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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mr. Roth provided telephonic estimate. He arrived on time and was thorough in the job, even checking online to make sure the installed mailbox would be compliant with USPS height and distance from road regulations. Mr. Roth provided an estimate for some other work while he was on site. I will use his services again and I recommend him highly.

It went great. She came by very punctually to look at what needed to be done, she sent me an estimate for the work and we agreed on the date. When it was rainy that day we decided on a new day, just a few days later. She provided the new post for us. Everything went very smoothly. I can't really comment on the cost because I didn't get any competing quotes so I have no idea if it high or low.

Thomas and Brandon arrived on time (even early) both days. They did an excellent job of painting trim and two sets of doors. A visitor even thought the trim was newly installed. They took care of everything planned but were able to substitute one job for one that was not needed after all. All in all, both were very congenial and easy to work with and did excellent work.

This review is for the service provided by Oscar in April. He was on time, professional, and skilled. I had several to-do's, some of which required waiting for cement to set and purchasing supplies at a nearby home improvement store. I could tell that he planned his time well and was organized. The new mailbox post and mailbox was installed perfectly (no complaints from the mail carrier) and the old mailbox was removed with no issues. He rebuilt one of my window boxes (there are two) that had fallen off the house by salvaging the materials of the old box. This was a big plus, because the estimator thought that both window boxes would have to be rebuilt from scratch with new materials. He reinforced the other window box and modified the brackets to match the rebuilt box (attention to detail!). He also cut closet shelves, which wasn’t on my original list, but saved me a lot of time and headache. When chatting with Oscar, I learned that carpentry is one of his specialties. If I have future carpentry projects—or any other to-do’s I can’t do on my own—I will ask for Oscar by name. The cost was manageable with an Angie’s List coupon. There was a little confusion with my bill, but I think it was because they were transitioning to a new system. The issues were resolved promptly with no drama.
