Prompt, with good communication. Was able to trouble shoot and fix what needed to be repaired. Will hire Maryam again if needed.

Our family was very happy with Maryam and Charles' work. The two of them combined have a wide range of skills and knowledge. If you are looking for quality work, an honest and mutually respectful relationship, and reasonable pricing, MCCS is the way to go. read more

Miryam was fantastic! I had an Emergency bed repair that needed to be taken care of right away. Within 12 hours, she had someone there. She was incredibly kind and understanding. I highly recommend using her for any repair you may encounter! read more

Maryam is great at her job.  She assembled some complicated furniture for me and did it even though the instructions were written in a confusing way.  Her fee was extremely reasonable and she gave me an instant quote over the phone after I sent her a photo from the instructions manual.  I was so impressed I added money to the original quote.  It was well worth it just to finally have the furniture put together.  This is a true review! read more

We needed someone experienced with Ikea cabinets to complete a time sensitive job. Maryam could have put them together with her eyes closed (I'd still be trying to get past step 3). I definitely called the right person. Very professional, meticulous, honest and fair priced. Maryam exceeded our expectations and stayed late to ensure the job was done on time and the right way. I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your projects. We will be calling her again for our next project. read more

Tried to get a quote for the work my inspection report came back with on the house I am closing on in less than 2 weeks so I can get it done ASAP. I received the email asking for the document but never received a quote back...this was over a week ago. (And yes, I sent the email as it is in my sent folder. No, I did not follow up because it is not my job to make sure a business I reached out does their due diligence in actually responding. Maybe the company should follow up if they are expecting details and don't receive them...check your spam?) If they don't pay attention to people wanting to book their business, I can only imagine how they'll treat you once they have it. If you decide to use this company, best of luck! I'll never try to use them nor refer them in the future. I dislike being ignored for my business. read more

Maryam is the best. Very efficient, definitely knows what she's doing, and the price was reasonable. I would not hesitate to hire MCCS again. They wore masks the entire time, and were just very pleasant. read more

I was looking for someone to redo some mildewed caulking in a shower stall in my old rental that I was moving out of. I used Yelp to ask for quotes from a few different handyman services, and Maryam from MCCS was one of the first to respond with an actual quote and availability! She was spot-on with her estimate of how long the caulking job took, and they did a fantastic job. It looks good as new, and better than when I moved in! I no longer have to worry about my landlord dipping into my security deposit to have it fixed. With as easy as it was to contact them for a quote, and as good as the finished job was, I definitely would recommend contacting MCCS if you need work done around the house! read more

Excellent service, very responsive and reliable. They put together a swing set in my back yard. Inquired a lot of handyman services on Yelp but MCCS responded in a few hours and gave a very reasonable quote for the entire job, no hidden charges. 'Jim the handyman' on yelp wanted me to read through the entire manual and estimate how long it would take him for the job as he charges $85 an hour. It would have taken him 3 days and cost twice the value of the actual swing set... ridiculous! MCCS had 3 people putting it together in 1 day, they worked through the night until it was complete. They are 100% responsive with competitive rates. I have no hesitation in hiring them again. read more

MCCS - Handyman Near Me

They are probably the best contractor team I've ever worked with! Flexible, honest and perfectionists, it's hard to find folks willing to do any and all odd jobs. They've installed a ceiling vent in my bathroom, redone poorly installed tire floors from a previous contractor (at no additional charge after initial trips) and a bathroom vanity sink. With an honest perspective on jobs, reasonable pricing and dedicated to doing the job done right, I highly recommend them! Thanks! read more

Maryam and Charles installed my TV bracket and a mirror this Sunday and they were awesome. On time, courteous and everything looks great. Plus, I changed my mind on where to hang the bracket after it was done and they were super accommodating. Will definitely use again soon. So happy to have this connection for future handyman needs at a reasonable price. read more

I have used MCCS twice now. I have been happy with the work both times. She is quick to respond and a good worker. I am sure I will be using her again. Her prices are fair too. read more

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Within 5 minutes of requesting a quote, I received a warm response and very fair quote. MCCS was able to complete the job within 2 hours of her initial response. It was a small job but it was completed superbly! Couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

I recently moved into a townhouse and was looking for a handyman service to help fix up some appliances. MCCS did a fantastic job of responding promptly and being able to schedule something that worked with me. I purchased the wrong sized lightbulbs and they went out if their way to go it Home Depot and purchase the right size (mind you this was during the first snowy/rainy conditions). Everyone was respectful, friendly, and extremely helpful. I will definitely use their services again for any future repairs I'll need! read more

First of all take note other businesses they accept electronic payments ie zelle. Perfect for me because I hired for a rental property and didn't want to have to drive somewhere to pay. Very responsive, easy to schedule , actually agreed to come early since they finished earlier job on time. Would recommend for any maintenance needed. read more

Timely and affordable - they came out and got my disposal working like it should - will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks Maryam and Charles! read more

