I was very pleased with the quality workmanship of this business. Jorge was the handyman to repair my storm door closure issue and it works great now. He was familiar with the issue and knowledgeable in repairing it. I would highly recommend this company for its good service and reasonable pricing.

Jim the Handyman was easy to schedule with and staff and person answering phone is very nice. They quickly sent Hose to put in a new lock which I had bought already for my front glass/screen door. Hose did a great job in that extreme heat weather. Hose fixed it in a timely manner. He cleaned up everything after.
I used Jim the Handyman a second time and they quickly sent Tim an estimator as I needed new gutters and guards in the front and back. Manuel came out in a few days and fixed the front gutters and back gutters and put up gutter guards. Everything was hauled away and leaves cleaned off my balcony deck. During the last heavy rain, I had water pouring down my sliding glass doors on my balcony so definitely needed new gutters.
In the front, Hose found a birds nest hiding in my gutters so I put up guards. I relocated the birds nest to hiding in the bushes.
I am scheduling them do a third job which is power washing my deck and fence.

Andre called me to clarify the exact wording of the work assignment. I had described one task and the one I wanted to have done was another. I am grateful for his attention to detail and completing the real work I needed to have done.

I was preparing to paint our hallway, so needed to remove four air vent covers. When we removed the vents, pieces of the wall crumbled and fell off, and other parts were very jagged. I called Jim The Handyman for a price estimate. Within days, Carlos was able to come and do the repairs. He and his assistant were polite, friendly, and did awesome work. They arrived on time, and were very efficient. The final bill was reasonable and the work was great! We have used Jim The Handyman in the past, and will continue to do so! Thanks for the great job!

My new louvered closet doors were installed with perfection by Neal - Jim The Handyman. He was on time, neat, tidy, quiet and smart with lots of experience. I am having him install another set of doors because of his perfect impeccable work. I highly recommend Jim the Handyman and Neal. I need to add that I am the worlds most picky person. It is hard to meet my standards. Thanks, Neal - Jim The Handyman.

Jose did an amazing job cleaning up our brick stoop and steps which had a ton of cracks and needed to be repaired badly after the winter left it in bad shape. He worked in 100+ degree heat to get the job done and was a total professional through the whole job. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Craftsmanship & Service – Twice Over!

Finding a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor is no small feat—but Jim the Handyman has set the gold standard for home improvement. After having a significant amount of work done on the front of my home several months ago—including trim painting, beam replacement on the portico, railing updates, and foundation painting—I knew exactly who to call when it was time for more work.

From start to finish, Jonathan made the estimate process seamless, ensuring every detail was accounted for and providing clear communication along the way. Karissa and Cody in the office were equally wonderful—responsive, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. But the real stars of the show? Mauricio and his crew.

Mauricio led the team during the first project, and I was thrilled to see him back again this time. His kindness, patience, and ability to communicate made all the difference. When a small miscommunication occurred with the trim color around my front door, Mauricio was immediately apologetic and ready to fix it without hesitation. There was no stress, no hassle—just an easy, solutions-focused approach that speaks volumes about his professionalism.

Their attention to detail is unmatched—every brushstroke, every repair, every finish is completed with precision. And their reliability? Second to none. If there was ever a slight delay in arrival, Mauricio proactively communicated so I was never left wondering. That level of transparency and respect for a homeowner’s time is rare and deeply appreciated.

The transformation of my home has been incredible. The seamless finishes, the exceptional communication, and the trustworthiness of this team make Jim the Handyman the only company I’ll ever call for home projects. If you’re looking for a team that is skilled, reliable, and truly cares about their craft, look no further. I recommend them without hesitation

We had excellent service today from Jorge Falcones with Jim the Handyman. Jorge undertook two projects involving our roof. These included: filling spaces between the outside paneling on both sides of our roof -and securing a new attic gable vents. He was articulate, conscientious, and competent completing the work in the time expected and within the agreed upon budget. We've had good fortune with many contractors with Jim the Handyman and Jorge's work will continue us looking forward to hiring this same company for future projects.

We hired Jim the Handyman for drywall repair from house settling, sanding and paint touch ups. We got a quick estimate and got quickly scheduled, and the work is great. We would definitely use them again.

we needed to have a drywall repair in our kitchen ceiling due to a plumbing leak. Jim The Handyman sent Carlos to our home. He was great! He fixed the area so well, you can't even see where it was. He cleaned up when finished and could not have been nicer. I would highly recommend.

