Handyman for Multiple Small Projects
Man sent to do various odd jobs in Germantown--install blinds, TV mount, cabinet, etc.--was efficient and easy to communicate with. Did exactly what I needed with quality work and kept me informed of any problems he encountered. Price was reasonable.

All materials were ordered to my satisfaction. The technicians that fixed my outdoor lantern knew exactly what needed to be done and they had all the materials. They did an excellent job.

Drywall - Repair
Yes, I recommend this pro
The dry wall specialist came out at the appointed time and date. Followed through for three days, coming when he said he would - all on time. He did a superb job of drywall repair and matching the 17 year old paint that was on the walls. I would highly recommend Jim Ness and Co for any job. They are coming out to install wall and floor cabinets because I trust them.

They called immediately when I selected them, and offered a great base price. They showed up exactly on time and made a great effort to get the job done, even though it was only 20 degrees and windy that day. I am totally satisfied, and am having them back to inspect my entire roof in the spring.

Two of the three grab bars that he installed are not level. Both bars are 1/4" lower on the left end than on the right. I verified this by using a level. A level is one of the required tools in the installation instructions. The difference is obvious because the tile behind is level. I realize that this is a very small difference, but I expect work to be done exactly.
