"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."
"Kerwin is an absolute professional. Communicates on when arriving to complete a task, estimate timeline is always helpful. He's very responsive to my questions, and very knowledgeable. Very well rounded and an expert. He earned our trust to make the best decision for how some tasks needed to be done. His finished product is quality. Kerwin assembled our son's bed, a major closet, TV stands, an office desk, a book shelf and TV mounts. He handled all the fixing and repairs to our house to get it in proper shape to sell. We enjoy working with Kerwin, trust his expertise and work. He is our absolute go-to guy. We referred several family members to him and would 100% recommend him to anyone else."
"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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Experienced professionals don’t usually need to take down drywall to install the central vacuum. They are experienced in working in the tight spaces between walls and in crawl spaces to minimize any damage. The only drywall changes should be the holes cut for the new outlets. However, home design, existing plumbing, and other factors may require some modification. An estimate from a professional contractor should include information if any changes need to be made.
