Call or text
Reach out with the job and a few photos if you have them. For most jobs that's enough for Jim to price it, free — and he usually replies the same day.
Onsite visit
Only if the job needs it. That visit is $50, credited straight back off your bill if Jim does the work.
Quote accepted
A clear, flat price up front. Nothing starts until you give the go-ahead.
Job done and paid
Jim works clean and on schedule, and leaves it better than he found it. Simple payment once you're happy — any $50 visit fee already deducted.
Eight things, done honestly.
Most jobs around a house don't need a big contractor and a three-week wait. Pick a service to see exactly what's included — and where a specialist is the right call instead.
