"Mir and his assistant did a great job mounting my 4 TVs. They were friendly, courteous and professional. His price was very reasonable and I wound definitely use his services again."
"This was a very professional crew. They met every term that they outlined, and during installation on a remarkably rainy day, they took great care to put down drop cloths and keep the place clean. They also took extra care to make sure that the water heater was installed properly on a slightly sloped floor, and that they restored all the elfa shelving within a very tight space. Would definitely recommend them."
"Used Mr. Mirgazy for a lot of work when finishing up our old home that we sold, and our new home after we bought it. He painted all of the rooms on our old home to prepare it for sale, and then in our new home he did framing, drywall, and painting for half of our basement that wasn't finished, he installed a new shower from scratch, including venting and tying into the drainline under the concrete slab, finished up the tile work in our kitchen, and did all the rough in work for an entirely new full bath. His work is always top notch, he is very thorough, and he is reasonably priced. I've had him come back multiple time for some other jobs over the last few years and I am always happy with the quality of his work."
"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 and his crew did an amazing job installing flooring in my attic and building shelves. I was really, really happy with their work. I will definitely be asking him to do additional jobs in my house."
"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."
"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."
Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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.
Before deciding whether or not to install a central vacuum system, consider the pros and cons to determine if it’s right for you.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
