What customers say
Real emergency calls. Real outcomes.
“Locked out of our condo at 11pm. Called Jaime - he answered, told me a flat price over the phone, and was there in 40 minutes. Replaced the broken lock the same night with a quality Schlage that he had in the truck. No "emergency surge pricing," no surprise upcharge. Saving his number.”

“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.”
Maria R.
Hackensack, NJ
“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.”

From leaking ceilings to broken locks and storm damage, Jaime stabilizes first to prevent further loss, then completes most repairs the same day. He answers the phone live, dispatches immediately, and keeps you updated until he arrives - most Bergen County calls get a response in under an hour.
How do you price emergency work?
You get flat written pricing before any work starts - no surprises, ever. Jaime explains options clearly, sends photo updates if needed, and includes full cleanup as part of the job. Emergency trip fee is $95, waived when you book the full repair.
Can you stop a leak even if you can't fully fix it tonight?
Almost always. Jaime carries shutoff parts, pipe clamps, drip pans, and tarps for that exact situation - stabilize tonight, complete the proper repair tomorrow with the right material. That's standard procedure for emergency handyman calls across Hackensack and Bergen County.
