Review of fiancé's home repair in Laytonsville, MD:
1] Deck needed to be re-stained by rolling a second time because his initial spraying did not suffice. The spindles and rails were never done, because he didn't think it really needed it even after 10+ years of wear and tear.
2] The storm door screen needed full replacement and he tried to get away with just a sloppy repair job which eventually was completely replaced after much cajoling.
3] The storm door hydraulic cylinder took two attempts since he brought the wrong size initially.
4] A small window on the side of the house needed attention, because it was leaking and needed to be sealed and painted. However, he broke the window and it eventually needed to be replaced completely with the framing painted as well. Unfortunately, he was not honest enough to admit in doing so, which required me to report back to him in order to eventually get it done properly.
5] Sidewalk pressure wash was mediocre at best.
NOTE: He was fired from the remainder of the other home repair projects, which required my fiancé to hire another handyman who was much less expensive and did quality work as well. The new handyman had to come back and correct Jim Ness' original mistakes and take over the remaining home repairs! read more
