Jim is excellent! He is efficient and super friendly! He was able to come day of, outside his normal work time, for an emergency that we were having. Our living room, dining room, and front hallway lights were not working. After attempting to vacuum the day before, we hear a loud pop and the vacuum stopped working along with the lights. He troubleshooted for about 45 minutes before finding the cause of the issue. He had gone through every outlet on the circuit from where we believed it could be before trying out the light switch in the front hallway. Who would have guessed the issue stemmed from there! The wire inside had melted/snapped. He pointed out evidence of how this has been repaired before but incorrectly and with materials that are not safe/are a hazard. He also pointed out how the melted wire had actually melted into the neighboring wired switch (which was still working for our porch light). We literally would have had an electrical fire - again - had he not discovered the issue and fixed it. An electrician would have taken two weeks. He explained to us everything he was doing throughout his stay which was great as we were learning more. He also fixed other issues that were found including replacing a burnt breaker and cleaning out some previously burnt areas within some outlets. Would highly recommend him to everyone! Excellent service with a great smile! This is also a late review, service was done on 2/12/2018. read more

Jim works well but didn't like the commute to WC so refused to answer my many calls to just say no thanks. That is very rude. I feel he is not professional This review was meant for another "Jim" this man was responsible but made a bad call on making a soundproof booth that drove up the price and had a very bad door. read more

JIM is our "go to" guy. He has helped us out in the past with plumbing needs and today he installed a new water heater for us in just 2 hrs. He is quick to respond to email, text and calls in the evening and always has arrived at the job on time, prepared and ready to work. Jim is personable, orofessional and reliable. read more

our AC broke down and Jim was working at 100 degrees outside. turns out the condenser needs to be replaced. Jim stayed here for an hour and didnt even charge us. Thanks Jim! read more

I am so glad to have found Jim. He has really helped me to fix things from large to small to get my new home in order. He helped mount the TV, change out all the door knobs, mount shelves and whiteboards and clothing hooks, the works. I am planning to ask him to help with some kitchen lighting and bathroom remodeling as well. Love his attitude, his friendliness, and overall helpfulness. Ask Jim to Fix It! Really! read more

Jim is a lifesaver! I don't think there's a room in my house that he hasn't worked on, and he's bailed me out on numerous occasions with emergency visits (I need my own episode of This Old House" it seems). I had him wire for a new fridge and he ended up snaking through a dusty attic to pull the electrical lines through. He has taken time away from his young family to jackhammer through concrete on a Sunday to find a water leak under my fridge. I sure don't know who else I could have called to tackle that one! His overall hourly rate is high, but you really get what you pay for with Jim, and he's fast, skilled, and super knowledgable about so many repairs. There hasn't been one thing I have asked of him that he hasn't know how to do, or been willing to do. He's also very sweet with my dog, and I appreciate that a lot. I could hire someone less expensive, but I trust Jim exclusively to do great repairs for me and give me solid advice on home improvement., which I truly know less than zero about. He's busy and can book out a few weeks in advance, because he does great work and he's so trustworthy. Get on his list for challenging repairs or installations and you won't be disappointed. read more

Called Jim last Friday for an electrical problem. He scheduled an appointment to come by that evening. He no showed and didn't even have the courtesy call. I was without power in half my house the whole weekend. Today a very nice handyman came and fixed the problem. Bad way to do business. read more

Really appreciate Jim's honesty. Light bulb went out in the garage. Changed one but still not working. Jim came and found out that I just had 2 bad light bulbs. Didn't charge me a cent. Very nice. Guess who I'm going to call next time when I need work done around the house... read more

It took Jim no longer than a day to get back to my messages- for the most part, and it's nothing that 6 ceiling fans and a TV can't wait for. He confirmed our appointment 2 days prior to the initial work day and arrived at 12pm, ON THE DOT, as scheduled. He took a quick tour of the house to see where the ceiling fans and TV will be installed/ mounted, and got to work immediately. He had all the tools he needed and even threw in some freebie screw-in things to mount our 65" TV over the fireplace (there were no studs behind, so needed additional support), and I thought it was pretty generous of him. The project took 4 hours total, which includes- removing 5 old and rusty ceiling fans and mounting 6 new ones (two 60", one 52", three 42"), and mounting a 65" TV over the fireplace. Jim only charged us for 3 1/2 hours ($120 per hour X 3.5= $420). He also adjusted our non-functioning front light and now it works fine. Once done, we were already discussing about future projects! We will be scheduling with him again shortly. read more

