Jim’s Handyman Service

Finally, I know who to call for the smallest jobs i.e. taking a small apartment refrigerator up stairs. to «honeydew» fixes. Jim has reasonable prices and goes above and beyond the job.
Thanks Jim, I’ll call on you again and definitely recommend your service.

Jim is great! His prices can’t be beat and he did a great job installing a range microwave for me. He is professional and very clean. Thanks Jim!

I read Jim’s reviews, spoke to him on the phone and via text a few times and was excited to hire him to do various jobs in my condo to prepare it for rent. He had to reschedule a few times his start date. I had no problem and worked around his schedule. Ultimately the day he set up a walk through, he canceled saying he needed to do something else and that it wasn’t 100% necessary. Again, happy to have found him, I took his word for it and scheduled him to start in a week (meanwhile 3 weeks had already gone by from his initial start date). He once again rescheduled to the following week and I still had no problem. The initial phone call I was explicit in stating I needed installation of 3 toilets, 5 faucets, a dishwasher, a drywall repair, various drawers repaired, and a larger part of the interior painted. Today, after I had to contact him last night to confirm today, he showed up. I had all toilets, faucets, paint, etc. ready for him. He said he’d be back in 30 – 45 to get the drywall needed to begin the job.
About 20 minutes later, he called to tell me that he didn’t think he’d finish within the time I wanted… weird because I never gave him a time frame and have already held out for him to start for over a month and he never even asked me if I had a deadline! I explained to him that I wish he would’ve told me the job was too large from the beginning and that I’ve patiently waited for him. He said, «That’s why I wanted to do a walk through.» I have texts stating that HE canceled the walk through, it was not ultimately necessary, and texts clearly stating that today was NOT a walk through, but an agreed start date. I ultimately lost over a month waiting for him to start, which means, had he been the least bit up front, I may have already had the work done. He did initially tell me on the phone that he would not install a water heater and I was fine with that. Had he even finished today’s work, I’d have my small patch of drywall done, my dishwasher installed, and would have been that much closer to completion. Instead, he LEFT to get drywall stating that he’d be back and instead canceled on me leaving me hanging. I got up early to meet him at the condo and left EXTREMELY disappointed and betrayed. When we met and we walked in the house, (my son lives there by himself) I was surprised to find a few unexpected extra bodies in the house asleep. I had NO idea my son’s friends had spent the night. I apologized for their presence and assured him they’d be gone by the time he returned (he seemed a bit annoyed that they were there, but so was I and ultimately they WERE NOT going to be when he returned 30 minutes later). I told him he’d be alone and I’d give him a key. I’m adding this because in the end, I cannot fathom why after FINALLY he agrees to start why he’d waste both his and my time by not starting and be so unprofessional as to leave letting me think he’d be back. And he never even asked me if I was okay with only completing some of the requested things cutting the time in half since he seemed to be concerned with time. Had I surprised him with anymore than what I told him on the phone, and had I not WA I TED A MONTH for him to have time for ME, I could understand why he may have needed to decline the job.
I can only rate him on his character, integrity, courteousness, reliability, and professionalism, not qualify of work and I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend him! So much time wasted for someone who by nature is so patient and accommodating. Perhaps his first rescheduling should’ve been when I walked.

Jim did an excellent job installing my new mailbox. Very reasonable price.
He showed up exactly at the time he said he would, even calling here first to let me know he was on the way.
I have a lot of projects i want done beginning of the new year. Will certainly call Jim.

Excellent job. Jim is a very nice honest man. He took his time to make sure things were done correctly. He even purchased a tool that he did not have to make sure the job was done correctly. He replaced my leaky shower valve and replaced the shower head. Very happy with the job and his work ethic.

Jim is awesome. The quality of his work is excellent and prices are reasonable (half of other quotes I got). He installed two dog doors, painted our kitchen, built out and installed a door up stairs and completed all of my honey do lists. He cleans up after himself. We are so happy with his services.
