AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always needs "cash"---This should be a red flag in itself. Starts a job--then never comes back to complete. Left us with a half finished repair with promises of returning-then never returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We asked him to look at another home repair we had for an estimate and he managed to further break and completely compromise the repair. DO NOT USE! read more

Jason May and Vaughn have not shown up to complete our job. They took money from us and cashed our final payment check (which we left on the fridge - and which they said they would not take unless they finished the job that day). Instead, we came home to an unfinished job and the check gone and already cashed at our bank. They have not returned calls or come back to complete the job. I hope this review gets their attention. Otherwise, the police report I file will. Right now, they're crooks. I hope there is a good explanation, however, from the other reviews I've seen, I think we just got robbed. read more

These guys are terrific! I had a job I needed done immediately including baseboard molding and they responded like heroes. Can't say enough about Jason and Vaughn in regard to their professionalism and timeliness. The work turned out great. Honest and upfront with pricing too. Give them a shout for any job Big or small - I will surely use them again! read more

Never showed up! I emailed about setting up an appointment and discussed the cost. Then I spoke with Jason on Friday and he said he'd be here Monday at 9:00am. We then confirmed the appointment via text. Never bothered to call, text, or email to cancel. It was a complete waste of my time. read more

I should have seen the warning signs from the beginning, but he really seemed like a nice, genuine person. It all started when he showed up the morning of the job and changed from accepting credit cards and checks to needing cash so he could go out and buy materials. The first day I gave him 50% up front (50% due on completion) and enough for materials. This was the only day he actually put in a full day of work. For the next 6 days, he continued to promise he would show up at such and such a time and either show up late or not at all. Then, after being there for a short amount of time he would leave for "lunch" or similar and never come back. He completed about 50% of the job and after 4 days (8 total) of my project going nowhere i told him it would be better to part ways. He then demanded I pay him another 25% of the project fee and he was "done with me." read more

Did not get back to me about a small repair I had to follow up twice. I'm a local professional who will not recommend him to others for any service. Very unprofessional read more

Shocked by the negativity on Yelp. Jason was a great find - not only did he make the repair that we scheduled him for, but another that popped up the day of his arrival. Great service, great pricing! read more

I had some window trim that was rotted around our front bay window and in the beginning very responsive, came out, took a look at the window and made a recommendation on filling in the rotted wood with a wood filler. I advised I did not want the rotted wood filled in and that I wanted it all replaced. I advised that my association would paint, all we needed was the wood replaced in full. Asked for the price and was told that it would cost $500-$600 to replace ALL the wood. He came out very promptly, but what was originally replacing all the wood when he was finished resulted in a full board (the worst board) being filled in with a wood filler - another board being cut in half and installed not flush with the remaining top half and gaps in caulking. Both my husband and myself expressed concern about the board being filled in and he assured us that it would look nice when he was finished but if we had any issues to let him know. Shame on me for not enforcing in the moment the agreed upon arrangement and making him redo it. I trusted that everything would be okay and if it wasn't he would make good on it. Fast forward a few weeks later, the board that was fully rotted is still mushy and the association advised us that the board cut in half diminished the curb appeal of the home and quite frankly just looked poorly done. I reached out via text 3 times over the course of a week and did not receive any responses back. Now I need to pay someone else to take out the rotted wood that I had asked to be taken out in the first place and have the entire trim painted myself because the association has already completed their trim painting in my area. So what should have been $500-$600 to replace ALL the wood is now turning into a much larger undertaking for me than should have been. I'm a fair person, I give people the benefit of the doubt, and I even trusted him when the work he completed was not to our original arrangement that it would look great when it was done (which it does not). Don't make the mistake I did - if someone doesn't complete the work to your liking don't pay them until it's done the way you agreed in the beginning. read more

I am thrilled to have found JJ&S. I needed a water filter system installed under my sink, light bulb installed in a very tricky location and screen door fixed so it will actually close properly. Jason worked his magic as he moved through each item on my list. I never expected everything to be completed so quickly. Jason totally exceeded my exceptions. Honest, reliable, highly skilled and it fit my budget. read more

