Description of Work: The company performed a number of jobs and all were completed in one day. They replaced 5 interior doors, replaced two bifold doors, installed baseboards in the laundry room, and replaced two old smoke alarms. The doors were for frames in an old house and had to be cut to fit. Jim and his assistant were professional and worked with a couple of adjustments that I had to make because the materials I was purchasing on my own had not yet been delivered. I am working on the next list that I would like this company to quote on. | | |E

Description of Work: We had several doors that were sagging or sticking. I originally called him for the front door, which he fixed quickly. I asked if he had time to take on the others--he did, and we are very pleased with the results, with his personality, and his charges. We will certainly call him again for handyman services. Two thumbs up.

There is no data here for us to see what happened. We also were closed the week when this customer may have contacted us. We are always open to improvements, but we are unsure if we even did a job for this customer. Angie's List is currently looking into it for us.

Description of Work: Jim came to do a free estimate on a patio door. He was on time, friendly and professional. He suggested that the problem we were having might be solved by simply spraying WD40 in the locking mechanism, and if that didn't work then it would be best if we called a locksmith. I suspect many contractors would not have been that honest and forthcoming. Jim was very pleasant even though he basically came to our house for 3 minutes and did no work. We will absolutely be calling him again for other projects. By the way, the WD40 worked wonders.

We worked for you in July 2012, and we have not heard a word from you about the job since then. We would of been responsive to your needs if we had gotten a phone call from you . It is now January 2, 2013, almost 6 months later. Next time, please give us a call so we can help resolve the situation!

We did not receive a phone call from you, so we're afraid you may have called a different company or handyman. We have caller ID, an answering machine, and we keep a written log and none of those show your info. Please consider retracting your review, as we have excellent reviews across the board, so we hope you'll see this was a mistake or a miscommunication ... or try us for your next home project and I'm sure you'll be more than satisfied!

Description of Work: Our storm door was not closing totally. Also we were considering buying another storm door or trying to add to the insulation on the door we had. Jim came on the day of his apt. within 10 minutes of the time. He made a simple fix to the door so it closed better and said we didn't need more insulation or a new storm door as the insulation on our regular door was enough. He didn't charge us a cent. He was pleasant, extremely competent, and knowledgeable. I would use him again and also recommend him.
