Others that were listed on Yelp were not going to be able to come for two to seven days. We were so pleased to have our sink back in working order in such a short time and for a fair price. It is so nice to deal with kind and honest people.

I can't say enough good things about this company. They've bailed me out of two really bad…read moresituations and did excellent work at a fair price both times. The first time was over a year ago--they came to the rescue and fixed an issue that others couldn't. The second time, my home warranty company sent a contractor who tried to charge thousands for electrical work. Thankfully, I still had their card from the first job, so I called them again. Once more, they came through--doing the job right and within what the home warranty would actually cover. This is an honest company that does great work. The only downside is that they're hard to get a hold of and prioritize jobs based on urgency. But if you can get them to take your job--do it! Totally worth it. (But do me a favor and wait a bit--I've got more work for them: roofing, plumbing... I want to be first in line. )

We are very pleased to have had JP Maintenance come to our home and fix a leaky toilet.

How is that my fault?. And she said it took longer because it hadn't been cleaned in a while. My kids and I have kept up with the housekeeping while I have been recovering from surgery.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! I…read morehired Caleb Pritt of Handyman Home Improvements (formerly The Handyman Can) for a bathroom remodel in August 2022. At first, he was great, dependable, and the work seemed solid. Two weeks later, he was down to the final few things left and said he'd come back the following Monday. Then it turned into Tuesday. And then he had a family emergency which I completely understood and told him to let me know when he was able to return. A few days later, I messaged him to check in and let him know about a leak in our shower he just redid, only to discover that HE BLOCKED ME! He also blocked my husband and blocked my friend after she reached out to him on her account. He totally ghosted and left us with a 90% done remodel plus a new water leak. I looked for other reviews online and found one on here from his former business (The Handyman Can) where he did the exact same thing to someone. I also learned via Facebook that a third person had this happen with him. Please do NOT do business with him or any of his companies!

Last week I found myself broken down on the side of the highway just across the Ohio border into…read moreWV, with an approaching storm rolling in around 7pm. After about an hour of waiting on AAA (with another 30-40 min left to go) and trying to figure it out myself this truck pulls up and offered assistance. He had absolutely no reason to stop, in fact he was on the opposite side of the highway and turned around just to help. He changed my tire, made sure the flat was loaded in the back and checked things out before sending me on my way all while declining any sort of payment. I was blown away. Super nice, a complete life saver and from what I could tell, hands down an all around genuinely good guy. I made it down the road about 10 min before the storm hit. It was perfect timing. I cannot thank you enough.
