The Handyman Can LLC

Handyman Services, Doors, Interior Painting,

About us

For all inquiries, please call or text (703) 281-4185. Will not respond to emails or messages through the message center. We have been serving Northern Virginia since 1992. We have Virginia class B license for projects up to $120,000, but will do virtually any project or repair inside you home. We do have a $175 minimum house call fee that includes the first hour of work. After that it is $75 per hour fee for smaller projects. Larger projects are based on a lower hourly rate which is included in the over all project estimate. The cost is generally determined by the job but some areas such as exterior carpentry may be billed hourly due to the unpredictable nature of the work. We may find more work up close or underneath visibly damaged areas. All employees speak English well. We are also able to communicate in Spanish, Cechua or Italian (just in case). We are covered by general liability insurance, disability insurance, workers comp, and heath insurance. I treat my employees and my customers, in the same manner I wish to be treated myself. We have been Angies list supper service award winners for the past 11 years. We care about our workmanship and our customers and I think that is reflected in our awards. Thank you for considering us for your projects.

Since we don't do appliance repair the D rating seems a little harsh. I have tried to get Angies List to remove appliance repairs category from our list of services but they are unable since apparently I was able to help some folks along the way. Maybe they considered changing a dryer vent appliance repair. My apologies on behalf of Angies List for misleading info about my company servicing appliances. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.

Will returned our call, gave us a estimate and a time frame when the work could be done. The workmanship was excellent. He had to remove a piece of drywall that had wall paper on it, he replaced the drywall and wall paper even matching the border with a felt maker. You would never know it had been replaced. They left the area cleaner then when they arrived. This is an excellent company, they arrive on time and work very hard.
Description of Work: Found where the leak around the door was coming from. Removed dry wall and PVC pipes. Replaced both along with the trim around the door. All work was done by Will Grant and his helper.

The results are breathtakingly beautiful. Courteous, professional and prompt, they moved and/or protected every furnishing, wall hanging, accessory and, in our case, tons of books before painting, then returned EVERYTHING exactly where it had been. They exemplified Will's motto to "leave a place cleaner and better than when they arrived." They even took care of little problems I hadn't thought they would think to address - fixing a stripped-thread faucet, removing the squeaks from doors. I cannot praise them enough. To wit, I've already signed on to have them paint the upstairs a couple of months from now.
Description of Work: Will and his very skilled crew painted the entire downstairs (dining room, living room, 2-story foyer, library, kitchen, family room, powder room and mini back hall), walls, ceilings and trim - 2 coats. Trim work included crown molding in four rooms, chair railing in two rooms and the banister spindles of the foyer stair case and the upstairs railing as well as door frames and baseboards. Prior to painting, they patched all nail holes and cracks.

These guys are fantastic. I would hire them again in a minute (actually, I've already scheduled them to do my kitchen). They were here every day when they said they would be, they talked me through everything, they were professional and just really nice. The work they did for me is beautiful. They always went the extra mile to make everything right. I felt like their standards were higher than my own (I've never had that happen!) and I could completely trust them with everything. Just a couple examples -- they put up new doors on the utility closet in the basement. It had needed to be cleaned out for a while, and when they were done they said, "Oh, we vacuumed it out and cleaned out the junk." They swept out the garage to keep from tracking in leaves. Every night when they left they cleaned up and vacuumed and left it cleaner than I would normally. I don't have enough space here to say everything, but this was the best home improvement experience I've ever had.
Description of Work: Will and his team painted the basement, hall, and stairs (walls, ceiling and trim), put in recessed lights, installed ceramic tile in the basement hallway and by the door, replaced sliding door, replaced front door, and fixed all kinds of things around the house.

First impression was to move a TV stand (without TV) from one room to another - up and down a flight of stairs - I thought the price was high. Regarding fixing a shower door - I had to tell him what I thought needed to be done - price again was really high. I had a specific area I wanted painted and he wanted to paint the whole thing. The price he quoted for the 1/2 bath was in range for materials and labor, but I did not have the confidence in him to hire him for this job. I will be calling someone else.
Description of Work: Had him do an estimate on painting, repairs, half bath addition and also moving a piece of furniture.

