Review by a homeowner in Wauwatosa, WI
We hired Jerry Geurtsen in June of 2015 to update our home’s main bathroom and replace our hot water heater. From the start of the project, Jerry was difficult to get ahold of and often unresponsive to phone calls and emails. Our first issues with Jerry’s work began when he installed the shower accent tile incorrectly by not accounting for the differences in tile thickness. This resulted in us having to spend additional money to replace accent tiles so he could come back and do the work correctly a second time. We experienced additional issues with his bathroom work when large cracks began to appear in the grout he installed within the first 3 months. We contacted him about repairing the grout issue multiple times but he never came back to fix his work. The installation of the hot water heater went smoothly but Jerry incorrectly issued the extended warranty associated with the unit in his own name and was never willing to simply contact the company to transfer it over to us. We attempted to work with Jerry to transfer the extended warranty for over six months after the project was completed (placing phone calls, texts, emails and even a complaint thru the Better Business Bureau) but he never transferred the extended warranty. Jerry displayed a lack of communication and follow thru throughout our entire project. His refusal to correct the issue with the extended warranty was frustrating and dishonest.

He figured out the problem and did the repair quickly to the best it could be done given the significant damage to the steps.

Jerry was professional and offered us options for our garage entry door replacement. I will be utilizing his service for future jobs; that's the best recommendation I can give!

Jerry did a great job and was very reasonable in price. He's very knowledgeable and willing to do anything. We will definitely hire him again to do more projects around the house.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.



NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.
