Introduction
I apologize if this comes off wrong, but i have been taken advantage of too many times. So, PLEASE READ BELOW. I DO THIS FOR A LIVING. I AM CHARGED UP TO $30 FOR YOU CONTACTING ME. IF YOU ARE PRICE SHOPPING, DO NOT CONTACT ME. IF YOU EXPECT YOUR REPAIR TO BE ABSENT OF ANY PROFIT FOR ME, DO NOT CONTACT ME. IF YOU ARE GOING TO ASK ME FOR A RECEIPT FROM MY WHOLESALER WHO I PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO IN ORDER TO GET MY PRICING, DO NOT CONTACT ME. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DISPUTE YOUR CHARGES WITH YOUR BANK FOR NO REASON, DO NOT CONTACT ME. I AM NOT THE CHEAPEST IN TOWN. BUT I AM ONE OF THE BEST AND I AM UNDER MARKET. I am honest. i am great at my job. it is not an easy job. I will go above and beyond, but I expect honesty and integrity from my customers. If you believe you are reaching out to a local handyman who will never retite and get you stuff fixed for nothing, i am not your guy. My service fee is $85. If a repair is approved, the $85 is waived. Payment is required at the time of service. MY MINIMUM LABOR FOR ANY REPAIR IS $139. PRICING VARYS PER JOB.

James came out within 24 hours of me contacting him for an appliance repair for a tenant of mine. The tenant had GREAT things to say about his experience and expressed his appreciation with James’ professionalism. Highly recommend you contact James!

James demonstrated exceptional responsiveness throughout the repair process. Unfortunately, the completion of the repair on the initial day was delayed due to the unavailability of a necessary component. However, James maintained excellent follow-through and successfully completed the job ahead of schedule. I would wholeheartedly recommend hiring him again without reservation.

James responded quickly, showed up on time, assured me he could repair my refrigerator and it would not be crazy expensive, and it wasn’t. I’m very happy with his work and would definitely hire him again.

I had a feeling the belt in my dryer needed to be replaced. I had bought a replacement so I could do it myself but I wasn't confident I could fix it. Thank goodness for Mr. Maki. He was punctual and he fixed it in less than 30 minutes.
