Dependable, Professional, &....Efficient! I have hired MCCS on two occasions now and both have been great experiences. The first job was a fancy faucet upgrade and plumbing job in the kitchen. The second was a basement lighting, electrical and garbage disposal replacement job. Both jobs were handled quick, fast, competently and with the best attention to detail. Initially, during the first visit, I was a bit nervous about hiring a handyman service for the job given I had bought a very expensive faucet and didn't want just anyone to screw it up. I figured a "big" plumbing company was the way to go, until I got their ridiculous quote for the job! In steps MCCS. MCCS handled the job like a pro, with no issues or damages/scratches to the faucet, cabinets or granite countertops....and at half the cost in comparison. During the last visit, Maryam performed the work herself and truthfully, I was amazed with her technical skill and knowledge to jump from completing plumbing work to figuring out a couple of electrical issues all in the same visit. As a small minority-women owned business, Maryam and her team has been a pleasure to work with. The communication and response time is fair and this is one company that has stayed consistent and on-time when scheduled. On both occasions, Maryam tends to get back to you the same day with a quote/response and schedule your work at your convenience. In all, MCCS gets 10 Stars if Yelp allowed. I have nothing but good things to say about their services and professionalism for being such a small company. Given how hard it is to find dependable people and competent handyman services in the DMV......let's just say......MCCS will be my "go to" when in need for home repair/contracting services for sure! read more

Maryam is my newest favorite! I called her in the morning and she made it to my neck of the woods in a few hours. Excellent service and overall wonderful person. Looking forward to bugging her with many more projects! read more

Maryam was competent and did everything I asked her to do in my house. Also, she's responsive and on time. I wouldn't hesitate to call her again. read more

Maryam, Came out to put in a new garbage disposal. We also asked her to look at our outside lighting. We ended up doing both, got a referral for another job. She even went and sourced the light fixtures for us! We have plans to get additional work done over the next several months! She is responsive, knowledgeable and shared her extensive knowledge. We highly recommend her services. read more

Maryam is AMAZING! She made my vision for my spare room come alive! I purchased a 2x4 from Home Depot, spray painted it (untreated) the night before Maryam was scheduled to install it as an accent piece the following day. She arrived promptly the next day and proceeded to install a mostly damp 2x4 it was so messy! We discussed my makeover for my spare room in detail. She noticed I removed 90% of a ceiling fan and offered to remove the remaining parts. I told her my new fan would arrive in a few days without hesitation Maryam said "I'll install it." Long story short- she's AMAZING!! Extremely Fair, Honest, Trustworthy, Considerate and more importantly a Kind person. read more

Maryam at MCCS is fantastic! We utilized her services to prepare our home to put it on the market. She painted the entire home, repaired our closet and a few other nicks here and there in the time frame requested and with much professionalism. We are super happy with the service and the product and highly recommend her for your projects! read more

Maryam from MCCS did an amazing job hanging pictures in my "She Den" as well as provided helpful aesthetic feedback regarding placement of the pictures to ensure a proper flow. She assembled two desks where one did not have instructions and the other had very limited instructions. She figured it out and they look great. She installed curtain rods in my daughters' room and my office and even hung the curtains which I told her she didn't have to do. Everything looks 10 times better in our home, thanks to her. Very responsive and pays close attention to detail. In addition, her prices were very reasonable. I will definitely enlist her services again! read more

Maryam was awesome! She installed a backyard discovery thunder ridge playset for us and sealed it as well. She was very knowledgeable and communication was excellent! She was always available by phone and via text, and I was so appreciative of that. The playset was assembled beautifully and she also leveled it well to our ground. The playset does not wobble at all and I can trust that my kids can enjoy it safely. Thank you! read more

Maryam is the best and not only a perfectionist, but she created something from a picture that was custom for us. We needed window boxes to protect our partially below ground basement windows, as we had a situation with water running in from a bad rain a few times. She knocked it out of the park and then some! Her work speaks for itself and you know she will do any job the way you need it done. I can't recommend her enough and can't wait to have her do more work we need in our house to make sure it's done right! read more

