We had a great experience working with Jeff Borchers. He expertly came up with a plan for solving the humidity problem in our attic and found good and reasonable solutions customized to our house. He completed all aspects of the work, including electrical, drywall, painting and installation work, with great attention to detail and to our full satisfaction. Jeff's pricing was *very reasonable* and transparent; he stuck to his cost estimates. He was clear and reliable with his timelines and was very easy to communicate with. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Jeff and would be very happy to do so again. read more

After seeing Jeff Borchers' repair work on a neighbor's house, I hired Jeff to repair weather-damaged windows on my house. The state of disrepair was worse than I was aware and I feared repair was impossible. Luckily, Jeff has an amazing set of skills and knowledge, so he was able to restore the windows and make them better than new. It wasn't the fastest solution, but Jeff was willing to put in the time and effort when most handymen would go for the quicker whole window replacement that would have cost me 4 times what Jeff charged. I also appreciated Jeff providing advice on what I should do to prevent similar problems down the line. After finishing his work on my house. Jeff was hired by two other neighbors to restore their windows -- good evidence of the quality of his work! read more

I had major moisture/water problems under my house. Jeff took care of the problem and then corrected the issues that caused the problems. He did what he said he would do and didn't leave me hanging. Andy read more

Good luck to his next Victim . read more

I hired Jeff to prepare my subfloor as I was attempting to lay vinyl plank myself but was running into issues with unevenness -- humps and dips in an almost 30 year old house. He's a very knowledgeable guy and I was happy with the results. He also gave me several tips for laying my flooring which has been very helpful. And he came back over when I texted him a question -- turns out nothing was wrong, but he proved his willingness to stand behind his work. read more

Thank You Jeff! You did a wonderful job on the bathroom and kitchen. My wife reminds me daily how much she loves the new rooms. Completely remodeled and renovated with high end fixtures. Everything works perfect and your work added probably 10K to our home value. Should we have more work in our new home, we will definitely call on Jeff. Jeff always returned my calls and I never felt like I was paying too much. VERY reasonable prices! 5 star service done professionally and in a timely manor. read more

Knowledgeable and efficient worker. He Waterproofed the retaining wall that is the back wall of a mechanic shop. He guaranteed his work and hope that there is no need for a return visit but good to know he will. He showed up when and where he said he would. read more

Jeffrey renovated my bath and replaced with a walk in shower. He painted the whole bathroom and I was amazed at the quality of the shower not to mention the quality of his work. I'm very happy with it. I had a separate electrical issue that I called him to fix. He came right over on a Sunday nite. He fixed it! Yay!!! He's gonna be my go to guy from now on! read more

I found Jeffrey Borchers on a local website. he was able to give me a quote over the phone after I texted pictures and described the scope of work. he moved an HVAC unit and installed through the wall. he added another unit to another room through the wall. he did drywall, paint, trim, vinyl siding repaired around the unit, and repaired brick and mortar to the old hole where the unit was removed. he also added a light switch and outlet in my utility room. he asked all the right questions and was careful to observe HOA requirements. he began work within a couple days and had great communication about work arrival times and job completion. I cannot think of anything he could have done any better. my husband was very pleased and is already thinking of the next job he wants to have scheduled. Thank you! read more

Jeffrey W. Borchers of Jeffrey W. Borchers Home-Building Repairs is a con-artist. He tells you all the great work he can do for you, collects your deposit and then he doesn't show up to do the work or he has one lame excuse after another as to why the work isn't being completed. At some point, he just stops showing up or responding to calls and texts and you are out of your money. This man is a total fraud and the word needs to be out about him! He is totally unreliable and dishonest even though he proclaims to be a " Christian man with morals". He is full of horse s--t! Read the complaints on the Better Business Bureau website from customers who have been ripped off by him. read more

I was very nervous about hiring a handyman off of Craigslist. I am so glad I found Jeffrey. He responded to my request (Water heater replacement) immediately, provided a guaranteed quote (very reasonably priced) and arrived promptly when he said he would. The install went smoothly and I even got an upgraded water heater (the exact replacement was unavailable). I have asked him to return to take care of a couple of items on my to-do list. I would highly recommend Jeffery! read more

