Water leaked from the exterior of the house into the interior. The initial estimate was quite a but lower than the final cost, but there was more extensive damage than seen on first inspection. The final result left the house looking in its original state. I was pleased with their efforts and will use them again. read more

Misleading pricing. Over the phone, I was quoted $90 per hour with a two hour minimum for a total of $180. The day of, they arrived with two people and after the work was completed, they demanded $90 per hour per person. Given the high ratings, I expected a better experience. read more

We hired Handyman in DMV to replace a light fixture and two fans and to tighten our faucet. They arrived in the 1 hour window provided and worked diligently on our requests. Our 1940s house wiring can be a bit fragile but they were careful and did a great job! They even fixed a small leak under our sink that I had just noticed a day prior. Later that day I noticed the fan was a bit askew, when I reached out Handyman was eager to fix the problem and set up a time the following week that worked well for me. He was able to make the adjustment very efficiently. I highly recommend Handyman in DMV! read more

I was a bit skeptical about raving Yelp reviews of this business but yes, they are that good. Bill ( William) was responsive to the estimates reQuest, asked thank you Igor questions before accepting the job (my house is in the historic district). His crew arrived on time, worked two full days onn my kitchen ( tricky electrical connection of a new stooge hood, building a duct and a buckhead to cover it, hardwire a new dishwasher and moving electrical outlets. Great knowledgeable crew ( gave me gOod ideas to alter my initial design for the buckhead ) that did a good job, exactLy as I wanted it to be done. THe price is not the lowest but very reasonable for the quality of workmanship. The final invoice was in the same amount as in the estimate ( I did provide a detailed lIst of what needs to be done and we stuck to that list). I have had a bad experience with some other companies with five stars reviews on Yelp - you get a quite low estimate but whEn they start working, they find any possible "deviation" to inflate the final price and you end up paying twice. I will update this review to show the final product ( my completed kitchen). For now - pictures of the work in progress read more

We hired Handyman in DMV to move a junction box for a hanging kitchen light and install the light. Carlos arrived right on time and was very polite and professional. When we ran into an unexpected problem --there was a duct in the location where I wanted the light to--Carlos offered a solution I was happy with and everything turned out beautifully! A little bigger project than either of us anticipated, but he was efficient with his time and my house was left clean and in good condition. I'd definitely hire them again! read more

Responsible, Dependable, and Skillful! Handyman in DMV was attentive and responsive in making my appointment. He came within a reasonable time frame and was ready to work. I initially called to have my closet rack reinforced and a couple of small fix items redone. A floating shelf in the bathroom, a pantry hinge, and some.cosmetic work. My technician also assembled two queen-sized beds very quickly. William was very friendly. He had a small radio to.accompany him while he worked. He disposed of all of the packaging for the two beds. He kept me abreast of the time frame he needed to work in. Asked as he went along if there were other items for me to have fixed. He suggested that I may want to keep a running list of items for when he returns. I will be using them for a couple of more items by the end of this month. read more

We worked with William Lopez and his team on two separate projects: fixing the fallen shingles on our roof due to wind damage and installing gutter guards, as well as the replacement of the front entrance and garage doors in our home. Both times William responded to our inquiries within a couple of hours, came out quickly to evaluate the jobs, and provided us with fair and detailed estimates. I want to mention that we communicated with William via email and phone, his responses were always prompt, pleasant, clear and informative. He answered all of our questions. For both projects, William's crew came on time, worked efficiently and were able to get the work done within estimated hours. They are extremely polite, professional and clean. For the door replacement, they put up plastic covers along the wall to block dust and waste from entering our home. At the end of the day, they vacuumed and cleaned the work area and removed debris. The finished work is absolutely beautiful and completely meets our expectations. I have nothing but compliments for William, and I would highly recommend this team. I look forward to working with William in the future for our build and repair projects! read more

William, Bob, and Miguel were great! We had several projects my wife and I needed done around the home of various sizes including caulking our bathroom shower, hanging a large TV with sound bar, and hiding the wires inside the wall, as well as painting our Master bedroom walls, ceiling, and trim. The estimate turned out to be a little higher than we thought but the quality and efficiency of work performed by William and Miguel was fantastic. Overall the project only took the two men about two and a half days but on the last day we added in putting together a bunch of dressers we purchased from Ikea. The workers at this company really know what they are doing and the quality of workmanship is top notch. We will definitely plan to use them for future projects around the house. read more

They are very quick and efficient. They do a great job. I had them recaulk my bathtub and toilet.