Maryam and Charles have come back several times to work on additional projects. Love them. They are very punctual, reasonably priced, and know their limits. When and if they can't do the job themselves they have a very good network of referrals (for more complicated electrical or plumbing work, for example). Most recently they came out to install a shower door, upgrade some outlets and switches, and swap light fixtures for us. When I hired them years ago I didn't realize they took on more complex projects like kitchen cabinet install, tile/flooring, and bathroom remodeling. I wish I had known! They did an awesome job on my neighbor's kitchen (there are pics on Yelp of the very hip, mid century minimalist design) and my neighbor is an architect by trade. I definitely recommend their work and professionalism. Over and over again. read more

It is with regret that I am posting this 1 star review - we hired Mariam and Charles for A LOT of work.. tile 4 different bathrooms, back splash kitchen, light installation and wall mount various things. Like other negative reviews mentioned, the work quality and punctuality depends on if she feels like working or not. Showing up on a scheduled time is rare - something usually comes up, and the original scheduled time needs to be pushed up or later. The constant changing of times make planning everything else super difficult. Anyways, but things do eventually get done.. even when they are finished no where near the promised time window and sometimes with terrible workmanship. So why only 1 star? Mariam and Charles gutted and retiled two bathrooms about 3 months ago, Mariam came back 2 or 3 times to fix cracked caulking (property was vacant, so caulk had plenty of time to dry). Well, last night water ran down from one of the newly retiled bathroom to the dining room ceiling below. Our new handyman dug up all the caulking around the bathtub, and most of the caulking are wet. The toilet installed on top of the new tiles was also leaking water into the floor. The only reason we decided on the bathroom renovation was to prevent leaks. Their sub par workmanship, after only 3 months, caused more issues than preconstruction. I'm very disappointed with this latest development. P.s. Mariam will spin her inability to perfect a job to customer with unrealistic expectations. If I paid several hundred for caulking bathrooms, I expect the caulk not to have cracks and leak after a few weeks. Edit - as I predicted, Mariam attacks my character and excuses rather than owning up to her crap ass job done. We recommended MCCS to 2 friends, and both friends would never hire or recommend them either. Friend 1 hired them for a full bathroom renovation, MCCS forgets to put in a water seal under the new shower pan, so after the first shower, water leaked to the floor below. Not to mention, the job took 3 months to complete. Friend had to hire someone else, to basically redo the entire shower. Crap ass job done Mariam. Friend 2 hired them to put in a glass shower door, MCCS drilled into the shower tiles incorrectly, and had to redo. But they failed to let the homeowner know they made a booboo.. rather just collected the cash and left. If you want a handyman to may or may not show up, do a half ass job.. go ahead and hire this company. Look through my pictures of their past jobs.. I'm not picky - they are just amateurs. read more

They did such a great job helping me assemble my furniture for my new home. They were done in less than 2 hours and had helped me: 1. Move furniture up from my packaging room to my apt. 2. Unbox and assemble furniture. 3. Set up my rooms. 4. Break down all of the boxes and get rid of them as well as other trash from packaging. Highly recommend them, and will use them again in the future. Please see photos attached! read more

Maryam installed 4 ceiling fans for us and she was amazing! She was very responsive when I contacted her and she was also very reasonable. MCCS will be our go-to handyman service from now on! Thank you Maryam!!! I'd give you 10 stars if I could read more

Maryam did a great job with the couple projects we needed to finish up before moving into our new home. She fixed an issue with a toilet, installed a new kitchen faucet, fixed the plumbing under the sink, and installed a new garbage disposal, and all for a fair price. She was also able to work with our timeline, and came two days after we called, which was greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her. Last, it's great to be able to support a female and veteran owned business! We will certainly be reaching back out to her as other projects come up. read more

