Jason O'connell describes himself on Thumbtack as a handyman with 25 years in construction, the first 20 at MIT for a GC and then as a maintenance mechanic for the school, followed by 5 years working for himself as a handyman. He also calls himself a meticulous painter. In a 2023 Thumbtack review, a customer said Jason helped assemble a lot of furniture, helped hang several pieces of artwork and pictures on the wall, and tidied up afterwards. In another 2023 review, a customer said Jason did a very good job at patching and painting and was flexible with his time. A third 2023 review says Jay showed up on time, got right to work and was very polite, and recommends him for help assembling furniture.
Great conversation and friendly guy who helped me put together/assemble a lot of furniture that I could not have done without professional help. Jason also helped hang several pieces of artwork and pictures on the wall. He also tidied up after he left. 100% recommended.
Really responsive and responsible person. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the good work I will hired you for any of my projects Thanks again ED
Jason, did a very good job at patching and painting. He's very professional and flexible with his time. Would definitely look to get all my handyman work done by him.