I had an excellent experience with Bob and his team. I hired Handyman in DMV to resize a custom wood bed to fit in my new home. Bob discussed the project with me at length beforehand. His team showed up right on time, did quick and quality work, and even vacuumed my entire bedroom afterwards. They were super professional and I'm thrilled with the work. I'll be a customer for life! read more

Very pleased with their work, fair pricing, professionalism, customer service, and follow up. Convenient and reliable. Will definitely hire again. Miguel was great! Thank you! read more

Wonderful! These gentlemen were on time, professional, clean, quick and absolutely receptive to any and all requests I had regarding the project. I 100% recommend. thanks for completing the projects efficiently and well done. read more

Absolutely recommend!!! Super Professional, accommodating and friendly!!! They worked hard and accomplished all requested services and more.

I wish I could give this place negative stars. I got my garage celling fixed that fell, he came and "reinforced it" but it has only been a few months and it's falling apart. I have owned this house for over 15 years and I have never had such a horrible job done on my property. I tried to call him to come fix it but his customer service rep was very rude and said there is no guarantee after three months. It has been 5 months and I just noticed pieces on the floor. It's my garage so I do not look at the celling often but it's summer and the weather has been good. There is no reason his "reinforcements" to fall off after 5 months? I own this house, why would I pay to fix my celling for it to fall apart in a matter of months. His work didn't even last 6 months and he wants me to pay again. He will not even come look at the horrible mess that he has made. He wasted my money and time. I hope no one has to go through this!! Owning a house and fixing problems are difficult and dealing with horrible, crappy owners and handymen do not help. Your work should be guaranteed. It's a home not a skateboard. read more

Use this company! I have used them twice in the last 2 weeks for a variety of jobs thinking it is better to get a versatile handyman than a plumber, electrician and sprinkler system expert. William Lopez got right back to me and was able to schedule Miguel for my projects-- a leaky pipe, broken garage door opener and broken sprinkler system. Miguel arrived on time, kept me updated on his progress, and was creative in finding solutions to difficult challenges. He had to do some of his work in the midst of a small event going on at the house: he was respectful of the guests and had an overall wonderful manner about him. While I don't want anything else to break, I do know who to call when it does. read more

Been a longtime Handyman in DMV user, and they continue to impress. Miguel just installed an outlet in about 1/3 of the expected time and then quickly fixed a busted shower handle. I've used them for so many jobs, both big and small, that I expect the best from them. They definitely delivered today, and I continue as a loyal user. read more

The good Yelp reviews did not lead me astray. I had an excellent experience working with Bob and his crew. Work estimates were provided quickly and the workers who came out did an efficient and quality job of completing tasks. They did a handful of smaller projects for us that my husband and I could just never find the time to get around to doing ourselves. Bob also contacted multiple vendors to help us find some solid wood bifold closet doors that could be cut down to fit a non-standard sized closet in our older home. Some of the price quotes from vendors were much higher than expected, so he went above and beyond in helping us find an option in our budget. Overall, we are quite happy and will be using Handyman in the DMV for future handyman jobs! read more

Great communications from beginning to end. Initial inquiry was made on a Sunday and an appointment was scheduled for the next morning. Expected project was well documented in a written estimate and sent via email. Work was started and completed in two hours (one hour earlier than estimated which saved me $$). The technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and completed the work as expected. Payment was conducted over the phone to comply with social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Highly recommend. read more