Professional, courteous, competent, affordable, honest. I can’t say enough nice things about my experiences with this company over the years. Most recently Neal, their door guy, replaced the weatherstripping around my condo door and adjusted the hinges so the door closes without scraping against the frame. He showed me how easily the weatherstripping insert can be replaced if it breaks down or gets torn so that I could do it myself next time if I wanted to. I will continue to rely on Jim and his workers for all of my handyman projects.

I am fairly new to the Northern Virginia area and found myself needing some handy work done in my home office and I was a bit nervous about using a service for many reasons but I was so absolutely impressed with Matt from Jim the handyman. From my initial call to the immediate scheduling and now completion of work I can say confidently I highly recommend this business! Matt was very professional and he was very quick and in good communication with me and obviously knew what he was doing. It was such a great experience, especially as a woman - I felt very safe and comfortable. Now I know who to call next time I have any house stuff I need done! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Jim the Handyman. Tim provided a prompt & thorough estimate for my project to replace a vanity, sink, LED mirror/medicine cabinet (250lbs), drywall repair & paint. I added on a few miscellaneous items while they were here. Mauricio & his team were reliable, efficient & professional. They took care to cover my floors & furniture, vacuum, remove items from property, etc. Pricing was reasonable & fully transparent. I will definitely call on them for my next project.

The one star is for the receptionist who was very nice when I was very frustrated. She had great communication skills. She is the reason I asked for an estimate. The person who came out was pleasant. The workers if given the time to do the job and do it correctly would be great but that isn’t the case. On Monday they arrived at 10 am left at 1:30. The two seams that needed to be repaired along with the ceiling painted. They left when the paint was wet only to look at it hours later to still see the seams and the paint bubbling. They had to come back the next day to “feather” the ceiling. They let the compound dry over night and came back the next day. The paint was wet but thankfully the job is finished. What I could say to management is to let the experts who are the workers do the job but you need to give them time to do it once and get the job done right. Coming back 3 times to finish a rushed job because they have to get to the next job isn’t going to create a happy customer. I will never use this company again. Lesson learned never pay for a job upfront. Pay when the job is complete and customer is satisfied.

The Handyman services team was on time, very experienced and polite. Efrain who worked on my home was very experienced and did a great job. He was patient arrived before the scheduled time and was exceptional with explaining everything and answered all my questions. He is an exemplary employee. I have recommended this company to my neighbors and will be having more work done by them. Sincerely, Teresa Holland

We recently hired the company “Jim-the-Handyman” to install 1) a vanity in our master bathroom; 2) to restore our downstairs bathroom which needed drywall, a toilet, a sink and a door installed; and 3) a replacement of a pocket door and its runner. The vanity installation required delicate cutting of bathroom wall tile. We are happy to report that this work was done quickly and professionally. In fact, we could not be more pleased with the work that was done by Isacc and his helper. We believe that Jim-the-Handyman is very lucky to have such talented and dedicated employees. If we could, we would put them in for a pay raise. We are recommending Jim-the-Handyman to our friends and family.

I had four different projects to complete: replace flood light fixtures, retape drywall and paint, remove deck trim and repair wood rot on deck support beam. All of these projects were completed by Isai and his coworker with attention to detail and exceeded my expectations. They cleaned up after each project and ensured my satisfaction before leaving. I would definitely recommend Jim the Handyman and will use their services in the future for other projects. Many thanks!

Mauricio and team are incredibly hard-working, a beehive of work conducted over 5 hours and I don't think anyone took a break or had a meal. I also worried that no one wore hearing or eye protection while operating loud power tools. On time, on budget, solid workmanship.

Extremely pleased with Jim The Handyman! Igor, Milton, and Anderson did some incredible work for a few projects around our house. From building a wall in our basement to expanding our master bedroom closet, including adding a door, to the drywall repairs and install including tape, mud, sand, and paint, their work was completed beautifully. The team was very professional and very communicative as we worked through several key decisions that popped up. I would highly recommend Jim The Handyman based on their high quality of work, professionalism, and great pricing. I will most definitely be bringing them back out for future work.

