★★★★★
Housecall Pro
If I could give Josh 10 stars, I would. Josh is very fair and honest. He had the opportunity to make more money because I asked for something I thought I wanted. Josh told me he could do it, but he didn't think it would really benefit me.
★★★★★
JEM Handyman Services just completed several jobs for us - gutter cleaning, laying a pallet + of river rock in two beds in front of our house and cleaning/re-staining our large deck. We could not be happier with the results. Josh is such a pleasure to work with, always prompt and the attention to detail is outstanding.
Home Depot mixed the wrong color stain and man did I hate the result! Josh jumped into action, corrected the error with Home Depot and saved us quite a bit of money in the end. He quickly arranged for a crew to return on a Sunday to re-stain the deck and it looks amazing!
If you are looking for a completely honest Handyman Service with fair prices and meticulous work - call JEM and Joshua. He makes sure your jobs are done completely to your satisfaction.
★★★★★
J.E.M. Handyman Services are prompt, knowledgeable, patient and pride themselves in the integrity of their work. Joshua has 100% “can do” attitude and genuinely wants to help. His team has excellent communication and always a quick response. J.E.M. Is now our household go to. VERY FAIR PRICING! The job was installing a Bag Kit to a brand new riding mower. He solved the mystery that we were sold the incorrect model. Got the right one and came out the next week to finish the job. We are so thankful we found J.E.M.