This was the worst contractor experience of my life and resulted in Jason threatening to meet me somewhere to fight.... I found him online and called to get some exterior screens replaced, an exterior railing installed, and some siding repairs. He came out on February 17th and looked at what I needed. When he left he told me he would get back to me in a day or two. On February 21st, I hadn't heard from him and reached out to ask him for the prices. He told me he was swamped and that he would get them to me. On February 26th, he sent me a quote. I responded and said, "Got it. When can you schedule the work? Next Thursday (March 2nd) would be awesome". Jason responded, "I'll put you in for 9 am". Then I found out the price he quoted did not include materials. He told me he would send a second quote for materials and never did. Then he no showed on Thursday March 2nd, and a tenant had taken off work to be there. When I asked him about it, he told me he never heard from me and that he needed a signed quote and a deposit for materials, which he never asked for prior to. Now three weeks into the process of trying to get the work done I asked him to give me a call but he never responded. The next day, March 4th, I reached out again and asked him to contact me which he did and this is where things got crazy. When he called we discussed a new date, March 8th. I asked Jason what type of railing he was going to install as I preferred steel. I asked if had ordered it yet and he said no. Not understanding how he was going to install a custom steel railing in four days; that hadn't been ordered yet. When I asked him this, he told me he would just get a steel railing and trim it down. This didn't make sense either as I have never seen a custom steel railing that could be trimmed. When I told him I didn't understand what kind of railing he was going to install and that he wasn't giving me much to go off of, he got an attitude and laughed. Having put up with his circus for three weeks and not being any closer to getting the job completed, I finally told him, "forget it, I'll find someone else". He laughed and said "good luck". This is where it gets really crazy. Jason immediately called me back screaming what the f*** is your problem mother f***er! I shouted over him and told him not to contact me again or I would have him charged and hung up. He called me again and I ignored his call. Then he began sending me text messages telling me that his "brother in law is chief of state police" and "I'll meet you wherever if want tough guy". This guy is unorganized and completely unprofessional. He doesn't get back to you, he sends quotes that don't include full pricing, and he blames you for delays, and then threatens you if you don't hire him to do the work. STAY AWAY from this guy! Check his Facebook page. Apparently I'm not the only customer that has experienced his hostility. Another customer refers to him losing his temper and states "not a person you feel safe with in your home". read more

I have so much positive feedback about JJ&S Handyman Services. I just recently bought a condo and I needed major work done to one of the bathrooms. Jason was referred to me by a co-worker to do the plumbing and electrical work. When I went over my plans with him he wound up being able to do everything I needed!!! Which not only saved me time, money and agrivation, but he made this already hectic situation of mine so much less stressful! He was neat, professional and honest with me. He's a really good guy, who does really good work for a really good price. You will not be disappointed with his services. read more

Very professional shows up on time did excellent work I've used it multiple times I highly recommend him

Overall, I was satisfied with the work done & the communication while the work was happening. I was disappointed by the label put on me because of the owner's past experiences with other out of state landlords & found this unprofessional. Please just simply state your payment policy without the assumption. Not all of us out of state landlords are the same & this one takes paying his vendors seriously. It also seemed this assumption impacted quality communication with quoting the job. I hope this was not the case. Again, the work done was top quality & I appreciated that. Thank you for this. read more

