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 came when he said he would and did all of the work that we asked. He even suggested that some repairs we wanted would be too expensive and suggested cheaper alternatives, which worked well for us. We were very satisfied with the results.
Description of Work: We had some drywall fall off the garage ceiling. Jay came and fixed that as well as replacing a door to the garage and a crack in the ceiling of our entryway. He also hung a mirror for us.

Very well. Jay is very honest and works to save you time and money. Once I called him and he helped me resolve the issue over the phone. He will tell you up front what he works on and doesn't try to figure it out. He is very knowledgeable on a lot of items. He can fix existing stuff when others say you need to buy all this etc. He charges by the hour- so its nice to have a little list and he will help with it! A big plus, he shows you how to resolve stuff in the future if it isn't too hard. He doesn't try to just get you to spend a whole lot of money for nothing.
Description of Work: Jay has performed various services in my rental home and my current home. He has hooked up fridge (when Home depot said I needed a new part etc...). Fixed my garbage disposal, hung towel rods etc. I had a list at 2 separate locations and he helped me with all.

Jay was amazing!! I have used him for years and he never disappoints. He was prompt and professional as always, and walked me through what next step we should take. He even called a friend in the AC business to get some advice for me regarding the unit. He ended up getting help (Benny) to fix the ceiling since it was a 2 person job and after a few days my old bungalow home was back to normal and even had the ceiling texture just right. Benny did great sheetrock, paint work and was very professional as well. I have Jay on my speed dial and use him for small and big projects whenever they come up.
Description of Work: My AC drip pan overflowed and my dining room ceiling fell in. I needed help fixing the water damaged ceiling, unclogging the AC drain pipe, and drain pan.

I hired Jay to repair and replace some wood siding, studs, and drywall on my spare room on a detached garage that had gotten water damaged over the years from a gap where water could trickle in. Jay and his colleagues were great and able to replace the water damaged areas within a few days as well as fully shore up the area where water was originally able to creep in. Jay was very responsive and easy to work with. Very impressed with his work and we would use again.

The quality of work was good, my only comment was the refinement of the wood working at the front door could have been better as you can see the seams where the new board was placed and the new board is not as refined as the original as far as the decorative molding at the bottom.

Jay was such a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive [for a time-sensitive project for us!] from my initial request, texts and calls and scheduling the work. His initial estimate came with descriptive information about the work he would do and the cost was very fair - much lower than what I was anticipating for this type of request. Jay went above and beyond to handle my request AND fix other items in the closet for the plumbing and dryer vent that he knew I would need to address before installing my new washer and dryer. Ten stars!
Description of Work: In my original 1940's home, we were needing to expand our small washer/dryer closet to accommodate a new larger washer/dryer, while not disrupting the original character and consistency of the trim, door, and flow in the hallway.

This was not an easy job due to tree roots and finding the main water line, but Jay and Benny did a great job of getting the job done. Total time for installation was about seven hours. This isn't the first time I've used Mr Quickfix, and it won't be the last.
Description of Work: On/Off at the water meter was extremely difficult to access, and I wanted to have access to water for the lawn sprinklers when I go on vacation and turn off the water. I had Mr. Quickfix install a ball valve on the main line after the sprinkler system AND had an additional Smart On/Off valve installed in conjunction with the ball valve. With leak detectors, I can now be notified of leaks and turn off the water via Internet, or simply use the new ball valve to turn off the water when needed.

The quality of his work is good but I was not pleased with his billing method. Jay had been at my house to help prepare a doorway where water had caused some wood to rot. We discussed adding an awning at a later date to help keep the water off the doorway. I then texted pictures of the doorway to him and asked him to give me an estimate of what it would cost. We discussed and he determined that it was $300-$400. He came and installed the awning (which looks good) but then charged me $625. He never told me that that it was going to be more expensive than we had discussed and when I asked why the increase he became defensive. He said it was based on his hours. I should have kept better track of the time he was spending but I expected some sort of notice if the project changed from our expectations.

