"Helped lead building of a steel building with multiple windows and doors, including 3 overhead doors. Job included framing in windows and door jamb and insulation and installing the metal siding and roof as well as some finishing work, flashing, J channel, etc. The building was strong and all windows and doors fit correctly. Working with a steel building was new for Alex, so he had a learning curve changing over from standard building but did a good job showing up and getting project done."

Joe repaired our garage door trim and seals. He did an excellent job and was done in no time. Very satisfied with that project too. Kayan; Joe and Jesse just finished up our wooden fence repairs and did a very professional job. I’d recommend Fix-It-All for all your home repairs."

I have been in the flooring business for 2 years and have done many side jobs on my own before that. I have been in the construction field for 3.5 years on and off with experience in plumbing, flooring, windows and doors, heavy equipment, and septic services. I work around the Bismarck ND area but do travel for work as long as work is needed. I do my work because I love seeing the transformation of an area and a home. I also love helping people create their dream space.

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
