Hired on Thumbtack

We could not be happier with our experiences with James! He responded very quickly to my inquiry and was able to schedule services right away. He originally was hired for cleaning and fixing our gutters, as this is what my search on thumbtack was for, however after seeing that he provided many other services, and after a few hours of seeing his great work provided, we hired him for MULTIPLE jobs on our home! Projects included: Gutters cleaning + repair + replace Deck French Doors take out and install Painting, dents/hole touch ups Exterior window frame repair Carport garage roof repair Basement plumbing diagnosis and replair Fireplace tile demo and replace Shower, sink, toilet plumbing throughout home and much more! While working on the home, James would provide photo updates (before and after photos), as well as just updates as to how the project was going. James knows what he is doing and definitely wants to provide the best service and outcome for his clients. I asked for recommendations on what else could be done, as it is a home that we rent out, and he did intricate assessments, provided honest advice, and was ready with a solution. He would also give different options and would explain the pros and cons of each option, in turn, we felt comfortable and confident on each project decision. James provides very honest work! Down to the penny! Receipts for all purchases were provided, and he would let me know a very clear item-by-item estimate before buying anything. This was a HUGE help. I was very happy to pay bonuses and extra for the honest and quality work he provided. If I could hire him across states for multiple properties I would. He honestly has been the best person we have hired, especially during this crazy pandemic time, when it is so difficult to find reliable contractors! I 100% recommend hiring James for your home needs.

James helped me last minute get a gutter repaired before the recent storms. James was the only guy I called that actually responded timely and showed up to do the job. The storm (12/11/2021) tore down tree and ripped up roof tiles in my area including on my own house but the gutter James fastened down held. James is a good guy and deserves your business.

Hired on Thumbtack

These guys are great! From their availability to their cost and most importantly their consultation. Very straightforward and provided photos of areas that we could not see in the ground. Walked us through exactly what would be needed and works really well with the elderly. Would recommend his work wholeheartedly to anyone looking for good roofing/gutter repair work at a value.

As a long distance landlord, I was so thrilled with James’ work. Our home experienced tree damage, and James came out same day to repair our gutters. Being a couple thousand miles away, it was a great relief to work with James. He sent a lot of pictures of the affected area before and after he repaired the gutter. He was a thorough communicator, which was amazing since we weren’t there to see the damage ourselves. I only wish I had more work for him to do at the time! I can rest easy knowing who to call now for my home’s well being. :)

James is the absolute best. His replacement quote was right in the middle of the three I got and not much more than a repair quote that I received. I will definitely be going back to him for other projects as they come up.
