Jonathan S. says, "I am only permitted to choose 3 characteristics of my experience with Robert. But Robert is also punctual and responsive. I am a contractor. I've been a contractor for 50 years. I was out of the state and arranged for Robert to meet me at a job site in Washington, DC. I drove 3-1/2 hours to meet Robert. (Can you imagine my reaction if he did not make our appointment.) Robert is a friendly man, and I liked him immediately. He listened to my complicated explanation, which was an electrical ghost that I could not find. He uncovered the problem AND found a second issue. Robert had the supplies to repair both issues and went about fixing them quickly. His fee was reasonable, and everything went better than I expected, which absolutely earned Robert a tip on top of his fee. Robert is now my Go-To electrician for projects I have in DC & MD. He should be your Go-To electrician too."See more

Celeste B. says, "Julian is a top notch professional handyman who is thoughtful about the work he is doing. This is my first time using Julian and I already know that we're going to have a long term business relationship. As my husband and I age even the little projects that we used to do ourselves like hanging pictures or putting up shelves have become beyond our reach as climbing ladders is no longer safe for us. I would rather make sacrifices in my budget in other areas so I can hire someone like Julian who is clearly a reliable, capable, and versatile handyman. Julian repaired work gone wrong with another person, assessed other projects for repair so I know what to purchase for his next visit and helped me hang heavy glass shelves securely with anchoring. He also helped me begin install on new secuirty cameras using a special masonry drill to secure the camera to my brick exterior of my house. That is a project we definitely could not have done ourselves. I'm sacrificing dinner out this weekend and other things to have Julian back next week to finish repairs and other projects. I highly recommend Julian's fixes for your handyman needs."See more
