The storm door for my front door was not closing all the way. I called Chris and he was kind enough to try and have me fix it over the phone to save me money. However, nothing worked so he came the next day and brought a new hydraulic brake for the storm door. Chris tried hard to not have to replace the existing brake, but in the end, it had to be replaced. I can't say enough good things about Chris. He genuinely wants to help you without having you spend a lot of money. I really appreciate that. It's rare to find someone who would rather help you for free over the phone than to have you spend money if possible. That speaks volumes about Chris. He is very knowledgeable about the structure of your home being a contractor. He is highly skilled, very friendly and very reasonable. I would not hesitate to use Chris again and again for all my handyman needs. He is reliable, on time and will try to save you money whenever he can. I highly recommend Chris for any handyman work. He'll get the job done right at a great price. read more

I recently hired this company to come out and take care of a few small jobs around my house. I dealt with the owner, Chris, and he was awesome! There were a couple items on the list that provided a bit of a challenge for him because they were finicky, but he persevered and took care of everything with a great attitude and expertise. If you are looking for a company to help you with a couple items on your to do list, definitely give them a call. Chris was professional and knowledgeable, but also incredibly friendly and pleasant to work with. I will absolutely be using this company again for all of my handyman and small job related needs at my primary residence, as well as my rental property. The best part is, it's always great to support a locally owned small business! read more

Chris was great and easy to coordinate with for work on our rental unit. Never met him face to face but he was a great communicator with text and calls. Sent before and after photos of all the work, let when he was entering and leaving the job. read more

Not sure why, but this guy seems to have decided not to communicate with us. Found him last year here on Yelp, contacted him through Yelp, got an almost instantaneous reply, and the next day he came over to give an estimate for the job we'd requested (repairing slats in our fence). Very nice interaction, we had a very happy, friendly chat, he said he'd get back to me. But he never did. I messaged him on Yelp, I texted him (we had each others' numbers because we'd already exchanged texts when scheduling the original appointment), I called, I texted him again, three more times, I called again, I even emailed him. No reply to anything. Not a word from him, ever. It's been about a year now, and I still have all those texts, and emails, and the phone calls, too, (my cell records automatically) which, when I get irritated over this incident, I imagine myself using as "evidence" (lol "Seeee?!? I even called you! And I left you messages! Here's proof!" - which of course I will never actually *do* I just *imagine* being that vengeful lol). Anyway - you get the picture. This guy, for some reason I guess I will never know, just decided that there is either something about our house (which he said is directly across the street from his house - he says our back yards face each other,) or something about me, that he doesn't like. It looks like he's getting lots of good reviews here, so I felt it important to relay this story. He might be good, sometimes, but buyer beware! He's also a weirdo. read more

Fantastic. Excellent work, always on time, great assistance, good insight into increasing both the value of the work and aesthetics and overall just a good guy to be around. This is my official go to guy. I'm not joking. I've always wanted a reliable and trustworthy handyman that can do it all and small jobs contractor is the one. I'm kind of bitter because by putting out this review, then more people are going to try to procure his services and then he'll be less available for me. But, that's just being greedy. So let me spread the word and let you know that this is the best handyman to handle all of the smaller scale renovation that you want for your house. read more

I'm updating my review since we found Small Jobs on Yelp many months ago! The owner, Chris, is seriously one of the best finds. When I moved to MD my dad was upset that he wouldn't be close enough to help with house projects and that I'd get cheated or charged ridiculously prices to get stuff done around the house. My dad passed away last year and it makes finding Chris all the more amazing. We've used Small Jobs for two other house issues. We had outlets stop working in the master bathroom and then the guest bathroom back in January and he stopped over and fixed them very quickly. He wouldn't accept any money and just told my husband to call him when we had a big project! They don't make customer service like this anymore. Then yesterday we called about a broken garbage disposal and he squeezed us in on the SAME DAY! He fixed it in about 30 seconds and was in his way. Again he wouldn't charge us but I refused to let him not accept anything. Chris is the best handyman around! He's friendly, very helpful, and his customer service is unlike anything you'll find around here. Thanks again!! I found Chris via Yelp and the fantastic reviews! He switched out a chandelier for our kitchen that I've been dying to have changed! He was everything the reviews said and more! He's extremely friendly and very knowledgeable! His pricing is really reasonable too! He took time to explain things. (My husband and I attempted to replace it ourselves, but chickened out last minute) Chris was able to fit us in pretty quickly which was great! I highly recommend Small Jobs for any home improvement! read more

I hesitate to leave my review because Chris and his guys at Small Jobs are so amazing that I'm afraid he will get too busy to do anymore work for me. Selfishness aside, Chris is a rare find: a talented and knowledgeable licensed contractor who does small job work. He and his men are courteous, kind, and trustworthy. Chris is incredibly responsive and professional. He has done a lot of work in our house, and all of it was fantastic. I will absolutely contact him again for future work. read more

