  Chris as his crew were a pleasure to work with. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent and the quality of work definitely met our expectations. We would not hesitate to use Chris again in the future and highly recommend.

  Handyman Matters South Pittsburgh

  I was recently widowed and my late husband did all work around our home. I needed help, I contacted Handyman Matters, South. The garage ceiling was a difficult job due to overhead electrical wires needing dropped and reconnected, cable and garage door opener mount and rails to work around. The men were punctual, courteous, and knowledgeable. The jobs were completed in a timely, professional manner and the work area swept clean. I will definitely hire this company again.

  Chris responded to my query about an estimate in a timely fashion and was very prompt for the appointment. We decided to go with Chris not only because his estimate was midline of the others, but because he was local and his response time and punctuality. When the work was scheduled he explained who of his men would be performing the work, Tony & Tony's son, Nick. They arrived just as scheduled and the first thing they did was put down tarps so as not to track - this was excellent! The first day the demolish was complete but they made sure they had the vanity installed so we could use the sink, and they tidied up after themselves putting all tools, etc out of the way. They finished the project within the time estimated -- being efficient, professional, and cordial. The glass mosiac tile they installed looks better than I imagined it would - this was not just a backsplash - I wanted the tile all along the bottom half of the walls...they did an awesome job! My husband used to do most of the home improvement type things himself, but due to an illness he no longer can do these things, so, after a search of a few years and several trial and errors, I'm happy to know we have finally found someone we can call with confidence to do those home improvement/repair jobs. I only wish we had discovered Chris and his team five years ago!

  I spoke with Jan and discussed three areas. He did not mention while on the phone that he cannot address the one area. He came to house to provide bid. During review of areas said that he thought we should repair sheds - which was never discussed. Ever. When we said we were not repairing sheds at this time, he still in the bid provided a bid for fixing sheds. Of the 648 and change quoted I asked about only a bid for weed clean up and painting ceiling crack in very small area. The bid only dropped by 45.00. Yet the original bid was predominantly about fixing the sheds. We also read on his site to mention a coupon if using Angie's List - we mentioned - there was not an adjustment for a coupon. Honestly, I am really confused. This is not my first home project by any means. We have a handyman in our area whom is ill but who typically quotes hourly. I am not comfortable with a bid without a breakdown; with a quote that does not reflect what we discussed previously; mentioning a coupon but then not following up. There is no trash removal because we have garbage pick up. My family and I had done most of the work but now needed final weed clean up. I was prepared to spend about 400.

  Chris was visit on time for our initial estimate visit and was able to have work completed one week after initial visit. Workers arrived on time, covered plants and other areas and did an excellent job of painting our trim.

  Tony and Nick arrived as scheduled and on entry they introduced themselves and addressed me by name. I can't say enough about their professionalism and quality of work, they did an outstanding job. They addressed any questions I had and also questioned me to be sure of what colors I wanted to go where. They double checked all their work and clean up all areas when they finished up. I would definitely hire Chris Jackson Company again!!!!

  J & M Contracting & Home Improvement

  We have used them several times, and had excellent prices and work done.
  
  John Sr. visits to see what needs done, gives a very fair price in writing, and schedules the work.
  John Jr.  does most of the work. He is very professional and goes out of his way to do things right
  John Jr. did an excellent job painting a room and  ceiling and the walls going up the stairs. He also did a nice job putting a new overhead light and fan in a bedroom.

  Everything went great. There have been a few storms with heavy rain and I haven't had one single leak. The bathroom looks amazing. The paint job was very neat. There wasn't any paint anywhere it shouldn't have been. I wanted to hug the gentleman when he told me that he tightened up the exhaust fan and caulked the tub!

  ALL WENT VERY WELL.  MR. JACKSON AND THREE MEN WERE ABLE TO GET MY WHOLE LIST DONE IN ABOUT 5 HOURS.  ALL WAS DONE TO PERFECTION AND CLEAN UP WAS INCLUDED. 
  I LIKE TO WATCH THINGS AS THEY EVOLVE AND NO ONE COMPLAINED ABOUT MY GATHERING OF WARRANTY INFORMATION ON THE ITEMS THAT WERE INSTALLED.  I KEEP A COMPLETE RECORD OF INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIRS FOR MY FILES.  ALL THE GENTLEMEN ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS AND HELPED ME UNDERSTAND HOW THE NEW ITEMS WORKED.  IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE WORKMEN WHO WILL HELP YOU USE THE ITEMS THAT THEY INSTALLED AFTER THEY HAVE GONE.
  I AM HAPPY WITH THE WORK AND RECOMMEND THEM TO ANGIE'S LIST PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A HANDYMAN AND CONTRACTOR.  I HAVE SINCE GIVEN CHRIS JACKSON CONTRACTING'S NAME AND NUMBER TO MY BROTHER WHO NEEDS SOME WORK DONE ON HIS HOUSE.
  WILL BE USING THIS CONTRACTOR AGAIN AND RECOMMEND HIM.

  Chris Jackson's Contracting

  I thought he was totally unprofessional. He came here to see what I needed done. Which was some railroad tie walls needed repaired. My door bell needed replaced and also the rubber seal on the door needed replaced. I was also considering a lock on the outside of my door. This man came to my house dressed in sandals and shorts. Which seemed very unprofessional to me. It was muddy and wet out so he wasnt dressed properly. He just seemed like he didnt respect my property. He had brought his son, who was extremly careless. The first day he was supposed to come around 930am, but he called me and said he wouldn't be there until 11. THen he called again and said he didnt have the equipment for the railroad ties. I let him know I had some extra he could use. He finally came at 1230pm to my home.His son went to the back to get the railroad ties out and banged the neighbors fence several times. He also dropped the wood right onto my grass instead of the rock area.  Then he went to get another board and walked right past me and banged right into my grill.I have a wooded area back behind my house. And the son took it upon himself to throw all the railroad ties back there. Now I will have to pay someone to move the wood to proper where I had asked him.So anyways the job went on, and the son was carrying tools back and forth and got mud all over my sidewalk and driveway. He also parked on my new driveway and got oil all over it when he had first came to see the job. He also cut wood all over my brand new mulch and left sawdust on the new mulch. He in no way shape or form did he clean anything up.He was ready to go to the front and work on my door. He asked for a tarp, but then ended up getting it himself. He had to at some point get inside my front door and he had taken his sandals off. So he was standing barefoot on my inside rug, then his son came in and got mud on the rug.   He asked me if I had something to clean his fingerprints off the door, and I am not sure why he didnt have something for that himself. Well anyways, he got the door finished and asked me to try out the door. I couldn't open the door at all. He told me to spray Pam on the door! I told him no, that I would get some WD-40.After all of this he asked me if there was anything else that I needed done. I showed him some outside plumbing, caulking around my foundation. Then he had the wrong type of lock for my door. It was large, obtrusive and didnt match.Then he asked about the kitchen faucet that I needed fixed.  I wish I wouldn't have let him in, but he came in my house barefooted. Well I am very particular about my carpets in my home and offered him booties to put on. He refused them and said he had washed his feet.  While he was upstairs, I said I would get his check written out. Then we were upstairs looking at the faucet that was leaking. He right away said that I needed to get a whole new faucet without really looking at it. At this point I just wanted him out of my house. He made me so uncomfortable and was looking at my things in my home and commenting on them. In addition it was discovered several weeks ago, that this man caused damaged to an entire water system after he stepped on a PVC piping breaking it. He also did not show up in appropriate foot wear, he also did not make the home owner aware that he damaged the water system and broke the PVC pipe.
