Jon the Handyman Can

Jon did work for us and promised to come back and fix things that were messed up and he never did. The laminate flooring which is not suppose to be nailed is nailed in several areas and it is buckling. The front door that they purchased did not fit so they cut it and reworked the frame and it does not close properly. I have to throw my shoulder into it to get out of my home. The thing that bothers me most is promise after promise to come back and fix things, he had all kinds of excuses and has never come. Very sad when you trust someone and they break that trust.

We needed somebody to do the work now. Jon said he could do this and he could do that and he was available. He spent two different days doing jobs we needed, He works quickly but inefficiently. I had to clean up after him as he was really messy. He made promises he didn’t keep. We had to finish the details ourselves. Do you homework on cost of materials. We will not use him again and we cannot recommend him. If you decide to use him, let him do only one job at a time and then decide on further action.

I found Jon The Handy Man Can via Porch.com on 3/22/16, called and left a message for a quote. He called back promptly. After receiving a brief description from me about the lock bolt on the sliding glass door being bent, he explained that it cannot be fixed and that the whole door frame and door has to be replaced. He gave me reasonable quote over the phone. I asked him to come by the house and take a look to make sure. He told me that this is a standard design, one that he has done many times so there's no need for him to come. He told me that if I am still concerned to send him a few pictures, which I did. Again, he assured me that everything is fine and set the date for the coming Sunday 3/27/16 so that the work will not affect his other projects. He called back the next day, 3/24/16, to move the appointment to 3/26/16 because his team does not want to work on the 27th, but that it would have to be at 2pm, again to avoid impacting his other projects. I thought it's strange that he did not want to inspect the job site before giving a quote, and not knowing his team availability before setting a date. But, since he called back on the 26th to let me know that he has already bought the frame and door set and will be there on the 27th for the replacement, I thought nothing else of it.

Did a great job, cleaned while they worked and fair proce
