Mr QuickFix

Me. Van Hulst seems very trustworthy and knowledgable.

He was on time and did the job exactly as we agreed to. He even stayed until 9:00PM the last night to complete the job as promised. Very professional and clean up perfect.

We moved into a new brownstone in the Bryan Place area. Our new home was a downsizing from our previous home and we thought we got rid of enough stuff...we were wrong. We found Jay, who was local to the area and he came out the following day to install 3 heavy duty garage ceiling storage units. He did the work quickly and professionally. We were very pleased and so we asked him back to do some other things, like reconfiguring our IKEA closets and a number of other things. He was very helpful, courteous, punctual, and his work was top notch. We keep adding to our punchlist and will bring him back in the near future.

Jay was great! He arrived on time and was quick to see exactly what the issue was. He gave great advice on how to fix it and got right to work. We plan on using him in the future for all our handyman needs.

The whole process went great. Jay showed up on time and knocked everything out by late afternoon. Not to mention, he was very courteous and worked diligently the entire time.

Process was schedule for one day but the work was extensive and required two days. The original estimate was $650 and ended at $800. It was well worth the money. Definitely will hire again. PS I already called him back for another small job. His number is going in my book.

Jay was very easy to work with . I called him and explained the repair work needed for my door. We scheduled a date and he came prepared with the replacement part. The job was done in an hour and I was very happy with the work.

Jay was great. He showed up on time and worked very hard to complete all of the tasks on my to do list. Everything that he did looks good and works well. I will definitely use him in future.

He called ahead of time to see what extra materials he would need. He arrived on time, did the work and left. He is very pleasant, conscious of your time and his and finished all of my tasks on the list. I am working on my next list of "to do's" for him. I would recommend and hire him again. Very nice and helpful man.

Apparently Mr. Quick Fix has invented a device that will stop any future breakins from occurring from THAT door that was broken into. He says that even a SWAT team cannot get into the house through this device. It is a steel casing around the door below the wood frame, unseen from the outside. It is then drilled into the frame with 3" long screws. It simply can't be undone. He then replaces the wood frame back over the steel, re-caulks the frame back into place land voile you have a new and safe door that is impenetrable to thieves. For a total price of $250 it is well worth the peace of mind. I would certainly use him again, and I know that my famiiy members in another city will be calling on him as well. Very, very, very trustworthy gentleman.

Jajy arrived on time, and made good suggestions how to avoid having the new countertop crack again which we followed. So far so good. We'll call him again once we have a few handyman jobs lined up.

I live out of town and was moving my daughter and her roommates into an apt for school so i was only there for 2 days so timing was of the upmost of importance when I contacted him originally i expressed that to him and he assured me he would be there. By experience with other people in this field I was a bit uneasy ...... Well Jay kept his word he showed up on time communicated with me and came ready to work he made what could have been a very long frustrating day go very easy . I felt very comfortable having him in the house he is a very nice family man and would most certainly use him again.

Punctual, professional, personable, quick to finish. Did a really good job. Definitely will use for future projects.

Jay is responsive, timely and efficient in all aspects of his work. He works well without any supervision and he does exactly what he says he is going to do and he does it very well. He is able to do so many things that it wold take too much time to list them all. If he can't do something well, he will let you know that is out of his territory. He is honest as can be and we deem him to be outstanding asset to any remodel job.

Jay was very courteous and did a great job on our drywall and fence repairs.

Jay arrived on time and was pleasant to work with. He examined all of my projects and I went to nearby hardware store for needed supplies. He made recommendations on not replacing baseboards, saying they just needed sanding and repainting. That saved a lot of money. He got everything done in three hours - very quick. There was one thing that he couldn't do because I had the incorrect electrical supplies. Certainly not his fault. Jay recommended replacing only the light bulbs and not the whole fixtures, again saving me.

Jay was a delight to work with! All of the comments in previous reviews are totally accurate! He is very professional and came out to my house one or two days after I called him and the work I needed done was completed by the end of the week. What he charged for the work was very reasonable. I referred him to a friend and will also use him again myself. I am very happy to have found someone I can trust to do a good job and once I find that person, I stay with them!

Jay is warm and professional and someone we feel very comfortable having in our home. Upon arrival to give us an estimate, he clearly explained his pricing structure and hourly rate, and discussed each job with us. When he came to do the jobs (over a two day period), Jay did excellent work without wasting even a minute of time. We are so grateful to have found him. We've already recommended him to family members and will be using his services again in the future. You can't go wrong with this gentleman handyman!

Overall satisfied with the work performed. Would definitely use for future projects.

As his reviews detail, Mr. QuickFix is much more than a handyman. Jay's a wonderful, professional problem solver that can do it all and is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Jay was a real find, thanks to Angie's List! He is extremely professional, honest, trustworthy. After being around him a short time I felt very comfortable leaving him alone in my house. Jay performed work for us over the course of several days, as our list was long. We had some real problem areas in our new home (eg; kitchen shelves that needed additional support, a safety issue between our gas range and cupboard, leak in 2nd story window, leaking front door that required parts from a specialty door store, etc. He is more than a Handyman--he is a problem solver. It was so refreshing to have someone who didn't run from a problem but would develop a solution. We have just finished Phase 1 of the most urgent work with Jay and will be using him for the second phase (eg; replacing fence, addressing problem area in kitchen that needs to be trimmed out, installing under counter lighting, etc.) Again, we could not be more pleased. .

Jay was very nice and was very efficient. He had all the necessary tools with him and didn't waste anytime getting to work. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who asks me!

When Jay says he's quick, he means it! While I was waiting on a quote from another Angie's list provider, I called Jay. He came out and had my list completed inside an hour and a half....(including a trip to Harbor Freight Tools!)...leaving the other provider in the dust. When it comes to handymen, you usually are having to wait on them, but Jay waits on his clients. It was while he was waiting to hear back from one of his clients, that he squeezed my job in. He finished my job, and still had time to go to one, maybe two, more. Jay is quick, but in no way does he sacrifice quality or professionalism. He is smart, pays a lot of attention to detail, and if he had charged me by the hour, he would have shorted himself. Jay was worth every penny, just from the quickness point of view.

I called and left a text message and Jay got back to me within the afternoon. He was working out of town for two weeks, and my need was urgent, so he recommended his son. Both Jay and Emmanuel are professional, communicative, and thorough. Emmanuel arrived the very next morning, got the job done immediately, it's looks great, he was careful with my things that he was working around, and he even cleaned up after himself! I was comfortable with the work he was doing and him being in my home. I couldn't be happier. They were up front about the price, which I think was very fair. Thanks Jay and Emmanuel!

Jay installed my water heater with a lot of care and professionalism. He was one of the few handymen willing to drive to the distributer, who gave us a brand new water heater because it was under warranty. Jay also followed up two days later to check if everything was ok. You can tell that Jay really cares and money is only secondary to him. His prices are very reasonable too. I would recommend him anytime.
