Jim’s Handyman Service

We had a rough beginning. Jim was a no call late show the first time he was scheduled to come out to the house. My original review was a one star. Jim made good on his tardiness and he was able to complete the demo and rebuild on my sub-​flooring within the day. I’m very happy with his work.

Jim is a fair honest guy. He knows what he is doing and can tackle any job you might have. He is a true professional. I found Jim’s Handyman Service through a friend. I needed someone to fix my gate which had a broken board, the latch was loose and it would not close properly any longer, it was in bad shape way too much work for a gal like me to take on. I thought it couldn’t be that big of a deal… so, I called a fence company to come out and take a look. They came out and gave me an estimate, I nearly died when I saw the amount they were going to charge. They wanted an astronomical amount of money I was in shock. I called another gate and fence company and got the same story that I needed a whole new gate and hardware and that they do not do the staining when they are done but they could refer someone. (gee thanks) The one company tried to charge me for the estimate. I had to argue about it, and told them they had an ad that said free estimates. He tried to tell me that only applies when they do the job. Haaa, it did not say that in the ad! I refused to give him a penny what a rip off. The fence company was a no go! I was at my Witt’s end. My friend gave me Jim’s number she said he is awesome and does work for her all the time. At first I was reluctant I thought handymen were guys that did not really specialize in anything so they «rig» stuff and do sloppy work. I know shame on me! I called and I spoke to Jim he was very pleasant on the phone he agreed to come by that day and take a look at no charge even if he doesn’t do the work. He showed up right on time, in a nice truck he was polite and professional. After looking at my gate, he told me how much it would cost for parts and labor, and that he could have it done in about an hour or so. I was pleasantly surprised at how fair the amount was. He went right to work… had everything he needed except for 1 part, so he left for about 15 minutes, and came right back and finished the job on time. The gate operates like new and he painted/​stained the entire gate beautifully to match up perfectly. It never looked so good. I can’t thank my friend enough for referring Jim’s to me. Now I call him all the time whenever I need any work done. Jim has done all sorts of jobs for me from moving a washer and dryer to bigger jobs such as flooring, and plumbing. I will never call a contractor again they charge way too much. I like the fact that I can call the same person for whatever it is that I might need. The price is always fair and the work is done right. I refer Jim to everyone I know.
