Highly recommend JCB. Contacted them and they came out a day later and built a playset for us. Costs were reasonable and job was well done!!

I am more than pleased with the work performed by JCB Handyman Services. Their fees were reasonable, they quickly responded to my text messages, were neat and cleaned up their work areas, and they provided suggestions on how to address my questions. I will definitely hire them in the future for work I need done m

I had a very positive experience with JCB and will definitely call them in the future when I need help. I wanted to completely change my kitchen but I didn’t want to shoulder the expense of new cabinetry. I spoke to Brandon about my vision (which was to have a rustic, distressed look on my kitchen cabinetry with coordinated accent cabinetry around the kitchen) and he gave me a lot of helpful info on the phone, even before I signed the contract. He came out to my home to show me what they could do, to make sure it was to my liking. His estimate also seemed fair. Once the job started, Brandon and Chris and Joe were kind and communicative, letting me know what they were doing each day and checking in for feedback. Because I wanted a unique, distressed look on my cabinets, they created the look entirely by hand based on my description of what I wanted. It was painstaking and labor-intensive, but they worked efficiently. The entire job was done in a week (they worked through the weekend) and I’m thrilled with the result. They also re-painted my walls, in a color that complimented the new cabinetry, and they replaced a light fixture. In addition to be very talented and building me a kitchen that I love, they are genuinely good humans, which is even more important. I’d highly recommend JCB.

It was ok. The wall patching is not smooth and required sanding on my part afterwards

Charged multiple hidden fees
Response from JCB Handyman/ Masonry
"Before our techs start on any job we require signature on our paperwork, our material charges are all separate and always an added cost, our paperwork states everything that will be done we tell every customer to read before signature. Unfortunately [Member Name Removed] you’re $10.00 material charge for our trim nails is what we needed to mount you’re trim. We give our materials cost, most companies will mark up material and charge extra. We are a very experienced company and have a our rates however there’s nothing we can do about the price of material. If you can’t afford $10.00 and the free drywall mud then you should’ve waited to get you’re work done."

We will absolutely go through this company again! They were very professional, timely, and offered honest and reliable work. We highly recommend to anybody with odd jobs, interior or exterior work. We were very pleased with our repair! Thank you!

First, I was asked to sign a blank contract that indicated an hourly rate. That alone was no problem, but when the work was done, I was very surprised to find a previously undiscussed flat fee charge added for $40. Next, they charged me for an extra half hour. My camera shows them finishing up and going to sit in their truck instead of texting me or ringing the doorbell. Third, I had provided a plaque for them to replace my floating house numbers. Apparently, they couldn’t make the numbers “float”, so instead of explaining that to me and asking for further direction, they went ahead and drilled the numbers right into the plaque rendering $65+ worth of supplies useless. And they charged me $12 for the screws needed to do this. They did take $30 off the final bill to account for supplies, but that was an argument in itself. Lastly, I had asked in advance for them to take pictures of my windows when they were on the ladder so I could see if any further work needed to be done, but if they took them at all, they refused to send them. I texted them twice asking for the pictures with no answer at all. I would look elsewhere for a handyman with consistent reviews who stand behind their work and own up to mistakes. And who won’t charge you extra for them. They refused to solve any of these issues other than the $30 credit.

"Yes, to [Member Name Removed] H and any of our customers we have our contact sheet specifically stated “ we are an hourly rate company at $ per hour per tech” which every homeowner is required to read and sign before start. Which you agreed to and signed. The $40.00 that is stated in bold writing in the contract is a service charge. You’re house numbers were put up as asked only to hear afterwards that you wanted them to have “ the floating look”. Yes we did charge for our masonry screws and that is quite normal to barge for also being at 3 dollars per screw I don’t see what the issue was. Us being a company we do like to make the customer happy, therefore I Brandon and [Member Name Removed] came to an agreement at her residence subtracting money from her total for the house numbers. We are a hard working company that is very reputable and highly skilled, we give ballpark estimates but will never guarantee that estimate, even if we did talk about prices JCB was never a set price. In conclusion I’m very sorry you feel the way you do but we have a signed contract, we’ve attempted to resolve things at the job then a month later you’d like to be refunded almost half the cost of the entire job. We do good work at a fair price."

Brandon contacted me shortly after my estimate inquiry through Angi, explained billing structure, and set a time for on-site estimate. He and his father (Joe) arrived within a reasonable time of the predetermined appointment time to evaluate the job. They agreed to purchase materials from a local big box home improvement store, brought (3) fence posts and Quikcrete which were left at my property. Installed temporary bracing to ensure fencing would remain standing until repaired. I paid them for all of these materials and services, with the agreement that they would evaluate picket materials/availability and provide me an estimate for the job. Joe called me later that day to discuss the job and we came to agreement regarding the way ahead. He told me that I would be receiving an estimate from Brandon within the next day or two. After a week with no contact, I reached out to Brandon everyday for a week, using the previously used cell number via text messages/phone calls and left voice mail messages for each; NO RESPONSE!!! Apparently, these guys don't want the job but don't have the professionalism to tell me so, or even return my calls/messages. It has been over three weeks of no forward progress on this job, so I am moving on to a different handyman company that wants to work. Based on my initial impressions and meeting, I had high hopes for a long relationship to accomplish many projects to our mutual benefit, but I would NOT recommend this handyman company based on my experiences due to lack of responsiveness.

Pro:Three showed up polite and got the work done in the time allocated. Con:They kept telling me how I needed more things done and my house would not pass a home inspection. An example is bracing for a fence trim. I felt pressured and like they only wanted more work out of my home. Also they charged $30 for their van use! What! How else would they have got the 3 of them and their tools to the job. The work done was fine. It was the constant telling me an inspector wouldn’t pass my house that irritated me. Too bad bc info need a few more things completed.

"As for not being able to complete your list you had a budget which would not allow us to take care of all the rotted wood like above the garage door in the front of the house ."

Joe and Brandon were friendly and professional. They assessed the situation and completed the work.

They provide estimate before doing the work and they try to stick to the estimate and did the work in a timely manner. The company is being run by a father and son; and so it is a family owned company, and they can do different numerous works like plumbing, painting, electrical, roofing, and chimney masonry.