First time using Jim the Handyman. I would like to thank the prior reviewers for the recommendation, because this was a positive experience.

I wanted to add a screen door to our back entrance, and after several options we agreed on the best door for our home. Jim the Handyman sent out Neal to to install the door; he was quick, professional, and did a great job. Would definitely use again!

We would definitely recommend this company for anyone who has a long list of jobs that need doing! Between the in-home estimate and our first experience with their techs, we will definitely be returning customers. We especially appreciated the professionalism of Gustavo and Luis who were flexible, able to help with additional tasks that came up, and also provided recommendations to consider.

First time I hired him, he did great finishing the jobs all around the house (inside and out) and charge me the materials plus labor at $20.00/hour. He is quite slow and he charges you for his lunch hour. And leaves dirt everywhere.
Second time I called him to clean up my garden, collect the leaves, etc. He only work from 9:33 AM till 3:30, Did not pick up the leaves from the backyard saying it was too cold. He told me he will come the week after to finish, since the weather was going to be milder and also fix my leaking toilet, plus finish the back yard and enclosed my deck for the winter. For the work done on the front yard and some in the backyard, billed me $211.00. When Asked why so high, he responded his hourly rate was $30/hour, and not $20 like the previous job.
The next week came and he did not show up. When asked why he said I did not confirmed with him and he took another job. Really???
As far as I know He said he was coming for sure. And I said great!
He did not have the decency to call me and cancel. And his price per hour went up all of a sudden?
Looking at the garden work, it was not done properly, left dirt all over the place, plants that he took out were spread all over the place, never placed in a bag. And went out through my garage, spreading the dirt all inside.
So, he will do a decent job for you at first and charge you a lower price, and the get you with a higher price and a mediocre job the next.
Very dishonest.

Two of the workers just left my house and I couldn't be happier with the service. This was my first time using Jim the Handyman and there are several things they were great at. The estimate was very accurate to what I was charged, the service was done quickly, the workers were very friendly, and they also gave me suggestions for things that I was unsure of the best method to fix. The workers cleaned up well before leaving and made sure I understood the bill. I can't recommend this company enough. I'm very impressed.

I have many positive things to say about “Jim the Handyman” service and the work done!
The company’s estimator came as scheduled, I walked him to every area that needed repairs, to the rotted garage door panels, wood siding repairs, and the house outdoor wood to be caulked and painting on ground and second floors.
After I approved the estimate price for the work to be done. The very next day their handyman Jorge Falconer arrived. And Jorge walked with me to each repair area to confirm again exactly what I wanted done. I handed him my custom matching paint, and 6 hours later the work was completed! Perfect, flawless, no paint mess and no cleanup for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A happy customer,

I requested an estimate for exterior painting using their website their website, promptly received a phone call to schedule, and their estimator arrived on time, was friendly and knowledgable, the quote was emailed within a couple days, it contained some options with detailed pricing, the work was done within a short time after that. The performance was excellent and I recommend Jim the Handyman for your next home project!

I’ve used Jim the Handyman services occasionally and they’ve always done beautiful work, were on time and very attentive to keeping the work area clean.
Today Jose came to repair my 2 wooden gates that had settled and wouldn’t close or lock. Jose’s skills are carpentry, painting, and stone. His work is impeccable, he was neat, explained why he had to reset my garden gates so they cleared my flagstone walk, and also move my rear gate lock because of settling. He primed & painted and made all work perfectly. I’m so pleased I asked him to return yo address some fence issues, which he suggested 2 options: one seemed more durable than the other and possibly less work. Finally I found a reliable, skilled, and knowledgeable person to repair the carpentry and painting jobs that crop up owning a 240 year old home!
From now on, Jim the Handyman is my
Go-To company for home repairs.

Franco the painter and Jorge the installer of sun block on our sky lights are excellent workers. They both were on time and the work is superb.

Yanling Liu
Jun 13, 2023

My experience with them was a mixed bag. First of all, they give me a detailed fixed price estimate instead of a rough time and material based estimate, which I like very much. Second, they are easy to work with, accommodating my changes to the work list. Third, the work seems been done clean and neat in most places except on my roof. Finally, the reason I give them a 3 star is that they installed a kick-out flashing on my roof by screwing the metal sheet directly on top of my shingles, without applying any sealant. The screws did penetrate the shingles and the insulation flashings underneath, creating two potential leak points on my roof. I don't understand why they do it like that as all other works were done OK to me except this one.