We used MCCS to install our new play set. Maryam was super responsive from the very first quote request and was quick to reply to questions. We were able to quickly book an appointment to install the very next day. She reached out and asked if she could come the night before to set up. She got everything ready in our backyard so that she and her team could get started first thing the next day. They worked all day (it was big undertaking) and did an AMAZING job. The play set looks great, is very secure, and is completely leveled. Her price was also extremely reasonable. The team was efficient, professional, and nice. I would recommend MCCS to any of my friends. So glad I found them on here. read more

These guys did a phenomenal job. They were highly motivated, highly skilled, and very knowledgeable in their craft. I will definitely use them again if I ever need repairs done. I had a leaky wall in an upstairs bathroom that had damaged the drywall of the ceiling below. Another big name company (which shall not be named) quoted me at over $1,000 just to replace the faucet, they wouldn't do the drywall or replace tile that had to be removed. I initially contacted MCCS just to do the drywall and tile, but they were able to do everything (put in a new faucet, replace the wall and tile behind the faucet, and put up a new drywall ceiling) for under $1,000. Very glad I found these guys before the other company ripped me off. Hopefully I won't need to do any more repairs any time soon, but if I do I know that MCCS will have my back. Can't give them enough praise! read more

MCCS was tasked with redoing a small bathroom and install a shower door. After improperly measuring for form and fit, they installed tiling in which no standard door would ever fit. They left holes in the tile they installed after trying to fit a standard frame. Rather than fixing their work, they came up with a plethora of excuses and abandoned the project after I had paid them in full, and in good faith. I am now suing in small claims for incurring cost to repair the damaged tiles that will cause leeks, and a custom shower frame that will be required at greater than twice the cost. Given their track record, I have opted to file a report to their licensing authority to ensure future consumers do not suffer a similar fate. read more

Maryam and MCCS are completely professional and knowledgeable. I just needed an IKEA chest of drawers put together for my kids' room. Not only did she provide me with an affordable price, but she and her partner were very quick, and the drawers turned our perfectly. Maryam is so experienced with these things that she even gave the suggestion to attach the drawers to the wall or baseboard with a latch because those particular drawers are known to fall over when you open them. VERY important as I have two young ones. She added this with no additional cost or haggle. Thank you MCCS - I will be using your services again! read more

Maryam never sent me a quote for the work we needed. I will always give 1 star to any business that is unresponsive. We had 3 different jobs to be done but hey, I guess they have better things to do. Responsiveness is a major key in the remodeling industry. read more

Maryam and Charles are great. Quick response, time, affordable, quality. I needed a help to assemble the new desk, bookshelf and curtain rods. They came on time. After they finished I also asked them to make a hole on my wall for the wall art. They did a few additional things and didn't charge me. I would definitely recommend. read more

Showed up in under 24 hours to mount 2 TVs. Took about 2 hours and Maryam worked thru mounting issues professionally and did a neat excellent job. i would certainly use her services again. Price was competitive at $170. read more

I guess it depends on her mood. I've attempted to hire her for 3 different jobs, she's only actually completed one. The first one was to put together a kitchen island. That took over 5 hours by herself and 1 more hour after her partner arrived and joined her. But it was a job well done ultimately. While she was at the house for that job I showed her a crack we had in our bathtub and she said that it needed to be fixed asap and she would send me a quote to do it. I never heard from her and when I contacted her she said she wasn't going to get to it. Ok, so much for this thing that needed to be fixed right away. A while later I bought a small shed that my husband and I were going to put together ourselves but since we were exhausted from our diy backyard remodel we thought we'd outsource it. She said she could do the job that week so I didn't shop around for others to do it and also anticipated having the shed finished so I could put away tools laying in the driveway before company came that weekend and had to park in that driveway. She came about 45 mins late and started the job. Then it started to rain. I expected her to come back the next day to finish the job she started but I never heard from her. Finally I reached out to her explaining that I had anticipated having this done in time for company and she said well I should get someone else. Not even that she couldn't do it by the weekend but could finish the job she started later. I was like whatever. Hopefully you'll catch her when she's in the mood to fix or assemble whatever you need. But don't anticipate her being a reliable go-to person who is interested in your recurring business. Update: The response from the business is just a repetition of the facts I've already stated. These aren't conflicting accounts. I don't know why she would say I wanted her to work in the rain. That's ridiculous. I guess the best defense for businesses is to paint the client as demanding and unreasonable. I just wanted her to *come back* and finish the job she started and agreed to, an agreement that prevented me from making other arrangements. Yes I had a time when I preferred to get it done by and *asked* if they could come early. If the answer was no (which she did not readily communicate. I had to be the one to keep reaching out) she should have said so and we would have worked something out. But who completely abandons a job they have already started?? When a client is already depending on you. If you said you would come back and finish the job why wouldn't you honor that? So now the parts are all over the driveway outside in the rain and wind where they left them instead of being in the box where it would have been until someone could finish the job. The point is this business will come through for you intermittently but it is not at all to be considered a reliable business. This is the same complaint of other reviewers who have tried to give them recurring business. They are not going to be your go-to reliable handyman but they are good if you can catch them for one job. Second update: I see the business has updated their response to pretty much lie and be judgmental (I'm a woman and I *live* in my neighborhood). Smh. I downgraded my rating because their original response included inaccuracies about my husband that he got very upset about. It seems now I did the right thing. I usually don't go back and forth on yelp reviews like this but we feel very strongly about the lack of professionalism we were the victim of. We are worse off than when we called this business. Anyway good luck all who choose to proceed. read more

