Odd Jobs Handyman Service & Home Improvements

Our house was built in 1920 and it was last remodeled in the 80's. We were looking to remove carpet, take down a wall between the kitchen and dining room and refinish our hardwood floors. David Miller with Odd Job was recommended to us by our real estate agent and their positive review showed. He was prompt and accurate with his estimates and was always involved in all phases of the project. I would suggest being very detailed with your requirements as you will not see an itemized contract, but David follows through with the agreed scope of the project. The Odd Jobs team paid close attention to detail and always cleaned up after the day’s work. We were always impressed with how professional the crew was at each stage of the project. We had multiple contacts that were willing to answer questions, address concerns, and be flexible with the changing needs of the renovation. The timeline did stretch beyond what was originally quoted, but we were satisfied with the quality of work and overall aesthetic of the space. We had a great experience with Odd Jobs and would certainly use them again for other work on our home.

Always Exceptional

The initial quoted price from a walk-through seemed high, but we discussed that the quote represented worst case scenario (re-wiring to two floors) and we were excited about the opportunity to have the work done in a timely manner with closing for fire safety reasons, etc. When the job was started it was seemingly discovered the grounding issue could be fixed at each outlet respectively (at least that's what we were told) and therefore the amount of work required was far less than originally speculated. The owner was very resistant to re-discuss the quoted price to reflect the seemingly more straight forward job. Ultimately he agreed to lower the price somewhat. In addition, we asked for a light bulb socket to be replaced in the basement that had a broke bulb in it. After the socket was replaced, there was no means of turning it on except screwing/unscrewing the bulb. When asked why we did not have a string or switch they responded "because we didn't specify that". We were under the impression it was still an over charge so we sought two separate opinions from BBB. The first of the two evaluations revealed that in fact the majority of the outlets were still un-grounded, and the remainder of the work was not to code (exposed wires, etc.). Furthermore, it was uncovered that OJ does not have a license to perform electrical work (only GC and HIC; although both electrical and plumbing are advertised on their website) and permits were not pulled to complete the work. We contacted them to discuss a refund to cover the services to have the electrical work done correctly and up to code - they have declined to discuss this further.

Odd Jobs Handyman did a good job for me and my family.

The name of the project manager at the company was Paul and he was very kind and proactively caring of me and my family.

Project speed and management was appropriate and though the entire project took more than 3 weeks, I could balance between the project and family time.

Especially, my wife was sick throughout the project and they showed very detailed and nice care, when I could not give them any further details.

When I needed to requests additional things to do along the projects, the company was very flexible and accommodating my new requests reasonably.
