WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING 🗣
“We are very happy with the flooring and trim that was replaced in our guest bathroom. John, the owner, and Cody the installer were both professional and fair with their pricing. It seems like it's getting more difficult to find a contractor who is willing to do smaller jobs these days. We highly recommend them.”
- Mark W., Slinger
“Hey Guys, just wanted to let everyone know I had a great conversation with John from Five Oaks out of Jackson. He came over to give me an estimate, was honest and declined the work but steered me to another qualified contractor he trusted. He gave me some great advice and it was much appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate calling him again in the future. Thanks John!”
- Pat e., Slinger
“We hired Five Oaks to come do a sink replacement. I was initially impressed with their fast response time getting back to me. The second thing that stood out to me was how well-written and professional his text messages were. John and Kevin showed up on time and got to work immediately. While they were working, I inquired about other possible jobs and John stated he could not only do them but fit them in that same day as well. I had asked for a second railing to be added to our staircase as we are getting older and I have mobility Issues. I had walked over to check on the progress and it was not only already installed but Kevin was already staining it! We also needed a new doorknob lockset installed which was completed flawlessly. Both gentlemen cleaned up the work areas once finished. I highly recommend using their services for any work you need done. Five Oaks is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!”

“John was very punctual and gave me the best price to install my walk in shower. The work was QUALITY! I would to anyone looking to have a professional job done at affordable price.”
- Prentiss f., Milwaukee
“Do you have a ‘problem house?’ Well, I sure did! A pipe exploded due to some faulty work done by the previous owners; this left me with a MESS of a cleanup! Hot Shot Handyman - John - showed up confident he could complete all the plumbing, drywall, painting, ceiling light, and fan installation, carpentry, floor installation, tile, and shower rehab we needed to be done. On top of all that, he was also able to install soffits for a problem I didn’t even know that I had, and he fixed a problem door that no one else had been able to fix! He provided me with a more than reasonable bid for the project. As with all projects, things came up along the way, and they were all handled flawlessly. They fixed things beyond my original expectations. Upon completion, I couldn’t be happier. John and his group of guys were professional and respectful, ensuring I was pleased with the work every step of the way. Hot Shot Handyman is my go-to for everything from here on out! Please reach out to him if you need any work done. His company is more than just one guy, so you don't have to worry about the project dragging on forever. He is friendly and prompt and does excellent work. He is licensed and insured and even offers a warranty on his work!”
