"Carlos was wonderful. He gave me a better price than others, and did more work. He repaired a door I had been told needed to be replaced and put 2 screws in a door handle I had been told needed to be replaced. Both work perfectly. He did all my projects perfectly and without me asking, he even bought paint to match a small area of wall. He left everything very clean."

"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.

"Luis is a great find! He came in and changed out my kitchen faucet along with the garbage disposer, replaced the wood underneath the sink and installed a new dish washer all in about 4 hours. He’s professional, does good work and the prices are reasonable...I plan on using him for more services in future."

"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."

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

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

Technically, yes, you could install a central vacuum system on your own, but it is a very difficult DIY. There is a significant amount of planning, cutting into walls, and electrical wiring work that goes into it, which should only be performed by a professional. Because of the difficulty and expense associated with a central vacuum system, it’s worth it to hire a professional company familiar with the installation's complexities.

For the average-size house, a central vacuum installation usually takes one day of work by a team of professionals. Large houses may take two or more days. But if you are planning on a DIY project, it’s likely to take much longer. We suggest getting a few estimates for a project this big and fully understanding all the requirements before you make a decision about installation. Certain parts of your house may not be usable during the installation, and you may want to make other plans.

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.

A central vacuum system can be a worthwhile investment depending on your needs and budget. While the upfront cost is higher than a traditional vacuum cleaner, it offers significant long-term benefits. These systems can save you time and make cleaning your home easier, as you only need to carry the hose and vacuum head, eliminating the need to lug a heavy unit up and down stairs. They also tend to operate more quietly and can improve indoor air quality. The convenience and performance over many years may make it a valuable addition to your home if you can budget for the initial installation.
