Handyman Lead


From Jens List member Kelli4000@aol.com


“As a single, and clueless about household repairs or whether a contractor is being honest with me or not, woman, I feel very vulnerable. I found someone who saved me thousands of dollars on work I was about to do to my home. He came out and for a nominal fee, let me know how the project should be done, and why. Everything he told me made sense and I ended up saving A LOT of money. He was honest, reliable and trustworthy. His name is Jeff and Cell no. is 310-279-9067.”