DO NOT USE! What started off as timely, efficient communication turned into the worst contractor experience I have ever had. I had requested service to remove a shower stall and in its place build a closet. I also asked for the bathroom to be painted and 2 storm doors to be installed. Easy enough for someone who claims to be a handyman, right? Think again. Jason came on a Tuesday to review my request and take measurements and write up a proposal. By that night I had a quote and confirmation that work could be done on Thursday and Friday "2 days to be safe". He was to start 8:30 am Thursday. He was late and then when he did arrive, he sat at my curb for another 15 mins on his phone before even coming to my door. He came inside finally and discussed the work to be done and yet again started walking around taking measurements. (Odd, right? He already took measurements 2 days prior) He said I had to pay 50% deposit up front so that he can go buy materials. I paid half of the quote and was told Id get money back if less or pay more if materials cost more. He said that he'd only be able to do some of the work that day since his assistant backed out on him. But rest assured, he could at least do the storm doors and prep work for the bathroom and then he'd have more help tomorrow. He then took my deposit check and left before 9:30 am to go buy supplies. I had an odd feeling after he left so I checked my bank account and sure enough within 10 mins of leaving he had already cashed my check. After 2 hours and no sign of him at 11:30 am, I was just about to contact him to find out when he was coming back when he emailed. He said he had a problem at one Home Depot as they didnt have what he wanted and he was running to another one and then he'll be over. At close to 12:30 pm he was back with supplies. "Home Depot didnt have what I wanted so I had to go to 3 Home Depots" Again, odd right? You were buying dry wall and paint, how did 3 of them not have the most basic of supplies? Something was off, so, I asked him if he was actually going to do any of the work today OR if he had to wait for the other guy to come Friday to do the work. He didnt like being questioned. He said he is going to do the work and then said let me go get the rest of the supplies. I said thats fine but I need to know what is actually going to be accomplished today since its now 4 hours after your original starting time and nothing has happened yet. I said are you relying on the other guy to do the bulk of the work? He said they are both able to do the job so then again I asked what he planned on accomplishing today. He didnt truly answer but went outside got his ladder and one small tool box. Odd again, right? Youre demo'ing a full shower and you only have some screw drivers and a hammer and a ladder? He shut the bathroom door and I heard him moving things around. So, I knocked on the bathroom door to again confirm what was going to be done that day. He had a paintbrush in his hand with some paint on it but didnt paint anything. I looked confused and said, so youre painting before demo? I need you to confirm for me what youre doing here before you continue any further. He said "can you just give me a minute?" and shut the door. He shut MY bathroom door on ME! I checked in again and said, were done here, I need you to give me the receipts to the supplies I bought and you to leave. He handed me one receipt for half the supplies (bought on credit, not even with my money from the check he cashed, so where did my cash go?) and then said he had to go to his truck for the other one. He was playing on his phone and making phone calls for a long time so I decided to meet him at his truck. I asked for the money back that he owed me AND the receipts to total up to what I gave him. He said he didnt have it all and when I asked why, he stated that he put gas in his truck with MY money! I said I wanted him to gather all the supplies he bought, Id give him back the receipts, he owes me the remainder of my money and he can take the supplies back himself. He said that he cant give it all back to me because I "owed him for his time". I said for what, you didnt do anything today but shop! He said "Im not going to argue with you". He handed me the leftover cash, collected all the supplies and left. His "business partner" called me to see how he can make it right and when I explained it all he then blamed ME for asking Jason to leave and said that I didnt give him enough time to do any work! Can you believe that?! I am still owed a $150 refund and have called time and time again with no reply. Again ... DO NOT USE JJ&S! He is a fraud of a handyman and a fraud of a businessman. #FRAUD read more

Would NOT recommend this service. Showed up when we first requested an estimate but then took 3 weeks to get back to us while intermittently promising , "I'll send you a quote tonight". Finally made an appointment for the work; still didn't give us a quote. Showed up an hour late for the job, had to remind him we still weren't provided with a price. We felt the price was a little high, tried to discuss it with him and he lost it and went into a rage about how we were "aggravating" him! Struck us as very unprofessional with no business or people skills. Had to tell him to leave. Crazy! read more

We had a lot of to-do's on our list and they were all taken care of by Jason in a thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, quick, affordable manner. He was readily accessible by texting which is very important in today's busy world. I refer his services to everyone that needs a handyman. We will definitely be using the services of JJ&S Handyman again and again. If Jason can do it... we are using him! read more
