Mr QuickFix

Due to the complexity of this project, i had procrastinated for over a year knowing it would not be easy or cheap. I found Jay on Angie's List and asked him to come by and look at the project and give me an estimate. He did that but also gave me advice on finding old tile to match the existing. Once I had everything ready, we scheduled the job and he had the project completed in the amount of time he quoted and I'm very happy with the results. Jay is conscientious and cleans up his mess. He even came back by at no charge to make adjustments. His follow-up is outstanding as well. I will certainly hire him for future projects.

On Sunday my 1934 pluming to my shower started leaking again.... Who did I call?! JAY! He was extremely accommodating and told me he would be by ASAP. I am always impressed by how professional and dependable jay is. I always call him for when my house needs fixing. He is an exceptionally handy guy- pluming to painting to electrician, I always can count on jay to help. Thanks Jay!

I called Jay on Friday 9/12/2014 and he returned my call within a couple of hours. Luckily, he was in the vicinity and was able to come out to my house to take a look at what we needed to have done. Jay did a phenomenal job and I will definitely call him again.

Jay is by far one of the most responsive and quality home repair people I have ever known (coming from a family of contractors). His work is of the utmost quality, but his attitude, responsiveness and assessment have kept me in touch with him over 7 years. I'd like Jay to move into my house, but not sure that's appropriate LOL. I am so fortunate to have both integrity in him and his work.

I had a large gap on the right side of my front door and it was dragging on the floor when opened. I contacted Jay and he had me send him pictures of the door so he could determine what needed to be done. He informed me of the cost and how long he estimated the work would take. We scheduled a time. He arrived right on time. He fixed the door explaining what needed to be done. He was very pleasant and did a good job and didn't leave a mess. I would call him again.

Jay was amazing! He helped make my bookshelf vision become a reality. He and his helper were extremely polite and professional; they were also very punctual! They worked from the minute they arrived at my house to the minute they left. They were also very trust worthy, I left them with the key to my house for 2 days and I didn't worry about a thing. Jay built a custom bookshelf, custom closet shelving, and a work desk from my drawing design and some recycled material. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I will definitely call Jay for any repair or custom building I may need in the future. Thanks again Mr.QuickFix!

Mr. QuickFix was fantastic. He came and did everything in a timely manner with clean work. His prices are very reasonable and his personality was very friendly and nice to work with. I've already referred him to a friend and will definitely call him when more work arises.

I've used Jay for several projects in the past and have always been pleased with the cost (by the hour) and quality of his work. I now live 6 hours away but still use Jay to do repairs and upkeep on my remtal property near Lakeway. I recently hired Jay to help with some items after a move-out ( repairing some bath tub knobs, recaulking a shower etc.). Jay was able to work in my requests when I was in town for a weekend which I really appreciated. After my new tenant moved in, there were a few more requests and I asked Jay to address these as well. Jay is very honest about pricing and work performed. He is truly my eyes and ears for this property and I trust him to describe a problem accurately (again, I'm not in town to see for myself) and to fix the problem. Jay has been able to come up with some very ingenious ways to fix problem doors on our 100 year old property that has allowed us to keep the authentic look of the property for just a little bit longer. Jay is a neighborhood gem.

This was actually two projects. He installed some behemoth in-wall speakers for me which required modification of a stud, fishing wires, moving an electrical outlet, patching some sheetrock. Was probably 6 hours or so of work. Second project involved installing shelves in an existing cabinet. He cut the shelves to fit, routed out an area for the shelving tracks and sealed the cabinet. Also cut some holes for routing wires. Overall very pleased with both projects. They were both one-off. somewhat unusual projects but he was willing to work with me and come up with ideas on how to work around the inevitable roadblocks working on an old home. Jay is very professional, has a wide range of skills and a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended.

