Capitol Handyman

David was a valuable resource during my condo renovation. He knows how to fix a wide range of issues-from plumbing to drywall to electrical fixtures. He was flexible when unexpected issues came up and improved many of the features that are hard to see. His pricing is upfront and honest, and he works hard to meet his price estimates.

I contacted David on a Sunday to inquire what the cost would be to put in a new kitchen faucet. He quoted me a competitive price for DC $225 and I asked him how soon he could come. He said the next day. He called 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time. He and his colleague worked efficiently and I believe walked into more than they were expecting as it took close to an hour to get off the old faucet. After that he also noticed some corrosion around the garbage disposal. He suggested to either just replace the drain area or the drain area and the garbage disposal. He didn't push one way or the other and gave me what the costs would be for both. One would fix the initial problem but there was no telling when the garbage disposal might go. I decided to fix both the drain area and garbage disposal since the disposal was already over 4 years old. He had quoted $150 for the disposal and $250 for instillation and the drain part. After taking off the garbage disposal we found where the second leak was, one of the screws for the disposal was never attached. So it was hanging there by only 2 screws, leaving the room for a leak. I am very glad I decided to change it out. When putting in the new disposal he also noticed my grounding wire was not attached as it was cut too short. He extended this and grounded it for us. After about 3 hours we were all about to wrap up when he tested the water to find a leak in the u-trap under the sink. It was only slight but promised to come back in a few days to fix. Two days later as promised and within the window time we agreed upon he came to fix the problem. He only charged me for the parts for this fix and even brought a cover for the box he put in for the grounding wire originally he put in a cover but it was not the right one and I had planned to go to Lowes to get the right one as agreed upon. The total cost for all was $625 and I would not change a thing. David was professional and feel he did an excellent job. He explained everything thoroughly and gave me options along the way. I would recommend him highly and hire him again if we have any additional problems.

David did excellent work for us 3 years ago, when we purchased a home that needed several things done before we moved into it, ranging from changing locks, to updating bathrooms, to painting, to reworking our front porch. His design work and workmanship showed great attention to detail- tremendous work ethic!

I recently used Capitol handyman for a kitchen renovation project. They do an extremely thorough job, not missing any structural or aesthetic details. Easy to work and communicate with, timely, and honest. My kitchen space had some tricky aspects to it and they didn’t stop until they got everything exactly right. The end result is beautiful and I would highly recommend for any household projects.

David was absolutely fantastic. Quick to respond. Professional and friendly. He gave me a quick assessment of possible reasons for my bathroom water pressure issues and made a recommendation which actually ended up saving me a good amount of money. Sorted out my problem efficiently.

David and his team are excellent, and are most assuredly some of the most professional handymen in DC. While I’m sure there are cheaper alternatives, if you want your job done right, with incredible responsiveness, and no surprises throughout the fixing process, then you must use Capitol Handyman. I’ve messed around with cheaper alternatives in the past and got burned pretty hard - so happy to have David as a resource going forward. Thanks so much David!

I had Capitol Handyman come out to my home to do several jobs. We had them replace our garbage disposal which hasn’t been working for months so glad to have a working one again!. We also had them unclog a clog in our master bedroom shower . Last week a pipe burst in our finished basement and we had them repair the pipe and drywall and paint. They were very communicative and responsive to my questions. I definitely had a very good experience using their services they were fast and efficient. I highly recommend.

David did exactly what he said he would do and when he said he would do it. As a landlord, this is what you want from a service provider so I can keep my tenants happy and enjoying their rental. David removed wet drywall, treated for mold, repaired the drywall, and repainted. If David executes like this for everyone, he'll be in business for a long time to come. Thanks David.

David was great—he came over to check out a plumbing issue in my kitchen. Responding quickly he showed up on time and gave me his honest assessment of my needs. Would call David again, thanks!!!
