FIXTALLATIONS LLC was founded on the premise of porvidng "Olden-Day" service with modern day repair and installtion services. My motto of, "Ain't Nuthin I Can't Fix" has held up since I started the company in 2007. I try to involve my customers in any work I perform to ensure they understand what I'm doing, and why I am doing it in a particular way. This goes a long way in assuring the customer that the job is done right, and that they are getting the best value for their service issue. Additionally, should a problem arise on any service I perform, I will correct it at no charge if the problem is due to my workmanship. My base rate for services is $75.00/Hr, however, I will negotiate so that my charges are equitable for both parties. In fact, serveral customers have actually bumped up my charges because they are so pleased with my work. I never use subcontractors as I want to ensure that the job is done to my and my customers satisfaction. I also strive to build a strong personal/business relationship with my customers so they can have complete trust in me and my services. This gives the customer confidence and peace of mind that I'm on the job, and they have nothing to worry about. Many of my customers have become good friends, and they know that I will be there for them at any time they might need me. It is a gift to be able to assist my customers and resolve their issues. I offer 24 x 7 emergency service at no additional charge, except on major holidays and in the wee hours at night, at a modest premium. I am passionate about my services, and my customers can see it in my work. I love what I do, and I have a lot of fun doing it.

John did a great job - very responsive to my request, which was initially just the gutter cleaning, but he noticed that the gutter was pulling away from house. While he was here I mentioned that we had some issues w/ the dryer vent and bathroom vent. He cleared those while he was here as well.

The appliance was installed but i paid twice what anyone else would have charged for the same work. He took full advantage of not aggreeing on a price upfront, then wasted a lot of time. This was the worst service i have ever had.
Description of Work: Horrible service, slow, overpriced, showed up at odd times. Won't give an estimate upfront, then waste a lot of time to maximize his hourly rate. Big mistake not agreeing on the price of installing upfront. Never hire this man, he's a big rip off.

I was in the process of installing a new shower faucet assembly in my bathroom and had shut off the main water valve. However, once I was done, I turned the valve back on and it started seriously leaking. Unfortunately, this was on a Saturday evening and I ran through about five numbers before I found John's. I was afraid that I was going to have to shut off the water at the street and wait until Monday, but John came over, diagnosed the problem quickly, tightened everything up to stop the leak, and explained what had happened and how to prevent it in the future. All of this at night on a weekend for a reasonable rate. Fantastic experience.
Description of Work: My main water valve had a loose fitting, causing it to spring a serious leak.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you called me, and I'm that I was able help. (Even though I'm not so great at pouring water from a paint tray.) I'm also happy that I was able to convey (I hope) the workings of the ubiquitous "Gate Valve". Please don't hesitate to contact me for anything you are having trouble with. Please also remember that estimates and consulting are ALWAYS at no charge. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Best, John Bobolsky Owner/President FIXTALLATIONS LLC

Description of Work: We had water damage due to the heavy snow fall. He came out and did what he could by resealing the windows. He could not do everything because of the amount of snow but he help the situation. He was very polite and came quickly. He was honest about what could be done. I would use him again. Thanks - Jeanne Loeffler

How did it go? It went the same way it always goes when I call someone from Angie's list: Sucky. After being badgered for model numfber and serial number, the supply just flat out refused to call back to schedule an appointment. I supplied three different phone numbers, so it was not a case where there was a wrong number. Finding qualified, competent suppliers in this region is next to impossible.
Description of Work: No work was perfomed. After providing model and serial numbers for a microwave repair, I was never called back. The supplied talked endlessly about what he could do and then never even called back to get the work. Isn't there anybody in this area who want to actually work?