I forgot to do this review when we have the service back in April. Maryam came to see the work in a day or two and she was very quick to provide the quote which was very reasonable. And I got about three quotes in total. They did the job in a day which was replacing the railing in my front porch. All in all, really good service. And they were very nice and polite. read more

We've worked with a lot of contractors, but Maryam and Charles are one of the best. They built and installed all of our IKEA kitchen cabinets, which are not easy! They also helped with some furniture assembly, and we're having them back soon to update our bathrooms. We are very particular, but they asked questions and helped troubleshoot problems. They're reliable, honest, fairly priced and kept us updated on the project. I definitely recommend this team to others! read more

***Buyer Beware*** Very poor workmanship and non professionalism. Like a few of the reviewers, I read all the positive reviews and decided to call Maryam at MCCS. I really question the pictures and the positive reviews for this company. I needed to get some drywall, flooring, bathroom and paint work done in my house. The initial project was supposed to finish in one week with paying half upfront and supplies and the remainder half when the renovation was completed per expectations. My girlfriend and I was assured that Maryam and her crew (turns out to be her boyfriend Charles and her) would have everything completed perfectly and that my bottom floor would be a brand new room. They underbid the competition so we decided to go with them. About a week into it her the work became more sporadic as was stretched out as Maryam bickered that Charles had some family issues that he couldn't perform the work. 1 week became two and the supplies cost more that doubled. I believe they purchased extra to be used for future jobs. Typically when you hire a handyman you don't have to pay for his tools and there were receipts that included these items. Speaking about receipts, I asked Maryam to send them to me and unprofessionally she send me countless duplicates and her match several times didn't add up correctly. I had to correct her calculations several times. Towards week three we kept having to address the same issues of the drywall, paint and grout not looking right with paint drips, rough surfaces, and bathroom vanity tile falling off and not lined up correctly. Workmanship issues became more evident with all the imperfections in the walls and paint and unprofessionally they were reactive and didn't proactively address the issues. They even tried to add charges that was not authorized for example charging $50 to plug in a fire alarm that already had a clip harness that takes 2 minutes to install or a $50 charge to add a bead of grout. Maryam at MCCS may initially come across as a lower bidder but buyer beware as she will try to add the charges in other ways to try to nickel and dime you. When they say something is included they will do the work and then add a made up charge to the bill. This was by no means a small project nearly 10K and for anyone installing anything other than a swing set I would recommend going with a handy man service that uses contracts and has a proven track record in doing the work that is requested. We even so far as to provide food for them while they worked and put away our dogs due to the whining and chaos of all the banging and noise till late at night. Lastly, I was asked to take a pencil & circle the areas that needed work ( shown in pictures) but they seen no fault with their poor workmanship. Currently they have chosen not to acknowledge the circled work and complete the work professionally and next steps are being taken. She had her boyfriend threaten me that I better pay the remainder of the balance even when the work wasn't done to professional completion (see pictures) Charles quoted false figures ( so I'm not sure what was in truth shown to him on estimate ) how he would let everyone know how a bad person and they would make false claims in their return comment and that they would deny that I paid for services that they deny that they told me walls would be perfect was that I bad person etc. Rather than a sane contractor that would take pride in their work and fix the issues they find excuses to perform work as agreed. You truly you don't want these people in your home. read more

Did a really great job painting three accent walls for us and in such a quick time! I would highly recommend for any painting projects in the DMV area. read more

Had a great experience. Maryam installed backsplash and replaced the my kitchen flooring. She provided great advice about a tile I had wanted to use (it would have elevated my dishwasher too much for it to function properly), and found a great replacement that looked nearly identical. The work came out great. read more

Prompt reply, easy communication, reasonably priced and quick service. Highly recommend!

Maryam responded very quickly to my request for someone to assemble a sofa and a bed. She quoted me a very reasonable price, and then she & Charles showed up that EVENING so that I could get a good night's sleep! They are very smart, very efficient, and know what they're doing. I will be using them again in the next week or so, and without hesitation I give them my highest recommendation! read more

I was very pleased with my experience. Mariam was very quick to respond and the rate she gave me was very reasonable, especially that most contractors will give you an hourly rate and never really tell you how long it will take them to do the work. I was in a hurry to get the work done so Mariam was able to come in the evening and work late. I had a couple pieces missing to fix one of the doors and I was worried that they wouldn't be able to finish up. Mariam went to the store that night and picked up what was needed to finish the job. They honored the original quote they gave me and worked until 10:30PM. I also appreciated the fact that they cleaned up after themselves. Next time I need anything done I am definitely calling them back. read more
