Handyman for Multiple Small Projects
I had numerous small, but complicated, home repairs and installations that needed expert craftsmanship. Jim the Handyman provided a specialist for each small project who performed work of exceptionally high quality. Every project was completed quickly, efficiently, and to the most exacting standards. Every team member was highly professional, but also friendly, courteous, and very respectful of my home. In addition, working with the front office team was easy and pleasant, and scheduling was a breeze. I will be directing all my future home repair and installation needs to Jim the Handyman. I cannot recommend any other organization more highly.

I’ve used them for door repairs, painting, and drywall repair and they are always great to work with. Reliable, professional, and always clean up after the work. I will continue calling them when I need things done around the house!

Mauricio B and his assistant were fantastic! They installed two ceiling lights, keeping us informed and asking preferences throughout the process. I will have to request Mauricio on any additional jobs. Highly recommend!

Jim the Handyman is fantastic! We recently had several small repairs done (we waited to bundle them into one job to make it easier for everyone). The crew they sent out did all of them in less time than I expected, and for less than half of what I expected to pay. The work was top notch (something we've seen in the other things they've done for us) and we are very pleased. In fact, I have to call them to schedule some other work. Jim the Handyman should be your go-to provider for anything you need done.

Doors - Repair
$25,000
It's a rare thing to encounter "Handymen" who have keen technical skills, loads of experience and top notch professional expertise. Neal came to my house to repair two ill-fitting doors. He took the time to explain and show me what was needed to repair the doors and then repaired them in a quickly. Neal's ability explain the problem so clearly and respond to my questions with an upbeat attitude was truly impressive. I'll be using Jim The Handyman for all my home repair needs.

Jim The Handyman did an excellent job repairing the damaged ends of our windowsills. After sanding, caulking, priming and painting, they look new again. The technician was courteous, timely, friendly, and effective. We plan to have him come back at some point to do the remaining windowsills. Thank you for doing such outstanding work.

I was very impressed with the quality of service that Jim the Handyman provided. Jason came out on the scheduled date and time to see what types of tasks I needed them to perform. He then later sent me an e-mail with their costs for each task. I then set up a date and time for them to come out to perform all the tasks. Franco and. his crew came out on the scheduled date and time and they did a terrific job! The whole process was very easy to arrange. I would highly recommend Jim the Handyman to anyone who needs household tasks done.

Construction of my window trim went very well. I found the technician sent to be very knowledgeable, and he took the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it.

They installed an interior door in our finished basement. They started on time. They finished on time and the door looks like it was always there. They cleaned up nicely after their work was done. We could not be happier with the quality of their work!

I contacted Jim the Handyman to help me after a previous contractor left me with a skylight tunnel in an awful mess. After I texted the photos of the drywall/mud tape mess, they quickly sent an estimator out and within approximately two weeks I had Franco and Maynor at my house. Franco and Maynor worked very hard over two days. I could not be happier with their work, even after their first day it looked so much better. I am so happy. Jim the Handyman always does a great job. Therefore, I always highly recommend them to friends, family and anyone in need of a handyman.

Very impressed with this group. The estimator was knowledgeable and gave a very fair price, half as much as another estimate. The carpenter was skilled, neat, and communicated well, cared about our satisfaction. The scheduler is friendly and very good at reminders when they are coming. They replaced several sections of paneling in the basement and reattached the old trim which was tricky, matched and provided the panels, They even returned to fix something my husband had installed wrong. Highest recommendation of any outfit I've worked with.
