About us
Smithwright Home Improvement is a general contracting company providing a broad range of home improvement and home repair services in the Suburban Maryland area. I am a company of one and use subcontractors only when absolutely necessary. 99% of the work I take on is performed by me. Smithwright Home Improvement is licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission since 2004 under license# 89597. I've done mostly flat-fee work under contract with the home owner. Small projects, or handyman related work, bills out at $80/hour with a 3 hour minimum. Angie's List customers receive a 10% discount off labor charges that invoice over $500.00. Discounts do not apply to materials cost which are in addition to labor charges. I do not add any additional costs to materials. You pay what I pay. My business, up to now, has grown strictly through referrals from satisfied customers. In the 20 years since I started this business, I have served hundreds of home owners in this area doing everything from simple drywall work to building large room additions and decks. I pride myself in delivering results that far exceed my customer's expectations. (Please note, the nature of my work can make it quite difficult to take phone calls during the day. The last thing I want is to offend anyone by not picking up or not returning phone calls. Please contact me via text at 410-707-5542 or email at [email protected] as well and I will try to respond to you within 24 to 36 hours. Thank you!).

This was the very best contractor experience that I can ever remember. Mr. Smith (Bill) was on time for both estimate and work and took better than exceptional effort to leave the area even better than he found it. He was reasonable in pricing, installed per ADA standards, matched existing hardware and explained, from great experience, why we needed to modify the placement of the bars. BTW He was right! I would strongly recommend him for your future needs. You will not regret your selection. RDL

I've worked with many contractors but none can compare to Smithwright. Professional, friendly, and highly communicative, I am recommending him to everyone I know. I am so pleased with the work that was done, I'm going to hire him again for future projects.

Bill did a range of interior and exterior work for us (doors, trim, tiling, lighting, etc). He had excellent attention to detail and his work is high quality. Communication was great throughout. I would hire him again.

Bill was easy to work with, arrived on time, and fixed our issue effectively even when the problem was bigger than we initially thought.

Bill is simply AMAZING. He was prompt with his reply to my Angi request, super accommodating when plans got put on hold, was very reasonable with his prices and absolutely did a fantastic and fast job at fixing my home to be able to sell. Super friendly, and time conscious and takes obvious pride in his work. Thanks Bill, for an amazing job, if we didn't move so far away, we'd definitely hire you again! Highly recommend Bill and Smithwright Home Improvement!!

Bill Smith recently completed drywall work, painting, electrical, and fencing work for me. Bill's pricing is excellent compared to other handymen and contract companies. Bill is punctual and polite. He has worked on multiple projects for me over the years and has done an excellent job on each of them. Highly recommend!

Great! We had a list of repairs that built-up over the years and Bill did a thorough, beautiful job of attending to everything. He's meticulous with his work and was a pleasure to work with. Bill explained the nature of the repairs needed and answered all our questions. It's a relief to have these repairs made -- we are in better shape than when the work was first done (by someone else.)

Bill did an excellent job. Will definitely hire Bill again. We had 4 different projects that we needed help with an Bill did them all and did them well. Bill helped us with kitchen counter caulking, needed carpentry to replace rotting wood around the front door, cleaning out and reworking the dryer vent piping plus repaired the back fence gate that was a problem getting stuck for years. Bill was a pleasure to work with and even scheduled the project to suite our availability. As I said we will definitely hire bill again.

Bill did a great job on a variety of jobs (painted all interior doors, replaced the door knobs, painted a bedroom, replaced an exterior door, replaced rotting wood outside the garage, installed smoke detectors, unclogged a bathroom sink and stopped a leaky bath faucet). He provided me with constant updates and was a pleasure to work with.

Bill is friendly, positive, and a pleasure to work with. He takes real pride in the quality of his work. He's a clear communicator, both in person and via email, and I think he charges reasonable prices. I'll continue to call on him until the day he retires or moves away.

It went great. Bill was terrific. He was kind and courteous, professional and efficient. Everything was done well and to code. I wish I had more stuff for him to fix, and I recommend him without reservation.

He responded to my quote request quickly, came out a few days later to give the quote, and did the work a few days after that. He was friendly, competent, and safe (including wearing a mask since we are in COVID times). I had no problems.

Excellent! Bill was super detail oriented and communicated with us on every decision about the project, even down to the color of the screws to use so they’d blend in with the step boards. It was extremely hot and Bill worked tirelessly to get our project finished and didn’t complain once. We highly recommend Bill for any handyman project you have and we’ll definitely use him again when we have the need!

Bill was WONDERFUL! Bill did not take the easy way out, which would have been to reinstall the shelving units using longer anchors and nails. Bill went to our local Lowe’s purchased wood to be installed it as a brace to which he attached the shelving for additional support. To make a long a story short, I can swing from the shelves and they will not fall down! Great job, Bill!! We will call you shortly to fix other items around our home!! All my best, A. Moss

Deck and Porch Service
Bill Smith did a fine job replacing the lattice under a deck with white vinyl lattice, including building two gates to get to under deck storage, painting the handrails, and repairing and painting the metal handrails on the front porch. He even reattached a fallen shingle on the roof without charge. He was meticulous, professional, and courteous. Good communication via email. Will hire again.

The quality of the work was excellent! The lanterns were over 26 years old, but Bill's persistence and knowledge of his craft enabled him to overcome some obstacles and successfully complete the task. The weather went from Spring like to cold Fall weather. This made the repair of the concrete porch more challenging. Again, Bill persevered over a period of a few days to bring this part of the project to a successful conclusion. I fully intend to secure Bill's services in the near future to do more work at my home.

Amazing craftsmanship and quality work. I highly recommend Bill for any of your handyman needs. We we're selling our house and needed him to touch-up some items and he knocked it out of the park for a very reasonable price. Bill was always on time and was very trustworthy. Look no further for your handyman needs!

Smithwright has contacted me and will be calling me on Monday, May 27 to let me know when he might be able to start. We have gone back and forth via email so that he understand what is needed. As stated, he called Monday and asked if I was available the next day at 9am to have the maintenance performed which was perfect. He called Tuesday morning before 9 to inform me he was running a bit late and would be there between 9:30 and 10. He arrived as promised. We discussed the maintenance to be perfomed including what I was interested in and he evaluated the door and issues and recommended the weatherstripping but stated the sweep was still in decent shape, so I agreed to only the weather stripping. He went to the local Lowes to pick up the necessary materials and returned in reasonable time and began. It took a little over an hour. I reviewed the work and it appeared to be a good job. Bill asked if I had considered a storm door which I stated I had recently. He stated he usually charges for a minimum of two hours but gave me a discount which was appreciated. The entire job cost $193 (including materials). Considering the cost, job quality, and customer service; I would definitely hire Smithwright again for any handyman type work.

Bill was responsive to what I needed, was communicative in terms of keeping me updated over a period of multiple weeks regarding his timing, work that was planned and done, and did a great job with the quality of work. I'd gladly hire him again for services if needed.