I contacted Handyman in the DMV for basic woodworking repairs to my vintage, all wood art house. I was looking specfically for an experienced carpenter, and Handyman in the DMV responded to my inquiry as having such expertise. While they were very responsive, I soon found that expertise and effective communication were lacking. As a result, I ended up worse off than when we started. The two stars above are for responsiveness on the front end; everything else doesn't even register. Problems starting happening when the estimator failed to communicate to the two handymen what they would be doing and supplies needed. They showed up unaware, unprepared and unable to communicate effectively. Due to a language barrier, I found myself monitoring work and interpreting specifications all day, which is not something I had expected or planned to do. Further, one of the handymen's skills was clearly not public ready, yet he was assigned by the other to take on projects that required much more preplanning and knowledge. The end result for me was disastrous. Not only did projects not get done due to inexperience, other projects were made worse due to failure to preplan. When I raised these concerns with the owner (Will) he was not very understanding, but did finally agree to a small discount. It took several phone calls and emails before the $40 estimation fee was applied to my invoice. I was never shown the receipts for supplies, so have no idea if those were marked up and how much. I am now out hundreds of dollars and need to hire a real carpenter to fix the issues. If you need something simple done like installing premade shelves, kitchen tile or baseboard, I think these guys can do that. However, based on my experience, I would NOT recommend them for any technical work, electrical work, or any work on historic or vintage homes. read more

I reached out to Handyman in DMV after seeing the positive reviews on here and was able to schedule an estimate the week of, which I was happy about. I agreed to their terms of a $50 estimate fee which would be used as a deposit to go towards the work if I decided for them to do the the work. They performed the estimate and sent me the estimate via email on 10/15. They asked me to respond back via email if I wanted to go forward with their company and that they would reach out to schedule. I responded back immediately on 10/15, agreed to the terms of the estimate, and asked them to contact my tenant for scheduling. After my tenant has not been contacted for a week, I followed up again via email and via text on a number that I had previously contacted the company with, no response. I have called their phone number multiple times and left a voicemail, no response. It is clear that they did not have any intention of ever performing the work but instead just used the estimate fee as a cash grab. In my opinion this constitutes fraud and I hope no one else is tricked into their scam. I have requested a refund via venmo but am not anticipating getting it back. If I were you, I would certainly look elsewhere before hiring a handyman. Update on 11/2/20: I am thankful to receive a refund for my estimate fee. I just wish they would have been this quick to respond to my inquiry about them actually doing the work! read more

Called handyman in DMV about a job we need it done. After getting several quotes we decided to go with them. I don't know why I scheduled them to come out at 8 AM but they were here before that time. Henry the technician who worked on the toilet was very helpful, the only downside I would say was he needed to go back out and get some parts. But he was back very quickly once he had those parts from the local hardware store. I would recommend them for your quick jobs, in my mind the prices were very fair. read more

They did work for me earlier this year (dry wall repair and curtain rods). I recommend them 100%. I emailed with William Lopez, who set my appointment and they actually showed up early and finished that day. Great price and great service. read more

On time, on budget, and great final product. They are very responsive by email and over the phone. Their prices are reasonable and they stayed within the estimated cost. They scheduled me very quickly and came on time and completed the job successfully. I used them for a drywall crack repair and closet repair. read more

Handyman in DMV - Closet brackets and drywall repair - Handyman Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Search no more for a reputable handyman! This company provides excellent prompt courteous service and quality innovative work. I needed someone to first repair two holes in the drywall ceiling (kitchen and living room), due to long ago plumbing work.The second task I needed done was to repair/replace gaps in our roof's cedar shakes (squirrels or birds were trying to get inside. The third task was to inspect our sole gutter for proper operation. RESULTS: No visible trace that the holes were ever there (the technician Gilbert used custom color-matched paint). The shakes were nailed together where they were splitting or separated (or replaced with new shakes if necessary), vertically on the 4 problem roof corners.Plus, he replaced about a dozen shakes in the front which were warping upwards. I was satisfied with his gutter inspection and recommendations (accepting advice from my neighbor). Gilbert arrived about 9 AM each day, and worked a few extra hours in the afternoon. The estimate and final statement of work done was professionally prepared. The cost for the extra shake work was reasonable (copies of material receipts and labor log sheets were supplied). Handyman in DMV will definitely be who I contact for all my home maintenance and improvement needs in the future !! read more

Things started off ok but our estimate had to be rescheduled three times. The estimator was over 30 minutes late past the time he said he would arrive with no call. The estimator sent a proposal to which we responded and we still to this day have heard nothing back. I have been trying to call the main number for over a week now and leaving messages and no one has responded to me. read more

