ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER

Hello, my name is Gino. I am an inactive Firefighter/Paramedic since becoming unfit for duty due to severe chronic insomnia and anxiety, (PTSD). Prior ro my career in the fire service I worked in several trades starting out in HVAC and progressing to and learning other trades becoming a Jack of All Trades with a vastly diverse skill set. I have gained much knowledge and experience throughout the years working in the various trades. Being a Firefighter/Paramedic I have learned the importance and value of superior customer service and establishing trust. Serving as a handyman allows me to provide a meaningful purpose and continue my passion for helping people while controlling my own schedule so I can also continue working towards improving my overall health. Following my principles as a medic (treating every patient as I would a family member), I promise to treat your home as if it were my own with the pride and service you can expect from a dedicated firefighter/paramedic!

To say that Gino is as professional as they come would be an understatement. This should be your go-to company when it comes to any and all things that need to be addressed around and inside your residence. His staff is second to none when it comes to the quality of work that they give you and the final cost is extremely fair where you'll feel tremendously satisfied once the work has been completed.

Gino will respond quickly to you as well, which is contrary to a lot of those other handyman services around the valley. This company obviously takes pride in their trade which is why I would highly recommend Cracker Jacks to anyone who is looking for unfinished projects to finally be completed around the home.

Update: The owner is rude, hot headed and tries to intimidate customers. What business professional text a customer "karma will get you" for posting a Yelp review then says "bye felicia "?

If I could give this guy a zero I would. THEY ARE A SCAM. He quotes me a 4hr job to repair two holes in my wall so fine. He sends over a repair man who told me like 5 times he was sick so he will be a little slow. After 2hrs of him going to get supplies he let's me know that he didn't know the holes were big he was told they were small so the job was going to be alittle longer...then maybe 6hrs. So I call the owner to talk to him about the misquote and instead he tells me he's stressed and doesnt need to deal with this and cancels the job. THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE. I guess that's what I get for not hiring someone licensed and bonded. Lesson learned.

As a Realtor, I've dealt with several handymen in The Valley and Gino, with CrackerJacks, completely blew our expectations out of the water with not only the quality of work performed but his overall professionalism. We had such a great experience the first time that we've had him back to our house two additional times in less than a month. He was super quick to respond to our request and was able to come over on short notice.

The price was very reasonable and I can't continue to say enough great things about the services we received! We just built a home and had him install ceiling fans, blinds, mounted TVs, and more!

Trust me when I say you will NOT be disappointed!

Great working with this company. Thank you Yelp!

They contacted us right away after requesting a quote. They were friendly and fair priced. Also, they were quick in fitting us into their busy schedule.

They helped us install a small fence to protect our dog. The job was done perfectly and with professionalism.

Thanks again Yelp!

***Update***

Gino is obsessed with my review. He called me non stop after I posted about my experience. This must be Gino's third or fourth yelp response to my review. He post a response changes his mind about what he wrote than a few days later takes it down and repost something new. Very unprofessional and unpleasant experience. Please read all of his reviews this is not an isolated incident. Gino I do not want to discuss this matter with you. Please loose my number.

The service was professional and the workmanship was well-executed. The pricing was exact to the time spent in total of all my little projects. I felt safe being home alone with him and found the chit chat to be pleasant and appropriate. He came with his own varied and ample tools as well as those provided by the companies I'd purchased items from and cleaned up after completing each job. I highly recommend calling in advance to book him and to also be well organized so as to not waste any of the time during your appointment since you're paying for every minute. I'm so comfortable with my first experience that I'm going to make another appointment soon!

I needed to have 2 wall plates installed so that I could run an HDMI cable behind my wall. Something simple that didn't require a full AV specialist but difficult enough since I don't have the tools/expertise to cut through drywall and run cables behind it.

Gino did a great job of explaining exactly what he was going to do and mapping out a game plan with me. He was polite and courteous and even made sure to give me a heads up before he began drilling and cleaned up all debris. The job was completed in a shorter time frame than was estimated.

I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.

Gotta say Gino knocked it out of the park again with his handyman skills and communication. Thanks Gino for always being there for me!

Gino and Steve are great. They always showed up on time, prepared and ready to go. They are well educated and have tons of experience to help me set up my new house. They added a spring to the back gate, fixed caulking on my roof, stopped my shower for leading downstairs, helped to install shower hooks and mount TVs with precision, and were overall quick and friendly in doing all that. Highly recommend. Thanks!

We are a recently married couple and bought our first home a few months ago. I needed quite a few things done and reached out to several handy men on yelp. The primary reason i selected Gino over others was his friendly attitude with us. He genuinely cared for our house problems and wanted to help us out like a good friend would. He solved all the house problems we had very professionally and also taught me a few things here and there on house maintainance. I am surprised on reading some comments here as the "owner being rude", when on the other hand my experience was completely opposite. I will definitely call Gino again in future whenever i need a handyman.

With another monsoon season underway, I needed to have my garage roof cleaned off as leaves and twigs were clogging up the scuppers. I contacted Gino; he responded quickly with a reasonable quote for the job, and we set an appointment for my day off. He filled more than one bag with debris (or mulch, as he suggested I use it) and hosed down the roof. Water poured out of those scuppers and I have peace of mind again. He also advised me on some future projects and I will be calling on him for those as well. Thanks, Gino!

