Installation of the bathroom faucet was done efficiently and Jon cleaned up perfectly. He further recommended a plumbing firm to take care of the problem with my outdoor spigot, and texted me when he saw an Angie's List deal which he thought fit my needs. So thoughtful! Jon's a eeliable technician and a great guy.
Description of Work: Jon installed a bathroom faucet which he'd advised me to purchase previously. He then inspected my outdoor faucet, which was dripping. He followed the line inside and determined that the outdoor spigot needed to be replaced and the main shutoff valve also needed replacement.

Mr. Evans responded to our request for three separate bids each within one week and completed our list of projects quickly, doing an excellent job. He costed out options for some of the fixes, so that we could make informed decisions. He is very competent and professional and we will definitely go to him for future projects.

I decided to call Jon to come take a look at a problem toilet that had a clog in it that I just couldn't plunge away. He came out on short notice and snaked it without any trouble, all for a reasonable fee. I've used Jon before for odd-jobs around the house, like hanging curtain rods, and would go to him for most other jobs initially before paying more for a specialist. He was friendly, professional, and does things for a reasonable rate.
Description of Work: Jon came out on short notice to snake a problem toilet for us- something that I didn't feel comfortable doing myself.
It went very well, as usual - - I have used Jon's services for several years, and he never fails to amaze me with regard to his knowledge of virtually every handyman job, plus his professionalism and courtesy. Jon's prices are reasonable, and his honesty and integrity are second to none. If you want the job done correctly the first time, call Jon!
Description of Work: Jon repaired and repainted a large section of drywall; he also fixed a crack in my cement porch, replaced three toilet seats, and fixed a toilet that kept running and running.

Jon was great. He did everything on our list very well at a reasonable price. He was a pleasure to work with. He got in touch with us immediately after we inquired and arranged a time to go over our list and a day to do the job that was convenient for us and within a week of contacting him. We thought we would have to have him build a new gate, but he was able to repair it, saving us a lot of money. He tracked down an obscure part needed to re-install our window screen. The caulking in the bathroom is perfect. Everything he did is perfect. Thanks to Jon for doing a great job and eliminating our long standing list the house problems.

I called a few contractors I saw on Angie's list on Tuesday, 4 August 2015, stating I needed an bathroom electrical switch replaced as soon as possible (preferably the next day). Jon and one other contractor responded to my call. The other contractor said he could do the work the following day and would call me back later in the evening to setup a time for the appt. Jon was away but told me he would be back on Thursday and I asked him to call me just in case I didn't find anyone. The other contractor never called to schedule the appt, and Jon, true to his word, called me the next day and we setup an appt for Thursday the 6th. Jon was prompt, professional, completed the work as described. I would definitely hire Jon again for future projects.

It went great! I called Jon to see when he could repair the toilet; it turned out that he was between appointments, and was able to come over within the hour. Jon went to work immediately, and had the toilet fixed in a short time. Jon has "saved the day" many times over the years; he is a total professional, who is so knowledgeable about virtually everything concerning home maintenance/repair. His prices are reasonable, and he is completely trustworthy. If you're looking for an excellent home repair expert, call Jon.
Description of Work: He repaired a toilet that wouldn't refill with water.

Jon doesn't cut corners and takes pride in his work. His rates are reasonable and he is punctual and professional. I have rental properties and will continue to use Jon for all my handyman repair needs. UPDATE: Jon continues to impress with his responsiveness, attention to detail, and delivering professional work at reasonable rates. He will continue to be my go-to handyman. As a woman, I frequently encounter situations when I'm given ridiculous estimates for work by contractors and Jon impressed me from the very beginning by giving a fair estimate for work needed. Honesty and integrity are qualities that aren't easy to come by these days. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Paint and recaulk bath tubs. Jon has previously performed other work for me include replacing rotted wood on a railing and plumbing repairs. UPDATE: The fill valve on a toilet at a rental property needed replacing. I asked Jon to install a new toilet kit since the other parts were old and needed to be changed out due to age.

Jon is punctual, talene, efficient, and has very reasonable rates. Everything he's ever fixed for me has stayed fixed.
Description of Work: First Jon diagnosed the problem with my collapsed platform bed frame (propped up with books). He returned a few days later with lumber cut to fit the bed; problem solved. He also fixed my storm door with hardware he purchased that day.

My vents needed to have insulation replaced and taped as the condensation from the air conditioning was leaking into the ceiling tiles and stainging them in my den located in the basement. There is a lot of humidity in the basement and it did not help the situation. Jon knew what to do when he saw it and got busy replacing it and securing the loose insulation with metallic tape. Previous owner held it together with duct tape that had rotted over the years. Jon came and completed the job in about 90 minutes.He did an excellent job! Strongly recommend him!