I chose Handyman in DMV because of their high rating on Yelp and the reviews said they did good work and offer great customer service. I cannot comment on their work, but I can comment on the poor customer service they offered. My exterior shutter fell off from the third floor of my townhouse and I needed person to re-install my shutter. I spoke to William and easily scheduled an appointment for Friday morning. It rained on Friday morning so I was expecting William to call to ask if we can reschedule for either another time in the day or for another day. To me, this is not a problem. I understand because it was raining and for safety reasons, it would be best if the technician scheduled it for later in the day when the rain would end or for another day. I called two hours after the scheduled appointment and explained that the technician did not show up and that I was ok with it because it was raining. I just wanted to know if the technician was coming in the afternoon when the weather would clear up or if he wanted to come on another day. He sounded surprised that the technician did not call to let me know he wasn't coming and to reschedule a time or date. William said that rescheduling for another day would be best and stated that the technician is free and could come on Sunday at 9 am. That was fine with me. No big deal. On Sunday, I waited for the technician. He never showed up. I called the office at 11 am just to get a status and when I could be expecting him. I ended up leaving a message. I did not get a call back that day. On Monday morning, William did leave a message and wrote an email apologizing about Sunday and said the technician was "delayed" so that is why he could not make it on Sunday. He did offer for the technician to come by Monday afternoon or later in the week to install my shutter. Whatever happened to calling and letting your customer know, "I can't make it today so can we reschedule?" It's very rude and unprofessional to just not show up. To me, this shows a certain degree of not wanting my business. To me, it is apparent that this company lacks courtesy and professionalism. If you are running late or if something comes up that you cannot make it and need to reschedule then I am fine with it as long as you call to let the customer know. At the very least, I expect that. Professionalism and courtesy goes a long way with customers, especially with first time customers. I'm sure they probably do good work. If professionalism and courtesy is what you are looking for, I would advise you to take your time and money elsewhere. read more

I used yelp to get an estimate on a few repairs we needed. Within two hours we had a reply. We called and had someone come out the next day. He was prompt, fixed everything quickly, and the prices were beyond reasonable. read more

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this contractor. I found them to be very unprofessional and their customer service to be poor. The business appears to be operating out of someone's home and they did not provide the type of customer service that you'd expect from a real corporate business. I contacted them for an estimate, and while they responded quickly, scheduling the date for an in-person visit required a lot of back and forth. Their phone line has something wrong with it; half the time the phone call doesn't go through. You have to keep calling to get the phone to connect. They took days to respond to emails and calls, or didn't respond at all. Eventually, the in-personal estimate was scheduled. I took time away from work to accommodate the visit, but 9 minutes AFTER their scheduled arrival time, they emailed me to say they were not coming due to illness. They did not call me. I just happened to check my email while I was waiting for them; I feel they should have called to reschedule due to the last minute nature of the change. The visit was rescheduled for the following week and they showed up. I was charged $50 for the estimate, which could be put toward the total cost of the job. I thought they'd do the job on the spot (since it was such a small, easy job), but they said no, they're only there for an estimate, which was unclear at the outset. They had to come back to do the job, which was a surprise. They sent a formal estimate a couple of days later and I said yes and asked to schedule the service appointment. They said they'd call to schedule but they never did. I tried to schedule the service appointment for 3 weeks. They did not respond to multiple calls (when I could get through) and multiple emails. Not even a courtesy notice to say they were busy, had a delay, or simply didn't want to do the job because it was too small and not worth their time (which was my suspicion). I had no choice but to give up and find another contractor. I requested a refund of the $50 deposit (via Venmo), which they refunded almost immediately without any question, which I interpreted as their admission that they simply didn't want to do the job but didn't have the professionalism to say that. I was just shocked by the lack of professionalism and lack of communication throughout the process. Buyer beware... read more

Handyman In DMV did a great job for me. From the beginning, to finish, the experience was superb. I called William last week to help me with patch up work in my house as I prepare to move, prior to my move out inspection by the landlord. William sent me an email after our conversation, confirming the appointment, increasing my confidence. He and his team came over, and were on site 10 minutes early, awaiting the work. I did not have to babysit them, or call them, or anything. They showed up exactly as planned, they did the work quickly and quietly, they did not leave a mess behind, and they did a great job covering holes in the wall, and blending the paint. They even followed up afterwards with a nice email and the final invoice for my records. This team is very squared away. I highly recommend this team, and I will indeed use them again. read more

