"Actually S&H sent someone they work with for central vac repair. He was prompt, knowledgeable, pleasant, and had the outlet working again within a half hour.

"David from AirBenders , came out to Sterling, VA was a great guy and knowledgeable.

I definitely recommend this company for any plumbing or ac repair"
"The folks from Rick's were professional and checked my heating system thoroughly to try to find and correct a noise issue I had on the upstairs level. They also checked my furnace in the basement to be sure it was working properly.

"R&A did a fabulous job on my interior home painting project. Rebekah came out to prepare the quote and provided a reasonable price. The painting team was also available for a quick turnaround and did a spectacular job. They filled holes, sanded, and painted five rooms in a single day! And the workmanship was incredible! They did an excellent job of coordinating the entire effort as well. I highly recommend R&A and will definitely use them again in the future."
"I hired Luis Flores and his team for a number of handyman projects. I had my house, shed, drive way, patio and walk ways power washed. It’s the cleanest my house has looked since I had the siding and gutters replaced! I had the shed doors repaired and the ramp replaced. He did an excellent job with this. I had my shed, ramp, shutters, front door and wrought iron rails painted. He did an excellent job with this. Lastly, I had the door weather strip replaced. Also an excellent job."
"We had a very unique location in our basement and wanted a barn door. Since the location was not typical a significant amount of thought had to go into hanging and sealing the door gap. William came up with a plan and installed and painted the door. We also needed hardware installed on the door. The team did EXCELLENT work and I would hire them again. At times the team was not the easiest to connect with and they were late once. However, I am very satisfied with the work and the price was competitive."
"I have used John several times and at all times he has been beyond amazing. John is patient, understanding, and takes his time to explain details of everything being done. He always asks questions to make sure the work he does is what the client wants. John is overall an extremely skilled man and has done different types of works with me from painting, cabinet installation, and even putting together/setting up furniture. John is beyond amazing and is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) when it comes to Home Improvement."
