FISHER HOMEWORKS

Wayne was great: I contacted him by e-mail on Sunday morning (New Year's Day!) and he replied by the same afternoon. He said that the work would probably take an hour or less and that he usually had a 3-hour minimum (@$75 hour), but he would be happy to come the next day (also a holiday) and do the work -- and charge me for only an hour if that's what it took. Because of the New Year holiday on Monday, parking was no hassle. Having a handyman who is a longtime DC resident is a great advantage. If a handyman has to come in from out of town, he always seems to blame the parking situation (lack of parking!) on you! But a DC resident knows better. Mr. Fisher did the work efficiently and perfectly. We had a nice chat. Great fellow!

we are in the process of moving out , so we needed to do some repairs to get everything ready for the next tenant.
I would recommend Wayne to anyone.  He will tell you what he can do and what he cant do.
He is on time and does a good job

He is a great guy. He was on time and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Fisher was efficient, had the tools he needed, did the work well, cleaned up debris from his work, and charged a reasonable fee. I was disappointed about his recommendation for the tub and shower; he concluded that replacement of the existing material would require grinding the grout and caulk and would be too time consuming for end result. I appreciated his honest opinion.

Arrived on time, made good use of his time (which is definitely a plus since he charges by the hour), and was a really nice guy to boot.

Price is per hour. Was very honest and did a great job. Very nice and easy to have around.

Excellent. Wayne was extremely responsive from Day 1, and we were able to get a lot of the details taken care of via email. He showed up exactly on time, and the price was exactly what he said it would be. Further, he added a few odd fixes here and there on his own (like adding missing anchors for screws) and gave me advice on how to proceed with other odd jobs, as well as giving me ideas and other references. He was patient and extremely pleasant - it was one of the most hassle-free experiences of my life when dealing with handymen and contractors.

He was very good and did good work for me.

Wayne was punctual, polite, quick, thorough and hard-working.

The work was for my office. He was right on time and inspected all the work that needed to be done. He did everything that was asked and did it well, with a smile. He wasn't able to wait until the putty on the drywall dried, so he left a piece of sandpaper for me to use later on (my request). I had asked him to repair a set of blinds, but it turned out to be a design problem, not broken blinds. He cleaned up after himself and stayed as out of the way as he could for the other employees.

Wayne arrived a little ahead of time, what a concept in this day and age! After showing him the scope of work that needed to be done, he began with the task to replace some tiles that had come off the wall in the shower. He looked at that piece of work and advised me that I would not be happy with the results, because the wall behind the tiles was wet and damaged and likely the tiles would not stay on long. Honesty, yet another great concept! Wayne did an excellent job hanging all the artwork. He was professional, courteous and neat in performing the work.

Mr. Fisher said he had never assembled a trampoline before but was willing to give it a try. He showed up on time and worked diligently and professionally. He was careful in reading the directions and keeping track of the numerous parts. He charged by the hour and the job took 6 hours. I gave him a tip because of the quality of his work and his willingness to work in the hot sun for so long. I will definitely call him for other handyman projects I have.

Wayne returned my call within a day and was able to come out within a week. He was prompt, friendly, thorough, and cleaned up after the work was completed. As mentioned above, it took some time to figure out why the ceiling fixture wouldn't work. He was methodical about narrowing down the problem. He charged $70/hour which was much more reasonable than the other quote I received.

Wayne was wonderful. He completed the work much faster than expected and his prices were the best I found. I offered to give him more money than he charged because I was so pleased with his work and he declined, indicating he appreciated the work and wanted to come back.

HE WAS ON TIME AND WAS ACTUALLY VERY PROFESSIONAL. TOLD ME HAD NEVER INSTALLED BALDWIN LOCKS BEFORE, BUT FELT CONFIDENT THAT HE COULD DO IT. HE INSTALLED THE LOCKS AND NONE OF THEM WORK UNLESS THE KEYS ARE IN THE DOOR (WHICH DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE). HE INSTALLED ONE TOWEL RACK AND BOTH OF THE TOILET PAPER HOLDERS AND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. HE WAS HERE FROM 8:30 AM TO 3:30 PM AND HAD JUST FINISHED INSTALLING THE LOCKS - HE WAS CHARGING US AN HOURLY RATE AT $75 PER HOUR. STILL HAD TO HANG ANOTHER RACK AND PAINT. I ASKED WHAT HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE US AND HE SAID "THE WHOLE AMOUNT." AT THAT POINT I KNEW ONE OF THE LOCKS DIDN'T WORK. I TOLD HIM WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY SO HE COULD LEARN AT OUR EXPENSE. SO HE PACKED UP HIS STUFF AND DIDN'T CLEAN UP (WOOD SHAVINGS EVERYWHERE). WE PAID HIM $375 AND HE BILLED US FOR THE DIFFERENCE. ALL HE DID WAS HANG THE TOILET PAPER RACKS AND ONE TOWEL RACKS AND NONE OF THE LOCKS WORK. HE THEN SENT US AN INVOICE (TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY).

I can't be happier with the many necessary repairs that were bugging me. Very punctual, very personable, responsive to calls and emails and knows a lot about everything. If there is something that he can't do he will let you know. I plan to use him again when I need something else done.

I found him to be very helpful and pleasant. I found his knowledge maybe slightly lacking in the electricity area. I have had to call him back out to re-do that work, but everything else he did was well done and he was reasonably priced.

I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE OUT COME OF THE HOUSE. THEY MADE MY HOME LOOK LIKE A NEWLY BUILT HOME. THE PRICE WAS GREAT AND THE GUYS WERE EXCELLENT.
