Bob's Jobs

Bob has done a wide variety of jobs for me over the past couple of years and I am completely satisfied with his work. He has built a shed, built shelves, repaired cabinets and brick work on my porch, pressure washed the house and several other varied jobs. If you need more expert plumbing or electrical he will point you to reliable companies. He tells you exactly what needs to be done, pays attention to detail, prices fairly, and is a nice guy to work with. If something is not quite right, he works to make it right.

the work was done well and on schedule

Bob came out to look. He had come from the doctor, was limping due to a fall. He insisted he could do the work, along with a helper. He promised to call with a price. I never heard back from him.

We met with the owners of Bob's Job and they reviewed the details of the work with us. A couple of days later they requested that we meet in our home with them and the workman assigned to the job - to let him review in detail what we wanted and what he would deliver. They all were cordial and professional, and promised an estimate in a day or two, which they did and we accepted. The job was scheduled a week or two later. This was a several day job, and the workman arrived promptly on time each day. The work progressed nicely each day and was done in a workman like and professional manner. We were consulted frequently regarding options and to ensure that the results would meet our desires.He was careful to clean up each day prior to departing and did a through job of cleaning when the job was completed. He insured that work cloths were laid from the entryway through the house to the bathroom and removed them each evening. He confined himself to the work at hand and acted in a professional manner at all times. The finished work was precisely what we wanted and looked fantastic. We are very pleased with the outcome. I will say that the estimate was a significantly higher than we anticipated and we were uncertain we would accept it. But our final decision was based on "You get what you pay for" and we are glad we chose Bob's Jobs and we are happy with all their work.

My husband and i are not very handy. We had bedroom curtains fell out and the wall had several holes and definately it was out of our league to install the bracket back to the wall. So we called bobs jobs and made an appointment. When he came to the house he started to work on it. First attempt the bracket didnt hold so he patched the wall again and left saying it needed to be dried more. He came back the same day in the afternoon , put thebracket but told us to wait 24 hours to put the rod. He never mentioned that the wall was too damaged and said it would work. We then paid him 170. The next morning we tried to put the curtains back and the bracket was so loose everything fell on us. I called him and his wife answered. I told her what was going on and I couldnt believe how rude and unprofessional she was. She said that i wanted a "quick fix" and thats what i got form wanting that. She continue saying that the wall was too damaged and needed more work , precisely 4 hours of more work. I was stunned. First of all i never said i wanted a quick fix. I was very willing to pay whatever money for a good job. Second of all, why didnt he say something when after the first unsuccessful attempt the bracket obviously was not holding? Anyway, they never offered to fix it, they were only trying to get more money from us. And more pathetic was that my husband moved the bracket couple of inches away from the damaged wall and we were able to hang the curtains again!! I cannot believe Angie's list support this provider. We are disappointed because obviously we have been ripped off. Thanks a lot Bobs jobs. He should not be in this business.

Referred me to Help Around the house as they don?t do work in Portsmouth. Would contact them for any work done in Virginia Beach.

I have changed my review about Bob's Jobs. Jo, Bob's office person and significant other, is marvelous. Very professional and helpful with details. Bob has come out to my house and not only fixed a couple of minor things on the spot (thanks!), but helped me make some decisions about what I needed to do. He also told me what I didn't need to have done, saving me some money in the long run. He is also very professional and a kind man, to boot. This is not your average run-of-the-mill odd job company. They are not inexpensive, but from the contact I've had with them and from the other reviews, I can tell they provide a quality product. I'm going to have them do my bathroom as a test run, and then I will go from there. My sense is that they are very trustworthy. I think my initial negative experience with them was a missing of signals and a fluke. Overall I would definitely recommend this company. If my mother lived in town (she lives at a higher socioeconomic level than I do), I would place her in their hands in a heartbeat.

They are excellent. They are very professional, on time and very responsive. They do quality work. The quality of service is fine.

The level of communication of this company was excellent. The quality of the work was high. The only negative was a change in cost due to the job taking longer than expected. In all other respects a great company to do business with!

Rich Fischer did a great job. Had to come back a second day to paint the second door, and we got our signals crossed about when that would be, but the result was worth the wait.

Excellent!

Bob and Jo at Bob's Jobs are pleasant to do business with. They are competent and quick in their flawless execution of their trade. I can find no fault with the installation, and I am very pleased with the outcome, the price paid and the experience as a whole.

Great work. Only criticism would be that I would have liked him to have done a better job cleaning up after the work was done. I feel it was an oversight on his part and probably doesn't normally happen.
