House Doctors Handyman Service of McLean

My wife and I had House Doctors of McLean perform a fairly substantial restoration of our 20’ x 6’ portico and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Our project required both structural repairs to the aged and dated Victorian-style vertical supports; as well as functional upgrades to the ceiling/eaves. Given we live in an end-unit row home, we also worked with their foreman, Hector, to design a custom semi-privacy screen between us and our neighbor’s unit; the result was better than we hoped and blended well into the exiting home design. Hector is easy to work with and the team assigned to our project, Jacob and Mauricio, were excellent. They showed up on time each day and got the entire project done in a week. The improvement not only extends our outdoor living space but also provides a much-enhanced curb appeal to our property (not to mention needed structural repair). We strongly recommend using House Doctors of McLean – they were straightforward on pricing too, very reasonable.

Rich, Angela and the whole are amazing…HIGHLY recommend their many services. I’ve used them for multiple projects and I’ve never once been disappointed. Great company!

Outstanding! Could not be happier with the job and will definitely use House Doctors of McLean, VA for all my future home repair needs.

It was the strangest experience: while the scheduler was very polite, based on what I can deduce from my conversation with her, I give them 1 or 2 stars for their desire and/or ability to help with my project. Spoke with Angela to schedule an appointment for an estimate. I described the issue and was clear that plumbing was ruled out as a cause, and we knew where the leak was happening (with re-caulking and re-tiling being most likely outcome), although acknowledged that there was a little bit of investigative work to be done /could be a bigger issue once they opened things up. I was hoping to talk to a professional and have them evaluate the problem in person. I was advised that they would rather not be involved with this kind of project because they can "only see what we can see" and it could be a "rabbit hole"for a homeowner, and that in the past they've had satisfied customers whom they were able to help, and there were others who weren't so pleased with the outcome, so it was in my best interest not to proceed with this company because they are not a "diagnostic" company and couldn't guarantee the fix would work. While the person on the phone clearly thought she was doing me a favor, it was shocking to hear all that over the phone since a) they advertise bathroom repair projects, b) based on reviews on Angi, they have done this kind of projects and more, and c) an experienced contractor typically investigates the issue before rendering a decision. While I appreciated the honesty and empathy (she told me she didn't want me to be upsold by bathroom remodeling contractors), I was surprised that the person answering the phones was empowered to turn down work - unless she was instructed to do that based on their prior experience with this kind of projects. The project I had is not so uncommon, so I was surprised that they would consider it a waste of time to send someone out to evaluate the issue in person. My takeaway is that if you need tiles replaced/shower re-caulked, they are happy to do it, but if the job is a little bit more complex, they are not confident in their ability to handle it. Again, a really surprising outcome for the company that advertises bathroom repairs. The company makes it a point that they are a VOSB, and as a family that has veterans and active-duty members, we wanted to support those who served. It is unfortunate that we cannot use them.

House Doctors of McLean did a fantastic job on my project. Their technicians are punctual and work very diligently. They are excellent at whatever they do, always clean up beautifully and their customer service is superior. I will definitely be calling them for future projects.

House Doctors are the best contractors I have had in 40 years. They fixed a stubborn leak in the masonry and doors, repaired a leaky gutter, and did a great job of powerwashing the front and back. The cost was reasonable and the work performed outstanding.

It was a pleasure working/scheduling with Rich. I needed to remove an old mailbox and post and replace with a new one. He was responsive, courteous, punctual, and took the time to come out to the property beforehand to make sure all of the necessary components - box, post, customized address pieces were on-site so that there would be no wasted time on installation day and that any necessary accessories or hardware could be purchased in advance. As there was a delay in the ordering of the new mailbox, we stayed in touch and scheduled an installation date promptly after the mailbox arrived. House Doctors of McLean arrived on time and completed the job quickly. The new mailbox looks fantastic, and we thought the cost was very reasonable. Would hire again for similar or other projects.

Great job. Showed up early. Work was outstanding, complete clean up after the job. Would hire again.

I've hired House Doctors of McLean for other projects before, and have always been extremely pleased with their work. Rich is professional, honest, and fair. His crews show up on time and perform the work exactly as promised. And Rich has always come to inspect the finished work to make sure it meets my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone.

House Doctors did a wonderful job. I had a punch list of projects to be completed and Rich's team was able to get it done quickly and expertly. I really appreciated Rich's candor during the fee estimate process. One of my projects was interior painting and in seeing the size of that project, Rich suggested that another service provider may be better suited. I will absolutely call House Doctors again!

Great job with replacing the difficult-to-replace closet roller piece, that is no longer in stock.

Fantastic experience. Rich and his team were extremely responsive and professional. We are so happy with how the work came out and would highly recommend their services.

House Doctors are my go-to people for any improvement projects in my business. I needed a quick installation of a protective glass shield at my office. House Doctors made recommendations and promptly installed the needed shield. They showed up on time, and did the work professionally.

These guys are great! They remodeled 1.5 baths, installed wainscoting, rehung my front door, and demo'd/redid a closet. They were conscientious and skilled, and the owner comes by to check on how things are going, which I thought was great. I'd rehire them again and have referred them to two friends.

House Doctors are personable and do expert work. I highly recommend them for work around your home!

It was very easy to work with the owner of the business throughout the project, from estimate, scheduling, to repair. Rich and his office are responsive, and his crew is clearly experienced. They were able to come up with a creative, cost-effective fix to an unanticipated problem, which could have been expensive. Highly recommend, and plan to use again!

We are extremely happy with the work Rich and his crew performed at our house. The entire team is very professional. They provide a quote, give you a start and end date and stick to everything. His prices are very reasonable and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. We had them here during COVID-19, and they very careful about maintaining distance and always wearing masks even outdoors. I highly recommend House Doctors Handyman Service of McLean and will continue to hire him in the future.

Fantastic! Excellent workmanship, pricing, and responsiveness.

They did an excellent job and finished in one day.

It went very well. Done in one day, old gate, fence posts etc., removed and area cleaned up before leaving.

Excellent. House Doctor’s is a true find. They are are professional, helpful and very cooperative. I will hire them for every job around my condo I need done. They are very good and extremely reasonable.

Service was terrific. I could not have asked for anything better. It is great to know of a company that will take care of a problem efficiently and correctly. I will not hesitate to call on them again!

Excellent! Very high quality and professional

Everything went very well. Initially, when I called the receptionist, Angie, listened to my requests carefully. She called me back the next day after talking to the technicians about possible options for a new cabinet or shelf. She quoted me an approximate price for the labor and had a carpenter out to my house the following day. The carpenter, Alex, was able to take the doors from my old cabinet and modify them. He built a new cabinet that fit perfectly above my new fridge. I was delighted with the outcome. Alex clearly takes pride in his work and is meticulous and precise about doing a good job. I was so happy that he could reuse my doors and have a new cabinet that looks exactly like the other cabinets in my kitchen.

Alex did the assessment, repairs and did an excellent job! There were a few things in which materials were reused and now with the new trim, they did not fit. I brought that up to Rich, who was very attentive and empathetic and got it fixed for a minor additional cost. I got estimates from 4 other top contractors at angies list and they all were within 10% of each other. I gave the job to alex and rich because they communicated clearly, openly and honestly. They did not resist feedback where it was warranted and took that opportunity to shine and gain my trust and appreciation. This is a brilliant crew!