Jon was a consummate professional in every way. We didn't have a handyman, and we asked our friends who did not either. Consulted Angie's List, and by far, Jon was the most responsive. He was communicative, professional, immaculate and expedient. He did not waste time, but performed everything asked of him in an efficient an thorough manner. We will call on him from now...no doubt about it. I almost hate to give him such glowing reviews because I am afraid he will get super busy with new customers. But, honestly, he was everything you could ask for. If you need an honest, down to earth pro to handle a myriad of repairs/improvements in your home -- look no further.
Description of Work: Jon handled several task including re-caulking a bathroom, re-installing a closet racks, changing out spotlights.

The sink/vanity install included replacing the old pipes coming out of the wall. The drywall repair was to patch a hole of roughly 5 feet square that had been cut when a plumber repaired a leak in our kitchen sink (see my review for Able pluming on that one.) John did a great job on both repairs, showed up exactly when he said he would and the cost was very reasonable. I believe my wife said he charges by the hour, like $45 or so, which is very reasonable, given level of skill. And he seems to be very versatile in types of jobs he can do (not all handymen are!). He also did a fence repair for us in December. Replaced maybe a dozen planks in our wooden fence for about $140, if memory serves. Again, a top-quality job. Highly recommended, based on these three jobs.
Description of Work: John Evans installed a new bathroom sink and vanity in our master bathroom, and made a drywall repair in livingroom wall.

Bottom line up front: Jon is attentive to detail, takes pride in his work, and charges exceptionally reasonable rates. Though this was a small job by comparison, I have already asked him to quote for some more extensive work at my house.

Jon is reliable and punctual. His work is of excellent quality. Everything he fixes stays fixed and he's good at making suggestions for keeping a household running efficiently. Jon brings his own tools and leaves the work area spotless. He works efficiently and is usually available within 24-72 hours of your phone call. I highly recommend Jon Evans.
Description of Work: Jon has been here several times in the past few months. Most recently he fixed a hinge on a kitchen cabinet door and checked on airflow in my too-cool basement with suggestions for keeping warm air from escaping. He's caulked around windows and back splashes in my kitchen and fixed an electrical problem in the house. He installed two bathroom fans which he obtained from a supplier on his own time as they weren't available from retail outlets. I'm constantly impressed with Jon's level of expertise.

Jon was terrific. He returned phone calls and called when he said he would, just as he was punctual about coming to our home. Very reliable and definitely offered reasonable rates for A-plus work. We can't say enough good things about him, and wish we had found him earlier. I hope we never have to use him again, but if something goes awry, we know who to call.

I called John because our renters said an outdoor faucet was leaking. Living in California with a rental property in Virginia is very challenging when it comes to repairs as we can't see the quality of work. John said he was already on a job and it may take up to 3 weeks but due to his reviews I said we would wait. It only took him a week. His estimate was less than other handymen and he texted me numerous times to let me know what was going on. When the initial replacement faucet didn't work he contacted the manufacturer for the correct part. I know our job was a small compared to others but the attention to detail he provided makes me confident to hire him for any job. Our renters were very pleased with his professionalism. If you are in any doubt about hiring a handy man , this is your guy!

As always Jon came through and did an excellent job on the job requested for him. I had a couple of loose fence postings that needed to be repaired by re-digging and re-concreted in the ground as well as a couple fence panels needing to be realigned and the boards replaced after a large tree was removed from my yard. Jon promptly did the job within 24 hours of requesting it and finished what I thought would be a couple days within a day. Excellent job and as always outstanding customer service and quality of workmanship.

I asked Jon to fix a loose panel on the outside of my sliding glass door and he noticed that because a panel was loose water had gotten in and it was rotting and strongly urged me to replace. So I ordered the replacement window from Andersen and Jon really went above and beyond (which is my experience with him generally) by taking delivery of it because it was so heavy I would not have been able to bring it inside myself. He did a great job of replacing the door and making sure it fit and matched. I really appreciate his attention to detail and looking out for me - this will really add value when I try to sell down the road.

Jon was amazing! Even though it was raining, he patiently drilled screws and hooks all along my six foot privacy fence and strung the globe lights. They look great! Jon also made suggestions as to what type of outdoor extension cord would work best, and using an outdoor mat to cover the cord, both for safety reasons and aesthetic appeal. I so appreciate Jon's professionalism, knowledge of how to do absolutely everything, and dependability. If you want a first class job done, call Jon!
Description of Work: I needed strings of globe "party lights" strung on my wooden fence in time for a 4th of July deck party. This required drilling screws in the wooden fence, and attaching plastic stays which held the lights in place.
