I had one of the handywoman’s named Mahkameh installed 2 grab bars in the bathroom. She was swift, nice and professional. I liked when she used her shoes covers and mask. She cleaned after herself and doubled check the right position of the grab bars before installation with me and did an amazing job. Generally, I liked her performance, so I highly recommend this company!

Sol Construction LLC (Handypro of Washington DC Metropolitan) is the worst contracting company I have ever worked with. Ali Soltani, the man in charge of my disability installation, was incredibly rude, aggressive/belligerent, and unwilling to compromise. I would never work with this man/company again. When asking him a question, he left my house abruptly and in his car. He was unprofessional throughout the work and a money-grabber. He made a mistake while installing the stairlift, was unwilling to admit it - blaming me for HIS mistake, and wanted to charge me extra to uninstall the stair lift. Furthermore, he wanted me to buy another product and his manual labor (doubling the charges). This is no way to have customer service for a disabled, elderly person. Furthermore, when the work was inspected by the county, all of his work was failed - not passed due to being deemed unsafe. The outdoor lift does not work now either, not that I'd want to use it in this dangerous fashion. If you want to get yelled at, get overcharged, or deal with removal of products and bringing in another contracting company to fix mistakes, this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend anyone to use this company.

"You ad two reviews so please review the other. Overall all false accusations. If the code is not to your favor, you can not go aroung and leave negative reviews. I hope you have a better day today."

The chair lift does not go up to the top step so the client has to step down to get in it. It is also very narrow and the client cannot fit in it. The lift on the deck has not work since it was installed. Mr. Ali Soltani had not made any attempt to resolve either issue. As an added note, this is paid for by the State of Maryland, so about $20,000 of our tax payer dollars are just wasted on equipment that is faulty and cannot be used.

"Hello, All the above is false accusation. We went back and fix the outdoor lift. For the indoor lift, you are asking for something is not based on Code. We can not extend the rail beyond the wall. However the lift goes all the way to the top and you need to turn the seat to seat on. The total amount was $12850, how you got to the 20,000, I do not know. We are going consult our legal team, on your false claim specially regard the tax payer money. Also you put two negative review with two different names and none of those are your name.. So that tells the readers what kind of person you are. Just to let everybody knows, both lifts work fine."

"Hello and thanks for your review. I am wondering what was the reason to rate us that low. We completed the job back in April 08 2015. has anything go wrong since that time? We are more than happy to fix it as you are still under our one year warranty. Please advise. Thanks"

The handyman was prompt and had a professional, all-business manner.  I had a to-do list including replacing quite a few burned out ceiling light bulbs ( I can't do ladders anymore because of age and balance issues), putting a closet door back on track, replacing ballast in two fluorescent fixtures, etc.  I had a coupon for two hours of service, which would have been a great deal if he had actually completed all the work.  He completed replacing the overhead bulbs in very short order, and it was my fault that I could not find one of the bulbs to be put in.  He also completed putting the closet door back on track.  He found that one of the fluorescent tubes did not need new ballast; the tube was simply not inserted properly.  Unfortunately, he discovered that Home Depot had misled me about the correct ballast for the other fluorescent light, despite the fact that I gave the staffer all the relevant specifications.  The handyman removed the ballast and told me to go get one like it.

As he had used less than an hour of the two hour coupon, I suggested that he ask his boss if he could come back another day, at his convenience, to replace the ballast.  I knew that the coupon said that it had to be used on one visit, but since I had made every effort to get the correct ballast, it really wasn't my fault that it wasn't what was needed.  I thought that he might even offer to pick up the correct ballast from his shop or a hardware store.  Even if he did so, his company would still have made a profit on the deal, as it would have taken less than two hours, total.  I asked him to talk to his boss and then call me to tell me what was said and, if he got the OK, to make another appointment.  I never heard back from him, about whether he could come back. He left the parts of the fixture on the counter.  I put them into my car, so I could get new ballast.  Unfortunately, since I never heard back, the fixture and the new ballast are now residing in the back seat of my car; I think I may have lost one of the screws.  I was a bit annoyed by the lack of followup, as I was hoping that this would be one I'd use in the future, as I am likely to need further handyman work.

Sharon, age 70.

"Hello and thanks for your feed back. We are doing our best to have craftsman who knows to do everything. However some don't have all the different experience such as Glass shelves. The price that you paid was $99 for two hours of work(It was mentioned $200). I am glad that he could fix it before he leaves. I hope that you consider HandyPro for your next project."

Overall the work was OK.  The person arrived earlier than scheduled, which was great.  He took longer than expected. Therefore, he did not clean up fully afterward since he indicated he had to leave to get back to the office before it closed.  Pencil marks remained on all the cabinets and one handle was not installed properly.

Overall, the work was decent. The machine is assembled and useable. I would consider another handyman if one is needed in the future.

The handyman called the day before to verify the time and address. He had some trouble finding my townhouse and gave me a call. I appreciated that he didn't hesitate to call me to get directions. He was only a couple of minutes late because of this. Not a problem.
There was a little problem with shaving the door down. He understood from his office that the door needed shaving along the side, so he wasn't sure he had the correct tool, but he managed to do it with the tool he had and it worked out fine.
The other 2 projects were done well. He didn't use a level to install the magnetic strips on the wall. I think he eyeballed them. He was almost perfect, but not quite. I know I'm picky about things like that. I wish he had used a level, but I can live with this.  These 3 projects took just about 2 hours, the time allowed for the deal. I was very satisfied.

Great.  I had measured and bought supplies to do the building in a couple of different ways after googling the subject.  He was able to do the work in 2 hours as I had hoped and certainly to my satisfaction.
