to repair an island in my kitchen where the bottom support had collapsed.

Jay installed a new spring on our attic drop door and adjusted the cable guides so that in opened and closed smoothly. He also placed sheet metal on the ceiling of a water heater closet to cover some sheet rock that was water stained and in need of repair. He also disassembled the island in our kitchen and replaced the broken wood platform that supported shelving and a granite top. Each of our projects was different. Jay quickly assessed the right course of action to fix each of the problems. He had the right tools and knowledge to successfully complete each project in a timely manner. We have scheduled him to take on another project in early January to replace two metal columns on our patio that have rusted. This will entail removal of metal cornices/bases and replacement with new columns. We highly recommend Jay to you for all of your projects.

We were helping out a friend with some fence repairs and contacted Jay based on the positive reviews. Even though the repairs needed were more extensive than we originally thought, he explained exactly what should be done and why that was the best option. She was very pleased with the result. Jay is a true professional and great to work with.

We had a very specific selective demolition job for renovating a closet. There was a light switch, two fixtures, and an existing panel that needed to be disconnected and removed. The light switch and fixtures were easy to remove and disconnect ($85). However, as in all existing conditions, there is a surprise. The panel was still active with live wires coming from crawl space, so in the end it could not be removed without a huge rewiring. Jay cleaned up the feeds, removed excess wiring, and made a few more slots to move the wiring over to help gain more space for the new closet. ($100). This was over two visits.

Jay was great. He came out and reviewed all the proposed projects and suggested ways to reach my goals with less cost. At the time - his schedule was booked. He called me back a couple weeks later and completed everything in about 7 hours. He is very bright, experienced and honest. Old school values and a gentlemen. I have additional projects I am planning and Jay will being doing these as well. Price detailed below of $645 includes $210.00 for a new Moen faucet.

I asked him in an email if he could fix it and he said he could. He told me up front that he could fix it with a piece of metal which would show but the door would be secure. He was very polite and honest with his opinions and advice. I had also wanted a door hung on the front and he told me why it wouldn't be a good idea but left the decision up to me. I opted to not replace it. He also told me that the dead bolt lock was broken on the back door and gave me the option to replace it or have him do it. I decided to do that myself and he told me where to get the lock. Once I paing the door it should look fine. I'm happy to have a secure functional back door again without spending a fortune.
Description of Work: He fixed a broken French Door. Our back door has been kicked in twice and was broken. Since it was an oversized door it would have cost a fortune to replace.

Jay was able to complete the carpentry repair on short notice and did an excellent job. He even asked for our touch up paint so that the homeowner did not have to lift a finger. We will definitely call Jay for any future repairs.

Response from Mr QuickFix
The customer is right. I simply forgot to deal with this. The jobs I did extended over several days, and after I had finished the first portion on the walled-in flat roof where the debris had accumulated, I did not notice it from below when I left the site the following week. I normally always clean up, but in this case I completely overlooked it. I'm sorry about it and have offered the customer to come back and do the cleanup.

Jay has become my go to Handyman! He knows what he is doing, has all the right tools and cleans up all messes. As a bonus he fixed my front door so it didn't stick and realigned my deadbolt plate. I highly recommend. I am already starting my next list.

Mr. Quick Fix was great to work with -- prompt and courteous. We needed our extremely heavy front entry door removed, adjusted, and replaced to prevent it from dragging. It really seems like the door fits better today than when it was new. Also, the threshold piece that he had on his truck what aluminum which my wife didn't like. No problem, he made a quick run to Home Depot and got a white one. It wasn't a complicated repair but it was evident that he cared about the quality of his craftsmanship. I look forward to using him again when there's a "honey do" I don't want to do.

It was all great! Jay contacted me promptly, set up an appointment, and arrived as scheduled. He looked over all of the projects, then offered to purchase the wood needed for the fence and platform step. The materials cost was added to the bill at his (discounted) cost--- no 'add-on' charges! Jay worked quickly and carefully. He is professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. A great experience. The switches and fan work perfectly, the fence is again sturdy, and the new front step is perfect.

Jay got the job done. I had tried to figure out why my sliding doors were stuck in their tracks. Couldn't do it. Contacted the builder. Not responsive. Then I called Jay. He seems like he's super busy--probably from all this good press on Angie's List--but he was able to get out and help me out about 10 days after I called him. I wasn't home, but my wife was. She said he was very nice. He took a look at the problem, figured it out, and fixed it. No fuss, no muss. I was happy to have an annoying problem fixed, and I would gladly call him again.
