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!

Great service as always.
Description of Work: My plumber told me some of my facets would have to be replaced.In order to keep in the same style of the originals,I was going to be spending over eight hundred dollars a set, and I needed five sets. I decided to consult with Jay Van Hulst ,the owner of Mr. Quick Fix before I made the purchase. Jay fixed all the plumbing for one hundred and eighty dollars.

Description of Work: Jay helped to repair a door broken in a robbery. It was a Sunday afternoon and he quickly replied and responded. He repaired the door with a temporary fix until a full repair could be made. I can't thank him enough for taking time to help us on his day off.

Description of Work: Very professional and when we hit some unforeseen hiccups it was easy to come to an agreement. I would highly recommend for any project big or small. BTW, almost no company would even pretend to care about my project it being a semi small to-do, Shane in them because it is just the beginning of about 20 more projects.

Description of Work: The cost of the repair was approximately $50 more than the estimate because he determined that the repair was more involved than he thought. His work was fine, I was just disappointed in paying $175 to repair one small pane of glass in a window.

Response from Mr QuickFix
Dear customer, I would have gladly explained the higher price to you if you had just asked me at the time of the repair. It is now 3 months later and not real easy for me to answer you now, yet I remember that I also had to repair the window screen that you had damaged when you broke into your own window (after loosing your key) to get back into your house. When you had asked me over the phone about a price estimate you did not mention at all the broken screen to me. To the best of my recollection, that added the $50 to the amount I had previously indicated. I'm a little surprised that you complain so late - and on this site - to me about something that could have easily been cleared up while I was there.

Description of Work: Jay worked for me for a day and a half to hang ceiling shelving in garage, wall mounted a large tv, hung 2 pendant lights, changed out 2 dimmer switches, rerouted a gutter, and several other small jobs. Jay was very easy to work with and he did a great job.

Description of Work: Jay was prompt on initial response. He was provided a picture of requested job and said he could complete the job requested. On day of scheduled service, he called and was extremely rude when clarifying directions to find our home. Upon arrival he again was gruff and was more concerned about who lived in the home rather than the requested job. He then told us he could not complete the job and was interested. I'm not sure how and why he was rated so high by others. Regardless this was our experience. I guess everyone has a "first day"!

Response from Mr QuickFix
What a great surprise! This customer is actually wrong on all points, except on the fact that she sent me a catalog picture of a storage bench she wanted built inside a condo. When I notified her that I would come by to take measurements and discuss details she gave me a street address ("58..") with a WRONG city block indication. When I searched within that block and could not find the address, I texted her the following, asking for her help with the address: "You said betw Greenville and Mathilda. That's the 5700 block. Is it the apartment complex further east?" After waiting in my truck for 5 min with no answer I called the customer. She'd realized her mistake and gave me directions. But the number for the condo complex did not exist on the outside, which kept me driving around and looking for it. Finally the customer gave me the phone number of a lady waiting inside the condo who opened her garage door in the SIDE street (with a different name) so that I finally found the right place. This confusion was surely not caused by me! I made NO derogatory remarks about the situation, except saying it was quite difficult to find this address. After being invited in and discussing several details of the planned job - and not knowing who this lady actually was - I asked where the other lady who had originally contacted me was living, trying to understand whether this was a rental situation and with the ensuing question of which party would actually pay me in the end. The lady in the condo said "here". I said "ok" and made no further comment about this and proceeded gathering info about the job, like sizing, design, desired materials etc. I was told that two other contractors before me had planned on doing this job but had for whatever reason not done it. The lady actually offered to provide me with all kinds of details that the previous guy had already worked out and that she would email them to me. I said I would gladly work with her/them on this project and thanked her and then left the premises. I never heard back from either lady, but now suddenly (10 days later) receive this unbelievably negative review that is based on absolutely NOTHING! As the many reviews from other customers on this site prove: I normally get along very well with all my customers. I treat them with courtesy and respect. I love to build good relationships that last into the future, and many customer call me back again for other jobs because they like and trust me. The two ladies in this review have some sort of a problem that does not originate with me! Perhaps they have somehow been ostracized by others and have raw nerves. But I have in no way disrespected them or treated them "extremely rude" or "gruff". The accusations are totally baseless and irrelevant. And it is very sad that they try to damage my reputation by putting out this disingenuous, untrue review.

Description of Work: Although Mr. Quickfix worked on unstopping the clogged kitchen sink, the problem was not resolved, so we had to contact a master plumber, making the repair more expensive that it could have been. But that was our bad decision. The problem was resolved by going on the roof and flushing out the lines from there, something we were not aware of.

Description of Work: Jay was professional and personable. He was going to try and come the day I called (my schedule was the problem). He came out the next day, even though I think he is really busy. He resolved a problem after I had given up. I have a window air conditioning unit that I wanted cleaned. The front of the unit had to be removed, so the unit could slide out of its case. Only the front would not separate from the unit. Using the installation paper work, didn't really help. The front would not budge. But Jay did not give up (although I had) and figured out how to resolve the problem. I have allergies and asthma so being able to clean the unit was important to me. He also had to move the unit to the back porch (its really heavy) so it could be cleaned. He also changed out the shower head. I am grateful for his help and really grateful this chore is completed.

Description of Work: The was to hang a ceiling mounted swing. Jay listed to my concerns and ideas. He shared his vision and once I was satisfied he went to work. Overall I can say he is professional, courteous, and arrived on-time. When the job was done he cleaned up the work area and even followed up with me. I plan to use Mr. Quick Fix again.

Description of Work: The door to our retail store would slam shut at the last second. The installer had assured me that was the best it could do and away they went. Called Mr. Quick Fix and set an appointment . Arrived on time and went to work. Fixed door in quickly and explained how to adjust if needed in the future. He worked quickly and was equiped to do the job. The price was right becaust I was going to spend another $150 for a new unit and installation.
