We retained them to repair and paint some exterior woodwork on the house. They did a poor job the first time around and then promised to correct things. By this time, we had paid them a substantial sum. The second time around, things did not improve. They refused to refund the money but offered to come out a third time to fix things. Came out again and the work still didn't look good. Each time we complained, they sent out this nice gentleman who politely listened to what we said - and then a different crew would come out to do the (shoddy) work. Finally, we paid a different contractor to redo the work to standards. Jim the Handyman may be OK for fixing a towel rail but we would definitely not recommend them for anything more complicated, as their confidence in their abilities doesn't match their performance. Overall, polite folks but the work was shoddy (really shoddy) and they didn't refund our money.

We have become regular users of Jim's various handyman services, from repairing garage shelving to handing pictures or undertaking small home repairs. We can count on Jim for prompt and friendly customer service, clear advice and reasonable pricing. Very nice to have such a reliable and competent handyman service company

We used Jim the Handyman to repair our backyard deck. Two of our support posts were rotting. We had contacted several companies, both general contractor/handymen and specialized deck repair companies, to get quotes prior to contacting Jim the Handyman. The other companies all kept trying to convince us we needed to replace the entire deck and/or said that in order to replace the posts, they would need to remove all the deck planks and reassemble back. The estimator from Jim came out, assessed, and gave us a reasonable quote for just the post replacements. I was skeptical at first, given that no other company said they could do the work. But we thought we'd give them a try. And I'm glad we did! The technician/repairman that came out worked hard and did a great job. One of the posts required replacing a larger plank under the deck (rot had spread and it was clear it was necessary to replace). I braced myself for a crazy additional cost, but it was also very reasonable. He was able to repair our deck in a day without having to do more work than necessary. Very pleased and would work with them again!
