Jim Rice Handyman

Jim is a terrific handyman. at first I thought my job would be beyond the capacity for a handyman but I was wrong. Jim has an engineering background and was able to professionaly remove a wall to open up my kitchen as well as the other work (lighting, flooring, plastering). He worked with me to coordinate his work with the installation of granite countertops and plumbing. I was able to leave him at home to do his work while I went to work over several days. He is completely reliable and trustworthy. His prices are excellent. I would definitely hire again.

Sept 13, 2017 Jim Rice visited our laundry room to check and give estimate. He indicated that he will have to open the wall. He will re-route the pipes. Install new one lever faucet for washer recessed in the wall above the washer in a box. He will change sink faucet. He indicated that he will be able to do the job on Friday Sept 22, 2017. His estimate was between $200 and $250. On Sept 14 afternoon, I awarded the project to Jim Rice. Since job was simple and straightforward and only Jim was involved, I did not see necessity of getting in written details of the job described verbally by Jim during the estimate. On Sept 22, 2017 Jim arrived at 8:15 am. He finished the job by 11 am. His methods were different than I read about plumbing. He did not open the wall. Re-routing was done outside the wall. He did not find it necessary to install a recessed box for the washer faucet. We did not get 43” clear height. It was just about 41 and 7/8”. Because of that we did not get more depth on the platform that I was expecting. Re-routing is not done but not nicely (pipes are not in parallel. It works but does not look professional). He charged $250. As seen in the photos I installed the washer but could not take deep enough due to lack of height of the new piping. Object of the project was partially met but original plan described during the estimate was not followed.

Jim was very professional and did a fantastic job.

I found Jim on Angie's List with high reviews. He's local so I called for an estimate, arrived in two hours. He was friendly and professional with no high pressure. His estimate was very reasonable so I didn't get competing bids. I supplied the parts and paid for his labor. The kitchen faucet was in the corner sink and a nightmare to get to. Took the last guy almost three hours to install it. Jim had the new faucet & garbage disposal installed in about an hour. He made plumbing look easy and it's not. The laundry room faucet was faster but he had to leave twice for parts which made the job take longer. Overall I an very pleased with Jim. He's been in the handyman business for over 13 years and has a strong customer base. He gets most of his work by word of mouth because he's good. This is the guy you want for any handyman service.

I highly recommend Jim. I've had him back numerous times to help us with small and large jobs. (It made me list a price but it has been varied based on how much work I have for him each trip. Sometimes $100, sometimes $1,000 for very large multi-day jobs). He is always on time with his tools and ready to work. I don't like leaving people alone in my house but I completely trust him. He prices by the job and he is very fair and does a great job. I am very particular and haven't had a single complaint about anything he has done for us. Great guy and a great worker. So happy we found him!

Great job and in short period of time considering the work involved

Jim is as courteous and professional as a consumer could ask for. His estimate was fair and he stuck to it. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