Outstanding service from start to finish. They were super courteous and professional throughout and responded to emails and answered queries within minutes! They showed up exactly on time and fixed everything we tasked them with, including drywall, front door, gate, painting, carpentry, plumbing, floor, electrical work; all of this was fixed within a few hours!! They also bought all the items that were needed to fix these issues and shared the receipts with us so we reimbursed at cost price. Lastly, they were very reasonably priced charging $65/hr and the no. of hours they billed was accurate. I can't recommend them enough and I plan to use their service again. read more

I called Handyman DMV on 10/8 described the job which entailed replacing 2 pendant kitchen lights (fixtures only) with brand new ones. On 10/8 - same day I paid $50.00 for the "future" estimate. Estimator arrived at my residence on 10/12. On 10/15 I received an email from WILLIAM LOPEZ with details of the job/estimated cost and I stated I should reply to the email as written acceptance of the cost. I've sent several emails between 10/16 and 10/25 to find out when the job will be scheduled- NO RESPONSE. Somehow I knew during the initial call to this company this wasn't going to go as planned- What company asks the customer to pay upfront for an estimate and then later you'll receive a date/time for an in-person estimate??? I want my $50.00 dollars back!! SHADY... SHADY... SHADY - NEGATIVE Stars. read more

I'm not sure this company is legit. the person came out to give me a quote and charged me $50 for the visit. later gave me a quote that is very open-ended, I asked for a clarification, never heard back. so it cost me $50 for nothing. read more

I have not actually used them as yet, but the customer service is great. They responded immediately to my request and sent the estimator out to my house the next day. We will see how the actual service will be like... more to come. read more

I had a minor emergency when my wall mounted sink collapsed. These guys responded to my Yelp inquiry in about 10 minutes and got someone out to my house two hours later. He did the work in a little over two and a half hours, and it's beautiful. I will use them in the future. read more

William did an excellent job. He was very helpful in advising on how to make touch ups and repairs so they would look good and work best. You can tell he cares about the quality of his work. We would definitely hire him again! read more

I had arranged a visit for an assessment of an array of smaller jobs on windows, doors and in the kitchen. William visited on Sep 11. They provided a quote which I asked them to change a couple of times by dropping one job and adding others. I was ready to hire them end of September. I mailed and called them many times. They have not responded to me since. read more

I had a quartz bathroom vanity countertop that had to be removed and replaced with another one. William came right on time, two days after contacting them, and replaced with a different countertop within 2 hours! He was very nice, and the work was very nicely done. I would highly recommend them if you need anything done around your house. read more

We needed some last minute drywall repairs on a bathroom ceiling after an AC replacement. Finding someone who could do a smaller job within a week was tough but Handyman in DMV was able to get us a quick estimate and get the work done very quickly. Luis did a great job and was super nice. You'd never know there was a gaping hole in the bathroom! The rates were totally fair and we really really appreciated their efforts to get the work done quickly for us since we were right about to move. read more

I had some electrical work done today that left two large holes in my bathroom wall. I called Handyman in DMV and they were able to come out THE SAME DAY to repair the holes, drywall, paint, etc. While one layer of paint was drying William asked if there was anything else he could help with and ended up fixing two doors. I felt safe enough to leave him in my condo working while I went out to purchase a new doorknob down the street (one of the doors required it). He quickly installed it, finished painting the bathroom wall, and everything is good to go! I highly recommend William and Handyman in DMV for any repairs. read more

No-show. It took 10 emails to schedule with this company, which should have been all the warning I needed. Emails like "We will come on Thursday between 12-1 p.m." And then, the night before, "Confirming we will be there tomorrow at 8 AM." I waited at home for two hours (after we finally confirmed the time). No one showed up. I emailed to follow up, and the guy was rude, telling me it wasn't his fault that the earlier job took longer. Said that he might be able to come in another hour or two, like it was a favor to me. I told them not to bother. Their advertised rates are good, but only if you want to waste a lot of time and not know if they will show up. read more