My toddler boys are destroying my house. We needed bifold closet doors repaired, a storm door was off the hinges, and sliding door that wouldn’t close. They have a door expert and he fixed everything in just a couple of hours. He was professional and kind. Absolutely would use their services again. They also probably saved me a thousand bucks because I didn’t know how to repair the storm door, I was thinking I would just have to replace it with a new one. So glad he was able to repair.

We needed rotted fenceposts replaced on our property. Based upon a very positive, past experience with Jim The Handyman, I didn't hesitate to give them a call once again. And once again they didn't disappoint! Leo came to do the work, and I can't say enough good things about Leo's craftsmanship, his professionalism, the quality of his work, and the efficiency with which he completed the project. So if you need fence repair work done, call Jim but ask for Leo!

I am not an easy person to please, particularly when it comes to contractors/home vendors. I am typically disappointed and find a lot of companies do not do what they say they will do. After a recent windstorm my storm door was ripped off and destroyed. I had no prior knowledge of Jim the Handyman and had not used them before. I reluctantly took a chance. I called and a gentleman came over and was pleasant with my wife and was not condescending to her as I was at work. He gave a reasonable quote to replace the door and the work was scheduled for the following week. I even mentioned that we were flexible and if any cancellations came in, we could take the open spot. The did call and we were able to have the door installed a day early. The work done was great and we could not be happier. They did what they said they would do and this is what is most important to me. I would certainly recommend Jim and his team and will rely on them again.

The rake trim wrapping on our soffit panels have pulled off due a big tree branch landing the cable wire. I contacted Jim The Handyman and the process of getting an estimate was hassle-free and so easy. Jorge, the handyman assigned to the project was punctual,polite and finished the job in no time.
I will be using Jim The Handyman for my future projects.

@ Project (1/10/23 to 1/14/23) :

Due to water seepage from shower pan to underneath garage ceiling, Jim The Handyman was contracted to revamp my bathroom and repair garage ceiling. It was a job extremely well done far beyond my high expectations.

Tim’s estimate was clear and transparent with competitive and fair quote. He was responsive and knowledgeable. He invited the lead technician to meet me to confirm the full scope of the project. It was an important first step for successful planning and execution.

Lead technician Isaac with a team of 4 dedicated and skilled members did a fantastic job for 5 consecutive days without a single glitch. By removing old tiles, replacing rotten subfloor plywood, strengthening support beams, building new shower unit, installing bathroom floor tiles, repairing ceiling drywall and fixing ceiling light, the process was highly coordinated and exceptionally effective. Isaac’s leadership and craftsmanship were highly commended and appreciated.

Luke did a thorough inspection for quality assurance. His visit was crucial for the success of the project. I was impressed by his sincerity and enthusiasm for high quality standards.

Overall I strongly recommend Jim The Handyman without reservation. They surely had done an impeccable job.

@ New project (8/8/23-8/9/23) :

Jim The Handyman repaired my bump out sliding door and windows. The team led by Igor was superlative. Milton, Altan and Jesus are professional and dedicated in repairing and painting the bump out above and below the deck. Their work was commendable and highly appreciated. Milton is one of the best in his profession with skills and full commitment to excellence. I strongly recommend their services for similar tasks in the future.

It’s blessed to have two impeccable repair works done by two different teams from Jim The Handyman in less than 7 months.

@ Latest project (9/21/23):

The team of August 8-9 was invited back to repair and paint my rear windows before cold weather. Igor, Milton, Altan and Jesus again did a fantastic job. The team truly deserves my heartfelt recommendation for an A+ service.

I contracted with Jim the Handyman to replace an attic ladder/stair. Installation was a bit tricky as a standard pull-down attic ladder wouldn’t fit. After the original planned replacement ladder turned out to be unavailable, they came up with an alternate solution that worked out great. Gabriel and his helper were very professional and did great work reframing the opening and installing the new stair and trim. I’m very happy with the end result.

