Why It Matters Who You Call
A local handyman isn't just closer,
he knows your home before he arrives.
Bergen County homes have a story. The 1900s colonials in Hackensack's Fairmount, the pink-tile baths in Lodi, the GWB high-rises in Fort Lee. A handyman from two counties over quotes for the wrong thing. Jaime has fixed these exact houses - in these exact neighborhoods - for over 20 years.
He knows Bergen County's building rules, suppliers, and housing quirks by heart.
In Hackensack, decks over 30 inches need a permit. In Fort Lee's tall buildings, you have to book the service elevator before tools and materials can go upstairs. In Fairmount's old colonials, walls often hide outdated wiring from the 1900s under newer drywall - and you don't find out until you open the wall. Tile also fails faster here than inland because of damp air off the Hudson.
An out-of-area contractor Googles this. Jaime already knows it - and prices the quote accordingly so there are no surprises after the walls are open.
265 1st St, Hackensack - the shop is one block off Main Street. Response times aren't estimates; they're reality.

The Person Behind the Work
Not a franchise.
Not a call center.
Just Jaime.
Hey, I'm Jaime. I've been fixing homes across Bergen County for over 20 years. When you hire Jaime's Handyman Service, you're not getting a random name from an app - you're getting one person who puts his name on the work.
I was born in Ecuador and grew up with the traditions of the Cuenca region - family, honest work, and showing up for your neighbors. My father worked in construction, and from the time I was a kid I watched him on job sites. That's where the interest started, and it's never left.
Today I raise my family here, run the shop at 265 1st St, and treat every home like one I'd want my own family to live in. I'm a registered home improvement contractor in New Jersey, fully insured - because doing things the right way isn't optional.
Outside of work I spend time with my family and play piano. The patience and attention to detail that practice takes is the same mindset I bring to trim lines, tile work, and every finish you see when the job is done.
I show up when I say I will, I charge what I quote, and I don't leave until you're happy with the work.
I speak English and Spanish fluently. Many Hackensack and Bergen County clients recommend Jaime's Handyman Service to family and neighbors because estimates, contracts, and walkthroughs can happen entirely in español.
What Jaime sees driving Bergen County - real stops from the shop on 1st St, not stock copy.
On the route
Fairmount · Neighborhood
Fairmount and First Ward colonials settle every freeze-thaw cycle - plaster cracks along door headers and upstairs corners are a regular stop from the shop on 1st St. We patch before paint so the fix disappears.
Downtown / Main Street · Neighborhood
New rentals on Main Street mean turnover punch lists - lock swaps, drywall patches between tenants, and fixture tune-ups. Booking the service elevator when needed is part of the job.
265 1st St area · Main roads
Emergency calls from east of Main usually get a response in under 15 minutes - the truck is parked a block off downtown when I am not on a job. Flat price on the phone before I leave the shop.
Gallery photos and reviews are from real jobs. Local notes describe neighborhoods we drive through - not a dining, shopping, or travel guide.
What Homeowners Say
Real Bergen County customers. Real jobs. Real results.
Every review names the town and the service - because generic "great service" quotes tell you nothing.
“Jaime did our backsplash and refaced our cabinets in five days flat. Wrote everything down before he started, showed up on time every morning, and the kitchen was vacuumed before he left each night. My husband and I have hired three handymen over fifteen years in Hackensack - Jaime is the first one we'd call back.”
“We had a 1950s pink-tile bathroom that needed everything but the tile. Jaime kept the tile, replaced the vanity, the toilet, the shower fixtures, and re-grouted the whole thing in six days. Came in under the quote. Hablo español so he could explain everything to my mother who was visiting. Excellent work.”
“Photo quote within two hours of my text - wild. Came over the next morning, installed three IKEA cabinets and mounted the TV with the cables hidden in the wall. Clean, fast, fair. He found a stud where my last guy said there wasn't one.”

Common Questions
Your questions, answered.
The questions Bergen County homeowners ask before they call - answered plainly.
How much does a handyman cost in Bergen County?
Most single-job visits run $150–$650 flat; half-day visits $450–$900; full-day projects $900–$1,800; multi-day remodels are quoted line-by-line. Jaime's Handyman Service in Hackensack sends every price in writing before any work begins, so you never get the "while I'm here" upsell that ruins other Bergen County handyman bills.
What should I look for in a handyman in Hackensack?
Look for NJ Home Improvement Contractor registration, real general-liability insurance, written flat pricing (not "we'll figure it out"), photos of past work in Bergen County towns, reviews that name actual local towns (not just "great service"), and someone who answers their own phone. Jaime's Handyman Service checks every one of those boxes across Hackensack and 19 nearby towns.
How do you give estimates?
Text a photo to (201) 340-0476 or WhatsApp (914) 236-2300, and you get a flat written price back within two hours - no "we'll come look first."
