I have used Jim many times for a wide variety of repairs and services. There are not enough good things I can say about him. He has rebuilt my wood gate, done plumbing repairs, drywall, and many small repairs including sewing to fix my blinds. My list was long and wide. Jim did it in no time and was always on time. I highly recommend him and with his affordable rates will continue to use him for all my handyman and installation needs.

Attention to detail is fantastic! Jim really knows construction. Its with that knowledge that he gets things fixed the right way, the first time! He is very efficient and reliable and his focus on the job at hand is awesome. He won't leave until it gets done! I would definitely recommend "Jim Was Here".

"I was recently faced with the challenge of getting my old home ready for sale. Jim installed new sinks, installed new light fixtures, fixed leaks in the shower, and patched up holes in my walls caused by a faulty window covering installation. If you're faced with home improvement or repair tasks, and don't have the time or the ability to deal with it, I would give Jim Was Here my highest recommendation."

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. You can check out any licensed contractor in the state of California at, http://www.cslb.ca.gov/
There you can click on the 'Instant License Check" Button and type in the number that you want to check.
Ours is 774034
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. The two big questions that need to ALWAYS be asked are; Are you licensed to perform this trade? And, are you insured if something should go wrong?
And always look up their license number through the state website; www.cslb.ca.gov
If they are not within that database then they cannot ask you for more than $500.00 at the end of the job, including materials!
Also, about insurance. If that person should injury themselves performing work for you at your residence, YOU are responsible for their safety. So, please make certain that they have some credentials and that they are insured.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. We like hearing from new customers which have been told about our services through a prersent customer. We love 'Word of mouth' advertising. It keeps our costs low, and keeps your charges low.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Can you (fix, repair, replace) ............?
Yes, I can!
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. Was in a turn of the last century home (1910) upgrading the entire electrical system. We installed a new Main Service Panel and mast, ran all new 12ga. Romex wiring to all new outlets and light switches.
While in the wall of the stairway, installing a new single gang box for a four way light switch, I found an 1907 Indian Head penny sitting on a fireblock, under a heavy layer of dust.
Took a picture of the penny and the location, then placed the penny back onto its resting spot, closed the wall up and patched the hole. The light worked!
Coolest thing I have ever found in a wall cavity that had intentionally been left for someone (me) to find at a future date.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. A quick word of advice here. I have been fixing housing since I was around 6. That is when I can remember back to being on a jobsite with my father and grandfather. Over the years I have had the unique opportunity to see the one correct way to manufacture or install an item or component. I also have gained valuable knowledge by seeing the hundred plus ways to do the same job wrong!
So if you are planning to embark on a project, and you yourself are not the best person for the job - either hire the appropriate person for the job (check their credentials) or get a hold of the necessary information and spend your time educating yourself. Regardless of your method, get it completed correctly.
