"I had a dozen or so roof shingles blow off in a windstorm. A roofer I had used previously said they were booked-up for a while because of the windstorm. So I thought I would get a handyman to do a temporary patch with a tarp until the roofer's schedule cleared. Rebekah came out to give an estimate for the temporary patch. Her company came up under the search for a handyman but it turns out she is a general contractor and said she had a roofer available.

Long story short, the roofer came out the next day and did a proper shingle replacement - sent pictures and everything. It gave me one less thing to worry about and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend.

"Jose and his crew (Thomas, Mario and Domingo) went above and beyond on these jobs. They remodeled my basement and bathroom. They showed up on time, were very respectful with my property and did amazing work. Communication was great throughout. They did some extra custom work in my bathroom, which really made the room pop! These are very talented craftsmen, who take pride in their work. I've already hired them on to more projects at my house because I know I can trust them. I can't recommend Jose and his team high enough. I'm super happy with the results."

"Fantastic! William and his team at Handyman in DMV are fairly priced and do great work. We had them do drywall patching, new door installation, painting, as well as mount a TV, hang pictures, caulk the bathroom, install a ceiling fan, and minor electrical work in order to update the old outlets throughout the house. His company performs the work at a reasonable hourly labor rate and they didn't up-charge us for the materials. We were able to get all of that work done in about a work and only paid around $7,500 including materials! We will definitely be using them again."

John is beyond amazing and is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) when it comes to Home Improvement."

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

Experienced professionals don’t usually need to take down drywall to install the central vacuum. They are experienced in working in the tight spaces between walls and in crawl spaces to minimize any damage. The only drywall changes should be the holes cut for the new outlets. However, home design, existing plumbing, and other factors may require some modification. An estimate from a professional contractor should include information if any changes need to be made.

Before deciding whether or not to install a central vacuum system, consider the pros and cons to determine if it’s right for you.

Pros

  • Increased suction power

  • Improved air quality

  • Reduced noise pollution

  • Longer lifespan than traditional self-contained vacuum units

Cons

  • Higher upfront installation costs

  • Expensive repairs

  • Requires significant storage space

The cost to install a central vacuum cleaner system averages about $1,600, ranging from $1,100 to $2,200, depending on the size of the system, add-on features, your home’s location, and age of the system. Accessibility to running lines and other equipment can also impact the project cost. Consult a central vacuum cleaner installation company for an accurate estimate of your installation cost.

Whether talking about a whole-house central vacuum or a portable vacuum cleaner, the expected cost of major repair work should always be balanced against its replacement cost. However, excluding high-cost motor replacements or major electrical trouble, repairs on a central vacuum system are typically far less than the cost of purchasing and installing a new one.

No. Only the hose or the attachments are portable in a central vacuum system. A portable vacuum is a standalone model like a stick, canister, or upright. A central vacuum system is defined by a central power unit, which is installed in one place like an AC unit, and the connected network of piping to funnel the suction.
