Just great. Jim was on time, did a good install, and explained how the shades worked. He is pleasant to work with. I'm glad I've found him as now I know who can do the kind of small stuff we can't or don't want to do ourselves.

Everything went great. I thought the doors and window would have to be replaced (which would have been very costly) but Jim was able to save them. He removed the doors, cleaned them up, sanded, repainted, repaired the glass and installed deadbolts. The doors are now very solid, secure and look great. Same with the basement window; he was able to rehab it and it looks great. He also did a great job cleaning ...sadly both garage doors and basement window were really dirty! The wallboard repair looks great and is now ready for repainting, which I plan on hiring Jim to do this winter.

Jim was GREAT! He was professional, timely, and efficient. We were preparing to sell our home and he added a lot of great advice and little quick things to spruce up everything just that little bit extra. The rooms painted looked perfect, and all the bathroom and other work was completed very professionally. I would definitely hire Jim again!

We had to reschedule once because of bad weather. Work that was done was great. Fixtures look really nice and now we have lighting outside.

He is a jack of all traits and he is very good.  He is still working for me.  When we first used this house we used a lot of people but it?s pretty well rehab now but Jim?s comes at least once a month.  He gets stars.  If I could afford more I would let him come more than once a month.  He was the person who helped us get this house in shape so charge us less and I don?t know what his going rate is.  

He really is good and knows how to do a number of things which I appreciate.  He was recommended by a friend and he has done work for my daughter.  So he was here the whole time the house is being rehab and he brought people in.  He is a handyman and not a builder.  He can build things but he likes to do handyman stuff which he is good at.  He put glued my grandchildren toys.  He has become a friend too.

Jim is helpful. friendly, knowledgable, and responsive. He does a very good job and works quickly. He has also done electrical work for me, and helped to plane an old door that was sticking. He's my go-to hangman!

I contacted Jim to install two light fixtures. He was responsive to my contacts and called ahead that day to confirm.  The job was completed as expected. He was very friendly and I will use him again!

Wow, I mean Wow! Jim was the 7th!!! person we called, most off of Craiglist (all losers). #1 all the Angie's list people responded and were professional (but REAL expensive), Jim had had the schedule and time we needed. The Craigslist people never made it out of the bar or were violating their probation.
Jim did work for us on an investment property.
The most important thing about Jim is that he knows when to do a Picasso and when not. Sometimes you need a guy to spend 3 days screwing in a light bulb and other times you just need a guy to do some electrical work. Jim can do both or can at least ask what you want. All the other people (if they bothered to show up) quoted us Picasso's. Jim was a bit pricey BUT OH SO WORTH IT!!! So professional and calm and PRACTICAL. He knew when it was practical to paint the Picasso and when to make it look good for the inspectors. For our needs we totally depended upon his guided. He so saved our investment from going under water.
I would take a bullet for this guy. Grab him and never let him go.
