Hi, my name is Jon, the proud owner of Things 2 Fix. I started in the handyman sector in 2010 after graduating from school in architecture drafting. I shifted from position to the other, collecting experience from various experts in varied fields. Following my time with some of the biggest handyman companies, I discovered the gaps in their approaches and what customers truly expect. I launched this business because I understand how high the prices of our rivals can be and how challenging it is to get someone to come to your aid in your moment of need. I created Things 2 Fix as a response to the issues with our peers.

Recommended Customer Reviews

These guys do great work, they are on time, and honest. They probably could have charged me more due to the fact that the vanity I bought broke and I had to go to Home Depot for a new one but they didn't. When I say honest, I mean honest. My house is an older bungalow and I knew that a simple vanity install wouldn't be so simple...and it wasn't. Yet these guys delivered. Not only would I recommend them for anyone else, I will use them again. They come highly recommended. I actually paid them more because I felt like they deserved a little more.

Super impressed with Things 2 Fix. Their rates were competitive with other quotes we received, but after several bad experiences with other contractors, I have stopped hiring based on quote alone. However, Jon, the owner, was REALLY responsive with my messages (a rarity in the contractor world) and their reviews were great so I decided to give them a go. They arrived EARLY (actually, they would have been even earlier, if I had been home to let them in) and got the job done quickly and painlessly. The job was that they installed a new vanity top on our sink. Would definitely hire again for other projects.

Jon and his team were great! They responded quickly, very reasonable rates and a job well done. They were right on time as well. We will certainly be using them again and would refer them to anyone.

I have nothing but great things to say about Things 2 Fix. After a massive renovation project, we were left with two bathtubs that were leaking into the units below us. We had three different contractors come out to repair the leaks. All of them left us with outrageous bills, threats of litigation, and bathtubs that still leaked. After receiving payment, none of them would honor their ""warranties"" and come back to fix their deficient work.
When I initially found Jon on Yelp, I was skeptical. I decided to give him a chance because I had no other options. They were extremely responsive and were able to come out in a few days. They fixed both leaks and honored their warranties for minor things I noticed after they left. Their prices are very reasonable. Furthermore, they are actually licensed, which is rare for most services that you find on Yelp. Most contractors will present a license, but have unlicensed workers do the actual work to cut costs.
They are also extremely trustworthy and I would have them work in my home with no one present. If you have any issues, I highly recommend you contact them. They will not disappoint.
As to the negative reviews left by Ryenne and Amy, all I can say is that Things 2 Fix was one of the most responsive contractors I have come across. They will be my first call if I ever need assistance again.

I had an appointment scheduled for an estimate this morning. No one showed. I called to find out if anyone was coming (as I sit outside my rental building in my car). No one answered but I received a text saying there was a family emergency and they had to leave town unexpectedly-said he thought they sent cancellation emails out but ""just remembered"" he didn't get my email address. I don't have time to waste so I'm pretty annoyed. This is an Unprofessional time wasting ""business."" Nope. No thanks.

I was quite pleased with this company. The workers arrive right on time, did a great job, and were very pleasant. I will be working with them again.

Jon and his crew were very helpful in reviewing some issues we had with our door. He responded in a very timely manner and showed up on time! When the issue was nothing major, he provided advice and a way for me to solve the problem without charging me anything. Really appreciated his time and consideration, and I definitely recommend.

Great service! I will definitely call them again for future projects of mine. I needed some work done on my kitchen sink and they came out that day for a very reasonable price. I recommend them for your next project.

Unimpressed. Despite being listed as having a 100% response rate and coming up in the first couple of listings for my town, I got no response to an email submitted via their website nor to my follow up call. I'm moving on.

Jon and his team met and exceeded all expectations. I immediately got a good vibe from these guys. Their assessment of the work seemed straightforward and honest, and their quote was 30% less than any other contractor. They handled my tub to shower conversion seamlessly, staying on schedule and budget. Highly recommend.
