Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done. They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

David and his partner came to my apartment today to install a new deadbolt and to replace my garbage disposal, and they did phenomenal work. It's hard to find a reliable handyman who I'd want to call back for additional work, but I look forward to calling them in the future when I need more fix it work around my house.
To start, David gave me an up front quote and provided a three hour window for their arrival. They ended up showing up early, which was great as they were done before lunch (I was expecting them to show up towards the end of the window they stated like most service companies do, and to have to be at home all day). In terms of the quote, they were more than fair. They ended up having to do more work than I had originally asked for, and while they ended up charging me a bit more than we had originally discussed, the price was more than fair given the additional scope of work.
The garbage disposal: I thought I had done the correct research and purchased an appropriate replacement for my garbage disposal. The one I had chosen had a power cord with a plug, and I thought it was removable (my existing disposal was hard wired in). Turns out the power cord was permanently attached to the disposal, and that I needed to install an outlet under the sink to plug it into. When David walked me through this, I was disappointed because I figured we would have to reschedule. But they were prepared! After I agreed to the additional installation work, David and his partner walked to their truck and walked back with all of the materials needed to install the new outlet (new outlet, gangbox, etc.). After completing the installation, they tested the garbage disposal and gave me some tips on how to best maintain it going forward.
The deadbolt: I was originally planning to replace my existing deadbolt, but I live in a condo building, and due to the way the original locks were installed, they couldn't be replaced. David and his partner recognized this immediately when they saw my door, explained the problem, and gave me an alternate solution. Truth be told, I had requested quotes from several locksmiths before going with Capitol Handyman, and while one of them mentioned that my lock couldn't be replaced, they weren't able to explain to me why nor did they offer an alternative, so I assumed they just didn't have the experience needed to complete the job. David was patient in his explanation and was very clear about what he could and couldn't do. I watched David and his partner install the new lock, which required cutting through a metal door, and it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. The new lock looks great!
To close out the job, they swept up all of the metal filings and trash that accumulated during their work. I ended up giving them a tip on top of the quoted amount, and they tried to give the tip back!
It's hard to find a handymen who are honest, high quality, and reasonably priced. But I can confidently say that Capitol Handyman checks all the boxes!

We had James replace 2 of our old toilets with the new low flow toilets. James did a fantastic job at a more than reasonable price. We will definitely call him for other projects around the house.

We just recently replaced our furnace, Hvac compressor, hot water heater and put on a brand new deck in our back yard. Everything went amazingly smooth. Carlos was the upmost professional and very responsive to our questions and requests. We ended up adding on additional work at the end because he did such a great job with the initial contract. Without hesitation- I would recommend C&S to anyone looking to do any home improvement. He does it all and does it all very well!

If I ever have the need for a handyman, I will only reach out to Luis for his services. He is very knowledgeable and reasonable with his prices. I needed an exhaust fan and didn't know which one to pick, Luis gave me great useful information so that I can purchase the right one for him to install. Thank you Luis!

Excellent service, courteous workers. Came right on time, repainted our deck rails, fixed a soffit and repaired and repainted two back doors that we're rotting a little.
We thought the price was reasonable and he even left us with little cans of the leftover paint they used.
We'd definitely use them again.

My main sewer line backed up into my basement. My regular plumber snaked the line, but recommended I hydro-jet it also, which is a service he did not offer and would have to sub out with a markup.
I found these guys on Yelp and got in touch via email. First, they respond as quickly as they promise. They responded to my original email, and follow up emails, almost immediately. And when I called, they answered the phone right away. We booked the service for the following day, and they called when they were on their way and arrived right on time. When dealing with a potentially serious plumbing issue, responsiveness is incredibly important to me.
Second, Diego and John are incredibly friendly and polite. They explained their pricing up front so there were no surprises, and it was far more competitive than what my plumber would have charged to sub out the work. They were incredibly neat, covering the floor with tarps, wiping down all the lines going into and out of the drain, using booties when they entered the house, and they left the work area cleaner than they found it.
Third, they know what they are doing. They are organized and efficient, and did the work in a professional manner.
Fourth, their equipment is top of the line. The ran a camera through my pipe several times - before, during and after the jetting. The camera image was crystal clear, and much better than what my original plumber used. I was able to look over their shoulders at the monitor and they explained everything they saw, what they were doing and what needed to be done.
Fifth, the work was completed in a timely and cost-effective manner to my total satisfaction. They blasted off decades of scale buildup and other residue in the line, taking off rough edges, and smoothing and opening the line so there are no areas that might cause a clog. They left my sewer line in much better shape than when they found it.
I could not recommend Hydo-Rooters more highly.

Lee Diaz has a very capable crew, with a wide range of skills. Over the course of a year or so, we hired his team to perform a number of jobs, ranging from masonry and concrete work to paint and trim work, all performed delicately. Lee has quite a full schedule and does all his team's scheduling himself, but he still made time for daily on-site check-ins to ensure proper lines of communication were present, and progress was made at a good pace. His pricing was consistently affordable, and both the quality and speed of work was well above the standard set by competitors. I highly recommend working with him.
