About us

I am a sole proprietor offering a wide range of handyman and general repair services to homeowners, allowing customers to save money by having one service provider complete multiple repairs in one service call, without having to call in a plumber, an electrician, a painter, etc. to do small jobs at a large cost. I am licensed and have a 2 million general liability insurance policy in force and will provide documentation upon request. I have been doing home repairs for my customers for 20 years on a part time basis and am now in business full time to serve the needs of my customers, both old and new, in the Northern Virginia area. I will gladly provide personal references upon your request.

John, is a stand up person and the work and advice he provides is unsolicited and honest. It demonstrates that he values the return work of his customers over a quick profit. Tough to find such reliable people in the business. Highly recommend for your small projects around the house.

John was excellent. He recommended and performed a cost effective solution, repairing holes in a old wood shed in our back yard. He was prompt, courteous, professional, and delivered what he said he would. I will definitely call John for other projects in the future.

John repaired a ceiling, stabilized a stair bannister, replaced the cover for a sewer fixture, replaced a rotted window sill, and replaced a broken window. John was prompt and professional in all respects. I plan to ask him to take care of all my small repairs in the future. I can give him my most enthusiastic recommendation.

Description of Work: John was AWESOME! He used to only work by word-of-mouth referrals from friends. We're lucky he's on Angie's List now. John did great work, was super nice, and sweet to my dogs. What more can you ask for in a handyman?

He has done good work. He has finished part of the work and I gave him a partial payment. He is going to do some more work later on. He was easy to work with and generally flexible. I had no complaints at all about him. He is a nice person and I would definitely use him again. I would absolutely recommend him. There is a qualifier on all this in that the painter had the ability to work in an apartment that was completely empty and he trashed the carpet, with my permission, because it is all going to be replaced. I don't know how he would be in a place with carpet and furniture. It is much easier to do a paint job where, if you spill paint, it doesn't matter. He spilled paint but that was not a problem for him or me. I would absolutely use him again
Description of Work: I used John Blizard to paint most of a 2-bedroom apartment.
