Alex did a wonderful job on an outside wiring job which required digging in the ground and replacing some broken lights and an inside drywall repair. The jobs were completed quickly and professionally. Thanks so much!

I called Alex after movers put a hole in our ceiling. I should mention that I called him on a Sunday and he was here within an hour. Not only was he professional and personable, he did a great job! I'd recommend him highly.

I needed 2 fluorescent lights installed in my home office and took a chance on Alex's Craigslist listing. I sent him an email on a Sunday night around 7pm with my phone number and got a prompt phone response from him within 10 minutes. I explained what I was looking to do and he advised me on the type of light fixtures and hardware I needed to pick up at Home Depot and quoted me a price for his labor. He then showed up the next day at the agreed upon time, installed my new light fixtures, took away the old broken ones, and charged the exact price he had quoted me on the phone the previous day. You can't ask for more than that! My new lights look great and function perfectly! He's also very personable and really seems to take pride in his work. I would definitely use him again.

Alex is the only contractor guy you should hire in the DC Metro area. I want what everyone wants- quality service at the best possible price. It also helps to work with likeable people. Alex holds all these qualities and goes the extra mile. I called him to perform a complicated curtain installation and the job was done meticulously. I will happily hire him again for future projects.

Alex agreed to paint a room in my home on only one hour's notice. He did a wonderful job at a very reasonable price. While he was at my home he tookthe time to inspect several areas of concern and made repair recommendations. I will be using him for future projects and highly reccomend his services.

Alajandro/ Alex of Accent Painting and Carpentry did pressure wash my deck and did few small carpentry jobs. He did a fantastic job and his demeanor was wonderful. He listened to every thing I said and did his best to provide the best solution. He is very good at handyman jobs but does not venture to areas he is not comfortable with. For example, when he worked on what seemed a small plumbing job, he realized that the pipe was broken and needed more serious plumbing work. Instead of attempting to do it himself, he got a plumber to do the work.
His charges also were quite reasonable. He also communicates well. I would recommend Alex without any reservation. He took the check only after finishing the whole work.
