Through Thumbtack, I had hired Hillbilly Barter and Trading Company to refinish my farmhouse dining room table. They refinished the table but returned it with extremely wobbly legs. They refused to fix it so I went through thumbtack again to find a handyman who could repair it. As shown in the attached photos, Hillbilly barter and Trading hadn’t fully screwed in the legs, had splintered some of the wood and done a shoddy job overall. I found John and his company through Thumbtack. John showed up promptly at 9 and spent several hours replacing screws, adding additional screws etc. He took the extra steps to make sure that the legs supported the table and that there was absolutely no wobbling or weaknesses in the structure. That kind of professionalism and dedication to doing the best possible job is so nice to find. Too many contractors rush through the work and are more interested in getting paid than doing a thorough and complete job. I highly recommend John because I know he’ll be meticulous about any work he’s contracted to do. I’ll certainly be asking for his help in the future with anything I need help with. We’ve already discussed landscaping and painting. Thank you John for the extra effort and a job well done. Kudos to you!

I don’t believe they deserve a 1 star review but I don’t believe they deserve a 5 star either. I was debating writing this but realized how much I truly rely on reviews when I am searching for someone to hire. He was very nice, but his profile says $50 an hour and despite his lack of reviews on here, I gave him a shot for the price. My job was fairly simple, picture hanging and he did tighten legs on my table which I really appreciated and wasn’t initially part of the job. He was supposed to be here at 4:30 he did call me saying it would be closer to 5, so I said no problem.. he ends up getting here at 5:20. Not the end of the world but still. He was here roughly 45 minutes, I was keeping track and I knew I’d be paying atleast 50, I didn’t expect him to pro-rate an hour. I fully wanted to compensate him for his time. But then he tells me after he’s already here that for “small jobs like this he doesn’t charge by the hour.” Ok, no problem. But when I went to Venmo him, he asked if $200 was to much I kind of almost died at that question. I had 3 guy friends scream at me last night and today asking why I didn’t just ask them to hang things up lol but I wanted it done by a certain time and sometimes it’s easier to just hire out, then you really feel like it will be done correctly. I kind of felt taken advantage of and we compromised on $100 which was still more than two other pros on here were going to charge me, but the job was done and it was decent so I just did it. It just sounded like he wanted to see how much he could get out of me and it just didn’t sit right with me last night or today. Again he was nice & is good at what he does, but I did learn a valuable lesson.