We were in the process of clearing our home for sale, and had a couple of bed frames that needed to be disassembled. One in particular frame, that we were donating to my sister, needed to be disassembled and reassembled in her third floor apartment. Honestly, I thought that one detail might lead to some haggling or hesitation. To our surprise, Maryam and her install team showed up and completed the job in record time (maybe a little over an hour). If that wasn't enough, Maryam noticed some spots on our walls that needed some compound, and voluntarily applied compound/sanded. She even gave a great recommendation for "spot" paint treatment (hint: use little paint kit roller). Thank you Maryam, and the MCCS team. We will definitely reach out for future projects. read more

Maryam and Charles helped me replace an old, outdated shower valve through a hole the size of a Delta cover plate (seen in the picture) without having to tear down the shower wall or cut out a large opening. I did not want to rebuild/retile the wall. I talked to several plumbers and handymen who were either clueless about this cost-effective cover plate fix or refused to work in such a tight space. One other plumbing service was willing to do the job for 750$-850$. Maryam, on the other hand, understood exactly what I wanted done and had experience with similar projects using remodeling/repair cover plates. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. Moreover, she was able to get it fixed for a reasonable price. They arrived on time. It wasn't an easy job - not only was the opening super tight but there was another set of copper pipes and a valve adjacent to the one that needed to be replaced - he had to be careful not to sweat those by mistake. The plumber, Mr. Nick Gray, was skilled and efficient - at times he had to troubleshoot and improvise - he managed to sweat the pipes safely through that small opening you see in the picture and make the connections properly. It took him over three hours - he was patient and got the job done satisfactorily. The cost was super reasonable and I will definitely use their services for other projects around the house. - PF read more

I couldn't be happier on the response, professionalism, detail explanation, responsive attitude of Maryam at MCCS. She was able to knock out my punchlist while we were getting ready to handover the house. Very very good experience and she's also a good adviser on certain aspects of things. read more

Maryam and her team did an amazing job. Her communication before and during the project was excellent. Her execution on the day was amazing, she problem solved a few missing parts, and made adjustments to the plans as needed. At the end of the day she was very fairly priced.

MCCS provided the most seamless contractor experience I've had in the last 10 years. I've had such bad experiences that I've been reluctant to have too much done to my current home just to save myself the headache. When I decided to paint my living room for the fall, I was prepared for the ill-scheduled estimate visits, outrageous quotes, and frustrating communication. I got all of that from most companies but Maryam offered none of the above. She responded to my request for a quote within hours, gave me a great price, and communicated exactly what was needed on my part. When I had my other house painted, I practically lived with those painters for a week. Maryam and Charles came, prepped, and completed the job in a matter of hours, all while I was at work and handling other business. I couldn't be more pleased with this painless experience & will definitely be calling on their services again in the near future. read more

My good table was scratched:(((( This job really required two people, instead of one. Therefore, it took a very long time to assemble the kitchen island, and it was very loud. A lot of banging and dropping tools and parts. Nice assembly, although I did have to call out a part that was incorrectly installed, and price, but poor bedside manners. She laid her tools all over my 700.00 table and scratched it :(( I hate to write this, but really, one must be careful with another persons items. read more

After being turned down by a-lot of contractors because they said the "job was not worth they money", I was able to get introduced to Maryam. I had a business manager tell me that no business with a good reputation would take on such a small job just in case something goes wrong and they are given a bad review. He then called me back and said he will do it for $200.(NO WAY MAN). He said I wont be able to find anyone and that I may as well do it myself. Maryam-She was very patient with me and was able to help me with my project and was finished in under an hour. She understood what I was facing and gave absolutely no judgement. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me. I have referred them to my mother in law for a large house project soon to come. Thank you. read more

Another stellar project! Great communication that exceeded my expectations. When the project was completed it looked great!

We needed to install a dog door and Maryam/Charles were amazing. We had a wall-mounted dog door that needed to be installed, in addition to building a small staircase on the other side of the wall. She came the next day and stayed until the job was completed. Very creative and solutions-oriented. I would 100% refer her and have kept her contact information for future projects around the house. read more

Great work, great prices, professional and most importantly, great communication. Maryam and Charles installed backsplash in our kitchen and renovated our half bath.

