Nearby Mailbox Installation in Ashburn

Due to rotted wood, my mailbox fell down on a Friday. Around 5:00pm, I sent a note to Mailbox Xpress stating that I wanted to have a new Mailbox and a new post installed. My plan was to be added to their list of work for the following week. However, I received a call from Jimi that Friday night, and spoke with him again on Saturday, about the type of mailbox post that I wanted. Also, I sent Jimi a picture showing the color of both my house and the old mailbox post. I pointed out to Jimi that I had no expectations for him to install the mailbox that weekend. However, Jimi made my case a priority because my mailbox had fallen down. He matched the color of my house and installed the new mailbox that Sunday. And, it was a tough job getting the old concrete out of the ground. So, from a flyer left on my old mailbox 5-6 years ago, what did I get by contacting Mailbox Xpress? I got excellent customer service and excellent workmanship. The new mailbox with a new post is fine.

I found my old mailbox opened several times when I came home from work. I bought a locking mailbox and pole off of the Internet. When it came, I knew I could not install it myself because it looked complicated. Using Angie's List, I found Helping Hands Handyman Services and was impressed by the ratings. I called Mr. Best, the owner, one week and he came on Tuesday of the next week. It was a rainy day with bad traffic, but he still managed to be only 20 minutes late. He began immediately and, by watching from my window, I was impressed with his skills. He evened cemented the pole, although the instructions stated that it was not necessary. I will definitely call him whenever I need a handyman's services.

The workers arrived promptly and demolished the old brick mailbox. The bricks were hauled away and the new mailbox installed. Very neat workers; would hire them again.

Gus & Son responded to my questions promptly and provided me a quote and were able to schedule me to install mailbox post and mailbox. The only issue I had was the quote I was given over the phone changed once the handyman arrive, however after a quick phone call the original quote was honored. The Mailbox was installed in Feb 2020 and is still standing. Overall this was a quick repair and the 2-man crew was pleasant to work with.

The provider was on time, very polite and cleaned up after the job. I was very pleased with the project.

Jimi removed my old mailbox and post and replaced it with a new painted, pressure-treated wood post and large mailbox and placed my house number in reflective lettering on the front. He placed the old mailbox in my recycleable bin and broke down the old wooden post to make it easy to throw in the trash. The new mail looks great, is solidly installed and is high quality

Jim did a great job replacing my worn out mailbox. He arrived exactly when he said he would and had the new post and mailbox installed in less than an hour. He has lots of choices with posts, colors, mailboxes and numbers, so I got exactly what I wanted. It's a quality product and job. Thanks Jim

Handyman arrived a few minutes late. Said that the big deal coupon was just a way to keep his people busy in slow times, but if projects come up, they put coupon buyers off. Said that my mailbox could not be repaired without completely rebuilding the post, but when I asked him to just replace the box, he fixed it just fine. When asked to repair a small piece of damaged drywall, he said that the whole 4 foot piece needed to be redone and the sheet couldn't be cut. When I asked him to just replace the damaged part, he fixed it just fine, but did a poor finish job. At the end of the job, I felt like it had been such an inconvenience that I won't be bothering them again.

Jim, the handyman, arrived at around 12:30 and left around 2:00 and charged only $140 to reaffix shutter at the front of the house, attach a strip on the bottom of my basement door, and remove an old mailbox and install a new one. Jim knew what he was doing and wasted no time in doing it. Very personable . . . gave me a lesson about how those shutters are affixed!

A neighborhood child accidently broke off our mailbox at its base on Tuesday Oct. 14. The US Mail Service would not deliver mail to us with a broken mail box. Greg Gardner swung into action, and had it repaired and painted on Friday Oct. 17, and did a great job!

I woke up Thursday morning to find that someone had backed over my mailbox. Needed this done and done quickly. Contacted several handymen services but most were asking $300 plus for this same job. He picked up the new mailbox for me and installed it in less then 24 hours after first contact. Justin was very pleasant to deal with and actually after installing my new mailbox, he dug up the old concrete and bent post without me even asking. Would definitely use again.

He gave me estimates for six items that needed fixing. I picked two for now and left the others to do later, and was not charged extra for doing it a la carte. He showed up on time and did a good job. I will definitely call them again.