This is not a review of Small Job Contractor's services....It's a review of the owner Chris' care and customer service toward someone he did not know. I am a first time homebuyer and recently had a home inspection done, and there were quite a few findings. I found Chris on yelp and called and left a message to see if he could take a look at the report and give me some cost estimates to get things up to par. I had to leave a message for him because he wasn't available at the moment. I was in the process of discussing repair requests with my realtor when Chris called, so I couldn't get to the phone. When I called back I had been quite emotional and crying, because this home buying process has been very overwhelming and draining for me. He went into immediate consoling and inspiration mode....like a dad getting his daughter to get over the heartbreak of her first crush. :-) He was very helpful and I appreciate everything that he shared with me. Whenever I get to the point of being an actual homeowner, there will only be one person that I will call for repairs around the home. HANDS DOWN, it will be Chris...Thank you sir...You're awesome. read more

Chris is a consummate professional his workmanship and his gregarious demeanor are without equal. I will recommend Chris to my family and friends read more

Ever since I moved to Anne Arundel County, Chris has been my go-to guy for just about anything around the house I need done - from drywall and paint to plumbing, and even once rebuilding an entire wooden gate. Hire him; you won't be disapointed! read more

Great and honest service! Also recommends and lends valuable knowledge about any other issue you have, which is very rare! You can tell that Chris cares about the costumer and places them above the mighty dollar! I was impressed he even went to Lowes and purchased part and charge me cost only! This is definitely the guy you want coming into your home to get work done! read more

Chris was absolutely amazing!! He mounted my 49" TV above my fireplace, with no effort (even tho the studs were not properly placed for the job). He was friendly and truly cares about his customers. He explained the process, my options, and even gave me several cheaper options so that I could decide what best fits my needs. He's hands down the go to guy for this! read more

We had Chris repair drywall that was damaged by a leaking ice maker supply line and the subsequent plumber's repair work. Chris did excellent work with great attention to detail. Moreover, communications with him were easy (via text and web) and he was responsive, getting us an estimate and getting us scheduled quickly. And he showed up on time, both days. Not every contractor we've worked with does that. A pleasure to work with and would definitely recommend. read more

Chris is AMAZING! He's fast, professional, and does a great job! I highly recommend him to anyone! He's also dog approved. :)

I can't possibly provide a better recommendation than for Chris. He has been my go-to guy for pretty much everything around my house for years; from light fixture replacements to re-finishing my basement after a sump-pump flooding. He is remarkably communicative and friendly. At this point, he's closer to a friend than a contractor. Always checking back in on work that he performed, and how my dogs are doing (who he always dotes on when he's in the area). If you need an honest contractor, Chris is your guy. read more

Chris was able to hang my picture up in a tight staircase with in a short period of time. Plus I got an awesome rate!

Chris installed a dog door in the wall of my house. It looks great, he got it done quickly and professionally. Very satisfied.

Chris did an amazing job on a drywall repair job. He showed up on time, was extremely professional and very polite. He even walked me through a couple of steps I could complete myself to lower the cost of the job. read more

I called Chris to replace a toilet tank fill valve. I certainly didn't expect him to basically talk me out of hiring him! He explained how simple it was, and urged me to give it a try. So, I did. When I got stuck, who did I call? Yep. Not only did he come out right away, but did the job quickly and professionally (with some good-natured ribbing on the side, of course). I can't say enough about his professionalism and friendliness. He's even Beagle approved :-) I will definitely be calling him again when the need arises, and I'll be singing his praises to any of my friends who may have need of his services. read more

Chris was very helpful. Great service! Highly recommended. Will definitely be using his services in the near future. As honest as it gets!

Chris was great!! He was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. My wife and I just moved to a house for the first time after years of living in apartments, so needless to say, we had questions. Chris took the time and patiently assisted us. I'd highly recommend Chris and Realty Maintenance to anyone in need of handyman services. read more

Chris is sincere, honest, and very trustworthy. He did an excellent job, his work was impeccable, and at a fair price! I now have someone that I can trust to go to for future repairs!!! I highly recommend him for your home repairs! read more

100 percent satisfied! All work completed perfectly and of course there's always my last minute add-ons! Chris is NOT a handyman per se...he is a licensed contractor. His estimates are his word for the job being completed up to the standards of a contractor who knows how to do it right. And...to pique your curiosity ask him how he was a blessing to Barbara...it will show you his character! read more

I called SmallJob Contractor to get an idea of their rates after speaking to a couple different companies. I spoke with Chris and decided to go with this company because he was clear on how they charge and he was willing to come out and take a look at what i needed done without charging me an arm and a leg like some other companies. I'm really happy i went with him because after talking to him i could tell he has been doing this a long time and really knows what he is doing and cares about his work. I was even happier that i chose him once i saw the work completed. He did an amazing job and the prices are fair. He also has a great sense of humor, but most importantly he really did a great job and i am happy to have found a handyman i can trust. read more

When the buyers of our house in Maryland wanted some repairs to clinch the deal, Small Jobs was one of the few that returned my calls. They were quick, friendly and did great work. I would definitely use them again. read more

Chris is very professional and friendly. He got right to work on some projects I couldn't handle and did a really great job. I was so happy with his work I've already scheduled more projects. I would definitely recommend! read more