Response from FIXTALLATIONS LLC
I sincerely regret that things turned out as they did. Once the snow melted this year, service companies like myself have been inundated with winter weather damage, many of which are emergencies, frozen, burst plumbing, would be a good example. As my company consists myself, I am doing my best just to get through each day as I try to keep up. I would imagine that many companies like mine are experiencing the same situation, which may be part of the reason you are having difficulties and frustration in finding someone to help you. That said, there is absolutely no excuse for me to have at least contacted you regarding my situation. It is of my utmost importance to resolve a customer's issue, and do the job to my customers, and my own personal expectations. To that end, I still have the information on your microwave oven, and if you would allow me opportunity, I propose to you that I would appreciate the chance to change out the bad part, and/or troubleshoot your microwave at absolutely NO CHARGE for labor, no matter how long it takes to get you up and running. Again, I sincerely empathize with your anger and frustration, but not more than the anger of me letting your issue fall into the cracks. I will wait for a day or two to decide whether or not you are interested in allowing me be of service to you. Otherwise I will contact you to confirm your wishes, either way. Regretfully and with no excuses, John Bobolsky FIXTALLATIONS LLC

John agreed to a next day appointment. He arrived and began troubleshooting to see if the problem was electrical in nature or was related to the appliance. He diagnosed the problem (faulty switch) quickly, and bought a new one at the local Home Depot since the part he had on hand was not a cosmetic match. He was on site for a little over 2 hours, and billed me for 1.5 hours at a rate of $75 per hour. He was a few minutes late due to a family obligation, but he called to notify me. For future issues he will be the first service I call, I was very satisfied with the level of service I received. I felt comfortable with his knowledge and level of professionalism.
Description of Work: I contacted John regarding a garbage disposal problem reported by my tenant. She reported that the the disposal was getting no power, the sink was draining slowly, and that the outlet near the kitchen was also not functioning.

John, owner of the company and repairman, was very thorough and responsive to our requests. He returned our phone calls promptly and gave us accurate estimates. We felt his price was fair for the work accomplished. So far, the work has held up and appears to have alleviated our concerns for the longer term. Time will tell. He called OFTEN, throughout the repair work. The only part of the experience that wasn't completely to our satisfaction is that John recommended several other items that might need repair....as in he appeared to be looking for ways to do more than just the work we had asked to be done. I suppose he is interested in future business, can't blame him for that especially in light of the economy, but we want to be the ones to call him when we need something done, not be "talked" into fixing things that we are not yet ready to repair/pay for. This property is a rental and we manage it ourselves. We will use him again for future repairs...in fact have already contracted with him to fix a broken pipe that ruptured in the cold weather. Will comment on his plumbing skills when appropriate.
Description of Work: Gutters cleaned and repaired...he re-attached and realigned gutters that were starting to come away from the building and cleaned out organic material that had built up in them over the course of two years. Now water flows better and the gutters should last several more years. They are three stories high and back to a heavily wooded area. extensive ladder work was required. rate was $85/hr. Fixed a broken dishwasher handle (spring needed to be replaced...he located the problem, found the part, and fixed it. Maytag dishwasher...3 years old). Fixed two pantry doors that roll side to side on a top mounted track. The track needed repair and reshaping and the rollers were put back in place. Rubber bumpers were installed to prevent further issues. Reattached a smoke detector that had torn away from the ceiling. 3 hours of work at $75/hr.

Please accept my apologies, if you feel that I was fishing for business on anything I may have pointed out as a problem or potential problem. I do this with all of my customers simply to make them aware. The process starts as I am walking up to the location, and ends after I have relayed my observations to the customer. On smaller problems, I typically aks the customer if it would be OK with them to fix or adjust an issue that I have found, and repair it at no charge. Please understand that since I am working for a customer, they dictate what I do, based soley on their priority(s). I will not rush my work, nor do I charge extra time for doing a job to my own demanding expectations. My quoted service rates are simply a basis for me to bill a customer, and can go up or down depending on the specific service provided. My goal is, and always will be to provide services at a fair and equitable cost to both parties. I expect excellent value for my money, and that is how I ultimately bill my customers. Additionally, if anything specific I have serviced ends up needing further repair or adjustment after I have billed for it, I will resove the problem at no charge. Finally, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on my work, and especially your candor. I strive constantly improve the services I provide, as well as to better understand my individule customer's expectations. I want you, and all of my rental customers to be confident that whatever issue comes up, it will be taken care of properly and equitably. Best regards, John Bobolsky FIXTALLATIONS LLC

John is an excellent handyman to have. He does every job, no matter how small. He is always willing to give advice on things unrelated to the actual job his client has hired him for. He is willing to work around your schedule and understands people work for a living, and is willing to work evenings and weekends. He performed the work excellently and took great care to make sure it only has to be done once. He warranties his work for the life of the installation. He is educated and very professional. He is clean and respectful of people's homes.
