Looking for a top-notch handyman in Pittsburgh? Look no further than Chris Jackson's Contracting. As an owner-operated business, we take pride in delivering exceptional results. Our award-winning team is ready to tackle any job, and we offer flexible scheduling options. Contact us today for all your handyman needs!
"The deck, chandelier, handrail, and UV projects were done in October. The windows required a special order and were installed on two consecutive days in December. Mr. Jackson and his employees did an excellent job. They are efficient and courteous, and left the work areas very clean. Chris is knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. It is difficult to make a definitive price comparison, as we did not get estimates from other contractors, but we trust Chris—I had hired him for work on a previous house—and feel that his prices were very fair and reasonable. Casement windows are expensive and we expected that; the new ones are excellent. While here to do the windows the guys also moved a heavy chest from the garage up to our second floor, a task we could not have done ourselves. We can highly recommend Chris Jackson’s Contracting. This review should have been posted long ago, but better late than never."

I have been in the residential painting industry for 28 years; I am a 4th generation painter. I opened up my own painting business in the fall of 2011. Myself and my employees take pride in what we do down to the smallest detail. We offer all aspects of interior and exterior painting; we also specialize in cabinet refinishing and faux finishes.
"Neil was very professional and explained the options we had with redoing our cabinetry. He was meticulous with our cabinets and hardware both with removal and installation. They look brand new and match perfectly with the cabinet boxes. Also, in regards to our basement, he brought a paint representative to examine our flooring since it had been sealed before incorrectly by a basement sealing company. He sealed our basement floor and it looks great."

"Jack came in with I’m old school personality but I do it right and gave us a massively high bid. We went with him because we like old school and were tired of dealing with shoddy work. Unfortunately it was not a good experience from the start. As soon as he sanded and stained the upstairs, there were large spots in multiple places, weird zig-zag lines, orbital scratches, and a total mismatch of colors between two rooms. Jack didn’t tell us about them and told us not to walk upstairs due to the stain. The color looked good from the stairs, and he went ahead and put the Bono laquer on (same laquer he used on an adjacent room last year). When we noticed these issues. Jack told us they were not his fault and it was the old wood. In hind sight we should have stopped there, but we had already been out of our house for 2 weeks. He finished the downstairs and the same issues were present, though arguably worse. He had to screen the floor to get all the orbital scratches out. We were now 4 weeks out of our house. He gave us an array of excuses, telling us he never say this before etc. He finished up. He also removed our trim and was supposed to come back and install new trim (we paid for it, sitting in our garage). At this point when the varnish dried we understood what had happened. The floor has issues everywhere. To add insult to injury, the wood he picked up and stained was too high and did not fit due to our outlets. We called Jack expressing what a mess the floors were. He came over and gave us more excuses. Jack blamed it on our wood (which it clearly wasn’t as there were no stains after the last job on them), then the stain (it was cheap minwax), and then the bono finish (the strangest one since the stains were there before the finish). He even brought his insurance in to try to have them cover the bill but they refused stating it was user error. We had 4 people come and assess them and got the same response from them all 1. He used an orbital sander on 100-year-old floors causing significant swirls 2 He used cheap minwax stain 3. He used his orbital and burned the stain into the wood (no Tbar, water pop, etc). 4. He was sloppy with the stain and dripped spots in various areas 5. He never tested the stain to see if it matched with his prior room We told him they needed redone. Due to the time it would take and situation we all though it best to get someone else to do it. Jack and I spoke multiple times and he agreed to compensate us for this. I said lets just split the difference. He said to get the floors done and send him proof that we did. We finished them (was several $1000 cheaper than Jack and took 2 weeks instead of 5 from him) and sent him the proof. He then pulled an about face and refused to reimburse us, going against his word. He said he would reimburse us some money back to help redo everything, and I got suckered again as once we had the floors complete, he refused. We used a different varnish that can be spot repaired due to our fear of having to redo the floors. Coming full circle in the saga, Jack put a sign up while he was working on the floors and my neighbor used him in her kitchen. She had exactly the same issue, a large spot on the floor. I called Jack out on it after the fact and he blamed it on cat pee from the past. The women actually resanded the floors and restained them herself without issue. No stain is there now…. We are out $15,000 (yes our fault for getting ripped off on the price). The most disappointment was Jack’s lack of standing by his work and his dishonesty telling us to have someone repair his mistake and he would return some of our money to pay. Yes, as you read this you are probably thinking what suckers. We just hope this avoids someone else getting suckered."

Professional painters can complete an exterior door painting project in one to three hours, not including drying time. The timeline depends on the door's condition, required preparation, and the number of coats needed.
Weather conditions significantly impact drying times, with high humidity or extreme temperatures extending the process. Most doors require 24 to 48 hours of curing time before resuming normal use.
While removing the door provides optimal access to all surfaces and edges, many professional painters achieve excellent results with the door remaining in place. For in-position painting, proper hardware protection and masking are essential. Door removal becomes more beneficial when dealing with significant damage, when painting both sides simultaneously, or when making dramatic color changes that require extra coats.
The ideal paint for exterior doors is a high-quality, weather-resistant formulation designed specifically for outdoor conditions. Acrylic latex paints offer excellent moisture resistance and color retention, while oil-based options provide superior hardness for high-traffic areas. Semi-gloss or gloss finishes repel dirt and moisture more effectively than flat finishes. Door material also influences paint selection—metal doors benefit from rust-inhibiting formulas, while wood doors may require specialized primers.
Hiring a professional delivers superior results for exterior door painting, especially for front entrances where appearance matters most. Professionals bring specialized equipment, extensive experience, and efficient techniques that ensure a smooth, durable finish.
While DIY painting saves on labor costs, you'll need proper tools, adequate preparation knowledge, and sufficient time to achieve comparable results. For complex door styles or when changing colors dramatically, professional expertise often justifies the additional expense.