We've been using Jim The Handyman for several years and have found them to be reliable, professional, and always stand behind their work. Recently we had some tiling and painting done in our home and the team of Isaac, Carlos, and Jared did a great job, were friendly and easy to talk to, and kept the areas clean. In the past, they have helped us with indoor and outdoor home repairs. We highly recommend them.

Problem with exterior shutters on home. Reattach one and secure other shutters. Contacted Jim The Handyman, scheduled work. Aaron showed up promptly, started work and explained status of other shutters. Secured and checked all shutters. Professional in approach, good communication skills. Definitely pleased with this maintenance and would use and recommend.

We had several sections of water damaged paneling replaced in the basement. From the on-time, knowledgeable estimator, to the scheduler who stayed in touch and alerted us of each upcoming appointment, to the skilled, neat, pleasant carpenter, I could not have been more impressed with this group. They were also half the price of a carpenter I have used in the past. The original estimator stopped by during the job to provide some additional materials and check on progress. We had been warned the paneling could not be matched exactly, I tried myself and could not, and they actually did find an exact match. Mauricio reattached all the old trim pieces around a window and other edges which was like doing a puzzle, I don't know how he did it. My husband had replaced an electrical outlet before the new paneling and it stuck out a little. I called them back, Mauricio came right away, did not charge anything and had an ingenious solution to fix a problem that was our doing. So happy to have found them and look forward to other projects.

We had Jim the Handyman come and take on a number of tasks, including replacing posts that were rotting for our deck, some door repair, dryer duct replacement, cabinet door alignment, and brick motor repair. The primary technicians were Efrain and Neal and they were on time and completed the tasks to our satisfaction. But the added bonus was just how pleasant they were. They were very personable and polite. We will certainly reach out to Jim the Handyman for future tasks.

I needed help with hanging curtains and hired Jim The Handymann. The handyman came and it appears he had no experience hanging curtain rods. They charge by the hour and the handyman worked extremely slowly and still managed to drilled holes in the wrong spot even after I instructed him to measure twice before making holes. He did 65% of the job and left for another job but still wanted to collect payment. Worse, he didn’t repair the holes before leaving or tighten the rod screws. He went back to his car 15 times while on the clock.

I called their office and requested the job be completed and done properly before I make payment. I also asked them send a different handyman that works diligently but they sent the same handyman. This was not a good experience for me. 6.5 hours to hang Curtin rods on 3 standard window and 3 window bay window seems excessive. Quite frankly I felt what transpired was unethical.

I don’t recommend you hire JIm The Handyman but if you decide to give them a chance due to other glowing reviews here I would be cautious and only hire them for fix priced jobs

Hired them to paint my office, there were some issues with the final job. Called Codi and had one of the owners come out supervise the job to fix the issues.

Luke was very calm and professional with my moment of dissatisfaction and disappointment with having them come back and paint my office properly.

I can respect them as stand up and good folks to work with.

Used them to repair rotted wood on an exterior door and replace the seal under the door. They also did some minor repairs to my leaders/gutters. They have a good process in place for estimating work and then scheduling the repairs. Professional handmen showed up to do the work and completed it ontime and per the estimate.

Had a unique lift install in my garage with a drop ceiling. Jim evaluated the job with provided photos and install instructions and returned a detailed quote that showed they actually understood the work. Jim’s crew came out right on time to install and did a great job on the install. They even took the time to go over operation of the lift with me and make sure everything was working properly. They were very professional, efficient and left the work area just like they found it. Highly recommend for any home improvement/repair/installs!

We had a great experience with Jim the Handyman. The process is simple, straightforward and appropriately priced. We were so fortunate to be assigned Henry who was prompt, professional, friendly and he did a great job repairing 17 drywall areas (repair, patch and paint) that were cut out after new lighting installations. I even goofed up and we needed paint picked up, I ordered it and Henry drove to pick it up for us rather than rescheduling or prolonging the job until we got more paint. Highly recommend booking with Carissa or Grace who are kind, responsive, efficient and organized. All around great experience, we're JTH customers for life.

Jim the Handyman has done four recent jobs for me. They hung a new dining room light; painted and installed new fixtures in my powder room; cleaned my dryer vent and installed a new outdoor vent guard; and painted and installed new hardware on my front door. Their work has been great, their office staff has been very responsive, and their prices are fair. Very pleased and will use them again.