We hired Maryam for a two-day project that included a vanity removal/install, dry-wall repair, interior painting, faucet and doorknob install. She did amazing job in just a short period of time. Maryam was a true professional and we will definitely hire her again for additional repairs and interior remodeling in the future! read more

The team did a great job installing a baby gate in our new home. They were incredibly professional, did amazing work, and came in at a great price point. They were even kind enough to explain the ins-and-outs of the repair so I knew what I was doing in the future. Also, I know some reviewers had mentioned the responsiveness of MCCS was less than stellar, but I found them to be super responsive. Maryam wrote back to my quote request within a few hours AND was able to do the installation the same day. I will absolutely be using them again!! read more

Love Maryam. It's like she got in my head about things to fix or change around my home. We have long term projects together!

MCCS was such a pleasure to work with! I hired MCCS to make small repairs in a condo unit that hasn't been updated since the 1970s (caulking in kitchen and fixing cabinets) and they also re-did the bathroom after discovering a leak in the shower. Hands down the best experience I've had working with contractors/handymen. Excellent communication, clear pricing and all work was completed quickly! I wasn't able to be there to supervise the project in person so Maryam was super helpful by sending text/picture updates. MCCS also helped me work through the design and overall functionality of the bathroom while staying within budget. I highly recommend Maryam and her team and plan to work with them again when it's time to re-do the kitchen. read more

I needed my townhome painted and not only did they paint, they fixed the screen doors, installed a faucet and new flooring. Very professional!! I would hire them again in a heartbeat! read more

We wish we could give Maryam and Charles a higher rating as they did several projects for us. The consistent issue is lack of reliability. They were late appointment and never rescheduled after cancelling an appointment last month. They did a great job hanging our artwork and a couple of cabinets and are pleasant in person. When we asked them earlier today why they never got back in touch. Their response was that a phone was lost. ??my replacement phone saved texts and numbers on the cloud and a business should have backup information. read more

Maryam and Charles are great. We just moved here from Hawaii, and Maryam worked with me long before I got here to develop a plan to renovate an investment unit we bought and would be living in until our house was finished being built. We painted the entire loft, changed the flooring to a luxury laminate, hung artwork, changed our bathroom fixtures, changed the Kitchen fixtures, changed a fan, changed all the lighting, wall mounted at Desk, changed out the backsplash tile in the bathroom, and hung floating shelves in the bathroom. They did a bunch of the stuff while we were living there and they kept the condo very clean everyday as they left. On top of all that, their prices are really good. They spend a good amount of time on attention to detail and making sure you are happy. I recommended them for your home improvement jobs. read more

I thought I needed some locks replaced on my windows. Maryam picked up some new locks for me, but once she inspected the locks found that they didn't need to be replaced but just realigned to better fit the locking mechanism. She charged much lower than her original quote which was already cheap! She was fast and efficient and I will definitely use her for smaller projects in the future! read more

After reading all the positive reviews of this company I was really hoping for a much more positive experience. However that was not to be. First, MCCS was extremely difficult to get ahold of and you have to wait very long to get responses to your messages; they refuse to take phone calls. Next, they did a sloppy initial job fixing caulk and grout in a bathtub and with painting two rooms. I am only giving them a second star because they at least offered to do a second round of touch ups following my complaints. Unfortunately that job was also less than ideal and then they left without thoroughly cleaning up. Very frustrating. Needless to say, I don't recommend this company for applying sealants or painting. I think most folks have had a better experience with their furniture assembly and handyman work so those services may be their strong suits. read more

Maryam and Charles have been our go to professionals since we moved to our condo in DC. They were recommended by our neighbors and have not failed us. So far they have helped build our patio pergola, built a beautiful faux brick wall for our family room, helped built our baby room and all the furniture that goes with it, and also built our master room bedroom. They always have good prices as well. My parents just bought a place and they are now using them for their renovations. Highly recommend them. read more
