Jesse did my bathroom remodel and I am extremely happy with the results.

Jesse is a hard worker and pays attention to every detail. He communicated throughout the entire process and made sure each step was done perfectly. I had a vision for my bathroom that he was able to implement just as I imagined. I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a remodel or any handyman job.

Jesse installed cabinetry, floating shelves, trim work, and did patch and paint work in my home. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially when it came to my shelving in a very difficult space. All work was done to my satisfaction and communication from him was excellent. I would definitely recommend his services to others and will continue to use him in the future.

Jesse and Chris worked on our bathroom gut rehab. We found their quality to be top notch; Jesse was not finished until the details were perfect. We appreciated J's links to countertops/cabinets, and overall ideas about the renovation. The bathroom turned out great, and my kids are already enjoying lots of time in their shower. Shop around, but I think you'll see, that Jesse puts in the care you want when you are selecting a contractor for your space.

We really enjoyed working with J and his apprentice Ritchie. They repainted our shutters & front door, installed a new storm door and made new trim around our front door. Everything turned out beautifully! J actually suggested painting our front door to match the shutters and we’re so glad we listened to him! He and Ritchie were great to work with, really kind, knowledgeable and patient. Highly recommend using him for any remodeling/sprucing up needs!

Jesse and his team removed a broken attic ladder and installed a new one. They got out to my house super fast. Even though they hit some wild cards installing the new one, they worked through the issues and didn’t add cost. They did high quality work, kept me in the loop, and left the place clean. I’d hire them again.

Had a leak coming from our shower because of tile work done by the previous owner. Called J's Handyman Services and Jesse was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with several options. Reasonable pricing and it only took 1 day of work to redo the tilework and looks fantastic. No more leaks! Will for sure be using J's Handyman Services for future updates and remodels at our home. Thank you Jesse!

I had a great experience with J’s Handyman Services for a plumbing repair. They updated the knob on my guest shower to a more modern, universal style and did an excellent job. They were on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. The work was done efficiently and professionally, and the overall experience was smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely recommend them and will be using them again for future projects.