CrackerJacks was really responsive in setting up a time to come out to our house. After seeing all the great reviews, I was really excited to get someone in to take care of our list of handyman items, and Gino was great to work with via email.

Based on the reviews all concerning Gino, I expected him to be the one at my door. The other man who showed up was kind and respectful, but at the end of the day we were very disappointed. We needed all three of our children's sliding closets tuned up. He replaced the railing, but the new floor guides that we paid for him to get at Home Depot were not screwed firmly into the ground and 3 out of 4 of them were already broken when he left our house. We got new carpet, so he had to shave the doors down, and one he shaved too short and it no longer stays within the bottom guide. A week after he was at our house, we already have one closet door off the tracks.

We had him install a new fancy bathroom fan, and he put it in but didn't wire in the light or speaker for it. He did go back and do that, but - since we were paying an hourly rate - that was more money for him to take the time to unscrew it and put it back again.

He put up a mirror in my daughter's room, and that looks great!

We paid $700 for him to be at our house for the day doing this list of things, and having those closet doors in worse shape than before he came is really just sad for us. I emailed Gino after he left, but somehow our email string via Yelp had been stopped. I will be calling Gino to see if he will make this right and will update my Yelp review.

UPDATE: After posting this, Luis contacted me before I had a chance to get in touch with Gino. He set up a time to get out to my house right away, and scheduled plenty of time to get the job right. He fixed the bottom guide for the closets, and had me take a look at it. One closet was still rubbing and another one was not secure, so he worked on it a little longer and now they are all running beautifully!

I really should have checked out Luis's work before he left, and I'm sure he would have made it right before he left. These guys really do want you to be happy and take pride in their work! They've been really nice to work with!

We called Crackerjacks Handyman Services to replace our kitchen faucet. Gino did an amazing job all around. Very quick to respond, showed up on time (went out of his way to squeeze our job in his day), and very friendly. The new faucet looks and works perfect! We'll definitely be calling Gino in the future!

Best handyman! He can do anything you need. Put up TVs, surround sound speakers, even put up a couple pictures while he was here. Very clean. Very precise. And great prices. I definitely saved his number and will be calling him again. Thank you Gino!

Don't hire this guy to do baseboards. He was at my house for 5 hours doing an amount of work I could have done in 2 hours with a hand saw. He would cut one board, go outside, cut it again... Repeat.... He cut the boards around. My fireplace incorrectly. Huge gaps between the board and the wall. I asked him to fix it. He didn't bring the correct equipment for the job... Couldn't nail the baseboards to the wall even. Claims he offered to come back and attach them, that's news to me. Waste of money. Now I have to pay someone to come fix all the boards that he didn't attach to the the wall properly and finish the job that would have taken him weeks to actually finish at the rate he was moving. He discovered that I had two different size boards and when he informed me, I ran and grabbed a hammer and chisel to remove them immediately. Definitely didn't take 30 mins...and there was a bunch of work still to be done at the other end of the room. No need to wait for me. Lesson learned. When a handyman charges by the hour... Run. BTW, my dogs were upstairs for 4 hours. I let them downstairs to go outside. Claims my dogs ripped the boards off the wall. Did my dogs cut them incorrectly as well??

Have used Gino twice now with outstanding results both times. Once he hung TV's for me, The second he installed a dog door thru a wall. So as you can see he is a guy of many talents. On time and gives fair prices. What else do you want.

Steve was punctual, friendly, and efficient. I bought the wrong parts and Steve went out of his way to get the correct ones and swung by my house later in the week to finish up.

Gino was very professional and completed the job I needed in a timely and orderly fashion. He made sure all was correct and everything was up and running before he left. Took his time, no rush job. You can tell he treats a job like if it was his own home. I highly recommended crackerjacks handyman services and the owner Gino if you need anything done around your home!

I was very satisfied with the services I received from Gino and Luis. Gino was very quick to get back to me and Luis was available the next day to get our repairs made. Luis was right on time and was very efficient in getting the work completed. He replaced our kitchen faucet, installed 3 new lights and replaced a water spigot in our backyard. All of the work was nicely done and their fees were very reasonable. I will definitely call them again.

Gino just finished replacing an exterior door for me. We ran in to a couple of installation problems and he calmly and professionally figured out how to make the door I purchased work. He was very thorough with the installation and needless to say I am absolutely 100% pleased with the job he did. Highly recommend him for your handyman needs

"Polite, timely, clean, efficient, reasonable, professional, only a few words to describe the people and services at Crackerjacks Handyman Services. I was so impressed with work done installing a skylight and repair of roof and bay window that I had Crackerjacks install a new front door, porch lights, ceiling fans and security cameras. They've been back to do landscaping, painting, fence repair, water softener, hot water tank drainage, new bathroom sink, kitchen faucet, power wash of house and car, a quick organization of my shed, and more. I highly recommend Crackerjacks. As a senior I have no fear of them ripping me off and I am lining up jobs that need to be done that I just can't do anymore. No more worry of keeping up my home I call Crackerjack." Cindy Christian IL E-mail: cindy.lou.christian@gmai…
