@ 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.

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!Service: General repairs

Jose of Jimthehandyman did an amazing job of repairing my bathroom drawer. He built a new drawer in 2 hours from scratch at a very reasonable cost. Thank you!

I have used Jim The Handyman for years and they always do a great job!! They are efficient, honest and skilled. They just solved a complex problem for me. For over a year, every few months a mouse was getting in through the back of the house. I worked with a top pest control company and consulted several other home repair companies and in the end it was Jim The Handyman who worked with me to analyze the problem and sent their technicians twice to discuss possible solutions. They were the ONLY ones who were willing to remove the last siding panels to assess my suspicion that somewhere in there was a hole(s). They were right on target about the proposed solution. Three holes were found. They triple sealed the area and now I am not even seeing a single bug. They priced it accurately from the beginning. The siding was not damaged and reinstalled. I am extremely happy with their work. Pics attached of before (I had sealed with foam was a temporary solution) and their work. Thank you for giving me back my peace of mind!Services: General construction, Home maintenance & repairs, General repairs, Repairs & maintenance

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.Services: Interior painting, Drywall repair

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,Ray K.

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.

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 myGo-To company for home repairs.Services: Painting, Fencing repair

I have used Jim The Handyman for several projects in the past couple of years. They are, far and away, the most professional, reliable and reasonable contractors anywhere in NoVa. I will NEVER go elsewhere for any “handyman” project!

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.

Great service! 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!

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!Service: Fencing construction & installation

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.Service: Home maintenance & repairs

Luke came to discuss the sliding door replacement. He was prompt and very clear. Neal - the door specialist - did the installation. He is very skilled and careful. The door - and Neal - are amazing ! This company is affordable, professional AND good. I’ll be back !Service: Remodeling

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.Service: Closet repair
