Be extremely careful with the type job you have Jake perform. I recently hired him to do a list of…read moreprojects for me. He started with lowering a vent line for my kitchen sink which he said he was qualified to do. He cut through a king stud on a bearing wall and was under the impression it wouldn't affect anything. I've had several general contractors tell me the workmanship Jake performed is amateur. If you look at my pictures you'll see he didn't glue one of the PVC fittings and you can clearly see that he notched versus drilling through a structural piece of lumber. This is my text to Jake after I confirmed his work caused damage to a structural wall... "I got some bad news today. I started thinking and realized that the King stud you cut is in fact a bearing wall. The floor joists run perpendicular to the wall and as you can see in the picture they lap over the top plate of that wall. It's being recommended that the base cabinets, the one upper cabinet, the counter and sink needs to be removed and that King stud replaced and then the vent rerouted through a drilled hole not a notched 2 x 4." This is his response... "Your out of line!! Do what you have too!! I knew what you were up to from day one!! See you in court!! Ive contacted my insurance as well as sent them all texts between us!! You could have handled this professionally !!" I had emailed him yesterday but he told me today he doesn't use emails, he does everything through text. Not sure why he would have an email address on his business card? I was not overly impressed with his painting skills either. I was a painter 40 years ago and I learned that 90% of your job is prep. Jake seemed more interested in getting paint on the wall then doing the proper patching. His mudding and drywall skills are lacking too. He leaves a mess behind him and he caulks right over the dirt. I asked him if he was going to clean any of the woodwork and he said he can sand off the dirt. You can't sand off grime, it only clogs up your sandpaper. I took it upon myself to remove all the light fixtures, ceiling vents for the furnace, door knobs, wall plates and I even started cleaning the woodwork myself, with a product called TSP, which is a heavy-duty cleaner every painter that is qualified to do work knows about. I have hired a different company to perform the services that Jake is not qualified to perform. Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions. His prices are extremely low and I thought I had found a diamond in the rough. Not only was he going to do some plumbing work, but I was going to have Jake paint my entire townhome, as well as install hardwood flooring on the entire first floor. I had told myself if he screwed up the PVC, I wouldn't let him go forward. He assured me to trust him, that the work that he did was safe. He did perform an okay job on the ceilings, but there are multiple areas that still need attention. Jake got paint on my Skylight, all over the vent over the stairway that I was not able to remove myself. He got paint on my bathtub and the vanity in my bathroom and didn't even bother to clean it off. He also left a dirty bathtub from him cleaning his rollers in it. And he scratched up my three-month-old sink when he was cleaning out his trough and knives, for the drywall work that he performed. Jake swiped 2 of my towels in my garage to clean up some paint he got on my carpeting. He left the wet towels on my chair afterwards. He used another one of my towels as his caulk rag. I also moved all my furniture to the center of each room. He didn't bother putting plastic over my furniture and I covered my own furniture and moved most of it to the garage. I hope this is a wake-up call for him and he stops taking on jobs that he's not qualified to do. Hopefully too he'll take this to Heart and realize that he's screwed up and will make good on the damages he caused me. I have contacted his insurance company and I gather I'll be hearing from his attorney on these matters as well. Wish me luck! Edit: I just learned the certificate of insurance he provided me isn't valid for the date he performed my work and he threatened me that my review is slander. I have pictures and text that state otherwise.

Short version - Poor communication…read more- Does not always show up on the days agreed to. - Rushes team through job - Does not complete all work Long version My entire job was estimated to take 5 days. Agreed start date was Monday Mar 16th. Monday: only Nate arrived. Answer to question: "where is Jake" was "Finishing another job, will be here tomorrow". Tuesday: only Nate arrived. No Jake. Wednesday: No-one arrives. After calling Jake, he put it down to miscommunication with Nate. Thursday: only Nate arrived. No Jake. Friday: only Nate arrived. No Jake. So out of 5 days, only 1 guy shows up for 4 days work. That Friday (5/20) Gov. Pritzker issued a "stay at home order". Job was not close to being completed. 6 weeks later (end of April) I contact Jake to continue job. Earliest start was in another 2 weeks, so Monday 5/18. No problem. Sunday (5/17) I text to confirm and I'm told he will be there on Wed 5/20. Just as well I followed up. On Monday, I get a text to say he will be there tomorrow (Tuesday 5/19). Whatever works for his schedule, I guess. Tuesday the team arrives: Jake, Nate and 3 young guys. Nate pulls them aside, gives them a speech that this job is costing him money and they should finish painting in a day. Then he leaves... has plumbing job to finish somewhere else. Team is now in a huge rush to get paint on the walls and do very little prep. Some examples of what that meant: - Painted around a free hanging oval mirror in a bathroom.Removed it myself to have the entire wall painted. - Did not patch all damage from wall paper removal even though I highlighted the damage. - Patched some damage AFTER wall was painted - because new color was linen and I guess they thought it would be hidden enough? Nope. Looking at the obvious discolored patch on the wall while writing this. - Damage that was patched was done poorly. - Started painting incorrect color on an accent wall and in other living areas. - Did not cover furniture to protect from paint or drywall sanding dust - Dripped paint on carpet in lounge and on stairs - Walked paint over hardwood floor - Left paint on lamp stand - Left paint on leather couch - Kept fan blowing directly on wall while sanding it. Dust was blowing everywhere. - Left paint on the faucet in my laundry sink after cleaning rollers. - Left dirty water splashes on laundry room wall Jake arrived back that afternoon and starts fitting light switch covers back onto the wall. I point out that there is only one coat of paint on the wall. He repeatedly tells me there is 2. I can literally see the original paint color showing through next to the light cover he was putting back on the wall. I head over to ask Nate and he gives a non-committal answer to simple yes/no question of "did you put 2 coats of paint on the wall?". Nate was the one rolling the wall and he should know how many coats of paint he applied. I was home all day so know it was only one - without even looking at the obvious evidence on the wall itself. Jake calls Nate over and they head outside to have a conversation. They then head back in and Jake says they will be back the next day to apply the second coat of paint. Then proceeds to complete the accent walls by applying 2 coats of paint, with only 20 minutes between first and second coat. Jake and 2 of the young guys arrive back the next day and finish painting the railings and second coat of paint on the walls. Done by noon and then says he and team are leaving. Will be back following week Tue (5/26) to finish TV room. Ok, I guess my job is going to take even longer? Come Tue, no Jake no team. I text him and no response. I track him down via my neighbor as it come up they were painting his daughters house. Jake says he is on another job and he can't get hold of Nate. Wed, no Jake or Nate. I text him and no response. Followed up with text to say I'm not satisfied with completed work and there is still work to be done. Jake replies that Nate fell off a ladder and he could only get hold of him now. Says Nate will be back onsite on Monday 6/1. Today is Monday 6/1. Neither Jake nor Nate have arrived and no communication from either of them. Outstanding work is: - Paint kitchen ceiling - because paint from cabinets and wall went on to the ceiling - Complete touch-up of base cabinets. Removal of tape removed some paint on the bottom trim, resulting in white showing through. - Finish walls in TV room to a point where they are ready to be painted. Jake has been paid in full except for $100 (for painting of TV room walls - which are in no condition to be painted). Now I fully admit I should not have paid until the work was complete. However these are not ordinary times. With COVID-19 impacting everything, I felt it would be the right thing to do, i.e. help a small operation ensure they have cash to pay the team completing work. I did this in good faith, expecting the work to be done. At this point, I'm not sure this will be the case and have little recourse available.