Response from Mr QuickFix
This customer, with whom I had further discussions meanwhile (the actual job was done 1/2 year ago!!) is simply not telling the truth. Upon his inquiry about a wooden awning over his backdoor (which previously had encountered serious water damage and had been repaired by me), I showed him the picture of an awning I had constructed for another customer and told him it would cost $1,000. The customer didn't want to spend that much money, so I offered him a slim-down version for roughly $600, mentioning I would try to make it even less if possible. But I made it clear to him that I was working on a labor plus materials - or hourly - basis which he had already accepted on the previous job. This rate also applies to the time necessary for purchasing and transporting all materials to the job site. With all things added up, the job turned out to be $625 -- well within the price frame I had initially mentioned to the customer. His PERSONAL EXPECTATIONS for less money simply could not be met, and he was around all the time and able to observe me outside his house while I was working on the project and finishing it to his satisfaction. I'm truly amazed that he comes out with his allegations fully half a year after the job was done and never mentioned anything at the time the job was finished and paid. I have clearly not done ANYTHING wrong here and feel the customer is simply dishonest in his evaluation of the situation.

On both occasions I was extremely impressed with Jay's responsiveness, his clear explanation of the work to be performed, and most importantly with the excellent work he and Bennie performed. The prices were a bit high, but considering the quality of the work product, I was more than satisfied. I would definitely recommend Mr. Quickfix for your home repair needs. Please note that the price below reflects both projects.

I called and talked to Jay and he asked for pictures, texted me an estimate within a few minutes and told me he could come out in the afternoon. He was here promptly, gave me his card and professional sheet about how he approaches any job, and started to work. Very professional gentleman, has an entire workshop built into his truck including wood backing he needed to replace, finished in under an hour with perfect results.

Fine the first time. Tried a second time to get him to do other things and he blew me off.
Description of Work: I had an issue with my toilet the first time and he replaced the flapper because he said the old one was old and hard. Toilet worked fine after he repaired it. Also Repaired leaking sink pipe, too. That was fine. Then I had to call him back a month later...actually texted him since he said he prefers texts, because the same toilet was running again constantly and not working well. I asked him if he could fix the running toilet and hang curtain rods for me. He said yes to both. That was it. I texted him again And said, well can you come do that stuff? He said he'd have to see how his day played out. I said ok. Never heard from him again. I made an assumption that he didn't wanna deal with that toilet again and thought I'd expect him to guarantee his work. Well, he'd be right unless it was something different. He was nice enough the first time. But I'm not fond of the lack of response. If you don't want to do the job, just say so.

With all respect, I didn't blow you off. It was rather sheer forgetfulness in midst of much work and then several days of sickness. I didn't pay enough attention and truly apologize to the customer. Hope I can make up for it.

I had a little bit of a problem because I was not able to make contact with him and speak to him personally. It took a couple of times before I was able to speak to him. I told him the jobs I needed done, which was installing a new bathroom faucet, which I had already purchased, and replacing a flapper in another commode in my second bathroom. I got the feeling from what he was saying that he couldn't give me a real quote based on those two items. He said he would need to know what kind of flapper because there were numerous types of flappers and he may run into a problem with the faucet because of the pipes. I just decided not to use him. He said it sounded like it would be around $250 and that was acceptable but I just didn't have a good feeling. Again, I picked him because he had good reviews on Angie's List. My experience was that it was just, it just seemed to be all of these road blocks. I may have had problems with the pipes, I have to see what flapper it is, and I just felt like it was sort of over complicating the issue. The first thing they could do is if there's a voice mail, call them back, because not everyone has a smart phone. I know that may sound backward these days, but a lot of us just don't, I prefer speaking one on one with someone. So I would say if somebody calls, call them back. Give them the courtesy of a response the first time. The second thing is, instead of giving people all these things that complicate the job, just set up the appointment, come and take a look, and then you can determine what needs to be done. If it's something that I can buy at Home Depot just tell me what I need to buy, take a look at the flapper, tell me which one I need, I go buy it, I have it here by the time comes for you to come and fix it. Don't over complicate. I realize that what issues he might run into, but, it was just a little off putting for me at the time for him to tell me these things when he hadn't seen what was involved. I have had other plumber come and they have fixed the flapper with no problems. They get in, they do it, they get out. He was very personable, it's just when somebody is leaving you a voicemail just call them back the first time because I don't even check my emails every day, realize there are people who prefer voice to voice whether they text me. Don't rely on the smart phone for everything. Some people like to have that one on one contact. I thought the price was within reason. He was very professional.
