"They were fantastic. Jared and Jake were very professional and courteous. They went above and beyond when replacing our water heater. The previous owners of the house installed the old water heater poorly. These guys not only replaced the water heater, but fixed all the piping and attachments as well. I’d definitely hire this company again for any plumbing issues."

"I believe I was the first Angie's List member to post a review on Jack of All Trades, a few years ago now. Since then he is my go-to guy whenever I need anything done in my home and I have called upon his services several times. The first time Jack came to my home was to look at a door that needed to be installed, a job two other handymen/contractors had declined because it was beyond their skills. Jack's response then was "There's always a way." That sold me.
On this last visit, Jack and Ethan knocked several things off my list all in one day. Some of the tasks were things I might have been able to do myself, but they're so much quicker and better at it. I had built a cover for the crawl space access, but the plywood I used wasn't lasting long. Jack picked up a sheet of marine plywood, which should last longer in our wet weather. They had it constructed in short order and had time to put two coats of paint on it. Jack also took the initiative to add two handles which will make it much easier for me to deal with. I appreciate things like that about Jack. He's always thinking.
The ceiling exhaust fan in the kitchen was probably the original one installed when the house was built in 1954. It didn't do much for removing smoke or steam. I purchased a new replacement fan, with the idea of having Jack swap them out, but I was disappointed I couldn't find anything close to my old retro-looking fan with the metal grate. After climbing to the roof and into the attic to check out how the old fan was installed, Jack determined it might be easier to rework the old fan since it fit into the ductwork so well, and to clean the filter at the roof level. Cleaning the filter alone made a big difference and another contractor might have stopped there. But Jack and Ethan disassembled the old fan, discovering some frayed electrical something-or-other and did not advise reinstalling it as is. So they took apart the new fan I'd purchased, using the motor and fan blades from the new and the mounting rack from the old and they were in business. This also meant they could re-use the retro grate. I was a very happy camper.
Between the two of them they completed all the tasks in six hours, including the deck cleaning, hauling, door fixing and painting, working in tandem and separately as needed. I've always been impressed with Jack, and am impressed with his right-hand man, Ethan, as well. Both are quick workers, very friendly and professional. They take extra care to clean up after they're done working, leaving things cleaner than when they started. They know a lot about how to do a lot of things, and on the few occasions they can't do it themselves, will research to see who can. Such as replacing a wobbly wooden handrail on the front steps. When I mentioned that I would really prefer a wrought iron one, Jack said he knew where he could get some standard ones, but remembered that Ethan knows someone who does custom, more artsy iron work. So we'll check that out. Someone else might have just tried to sell me on the work to replace the existing wooden handrail.
I love dealing with people who actually listen to their clients, don't mind spending a few minutes getting to know them so they can better serve their needs, and think outside of the box. I've always found Jack of All Trades to do honest, thoughtful work for a fair price. I have no hesitation trusting Jack and Ethan, and know they will always come through with flying colors.
I highly recommend Jack of All Trades!

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

You may have to dig out drain valves if they are buried under dirt. This method isn’t ideal, and it increases the chance of clogs and damage. Ideally, a drip irrigation system buries drain valves in a gravel pocket so they are easier to access and better-protected. If you have trouble accessing drain valves, hire a sprinkler professional to find them safely and efficiently.

Pedestal sinks typically come with two pieces: the pedestal (also known as the base or pole) and the sink basin. You may hear it referred to as a standalone sink. The sink sits on top of the pedestal, which attaches to the floor and hides the plumbing. Both pieces usually come in porcelain or ceramic. 

Older faucet fixtures may have some corrosion, leaving them stuck. Try a few techniques to loosen the fixtures.

  • Wrap the fixture with a towel and tap the base with a hammer.

  • Use a putty knife to gently remove any caulk that may be holding the handle or fixture in place.

  • Apply a few drops of penetrating oil around the base of the fixture or around the nuts.

  • Purchase a faucet pulling tool to pop the fixture loose.

Toilet augers are hand-held drain snakes. Most of them come with 3 to 6 feet of cleaning cable and a curved, plastic elbow sleeve to protect your toilet bowl. If your clog does not go beyond the toilet’s wax seal, a 3-foot auger would be sufficient. Otherwise, you may need a 6-foot auger to unclog the drain.

You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.