Everything went great! Jay was on time, extremely professional and was able to complete the work performed in a timely manner. Our handyman to do list had grown quite long and Jay was able to come in and take care of everything within a few hours. Jay even made a trip to the local hardware store to pick up items needed to make a couple of the repairs. My husband stayed home while Jay was there due to this being our first interaction with him; but going forward we feel comfortable and confident giving Jay access to our home while we are away. We highly recommend Jay for any handyman work and will defiantly use him again in the future!

He showed up when he said he would, did the work in a timely manner and did not need to purchase a new frame, he fixed the existing frame. He even looked at my dryer while he was there to let me know a part I had bought was not necessary - and then he set the dryer back away further from the door that it was messing up. He was VERY GOOD!

I?ve given this review a lot of careful consideration before posting as I know Jay has a number of high ratings, but ultimately decided that I did not want anyone to go through the same experience we did. Jay came out to give us a quote on three different projects: (i) removing an old range hood and installing a new one; (ii) installing crown molding in a few rooms; and (iii) and building an outdoor TV cabinet for enclosing a flat screen TV. On the crown molding, he gave me a quote based on the number of hours he expected for it to take. The quote was almost $500 more than a previous quote we received for labor associated with installing crown molding. When he quoted me on the range hood, he gave me a fixed amount, and I specifically noted that the range hood was a fixed amount instead of an hourly charge like the crown molding. He confirmed that that was correct. While discussing the work associated with the range hood during the estimate, I noted that my husband was very tall and that we wanted the range hood to be hung higher than our last one. At that point, Jay said that he could always modify the range hood shaft by cutting it if that was necessary to get it to the desired height. Knowing that this was a requirement of the job, Jay still quoted us a fixed amount. We decided to hire him for the range hood project and the outdoor cabinet TV. He came over two days later to do the project. We again went over the requirements, and he began working. After removing the old hood, he consulted me because it looked like the new range hood was going to hang lower than the older one. At that point, he again suggested that he could cut the shaft to make it hang higher. I then called my husband through Google Hangouts to consult with him on the height (and so that I could show him the pieces that Jay planned to cut). We discussed the height with Jay for maybe 10 minutes. After we hung up, Jay proceeded to mark measurements for the height, which were incorrect and inconsistent with what we had decided. I had to explain to him again and actually mark on the metal where the cut should be (because his measurements, which he did multiple times, were all incorrect). I even had to draw the hood on a piece of paper to ensure that he hung it correctly. A little while later, my husband stopped by during his lunch break, and while there, he had to actually screw in the range hood because Jay was struggling to lift it up (I have no idea how he would have hung this if my husband had not stopped by as he had previously mentioned trying to hoist it up with a wire coat hanger using a pillow underneath it, both of which made me very nervous for a new range hood). When Jay finished, he called me downstairs and immediately began talking about how hard this project was (even though he was fully aware of the requirements when he gave us the estimate). He himself said that he did not do a good job of caulking the seam where the range hood met the ceiling. In fact, it was quite an awful job of caulking ? it was smeared on the hood and gaps were left open. He then proceeded to charge us 66% more than he quoted us. I was shocked by this but had no choice but to write him a check. I could understand a small difference in price from the quote, but nothing that large, especially given the poor work quality. After I gave him the check, he mumbled something about not knowing where a broom was to clean up. He left our kitchen floors and counters a complete mess, as well as dirt all over the top of the range hood. At that point, I just wanted him to leave our house, so I then had to clean up after him. We have had many contractors do work on our home, and all of them have brought a shop vac or a broom with them to clean up afterward. He also dropped a screw into our disposal, which he did not get out, and almost blew out the motor on the disposal (my husband and I had to spend about 25 minutes digging it out). Additionally, he left the old range hood, and its parts in the middle of our home and did not offer to take them with him or at least place outside for bulk trash (again, this is something other contractors routinely do). Needless to say, we will not be using him for the outdoor TV project. My husband called him after he left to tell him how angry and frustrated he was with the price difference and work performed. Jay then called us ?unreasonable? customers because we wanted modifications made to the hood, which included cutting the shaft. These modifications, however, were clearly discussed with him when he came over to give us an estimate (and before any work was performed). He was fully aware of what the project required and gave us an estimate based on that knowledge. He complained about having to talk to us about the height requirements while he was working, including the fact that I called my husband through Google hangouts (even though, without these discussions, he would have done the job incorrectly). Again, any work we have had done on our house in the past has required some consultation or discussion between the contractor and my husband and/or me. Apparently, Jay thinks that these discussions are ?unreasonable .? He also suggested to my husband that my husband must intimidate or scare me given my reaction to the price differential. This was extremely offensive to me and completely inappropriate. My husband and I are a team and openly communicate about all work being done on our home. To suggest the fact that I consulted with my husband over this project suggests that I was intimidated is ludicrous and demonstrates Jay's unprofessional behavior. Several hours after my husband spoke with Jay, Jay sent me a text message again complaining about our unreasonableness and all of the ?extra modifications? required by the project. I told him I disagreed with his assessment and explained how disappointed we were not only with the price difference but his workmanship as a whole. I also asked him not to text me again. He then sent me two more text messages complaining about us as customers and our ?unreasonableness.? I had to again ask him to stop texting me. I realize that he will have a different recollection of the project and point to his many positive reviews, but I wanted to make sure that others are aware of our experience. Perhaps he has just not hung range hoods before and agreed to a job that was outside of his expertise, but in any event, his work will require additional clean up and fixing at our expense. If you decide to use him, I would be careful on the amount he ?quotes? as well as his overall workmanship.