See all

My experience with Jim was a blessing in disguise. I had Home Depot deliver and install some appliances, which included a dishwasher. Well HD wasn't able to find the valves (behind a removable board underneath my sink) so they suggested that I call a handyman to do it. I reached out to a few people and Jim was the first one to respond AND was able to come over in just 2 days. He ended up installing the dishwasher which was harder than normal since the contractors who built my condo put in the dishwasher and then placed some extra thick tile in front so it made it almost impossible for Jim to get the old one out BUT, he did it! He has a great attitude and had suggested that I get my rusty disposal replaced (I wouldn't have noticed). Needless to say he is a trustworthy and good guy and I will be calling him to get a few things done around my home. read more

I sent Jim a message through Yelp about a pendant light that I was having problems with. He made a suggestion as to what the problem was, and I was able to fix it myself. Turned out to be a very simple fix. Thank you!! read more

Jim has become my go-to guy since the first time I had him fix something for me in July. Since then I've had him at my rental property a couple times and at my home at least 4 times. He's helped with various projects such as bathroom and kitchen faucet replacements, shed base, new light fixtures, electrical outlets, new doors, new kitchen shelves, etc. I am happy to be getting a few things off my wish list. I am also very grateful I have found someone reliable who does great work. Even when he's booked a week or so out it is with the wait!! I look forward to having him do more work for me soon. read more

I had a very small but nit-picky job involving the repair of some holes in thin mobile home paneling. Jim arrived before our appointment (he had told me he might, but of course I doubted it) and cheerily recommended a fix that hadn't occurred to me. I agreed with his idea and he ran to the hardware store, bought what he needed, returned, and less than half an hour later he was done. Perfect job done in no time at all, and when my wife asked how much it cost she couldn't believe the price. If you need a project done right, on time, and under budget, Jim's your guy! read more

Before you even think about someone else to fix whatever problem you have, call Jim. He is the most fair, honest handyman around. Now the word "handyman" may not make you think he can fix your problem, I can assure you I feel he can repair or build anything. I definitely will call him for any problem I have. When you call him it will take a couple hours for him to get back to you but he will call back Thanks Dave read more

I just want to let the community know that Jim was responsive, reasonable And prompt. I called him on New Year's Day and I did not expect someone to answer and then he came over within 2 hours. I did not expect that. He came over and resolved what look like a big problem within 30 minutes. He was very friendly and I will use him again. Apparently he has more skills than just electrical. Five stars plus from me. read more

Jim helped us with new water and gas hookups for our new appliances, with only a day or two notice. He was easy to work with, friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend! read more

It really doesn't get much better than Jim. No joking! He does superb work and ALWAYS shows up on time. I've had him replace old water valves and most recently he put in a ceiling fan for me. I totally trust him with anything home related. Aside from the clean work, he never leaves a mess to clean up and only does what needs to be done! No upcharges and NO BS!! Best of all, he charges very fair and reasonable hourly rates. If I can't fix it myself, I will continue to call on Jim! read more

Jim was great. Called him to install a new kitchen garbage disposal for us. He was able to come within a few days and had the job done in less than an hour and was VERY reasonably priced. He was VERY kind, polite, and a local, family man. He was also very knowledgable! He even looked around the kitchen and gave advice on a few things that haven't been working right for a long time, but I've just come to live with. On his way out, he noticed our front door was sticking (something else we've just gotten used too), and he fixed that!! He did it just out of kindness and because that's what he LIKES to do! I was SO thankful. I will certainly be calling Jim again for any fix-it needs! I may even call him to just come have a look around the house and fix up whatever he finds! Professional and kind, and quick! What more can you ask for? I highly recommend Jim!! Oh and I found it great that Jim takes calls in the evenings. He working during the day and is very busy, so he takes calls and does scheduling at night. I think that's amazing that he will take out time with his family to make sure he gets back to you. Great service. read more

What I love about Jim? He's a kind and honest man who knows his trade. I highly recommend his services.

