James has done multiple projects for me. I would highly recommend him. I just call him up and he can usually come within the week if not the same day. He's kind, honest, affordable, and pleasant to deal with. I wish all "pros" were like him. Thanks James!

James was courteous, professional and also installed our small AC unit which was a big blessing. You will find his skills extensive and his quality of work, excellent. Hire him for those projects that need a pro!

This gentleman helped my senior husband and I with an assembly of a bbq that was too much for us. It wasnâ t a big job so in reality Iâ m surprised he helped us at all. But he said he loves to help people and itâ s not always about the money. Would hire him back in a minute. Nice man James , nice wife Marie were so kind and caringâ ¦ THANKS YOU GUYS1ð

Mr. Dansby transformed our office storage room with 100+ banker boxes on the floor to an organized storage room with wall to wall industrial shelving wrapping around all 4 walls. All boxes are now neatly stored on the shelves. We are very pleased with the results!

I was going to hire him for a few small jobs on my home. Some tile work, baseboards, toe kicks, install a shower door, fix a few holes in my drywall. Then I found out he is actually a GC. He painted my house and pony walls, my gates and a railing. Fixed all defects with my stucco, removed some security doors I had on my house. One of my friends said your house looks like one of those model homes a resort even! He even washed a slider window when done that a security door had been over and hadn't been washed in who knows how many years. I have already recommended him to others. I would and will use him and his guys again!

Mr. Dansby came out a day after I found him on Home Advisor to give me an estimate. He couldn't be nicer. He and Alex, who helped him, were efficient and did an excellent job. As a senior citizen, I couldn't be more pleased. I will hire him again. They actually finished a day early.

After reading the reviews on James, I could not believe anyone could be as good as was claimed. I hired him and EVERY WORD IS TRUE, so there is no need to repeat. Have already scheduled another job for him. As a senior citizen I need to get the most for my money and James provided that. I have him on speed dial!

James came on time, along with a helper Alex. I enjoy talking with James in different subject other than the job. Alex is the quiet type. The reason I rated 4.5 on quality due to they have to come back to re-do one of the item in this project, but they both came on the next day after I notified James. I'm sure things like this would happen to anyone, so nothing to worry about this. The 4.0 in value was due to my financial issue, of course I wish the project would cost less. I appreciated they both worked very fast, and quiet. Not like some others kept talking while working, because I think being quiet meaning they are concentrating on what they do. I still have some projects, likely will contact James again. I highly recommend Mr. Howard James Dansby, to those who looking for a helps.

He was very pleasant, friendly and got right to work. I recommended him to one of my sons and he helped him with a problem he was having. I also gave his card to my son in law, we used the same handyman before he moved out of state.

James was the best! He called back right away when I first contacted him about our projects. He came at exactly the time we agreed for him to come and look over the projects and exactly on time on the two days he was there to work. When we were looking around the house, he suggested a couple of extra things he could do, without being pushy about them - he was right and I did add them to the list. It was great to find such a professional and all round nice guy! Thanks, James.

The handyman knew what he was doing when he fixed my fence and it was done in no time at all so I was very happy and it was replaced exactly like it was before.