He was great. Was responsive, did a great job. I will use him again for more jobs.

We've used Jay before and plan to call on him again when we have some projects for him. I would definitely recommend him to others and have recommended him to my neighbors. I'll post pics of his fantastic work soon.

I sent a message to him Saturday morning. He was at my house at 4:00 the same day! He is very polite and easy to work with. Will definitely call him again.

great. he was quick to respond, on time, friendly and did a good job

Jay was again excellent. He was quick to respond and able to assist me same day due to the nature of the request. He was able to quickly give me a quote and then fix upon my Ok (within minutes over text while with my renter). She thought he was excellent. Very professional and honest. He diagnosed the problem immediately - said the house has settled with the rain which put the door off track. He also replaced the short screws on the lock for much longer screws which he didn't have to do. I was very pleased with his work and he also made some good security recommendations that I think I will ask him to assist me with in the upcoming week. I would recommend him to friends and have saved his number to my speed dial.

Jay is very prompt and professional and cleans up any mess. Would highly recommend Jay's services.

Jay was amazing, while I was traveling he was able to get out to the property and access the issue and give me a quick estimate then scheduled the work for soon after. He then completed the work and described the fix and gave me the final cost which was right in line with his estimate. I appreciated the fact he was able to do all of this communication over the phone so I was able to go about my busy work while he managed this gate issue for me. I would recommend him to anyone and will be calling him later today for my next project.

We just had a gate lock that needed fixing outside, but because it was into a pool area, we needed it done quickly for security reasons. Jay came out and fixed it quickly and perfectly. We will use him again when we have 'our list' ready.

Jay is a very busy man. However, he worked in my small job the day after I called him. He is a true professional. I will definitely use him in the future. He is prompt and works quickly but thoughtfully. His price was much less than another quote I received. I am making a list for my next call to Jay!

He was very reasonable with pricing and I will use him in the future.

Jay contacted me promptly, arrived on the job on time, surveyed all the work to be done, and immediately begin working. He completed each job to perfection and cleaned up after each job. He saved me a lot of money by reusing supplies and parts I already had, which was really appreciated. With the list of repairs, I expected the job to take a couple of days, but was pleased everything was completed in one day. Jay has an easy going personality and is a hard worker. I fully expected to pay almost double what the job cost. I will definitely use Jay for all my repair needs in the future. Highly recommend.

Jay did a great job as always. We plan to continue to use Jay for all our needs.

He did great. He got everything done in one shot and was able to understand how important it was that we needed that hot water heater because it was a multifamily unit. I would use him again.
