Bob has done a wide variety of jobs for me over the past couple of years and I am completely satisfied with his work. He has built a shed, built shelves, repaired cabinets and brick work on my porch, pressure washed the house and several other varied jobs. If you need more expert plumbing or electrical he will point you to reliable companies. He tells you exactly what needs to be done, pays attention to detail, prices fairly, and is a nice guy to work with. If something is not quite right, he works to make it right.

We met with the owners of Bob's Job and they reviewed the details of the work with us. A couple of days later they requested that we meet in our home with them and the workman assigned to the job - to let him review in detail what we wanted and what he would deliver. They all were cordial and professional, and promised an estimate in a day or two, which they did and we accepted. The job was scheduled a week or two later.
This was a several day job, and the workman arrived promptly on time each day. The work progressed nicely each day and was done in a workman like and professional manner. We were consulted frequently regarding options and to ensure that the results would meet our desires.He was careful to clean up each day prior to departing and did a through job of cleaning when the job was completed. He insured that work cloths were laid from the entryway through the house to the bathroom and removed them each evening. He confined himself to the work at hand and acted in a professional manner at all times. The finished work was precisely what we wanted and looked fantastic. We are very pleased with the outcome.
I will say that the estimate was a significantly higher than we anticipated and we were uncertain we would accept it. But our final decision was based on "You get what you pay for" and we are glad we chose Bob's Jobs and we are happy with all their work.

My husband and i are not very handy. We had bedroom curtains fell out and the wall had several holes and definately it was out of our league to install the bracket back to the wall. So we called bobs jobs and made an appointment. When he came to the house he started to work on it. First attempt the bracket didnt hold so he patched the wall again and left saying it needed to be dried more. He came back the same day in the afternoon , put thebracket but told us to wait 24 hours to put the rod. He never mentioned that the wall was too damaged and said it would work. We then paid him 170. The next morning we tried to put the curtains back and the bracket was so loose everything fell on us. I called him and his wife answered. I told her what was going on and I couldnt believe how rude and unprofessional she was. She said that i wanted a "quick fix" and thats what i got form wanting that. She continue saying that the wall was too damaged and needed more work , precisely 4 hours of more work. I was stunned. First of all i never said i wanted a quick fix. I was very willing to pay whatever money for a good job. Second of all, why didnt he say something when after the first unsuccessful attempt the bracket obviously was not holding? Anyway, they never offered to fix it, they were only trying to get more money from us. And more pathetic was that my husband moved the bracket couple of inches away from the damaged wall and we were able to hang the curtains again!! I cannot believe Angie's list support this provider. We are disappointed because obviously we have been ripped off. Thanks a lot Bobs jobs. He should not be in this business.

"We were asked to show up and try to hang curtain rods on a wall that was in need of repair. We were advised by the client that the work "should not take longer than an hour." Upon arrival, Bob found the walls to be in poor condition, with multiple failed holes. There were screws in the walls without anchors and this had damaged the drywall. As we were under the impression that the clients were on a budget, Bob proceeded to patch and sand the many holes. He returned in the afternoon to finish, after allowing for drying time and was able to get 3 of the 4 brackets to hold. He advised the clients to wait until the patches had completely dried overnight before attempting to hang the heavy drapes. Unfortunately, the bracket apparently failed the next day and we were called by the wife who stated she "paid for nothing." We offered to return to repair the wall again, and indicated we would discount the cost of the second visit. We explained that we would need to replace the badly damaged section of drywall and that this repair, to include cutting out the old drywall, installing a new section of drywall and then patching, mudding, sanding and painting, could take as much as four hours. Unfortunately, what can appear to be a simple and quick "fix" by a homeowner is not always the case. Since the first attempt at a repair had failed, we felt we needed to advise our budget-minded client of the worst case scenario (in this case, four hours of labor) so that there wouldn't be any unpleasant surprises in the end. [member's name removed] terminated the conversation after we offered to return to make the suggested repairs to the drywall. We were able to reach her husband about the offer and the discount to be applied to any additional work. He indicated he would speak with his wife and get back to us, but we never heard from either one of them again. We are pleased to learn that the husband was able to get the curtain bracket to hold by moving it "a few inches away from the damaged wall"."

The level of communication of this company was excellent. The quality of the work was high. The only negative was a change in cost due to the job taking longer than expected. In all other respects a great company to do business with!

Rich Fischer did a great job. Had to come back a second day to paint the second door, and we got our signals crossed about when that would be, but the result was worth the wait.

Bob and Jo at Bob's Jobs are pleasant to do business with. They are competent and quick in their flawless execution of their trade. I can find no fault with the installation, and I am very pleased with the outcome, the price paid and the experience as a whole.

Great work. Only criticism would be that I would have liked him to have done a better job cleaning up after the work was done. I feel it was an oversight on his part and probably doesn't normally happen.
Response from Bob's Jobs
"To say I am confused by this review would be an understatement. In this project, I drilled 2 small pilot holes into the ceiling joists of an 11 foot ceiling, then hand turned two eye-bolts into the holes. I was on a ladder with a large drop cloth under the ladder. I cannot fathom how I could have left any dust in their yoga room from the drilling of two small holes."
