We are very happy with the results
frame. The general carpentry went well. The replacement of the bath fan went well. The repair of the rotten wood on the door
frame was not satisfactory. The vendor responded quickly, with what he thought was a acceptable repair. The new owners
thought otherwise. I opted to line up another individual for that repair as I was not sure a third attempt at the repair would
be satisfactory. We were at the settlement table at that point. I did not make Ashburnhandyman aware of my actions as
I was more concerned with making the new owner happy with the repair. I did not ask for any price adjustment, as I
did not give Ashburnhandyman the opportunity to correct the work. I do not expect a price adjustment or any
compensation. They handled my original request professionally, made a timely visit to the property and corrected
all other items satisfactorily, in the time frame that I requested...less that one item. And yes, I would call them again.
Nick and his father are good people. The pros: they are knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. They do things the RIGHT way. The one con: they charge $125 per hour. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Description of Work: Fixed the rotten door frame and touch-up painting.
Member Comments: I purchased JW Home Improvement's Big-Deal from Angie's list ($199 for 4-hour labor). The company contacted me right away and arranged an appointment for estimate (free with Big Deal). The estimate was 6-8 hours, which was longer than I expected (The similar jobs were usually done in 4-5 hours from my past experience). After 4 hours, the labor would be charged at the regular rate of $106/hr. However I was promised the final cost was be charge by actual hours.
The contractor did a good job fixing the door frame and it's completed in 5 hours. However I was unhappy that it took him an hour and half to shop for the materials in a Lowes store just 10 minutes away (included in labor hours). Next day Ed called to follow up the work and I complained about the shopping time too long. He kindly refunded me half an hour labor charge, then I was totally satisfied.
I have no doubt to give JW Home Improvement FIVE STARS for their service and will definitely hire them again.
The owner's father actually came out initially and added supports under deck between rafters to tighten up the moderately loose deck railing on one side of the house we were selling. The repair worked well and the railing tightened up nicely. Then he installed three short railings on the backyard tree house but there were some issues with the quality of that work. I called the current owner (the son of the repairman who first came out) and he was very concerned about making sure I was happy with the end product. He came out twice and re-did one side railing as well as added a 2X4 support to mount the railing brackets on the other side and hide the exposed screws that were and issue with the first installation. So Nick saved the day and restored my faith in his company. I will definitely have them come bid on future projects!
