Jake's oddjobs

Founded 2012

I first started doing lawn care and yard work when I was young. I lived on a farm style property so plenty of projects like building raised beds mowing gardening and general upkeep. Since then I have helped tuns of people with all types of projects on the side , while I worked as a contractor under a master technician. I am proficient in drywall, painting, tile, basic electric, general yardwork, tree care, and harscape. I hire only a clean crew who is professional and cares about the job.

Not only did they get everything done to my satisfaction ? but they were completely professional. Since the ground was too wet, they were unable to bring in their heavy-duty equipment to finish, and we mutually agreed that they would come back to complete the job.
Description of Work
I had 4 trees that I was concerned about. The oak tree had major branches that extended over my neighbors property. It also shaded a major section of the backyard. I thought it might be necessary to cable the oak to the black walnut. The ancient horse chestnut needed to be judiciously trimmed to keep it healthy and to allow birds and squirrels to continue to use it. The maple needed to have dead wood removed.

His work was slow and unprofessional. He would not communicate what time he would show up. It also took several days longer than planned. He says that he has a crew, but he does not. He told me three people would be working on Saturday and he and one other man showed up. And then he said he had to fire that worker after 2 hours. He did not correctly protect our furniture or clean up the paint at the end of the day. He also did not protect our hardwood floors and I had to spend hours cleaning up stain from a beam that dripped onto the floor. There were also areas of white paint from the trim on the floor that we have to clean up. Some parts of the paint are uneven and drips on the trim. I have tried to contact him to resolve the outstanding issues and he hasn't replied. He was also not able to finish part of the job which was to fill a gap between our two pillars and our floor that were cut short b/c of carpet removal. Lastly, I asked him to wear a mask while in our home and he did this very inconsistently. Very poor experience.

This job was bid just for painting and no other touch up being done. when I got into the job there ended up being multiple places where other people's mistakes would have affected the quality of how my work. so instead of complaing and asking for more money to complete the project I just fixed what was needed. There was over 12 hours of sanding to get the project prepared for painting to happen."not in bid" Although unfortunate I did have to fire one of my painters on the job for insubordination though I tried to handle that outside of there house so they didn't have to be subjected to listening to an argument. All and all the job came out looking well other than there were 3 spots where I had a drip fall without knowing for a total of what would have taken at most 15 min to clean up. I would have no problem cleaning it up if it wasnt for the fact that this customer was abrasive rude and insulting and didnt pay for supplies.

I offered this guy over a 1000 dollars in free work all he had to do is buy the material and he refused so I used the material that was provided and therefore the end result wasnt what he wanted ... though I did get to do his neighbors house because of the work that was preformed. the next door neighbors along with all the other customers I have ever had gave me an a

Jake came by to give me a free quote and gave me a time frame that worked for both of us. I needed a good look to the walkway to the pool and Jake and his colleague tiled enough dirt to put down gravel/stone to our decorative water fountain. It turned out exactly what I was looking for. Thank you again for all your hard work!!!