Professional and highly recommended. I had a number of jobs that required plumbing, electrical and door replacement which went above my skill levels. Jim came right on time and knew right away what to do for each. Jim and his helper worked hard the entire time and resolved everything that I had issues with. My house is older so you tend to run into issues from former remodels and foundation settling but none of that phased him. Won't hesitate to use him again. read more

May 22, 2015 ASK JIM TO FIX IT, Jim Schnider is a general contractor and I asked him to help me install a new gas cooktop and replaced a hose on my kitchen sink. I don't remember how I got his name and phone number on my contact, but I called to introduce myself. There are four contractors, including Jim that I spoke to but he is the contractor I decided to stay with. It is a pleasure to have him handle my requests, a pleasant and friendly man. He also has a sense of humor and his rate is very well affordable. I will remember him if I need his help again, most definitely. P.S. It was great to communicate with him by email as well, very convenience. read more

Thank you so much Jim for the awesome and timely work you did installing my ceiling fan and giving me some other fix-it advise. So glad I found you! I will be using your service again. read more

I had a situation where everything in the garage were totally out but the rest of the house were fine. I checked everything and could not figure this out. I called Jim and I believed that it was him answering the call. Instead of coming over and charged me money for something probably simple, he told me what to look for. and he was right. It turned out to be a simple CFGI outlet got tripped. Jim is a good guy. thanks Jim read more

Did not show up when he was scheduled to come, then did not call or email me back when I tried to reschedule.

Jim found a fast and easy solution to several of my plumbing problems. He fixed a running toilet and a stuck faucet. Others were quick to suggest replacing fixtures and that can become expensive. Jim takes the old-fashioned approach so rare these days to investigate and fix the problem rather then immediately replace! I trust his opinion on maintaining my old 1950s house. read more

This guy is great!! Super nice, fast appointment time, showed up early, worked quickly and gave me some good advice. I know who I'll recommend when peeps ask me for a great handyman. (Should be known that he did multiple jobs in one appointment and did fantastic work) read more

We had a leak in a water pipe below our slab foundation. Jim came and fixed it in a matter of a few hours. He had to take up a portion of our wood floor, jackhammer through the floor, fix the pipe, re-cement the floor base, and re-install the wood floor. He did it in less than 4 hours total, saving us A LOT of money from another quote we received from a leak detection company. He left everything spotless, and has a great attitude. We have already scheduled him to come back to do some other "fix-it" jobs we've been putting off for awhile. He can fix anything! read more

Jim arrived on time and ready to work. I had asked him to install a new range hood and fix a broken outdoor faucet. He had everything he needed to do both jobs in his awesome truck, which is like a rolling Home Depot. Nicest guy ever. He finished both jobs quickly, and then helped me figure out what it would take to do some other tasks. He took the dogs and the wasps in stride. I have already booked him for additional work. read more

Jim is a fair man with lots of knowledge and experience. He installed 2 security doors and a sensor light for me. He's a man of many trades ! He's yet to install my surveillance cameras ( mount and run cables) with a upcoming appointment . I also asked out of curiosity if he can handle a sewer lateral project and yes he does that too lol.. "Ask Jim to fix it" Is his slogan and for sure he lives by that.. read more

Jim is great! He came by the house early the day of our appointment and fixed a stubborn sprinkler issue in the front yard in no time! Two other people had attempted and failed to fix it in the past. Jim even had the consideration to not even wake me...and just let me know later via text that it was fixed and good to go. I'll be recommending him to all my friends and family. Thanks, Jim! read more

I needed to get my house ready for the rental market and needed some light electrical work (replacing broken dimmer switches), slow drains unplugged, laundry lint vent reattached, some light mold under the kitchen sink cleaned up and water damage repaired, and sink fixtures resealed. Jim charged per the hour, worked efficiently, and did a great job, especially fixing all the problems with the kitchen sink. If I need handy man work in the future -- I will definitely call him again. read more