I found Mr Borchers add on Craigslist. I left a message and he returned my call within an hour. He met me the next day and looked at the home repairs I was requesting. He looked at my repair and made a few suggestions and wrote me a simple and easy to understand quote. Jeffery was not the first person I called but he did give me the most competitive quote for the job. I hired him that day and he began work with a 1/4 deposit for the job. Mr Borchers did reschedule some of the days we was coming, but he was very good about communicating hid reschedule times and never left me "waiting around". Having renovated 4 older homes I know a little about fixing and home repairs. Not once did i feel like Jeffery was trying to con me or up sell me something i didn't need. His finished work was excellent. He kept waste to a minimum, didn't leave a mess behind and took time to explain his finished work , and made suggestions on other improvements I could do as a handy man. As a bonus, he even did a dry wall repair for me while waiting for one of his apprentice workers. I would recommend Jeffery to anyone who wants quality work at a fair price. Mike W read more

BEWARE!!! Jeffrey W Borchers is a scammer! I wish I would have just searched his name online and found the other negative reviews on his services before handing him a $450 cash deposit (I know I was being too trusting!). He has 6 complaints with the Better Business Bureau that outline his unethical "business" practices. They all tell a similar story and mine falls right in with his mode of operation. I contacted Jeffrey from a Craigslist Ad for contractor services to replace siding on the second story of my property. He visited my property on 3/13/15 to provide an estimate. He wrote up an estimate and provided me the bottom copy. He also showed his driver's license which I took a picture of (not even sure if this is his legal identify). I gave him $450 deposit to purchase materials. He was supposed to begin work on 3/20/2015 there was a delay due to weather which seemed legitimate. He texted me later to say that he would show up on Sunday 3/22/2015 at 9am. At 9:09am on that Sunday he texted to say that he got into a car accident and was a little banged up. He said that he would have to delay a few days. At this point I got suspicious, because if he really got into a car accident, even a minor one I wouldn't want him working on my roof which is dangerous and too much liability. I did an internet search and realized instantly that I had been scammed!! I informed him via text message that he is not authorized to preform work on my property and he needs to refund the deposit because work could not be performed as agreed due to his "accident." One month later and I still have not received my deposit. I don't expect to get it without pursuing legal action against him. Based on other account on the BB and Yelp he seems to get into a lot of accidents and other misfortunate events which are used as excuses to why he does not start work or why it is started and delayed over and over. Jeffrey drives a white long bed pick up truck. He claimed to be a native New Yorker, he is a Caucasian male in his mid/late 40's with brown hair with a visible tongue piercing. Do NOT do business with this scammer! So, I learned a $450 lesson and hope others so not have to do the same!! read more

Do NOT EVER use Jeff Borchers for handyman work. Our experience was almost EXACTLY the same as the other reviewer's (Tara R.). I would give him a zero star rating if that were possible, but the lowest I can give is one star. Jeff still owes us a significant sum of money for work not completed and our next step is small claims court. He is a fraud...stay away! read more

ABSOLUTE CON ARTIST PAID OVER $14,000 IN MATERIALS AND LABOR AND JEFFREY BORCHERS WILL NOT SHOW UP TO COMPLETE WORK. OUR HOUSE IS IN SHAMBLES On 9-10-15 we hired Jeffrey Borchers to begin renovations on our home. We were told the entire project would take 3 weeks. The Items Mr. Borchers was to repair were Mold in Crawl space, Renovate Bathroom, Renovate Kitchen, Replace Flat roof over carport and Laundry room. Replace the Shingle roof over the Main house, and repair rotten wood and re-hang the gutters around the exterior of the home. After the first 3 weeks and several "progress" Payments to the point where most of the project was paid for but approximately only half the work was done Mr. Borchers stopped showing up for work. He would blame the Rain constantly even if it were not raining, or when it was raining but work inside the house needed to be done. He left our flat roof torn off and exposed to the elements for 3 weeks straight causing damage to the plywood underneath and to the ceiling of the carport and the laundry room. Every day Mr Borchers says he "will show up tomorrow" and never does. Our house is in shambles, and we are moving in 1 week. We had a renter lined up for when we move but he will not be able to move in because the house is still in pieces. Today we fired Mr. Borchers so we can get another contractor to try and do the work before are renter is scheduled to move in. Looking at the BBB's website and Yelp reviews this seems to be an ongoing problem. Mr Borchers will make you keep writing him paycheck after paycheck until most the job is paid for and then move on to the next project and never finish what he started. read more