I never thought I'd experience such horrible service in my life, but I finally did. I hired Ken…read moreMarks, the Village Handyman, to install a copper line from my laundry room to my fridge after moving into my house. It was a chore just to set up an appointment, but I was able to book him a couple weeks out. He did come prior to provide an estimate and scope of work, and all seemed fine. Ken did what I thought to be a good job, and he talked me through what options I had along with the work that he did. He was professional. Unfortunately that's where it ended. I had to plug something into the outlet behind my fridge a few days later so I moved it out a few inches, plugged in my device, and thought nothing else of the task. Later in the day, my wife tells me that there is water all over the floor. Apparently the copper line popped out of the fitting attached to the fridge! We took care of the water, and thankfully there wasn't any damage to the floors since we caught this after the line came loose. I obviously shut off the water to the fridge, and re-inserted the line to the fridge and chalked up the incident to be a fluke. Fast forward less than two months and I'm away from home on a trip, and my wife is holding down the fort. So the fridge was moved again to unplug the fridge and get it connected to a generator using an extension cord due to some electrical work that was getting done. Water was shut off from the laundry room, but the water line came loose from the fridge again! I got a frantic call and messages from my wife, and I immediately called Ken, the Village Handyman, thinking that he could take care of this under warranty. I left a voicemail, but he still didn't get back to me all day until I called him again late in the afternoon once more. I told him about the issue and he said that he couldn't get to this issue until three days later. Okay... we had the water shut off, so no biggie. Three days later, he calls to say that he can't make it. How about doing it the next day (Saturday)? Sure. He calls later and says that it's not looking good for the weekend. He might have to come on Monday. Ugh. Okay, but then we call him back because this is dragging on too long. We just want this fixed. Well he agreed to come by on Saturday, and he finally arrived. I thought that Ken would just see what the issue was and correct the matter, but instead he came into my house with his shoes on (I asked him previously to take them off), huffing and puffing about getting called so much about coming out to fix this, and then dropping on us that this was a service call and was gonna incur a charge of $100. It was also gonna $75 to fix this. My wife was shocked at his demeanor, attitude, and demand that we pay him immediately for what he should have just taken care of since he didn't do the job properly from the beginning. She refused his demands, and he promptly walked out of our house without fixing a thing. I finally got back home, and see that Ken left a $100 invoice in my mailbox for not doing anything. I also see that he used the wrong fitting, which resulted in the line popping loose from the fridge. What costs a few bucks for the proper fitting ends this ridiculous saga and and any future business with this most unprofessional person. Never again do I want to see or hear from this guy. I hope that nobody has to experience what my wife and I went through because of this guy's hack job. I hate that I have to give any business one star, because I know how hard it is first hand to satisfy customers and keep things running.

About what two months ago or less, my husband hires " the village handyman." He did a job where he connected a copper water line from our laundry room to the refrigerator when he left the job it was working. About a week or two after the job was done I saw water leakage from the refrigerator it was a puddle. My husband thought to fix it himself and it worked. Then we had our electricians come in slightly moved the fridge but not much only few inches to get some work done for the electrician. work. The only reason why they moved the refrigerator because they saw the water was leaking out a lot. They tried to help stop it and clean it up. So I called " The village handyman," several times to come out and he was too busy to come to fix a 5-minute job. He kept saying I can come out at this time or no I have to delay it. So the calls might sound harassing overwhelming it's only because he didn't show up! Or he said things and wouldn't respond. Then when we finally arrive, he complained that I kept calling him to come fix our issue. He kept saying " pipes don't just leak by themselves" or something like that and that he going to charge us $100 just for coming out and $75 for service fees. I didn't want to pay for it he walked out told me " I want nothing to with this and he goes " go call a plumber." The worse service. He's done with us we're done with him. He even walks right into our house with shoes and he knows we're an Asian family and don't believe in shoes in the house.
