Jim did a great job installing my interior door, repairing my soffit, and replacing a missing board on my garage door! I would hire him again for my next home projects.
Jim did a great job installing grab bars in my 93-year-old mom's bathroom in an assisted living community (we got permission from the community to add additional grab bars). He was extremely patient with my mom as she changed her mind about positioning, and he secured the bars well. She felt much more confident when she took her next shower. Thanks, Jim! I'll use your services again.
We had a great experience with Jim Powers & his company Side Hustle. They Seal coated our driveway and did an outstanding job. Their prices are very competitive and I would rank the quality of the work much higher than some of the larger companies who charge more. Jim got right back to us when we inquired about their services and always showed up on time. I would highly recommend Jim and his team at Side Hustle!!!
Jim and Caleb are the best! I have used them to install grab bars, a shower head, fixed leaky toilet, paint and stain my porch. Their work is outstanding and they clean up beautifully! I would highly recommend them.
I would highly recommend Jim and Caleb from Side Hustle. They did an amazing job of installing composite railings on our back deck. Then we found out we had a sink hole in our driveway and they returned the next day to patch and repair the sink hole then seal coated the following day. Their work was outstanding and professional and they cleaned up meticulously when they finished. Bill and Kathy Mancini, Northbridge, MA