For the record.....I have not had any experience with this business. I am, however, looking around on the web right now for this type of service, reading reviews and doing some research before I call anyone. Going over the reviews for Jim The Handyman, I noticed the company ONLY replies to positive (5 star) reviews! Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it? As a perspective customer, I am more interested in seeing how a company handles & addresses negative experiences / reviews. That tells me more about that company than those 5star reviews. With that said, I guess I will continue looking. Thanks to all those who share their experiences, good or bad, and thanks to those companies who show they care about their customers (and not just their 5star ratings) by responding to the less satisfied and do what is needed to maybe turn them to customers satisfied at a 5star level. P.S. I had to choose a star rating or Google wouldn't POST the note.

I contacted this company to remove some kitchen cabinets and dispose a double oven. Originally I was quoted $700 for above described work. On the actual workday, I asked for additional service of removal of granite tile backsplash. Igor and Milton did a wonderful job of taking care of all the work I requested but I was surprised on the $1500 bill I received at the end of the day which included 5 hr of drywall repair charge at the rate of $100/a hour. Igor left the job site early but left an invoice with Milton before he even finished with the work. By the end of the day, Milton told me that he wasn’t done with the work and need to come back for second coat of patching drywall. I proceeded to call their office to schedule for a second visit. On the second visit, Igor called and asked me what I needed done so I told him what Milton told me. I was unaware that Igor had already sent along a second invoice with Milton for the work before he finished the job. I didn’t realize there was additional cost until Milton finished the job hours later. There was a communication breakdown since Igor never told me there would be additional cost over the phone. I had to pay another additional $475 for 4 1/2 hr of drywall & painting plus $30 material fee. Igor ended up overcharged me by half a hour, at $95 a hour it seems excessive for putting on second coat of drywall, sanding and painting.

Gustavo from Jim the Handyman caulked and painted the window sills at my townhouse today. He did a great job! It took him about 90 mins. He was thorough and tidy. It was also a bonus that Gustavo is pleasant. I've used Jim the Handyman for many, many years. The company has transitioned to be for available especially on short notice to take care of those jobs I don't want to do or know how to do. I highly recommend Jim the Handyman.

I used Jim the Handyman to replace the rotten trim and brick molding around the garage door, replacing the wood with PVC. Leo and Rakeem did a fantastic job on the trim, ensuring everything fit and was caulked up properly. Looks great!

I also had Gustavo help install some eye bolts so I can hang string lights over my deck. He was great to work with and was able to accommodate my crazy schedule that day. I hung the lights a few days later and the eye bolts held up very well due to an excellent installation.

I'd definitely hire those gentlemen again.

Horrible customer service. Had to call multiple times to get an appointment scheduled for an estimate. No response and lack of coordination internally. Not sure about their quality of service, but definitely not a good first impression if they can’t get appointments scheduled or have the decency to call back.

Great service. First time & I will definitely use again. Rakeem came, was very courteous & finished the job quickly.

Am writing to let you know that Hendricks has done a great job on our re-installing a curtain rod and installing lever knobs for our doors. He has been knowledgeable and had given us some options. Would hire him through you again.

We've used Jim the Handyman now for several repairs and have always been very pleased with their service and the quality of the people they send to our house. We asked Neil to install a door at the top of the stairs, which he was able to do easily and make it look like it had always been there. Carlos did a great job at painting the door as well. Jeffrey came and installed outdoor lights and repaired our fence gates, and he did such a great job! One one of the gates, the light didn't quite fit (I'd bought it myself, not realizing that might be an issue), and to make it work he actually cut a notch in the gate so it swings past the cowl of the light fixture. Just fantastic craftsmanship!!! We have them coming in the next few weeks to reset some pavers on our patio and to give us an estimate for repairing some brick work around the patio. They are our go-to company for as long as we're in the house. Call them....you won't be sorry!

Jose and Rakeem showed up on time and started on the repair of my front door immediately.
My house was built in 1939 and the solid oak front door had never been touched. It was loose at the hinges, the finish was severely weathered and the old copper weather-stripping was preventing the door from closing completely.
It now looks like it must have looked 80 years ago, which is to say absolutely beautiful. Jose and Rakeem did a wonderful job and would recommend them to anyone. Fair price for a lot of hard work.

