Nice guy, did a bunch of prep work which is good, did a good job on the wall texture. Put up plastic all over the bathroom as to not get it all over, but the week after I found texture splatters all over the place. Small areas but all over, my water pick and electric toothbrush, the mirror, the glass door to the shower, floor. These were not that noticeable till I started cleaning and realized what it was. He also cleaned his equipment next to the Air Conditioners out side unit. There are big specks of texture all over it, which might not have been a big issue but the unit was two weeks old and I didn’t see it till it was dried in the sun for a few days so had to clean it with a bush not just hose it off. Only other complaint would be he doesn’t work Saturdays, which is fine but I didn’t know till he was half threw and had to wait till Monday to finish.

It went very well. Mr. Cook was very professional. He istened to my concerns on phone, made an initial trip to see the issue and listened to my concerns again, identified needs, made recommendations, etc. Provided his cost estimate. Arrived on time and concentrated on job at hand. Cleaned up after job was done and left. Very well done. Thank you.

It went very well. Mr. Cook was punctual,did exactly what he promised to do and did a very good job. He was pleasant and professional. He also helped me decide exactly how it would be best to place the shelves. I had to leave the house while he was here and I felt very comfortable doing so. I will call him again and would recommend him highly to any of my friends.
Description of Work: Mr. Cook reconfigured and painted shelving in my storage room.
I have been using John for quite some time now and a review is long overdue. He has worked on several of our houses and is our go-to handyman. He has recently become a regular at my parents house. John is honest, always on time, and his prices are very reasonable. His estimates are also on point so there are rarely any additional charges. John's work is high quality so I never have to supervise him or worry about mistakes or poor quality. Our new house needed several minor repairs / upgrades. As always, it went great - he finished on time and within budget. John also looks out for his customers. Other contractors worked on the house simultaneously and John noticed some of their mistakes and discreetly pointed them out to me. Furthermore, instead of just doing whatever I ask and taking my money, if it is not too complex, he will explain how I can do it myself and save money. I trust and highly recommend John! He is also really good with my annoying pets!
Description of Work: Installed new toilet, back door, dishwasher, 50 cabinet handles, 2 ceiling fans, 2 light fixtures, repaired 2 gates, assembled dining room table and chairs, replaced all outlets and switches, replaced hardware/locks on 3 doors, hauled away old appliances, and several other minor things.

Mr. Cook was prompt, polite and efficient. He brought all of his tools and assembled a pre-fab cabinet in less than an hour. He did a very professional job and did not make a mess. The cabinet looked great! He cleaned up the area and disposed of all of the packing materials. I would definitely hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: Previously this gentleman had adjusted sticking doors that did not latch properly. He came back another time (at no charge) and did some more adjusting. This time, he assembled a pre-fabricated cabinet that I had purchased from Target.

Response from Mr Fix It
I prepared an estimate on July 2, 2014 to repair some minor cracks and to redo a prior repair to a hall wall. The customer wanted me to contact her insurance company to discuss the repairs. They refused to talk with me about her claim. Some time later, the customer again contacted me and asked me to send my estimate to the insurance company. I forwarded the estimate to them and never heard back from them. I never had an appointment to perform the work or an agreement that I would work on the customer's house. After the customer insisted that I try to get her insurance company to agree to pay for the repairs, one of which was the result of poor workmanship and the others appeared to be from normal settling of the house, I began to feel uneasy about working for the customer. As I said before, the member's comment implies that I had agreed to do the work and failed to show up for a scheduled appointment. That is not true. I prepared an estimate but never agreed to do the work and never scheduled an appointment to start the work. John Cook
I contacted Mr.Cook on July 7th and he came out and we went over all the repairs that were needed. Within a day or so he emailed me the estimate of the work and said he could schedule the work to begin on July 28th. That day was not convenient for me so, he changed the start day to July 29th. He purchased all the materials needed except for the faucet. As he progressed with the repairs, there were more items that needed to be purchased and a couple of added repairs. In the end, he did not change the original estimate of $1,180. Mr. Cook was very courteous, professional and obviously takes great care in doing quality work. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: He stripped wallpaper in master bathroom and textured, primed and painted the walls; he repaired wallpaper in the master bedroom; he replaced the ballast in a fluorescent fixture and replaced the light covers; repaired ceiling in second bathroom; fixed toilets; replaced trim in kitchen; replaced faucet in kitchen; replaced smoke detector; and replaced top strike plates on doors between kitchen and dining room.

I understand everyone gets busy, but we haven't received a response from John after making several requests on his availability to provide us a quote to complete the work noted above. Though I'm sure based off the other reviews he does do good work, due to his lack of responsiveness, we will find someone else to complete the work needed.

Response from Mr Fix It
[member name removed] originally sent me a message on May 30, 2014. I responded on June 1, 2014 that I had work scheduled for several weeks and suggested he call me to discuss the project and my availability. He sent me another message on June 4, 2014 and again on June 6, 2014 asking about my schedule. I did not receive e-mail notification of these messages. I saw them on June 12,2014 and answered him with an apology for not replying to him. He had my phone number and could have called me as I had suggested when he didn't get a message reply. I do not normally think to log on and check my messages on a routine basis. I assume I'll receive an e-mail notification when someone has sent me a message. I will always return calls from customers who call me and leave messages on my answering machine.

The jobs were done to my satisfaction, and I am hard to please. The details are that I have nice new bathrooms and I am a happy customer of Mr. Cook's.
Description of Work: Mr. Cook renovated my two bathrooms. He removed ancient wall paper, old vanities, mirrors, and medicine cabinets. He also repainted the walls and ceilings, installed new vanities, medicine cabinets, faucets and bathroom accessories, as well as replaced molding. His work is excellent, he is very professional, courteous and makes his commitments. I urge others to use Mr. Cook.

I called John Cook at Mr. Fix It with a question about modifying a couple of exterior doors on our house. I got a voice recording, so I left a detailed message explaining the situation. Shortly thereafter I got a return phone call, but this time Mr. Cook got my voice recording. But rather than simply leave his name and number, he left a very detailed message explaining why the modifications I was asking about weren't really necessary AND how I could achieve a similar result for far less money and easily do the work myself if I chose to. To top it off, he said I could call him if I had any other questions. It turns out I didn't. His advice was very helpful and I won't hesitate a second to call Mr. Fix It the next time I need work done.
Description of Work: Provided very helpful repair suggestions.

Very nice, honest man. The problems I had were simple and he offered to fix or save money and fix it myself. Since it was a simple fix, I decided to do it myself. I asked him how much I owe him and he said just a little gas money. Thank you for your honesty Mr. Fix It!

This was a small project that required good judgment and a good eye. The first handyman I asked to do it (not this one) never showed up--probably because it was such a small job and required a lot of different skills: carpentry, painting, a good eye for matching things, good judgment on exactly what to do, etc. What's worse, there were signs that carpenter ants or termites had been behind the water-damaged baseboard in the past, so he had to be prepared to stop work and let me get an exterminator to treat if he found live insects. He took a quick look, pulled boards off to check for insects at that time, took measurements, gave me a quick estimate, and quickly did the work at the estimated price. He has a good eye, did a great job without asking me for further directions, and was professional in all contact. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Replaced selected baseboards as needed. Matched/painted, used good judgment, had a good eye, always professional, & delighted me with the result.

Mr. Cook arrived promptly. He replaced our outdoor wooden steps; the top railing on our wood deck; and replaced/repaired a portion of our wood fence. No problems. The work was done in a timely manner, excellent work; and my wife is very satisfied (and that's difficult to do).
