Mr QuickFix

Done well and very responsive

Cedar Gate

Went well.

Going great so far.

On Saturday at 5:30pm, my shower would not turn off. I tried to fix it and was new to the house so I had no idea how to turn off the water.... After calling two handymen who told me that they were not available, I looked on Angie's list and found Jay. Even on a Saturday after 5 he answered his phone and came to my house within 15 Minutes. He was extremely professional, replaced the appropriate fixtures quickly, and gave me a great deal! I even called him a week later to help me put my chandelier up. Again, he was professional, on time, and quick. I will DEFINITELY be using him in the future... And would recommend him ANY DAY! Thanks Jay!

Jay performed all tasks without hesitation. This man is VERSATILE. He did all that I asked him to do in a quality manor. I will definitely use him again for my next rehab job. Jay also communicates very well by email and cell phone which is very important to me.

Showed him several small jobs that he priced immediately then returned and completed work as agreed. Added some additional jobs of ceiling and tile repair and then later some insulation and drywall and he completed all. Even though it took him longer he did not increase his charges.

He was reliable, showed up on time, and did what he said he was going to do. I would definitely recommend him.

Jay did a very good job and was very easy to work with. Responded quickly and came over to look at the job. Quoted a price, came back a few days later to do the job, and it went very well. He took out a sink and cabinet that went to an old wet bar, and patched the drywall after he was done. He did the job quickly and well, we will definitely be using him again!!

Mr Van Hulst responded to my call readily. He was available within a few days. He called to let me know he was on his way. He was punctual. He was very personable and easy to deal with. He was knowledgeable about a wide range of repairs. He was honest about not being qualified to do a fairly difficult installation of a ceiling fan where there would need to be additional wiring. He was quick and efficient. He went to the store to select a new light fixture when my old one would no longer suffice. His charges were very reasonable. I would definitely hire him again and I already have started a new list of things I need done.

This was my second time to utilize the services of Mr. Quick Fix. Jay is absolutely outstanding not only in his capabilities but also in his professionalism and demeanor. He is a rare find in the world of home repair and remodeling. I will be recommending him to everyone I know for any type of home repair or remodel project.

I contacted Jay van Hulst, "Mr. Quick Fix", about a week before the day that I was hoping to have someone come in. He answered right away, and as he was available on the day I needed, I went ahead and arranged the appointment. I spoke generally about the type of work I needed. Since he works on an hourly rate, my long list of small jobs was fine for him. I texted him a day ahead of time, at his request, to confirm. He arrived on time, and I took him through my list of tasks. He quickly set to work and got through most of them. When he got to the kitchen faucet, it gave him pause because he hadn't worked with this type of faucet before, and he didn't think he had the right tool to access an area he needed to get to. He asked if I minded if he went to a local specialty faucet store (Teter's) to get the tool he needed. He would not charge for the tool but indicated that the extra time would be included in my bill. I agreed. Once at Teter's, he called and asked me to text him a photo of my faucet, because the staff at Teter's couldn't understand what the issue was. Once they saw the picture, they were able to tell him a different way to dismantle the faucet so he could fix it properly, without a special tool. He returned and was able to complete that job, as well as all the other work. In the end, Jay did not charge for the extra time it took for him to get to Teter's, research his question, and return. I suspect this is because it was a knowledge issue as opposed to a tool issue, and he was pleased to learn a new way of dealing with this type of hardware. It has been more than two weeks since Jay's visit, and I continue to be pleased with all of the work. I am especially happy about the fix he applied to our back door knob, which had rattled for four years! The simple application of new screws makes it like a new handle.

Jay responded right away and came out the same day. He was very punctual and did the work in a timely fashion.

It took longer than either he or I thought so it went a little over original estimate. The first part of my home was built in 1920's with multiple addition since then so you truly never know what you will find when you start a project. But it went well and looks good. No problems at all.

He is great. I still use him. There isn't a lot that he could improve on. He's very punctual. He gets back to me right away. He came over right away in an emergency. His prices are good, and he does a top-quality job. He stays on top of it.

Our condominium complex had some wind damage on two fences surrounding our a/c units. I called Jay in the evening and he came out the very next day and did a good job of repairing and reinforcing the fences. Jay was very responsive, professional and reasonably priced.

Jay came over the same evening I contacted him in order to get familiar with the job and give us a quote. He charges a simple hourly rate so it was pretty easy to discuss, and no delays. He was very punctual and seemed competent and knowledgeable about what was required. He had good ideas to help us make our projects into what we really needed. He started work the following Monday morning. He got to our house on time and started right in on the list. Since my wife had met him during the quote meeting, she was totally comfortable alone in the house with him. He worked steadily and with focus. He wasn't the fastest guy we've ever seen, but we're very particular about the quality of the work (frustrated by many handymen in the past) and Jay's work was always very good the first time he showed each result to us. It took him 3 1/2 days to get all of our tasks done. All of them look great now. The lock on the door works well with the key now; the kitchen faucet switches between spray and stream perfectly again now. The calk and the grout in the tiled shower now look right and match colors again. The torn-up window trim work looks like new. The TVs look like a million bucks on the walls now. My only slight reservation was about him not wanting to actually put the TV's on the mounting brackets, due to the risk of damage to the TV's. I understand why he says that, and it is definitely a two-person job to mount them, but as amateurs, it took my wife and I two hours of sweaty, stressy frustration to get them on, even with the brackets perfectly done and just waiting for us. In any case, if you have a honey-do list that has been building up and you just want someone to come in and knock it out perfectly with no drama, Jay is your guy. Seriously. My next list for him is already building up...

I can't say enough great things about Jay and the work he does. I had an unfinished staircase that had taken my husband and I six months to work on and it still wasn't completed. Basically it was covered entirely in white paint and we were looking to expose the steps and railing since it was such beautiful wood underneath. We had no idea how involved this process wold become. Before the holidays we threw in the towel and decided to call in a real handyman. The first day Jay finished all the necessary sanding by hand for seven hours straight. I'm sure his arms were killing him but the staircase was finally ready for staining. Jay had to come back several times for the staining and sealing process and was always on time and professional. There was also repainting that ended up needing to be done and he did a great job there too. I'm thrilled with the results and by the end, I was simply leaving a key for him to come and go as needed. We've now moved onto having him work on our gutters and a fence repair. Will update report again when completed. I don't anticipate any problems though. This guy is the real deal and worth every penny.

I called Mr. Hulst in the morning to hang an oversized, heavy picture for me. He came out that afternoon during the holiday season! He was very careful with my print and very precise. He finished within minutes with a quality job.

Very well; Jay was accomodating to not only my calls but the coordination with a tenant who is not super flexible with her schedule as she's a teacher.

He was prompt and he did excellent work in repairing a gutter.

lWent very good experience of job well done!

Screen door: Mr. Van Hulst came on time, replaced torn screen perfectly and charged less than estimate. Burglar proof front door: Mr Van Hulst returned to add steel siding to front door to prevent easy kick in

Performed the tasks as needed, arrived when he promised and did the work for less than his estimate.

Great job. My husband and I thought we might have to spend the money to replace the sliding door, but we can put that off since Mr. Van Hulst fixed the busted lock for us. We'd been waiting forever for the chimney cap to get installed because my previous handyman kept canceling on me. Mr.Van Hulst spent a few hours getting it installed and I've had no problems ever since. No more birds in the chimney!!! He is a delightful man and extremely reasonable because he charges by the time. He never takes long to get the job done.