I would not recommend this company. They were hired for two jobs, which were initially supposed to be completed on one day but one of their employees couldn't make it so they had to come back on a second day a week or so later to complete the work. On both days they performed work, the workmen did not have the necessary tools/parts to complete the work, which lengthened the time it took to complete the projects. They didn't quote prices for the projects, but I had called at least four other services so I had an idea of how much the work should cost. The other companies either didn't call me back or never managed to schedule a time to come out if they did bother to call, which I assume was due to the small nature of the projects. As a result, the responsive company, My Hunny Do, got the job. Unfortunately, My Hunny Do charged at least twice as much as the other handyman services that I had called which was an unpleasant surprise at the end of the work. Adding insult to injury, after charging twice as much as the other companies I had called for the sink installation, the sink was not even installed properly and started to leak soon after they had completed the project. To their credit, they came out fairly quickly after I alerted them to the problem and repaired the sink. I have not had a problem with it leaking since they came out the second time. The final problem was the unprofessional manner in which the lead handyman acted while in my home. I am a single woman, which he apparently took as license to flirt. It is possible that he mistook kindness for something else since I tend to offer water and snacks to anyone coming to do work. I had no problems on the first visit, but on the second visit, he mentioned a few times how pretty I am and that I look good with my hair down. It made me very uncomfortable, which is not how I should feel in my own home. In case there is any doubt, gentlemen, friendliness/willingness to chat and/or offer of food/beverage does not mean a lady is looking for a date.

I submitted a service request online on a Saturday, and Victor Strassberger returned the call that evening. He was polite and asked for details about the jobs that needed to be done. Victor estimated the job would take about 6 hours. We discussed a schedule date and he said that his office would call to confirm on Monday. As I was in and out all day on Monday, I took the initiative and called the office. Liz acknowledged that my name was on her list to contact and apologized for not getting to me earlier in the day. We scheduled a service date for the following week. We received a phone call the night before telling us that the technician would arrive at 8:00am. Wayne Tolbert arrived exactly at the scheduled time. We were a bit surprised that there was only one person on this job, but Wayne did an outstanding job. He removed the old curbside mailbox and installed a new one (including setting the post in concrete), cleaned the gutters, and power washed the house. We recently had some remodeling done and the house siding was really dirty. We hadn't seen any Angie's List reports on Mr. Handyman doing power washing. Our house was power washed about 2 years ago by a team of three people, and it was not a good job. So, we didn't quite know what to expect from one person. Wayne, by himself, did an outstanding job. Our neighbor even commented that the house looked like the siding was brand new! The whole job took 8-1/2 hours rather than the estimated 6 hours. We were charged an additional $10.00 for the power washer gas. We wouldn't have considered this "supplies" as much as an equipment expense. Although this and the additional time cost us more money, it was money well spent. The hourly rate could run high for a one-technician project that takes a lot of time and must be done in stages with down time in between (like painting, masonry, etc, which has to dry or set before work can proceed). However, you need to remember when contracting with Mr. Handyman that charges are by the hour, with a 2-hour minimum charge, rather than by the project, so plan accordingly. We are happy to recommend Victor Strassberger, Mr. Handyman of Northern Montgomery County; and we will contact them again for another fall cleanup.

Excellent. He returned our email same day and got over to the house a few days later. Work was done on time and under the price he had figured.

Outstanding work. Mr. Elkot came over on a Sunday and gave me various options on how to fix my driveway, which was in pretty bad conditions, a lot of cracks and holes. Also, he scheduled the work for the next day, and arrived on schedule. He was very professional and provided quality work. He came over various times during that week to ensure that the cracks were all gone and the job was performed to my satisfaction. He also removed my old mailbox post and installed the new post with new mailbox. Great job on that too. He paid attention to details, and was fair with the price. It was obvious he had a lot of experience because he knew what to do right away. Overall, I am very happy with the job he performed.

Excellent. The workers did beautiful work. They were on time, worked quickly and cleaned up immaculately. Above expectations.

She was on time, and fair and reasonably priced. Also she did good work, was clean, and professional.

After contacting Mr. Roth to describe service I required; I received a most timely response and free estimates. The estimates covered the "what if's" and I felt they were very reasonable. Even though we corresponded via phone and online, never really meeting, I was confident in his professionalism. He had to return to do the job due to an unexpected requirement for completion of the job. I did not hesitate to agree to his taking my recently purchased mailbox unit away with him to return the next day. He allowed for my personal preferences and feedback on his recommendations, keeping me in the loop from beginning to end. I was very pleased with the results and would not hesitate to use his services again.

I spoke with several companies off AngiesList, and Alicia at Mr. Handyman was by far the most knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful in outlining what was needed to do the job and coordinate scheduling. My street-side mailbox post was taken down by a car and needed to be replaced as soon as possible (I could not get mail delivered without an installed box), and Alicia and I agreed that, due to the cold weather, we would need to do the work in two stages - it was too cold to effectively use concrete. We arranged a date a few days later, and Ronnie showed up within the agreed upon time parameters and did a great job with a temporary installation, and left me with the concrete for the next stage, when they would come back and make permanent the installation. As there was a little time left in my 2 hour minimum he helped me out with some repairs to my fence as part of the job. Ronnie was very polite and professional. And while I think the added fees and mark-ups are a bit much, they were, if fact, well spelled out in advance, so there were no surprises. All in all, I would definitely do business with them again.
