Common Problems, Solved
Tired of these? Here's how I fix them.
Bergen County homeowners hear the same complaints. Here's how Jaime's is different.
“Unreliable handymen who ghost you”
I show up when I say I will and stay your one point of contact. On bigger jobs I may bring trusted partners I've worked with for years - never a random crew from an app.
“Vague pricing and end-of-job surprises”
Flat, written pricing before any work starts. The price on the quote is the price on the invoice. No games.
“Waiting days just to get a basic quote”
Text me a photo and you'll usually get a flat price back in about two hours. No scheduling a walk-through first.
“Pros who don't know Bergen County homes”
Older colonials in Hackensack, high-rise rules in Fort Lee, damp basements in Englewood - I know the codes, suppliers, and right materials for our area.
“Slow emergency response and messy job sites”
24/7 real emergency service with under-1-hour response in many cases. Cleanup isn't extra - it's standard on every job.

No fog, no hourly guesses. Send a photo, approve the number, Jaime handles the rest.

Common questions, plain answers
Searching for a handyman in Bergen County?
How much does a handyman cost in Bergen County?
Most single-job visits run $150–$650 flat; half-day visits $450–$900; full-day projects $900–$1,800; multi-day remodels are quoted line-by-line. Jaime's Handyman Service in Hackensack sends every price in writing before any work begins, so you never get the "while I'm here" upsell that ruins other Bergen County handyman bills.
What should I look for in a handyman in Hackensack?
Look for NJ Home Improvement Contractor registration, real general-liability insurance, written flat pricing (not "we'll figure it out"), photos of past work in Bergen County towns, reviews that name actual local towns (not just "great service"), and someone who answers their own phone. Jaime's Handyman Service checks every one of those boxes across Hackensack and 19 nearby towns.
How do you give estimates?
Text a photo to (201) 340-0476 or WhatsApp (914) 236-2300, and you get a flat written price back within two hours - no "we'll come look first." For larger jobs (full bath, kitchen, deck rebuild), Jaime visits the home free and walks you through the quote line-by-line. Photo quotes save Bergen County homeowners hours of show-up appointments.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes - NJ Registered Home Improvement Contractor with full general-liability insurance. Proof of both can be texted to you before any work starts; just ask. That's table stakes for any handyman serving Hackensack and Bergen County, and Jaime's Handyman Service treats it that way - never an upcharge, never a runaround.
Why homeowners call Jaime

We understand what it feels like to wait days for a quote or worry the bill will change at checkout. That is why Jaime sends flat written prices from photos in about two hours, shows up when promised, and cleans up before leaving. Text photos, approve the quote, Jaime handles the job.

What Homeowners Say
Real Bergen County customers. Real jobs. Real results.
Every review names the town and the service - because generic "great service" quotes tell you nothing.
“Jaime did our backsplash and refaced our cabinets in five days flat. Wrote everything down before he started, showed up on time every morning, and the kitchen was vacuumed before he left each night. My husband and I have hired three handymen over fifteen years in Hackensack - Jaime is the first one we'd call back.”
“We had a 1950s pink-tile bathroom that needed everything but the tile. Jaime kept the tile, replaced the vanity, the toilet, the shower fixtures, and re-grouted the whole thing in six days. Came in under the quote. Hablo español so he could explain everything to my mother who was visiting. Excellent work.”
“Photo quote within two hours of my text - wild. Came over the next morning, installed three IKEA cabinets and mounted the TV with the cables hidden in the wall. Clean, fast, fair. He found a stud where my last guy said there wasn't one.”

The person behind the work
Not a franchise.
Not a call center.
Just Jaime.
I was born in Ecuador and grew up with the traditions of the Cuenca region - family, honest work, and showing up for your neighbors. My father worked in construction, and from the time I was a kid I watched him on job sites. That's where the interest started, and it's never left.
Outside of work I spend time with my family and play piano. The patience and attention to detail that practice takes is the same mindset I bring to trim lines, tile work, and every finish you see when the job is done.
“I'm not trying to be the biggest - just the most reliable.”
- Jaime, Hackensack NJ
When you are ready for bigger projects
