Can I give less? I doubt Jim Handymen have any screening processes. Do NOT be mistaken. These Jim men/people are not the warm spirited, reliable Aussies nextdoor. They are a hotch-potch of just about anyone who are ready and willing to provide rip off quotes. All I asked was for a cabinet to be altered to cover a fireplace. I was "allotted" a bloke with an unprenouncible name (you don't get a choice) when he contacted me, I sent photos of small fireplace and cabinet as requested, told him it was a simple job to cut the back of the cabinet to fit. I didn't ask for a sculpture. After a few hours, he texted "I'm not a handyman" Leo provides a quote over $300 plus GST. I questioned this, was less than impressed as I had a budget of $150. Then a bizarre tirade of abuse, Leo told me he was in fact a University graduate, on television, a high style technician and hated white attitudes! I kid you not. He texted me to expect an 8 minute lightfitting to cost $250 and told me I was, in effect, cheap. I said I'm not in the habit of throwing money at people for simple jobs. I sent his tirade to Jim's. But I DO think Jim's is very much at fault by associating with people who are unprofessional, greedy and quite comfortable with texting lengthy abuse - all of Leo's abusive texts calling me every name under the sun, came from AI. I said honestly, I despised the attitudes of greed brought into this country. In short, go elsewhere. You are a sitting duck for anyone Jim thinks is OK to abuse you.