Using a fake name so the man I spoke to won't figure out my last name. Had a man come into my workplace wearing a Jim the Handyman shirt. Asked me where I lived and proceeded to tell me where he lives. As a young female, you don't ask somewhere where they live in a workspace and proceed to give me directions to your home. Writing a review because this was a grown man and this man is an employee visiting people's homes. Hope you don't have a daughter.

***Edit 5/6/2021*** After a bit of a rough start during the estimating process, I decided to schedule Jim the Handyman to relevel my patio pavers and repaint/fix an interior wall after removing a large picture frame. The team showed up prepared and ready to go during their scheduled time. The team worked quickly and efficiently to make the necessary repairs, while extending COVID-19 courtesies and safety measures. I would highly recommend Jim the Handyman and will certainly use them again.

Earlier this year we first engaged Jim to repaint a bathroom after invasive plumbing work. This week Jorge constructed a small wood screen in the front yard to hide our trash can, replace and paint rotted wood on the front porch facing, and replace lawn edging along our driveway and adjoining neighbor's front yard. Jorge is at the top of our list for skill, initiative, professionalism, easy to work with, and it was an overall great experience.

We had a large crack in our ceiling that needed to be addressed before we could finish a DIY painting project that we had already started. Our home was in shambles and we needed help fast. Jim the Handyman was able to get someone out to provide an estimate which was extremely reasonable and then they scheduled someone to come out the next day. The work was done magnificently and we were able to get our painting project done that weekend. So thankful for this team!

Setting up an appointment with the company was a breeze, whether it’s via email or phone. Carlos, our assigned handyman, came in on time within our scheduled timeslot and did an excellent job at everything that needed to be done in the house: hanging up pictures and a medicine cabinet, and fixing a broken coffee living room table. Very courteous and a pleasure to work with! 10/10 would recommend him and Jim the Handyman!!

Jim was the 3rd handyman we spoke with. We got 2 quotes that were astronomical in price and I knew what we needed done shouldn't cost what these other contractors were quoting me. Jim The Handyman was the 3rd handyman we reached out. His cost came in 75% cheaper than the other 2 estimates. Naturally this made us a little nervous at first, but nerves quickly went away when we met Jim. He was on time, professional, kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. They squeezed us in to their schedule. Neil was the contractor sent to our house to do the door remodel work. He was on time, personable, & a perfectionist (like me). He did a PERFECT job on our door - I am THRILLED with the finished product! Neil, thank you for being so awesome! Jim, thanks for being an honest and reliable handyman services company! Can't wait to use you again!

Jim was a top notch service from start to finish. Estimator and all 3 techs were on-time, professional and knowledgeable of the work I needed. The jobs were done well beyond my expectations and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. I will use the firm again.

Neal, from Jim the Handyman, did a super job resetting our back storm door. For years I've been messing with it, but now it has been done properly. Thanks, Neal!

I hired Jim The Handyman to screen-in my porch. A very hard-working employee named Henry did the work on a Friday and Saturday. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and an absolute professional. Both my husband and I are thrilled with the work he did. Henry worked all alone during two hot and humid days fitting the framework, painting, affixing the screen, fitting the door and caulking. He was a wonder to watch! The porch looks beautiful making this part of our house enjoyable to use without mosquitos and the worry that our cat will escape when we go out there.

I have hired Jim the Handyman for many work projects. Every time, the work is excellent and the workers professional. This is the biggest project for which I've hired Jim the Handyman, and the experience was outstanding.

I am a very happy customer!

Wonderful!!! A removal and new installation of mirrored closet doors. that can't seem to be done by the so-called professional mirror guys was a piece of cake for this outfit
Fast turn-around on the estimate, and the job was done in a very professional, polite manner after some starts and stops due to Home depot shipping issues from the origin. Regardless, the job prep labor and clean-up were done well and FOR THE ESTIMATED PRICE to the penny. None of that home depot installer malarky about how screwing in a lightbulb will take 4 men 6 days and a thousand more than the estimated cost.
Highly recommend them
As an edit I had the 5 star experience with a job performed by Jorge today installing an outdoor railing on a freshly laid concrete walkway. Best response to my call, scheduling was easy as pie, Jorge came on the spot of time did the job professionally and with care. Oh and the price was reasonable too!

5. How to choose a roofing company?

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
