Jeff did a super job tackling some projects around my house! Very professional and kind man. Jeff replaced an old and noisy bathroom exhaust fan, fixed a leak under my kitchen sink, repaired a diverter valve in bathroom shower and fixed the door hinge on my French door so it would close and lock properly. He was flexible when I asked about adding one more item to my list and took care of it while he was here. Jeff's prices are reasonable and I would definitely use his services again!!

I've used Jeff twice for unsexy house projects and he is fantastic. On time, on budget, detailed work, and when working over multiple days, he cleans each afternoon so I forget he has been there. Would highly recommend.
