  We asked for a ceiling mounted storage device to be installed in our garage as well as for a free standing sink to be swapped out for a larger version. The ceiling mounted storage needed to be assembled and had instructions similar to ikea furniture. He had issues following the instructions and spent the first hour laying the storage mount out on the ground and parsing through the instructions ($95 of time) -- I ended up spending 1.5 hours of my workday helping him assemble. Finished the day by mounting the equipment and making sure it was ready to be hung on the second day. On the second day he hired additional help, which we approved. But he also rented equipment which we had not approved and was hand wavey about the cost, saying it should only be around $40, failing to mention that the second man's time would be up-charged by about an hour and a quarter for what we are assuming was the time to return the rental. Overall we felt there was about $250 in fees that were unnecessary or were not communicated to us. Additionally, he swapped the sink out quickly but left saying it may leak in the future. Overall, was very pricey and he did not want to give firm estimates on cost. Appreciate that the job got done, but would not use again.

  We hired John to hang a large and heavy mirror at our condo. He was incredibly responsive in connecting back with me and showed up right away to do the work. As I had not yet marked where the mirror was to go, he went above and beyond, working out the placement with me and then, SOMEHOW getting it hung on the wall. John even took the time to clean up after. We will definitely use him again and would highly recommend!

  Richard and I are happy to find someone who can tackle many a job to be done around the home. After reading others' reviews we are anxious to have him do more. Thanks for being here, John!

  John is a great community resource— he’s an expert with fixing things and always responsive! Just this morning we woke up to a plumbing issue and he was able to come fix it within a couple of hours.
