"I hired JLM Home Solutions to install all my interior doors and closets including frames/casings in my upstairs. Jason was a horrible person the entire time I hired him. He acted like a nice person just to get hired. I regret hiring him. Unfortunately I had signed a contract by the time I found out he was no good. Every time I brought up something that was not done right, he’d yell and raise his voice at me. He’s very rude and unprofessional with the worst customer service. He was rude on text, rude on phone and rude in person. Jared, I guess one of his employees was a great person, very polite and did an amazing job. He worked on the project in a professional manner. He didn’t come back though to finish the project because Jason sent another person instead, David, who did an awful job. Jason didn’t want to hear it that David’s work was not the greatest. I had to put a stop payment after I found out one of the closet doors wasn’t installed right and other things that were wrong. Jason got so upset that he had to come back to fix the problem after I told him I didn’t want David. Jason came to my house but failed to fix the problem still. Instead he made me feel threatened in my own house. He was all in my face yelling at me saying nothing was wrong with the closet. Even my little dog was scared. I had to call my daughter and son to come over because I was so terrified that he was maybe going to hurt me. I stayed on the phone all the time while he was there so someone could hear his abusive behavior. That day after Jason left, I had to get a second opinion on the closet. Another contractor couldn’t believe the way the closet was installed and for Jason to insist it was okay. He left the old frame on and didn’t want to here when I mentioned it. I’ll have this closet removed and a new one with new frame installed the right way. I had to insist Jason deduct some money for that closet from the balance owed to him. A couple of days later, I noticed my kitchen door they installed still had cracks on the inside frame close to the lock. I had mentioned that to him. I texted him to let him know with pictures showing the cracks. Now Jason won’t respond to my text, email or phone. I asked him to send one of his guys to fix the door. Not him because I don’t want him around me. I’ve tried everything to get to him. I know he’s ignoring me. I paid him so much money for this project. If I don’t hear from him I’ll have no choice but to file small claims. He cannot leave my door like that after I paid him so much money and thinks he can just get away with it. If there was an option of zero stars, that’s what I’d have given JLM."

Hello, my name is Tyler! I have been working in residential construction for the last seven years. Primarily in renovations, I have developed many hands on skills and acquired many of the tools it takes for the job. I am very comfortable working inside or out of a house. I would love to take a look at any renovation work you have!
"Searched for handyman service for variety of projects. Found one through Home Advisor/Angi app that serviced the area of the home that needed repairs. Called Dakota who told us she works for Tyler Handyman Service and given her the basics of the scope of repairs need. She provided us her phone number for contact. She was also given a copy in PDF form of the repairs for reference. On 10/14/23, Dakota said she was going to the house about 1-130pm. She was given the lockbox code for access since house is vacant. She texted that she need to get some supplies from Home Depot and then provided a picture of the receipt for reimbursement and provided her Venmo QR code. My boss, Joy, reimbursed Dakota for those expenses. Dakota said she was going back to the house to take care of the few items. She was to do a removal of a heater in the kitchen, but was not done. The homeowner eventually removed it themselves. Locks on the windows were not correctly installed-hence the windows cannot open, and did not do any of the storm windows repair or installed. Dakota said she will need to go back on Monday 10/16/23 at 11am. I sent her a reminder on Sunday night 10/15/23 without a response. I texted and called on Tuesday 10/17/23 and Wednesday 10/18/23 with out a response. Goes to voicemail and then mailbox is full so unable to leave any messages. I have tried calling Tylers Handyman Service and the phone number is no longer in service"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair.
The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work.
A carpenter typically does woodwork involved in constructing a home or other building, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. These tasks are different from the focus of a woodworker, who typically does the finer interior detailed woodwork such as trim and moldings.
Poured concrete is one of the best bases for a carport. You'll get one of the biggest bangs for your buck with concrete, thanks to its durability. At the same time, if concrete isn't in your budget, it might not be the best base for your installation. Dirt foundations, gravel foundations, and permeable pavers work in a crunch and can be long-lasting without the higher price tag of poured concrete.
How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet. The cost to board up a window with plywood or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.