I located this company on Angie's List in June 2007. I contacted Mr. Grant and he came out a couple of weeks later to give me an estimate. We walked around the house while he took notes. He gave me a detailed estimate which seemed fair and reasonable. My wife and I reviewed and approved it. He told us he had a back log of work and would not be able to work on our house until mid September. We were in no hurry so this was OK with us. Mr. Grant's firm completed the work the last week in September 2007. Overall, the quality of the work was good. However, my wife was quite upset by the fact that they cut back the bushes near the house extensively so that they could get access to the windows without asking permission. My wife asked them to stop but they persisted. We understood that the bushes would have to be trimmed some but they did a poor job. The trimming was more extensive than necessary and very uneven.
Description of Work: Exterior work, repaired and repainted windows and shutters. Replaced rotted wood around front door. Repainted and re-tightened the stair banister inside.

Will Grant was a pleasure to work with. Will came to my home and gave me a free estimate on the work. He took the time to discuss what was involved and gave me various options. He has a sharp eye for what sells a home and gave me several suggestions. His crew were very professional and friendly. They arrived on time, finished their work on time, and cleaned up at the end of each day. Will also took the time to fix little things not first noticed on the initial walk through. The house looks great.
Description of Work: I was preparing my 3 story townhouse for sale and needed help with painting the interior and exterior of my home, replacing rotting wood on my porch, making and installing wooden trim around my fireplace, patching cracks in my dry wall, re-tiling the ceramic tile in my foyer, installing a closet organizer in my master walk-in closet, replacing and installing new mirrors and light fixtures in my three bathrooms, re-caulking my bathtubs and fixing the tub faucets and plugging a hole made by a woodpecker.

Will had a reliable worker that came along to help with all the jobs. Will (company owner) was on time, did the job in a timely manner, was neat and clean, left no mess behind. He definitely takes pride in his work and is fair in his pricing. We would hire "The Handyman Can" again... even for bigger projects... tile work, etc.

It was a very positive experience. Will and his crew were very polite and respectful the entire time they were in my home. They did a good job of cleaning up bits of wood and paint that fell on the floor. They were knowledgeable of how to do the tasks we required, and did them correctly. Our list took less time to complete than anticipated, so Will charged us that amount, which was $200 less than estimated. My impression is that he is in demand and very busy. We will call Will in the future should we need handyman services again, and we've recommended him to a neighbor as well.
Description of Work: Will and his crew replaced hinges on 9 doors, repositioned the striker plate of a door that wouldn't close properly, hung 2 items in a closet and secured a loose board in our attic.

Will and his crew did a GREAT job, start to finish -- and did it all in one day. The workmanship was excellent, and they were all friendly and courteous. They are committed to quality and do not cut corners. This is the second time we have hired The Handyman Can and will do so again. We've also recommended them to a friend who was thrilled with the job they did.

Will did a wonderful job in replacing the flooring. They were there on time and the job actually took a little longer than anticipated, but it was done beautifully. They used drop cloths to cover everything and took great care in their work. I would highly recommend them for any type of handyman work.

They did a great job. We were very pleased with the results and price and will use them again. We priced out two or three handymen and it was a no-brainer to go with Will. He gave us a written estimate breaking down the cost of each project (one handyman didn't even take notes during our walk through), and his price was comparable or lower for each project. It was a pleasure having Will and his crew in our house. My son was 3 months old then and they could not have been more respectful of his napping and feeding schedule. Will even ran out to the hardware store to exchange the vanity sink that in his opinion (he was right!) didn't match the bathroom tile. I made an emergency evening call to Will about something that came up in our home inspection months after he did work for us and he called us first thing the next morning, as soon as he received the call. He was as kind and patient as always and gave us easy-to-understand advice about how to fix the problem ourselves.
Description of Work: Will Grant and his crew completed a number of misc. projects for us before we put our house on the market, including: (1) Painting bedroom and bathroom; (2) Installing bath vanity, medicine cabinet, and lights; (3) Fixing interior doors; (4) repairing rotted exterior siding; and (5) Fixing other misc. items.

Will handled this fairly complex job extremely well, doing most of the work himself. He did fine work on the tile, which required the most craftsmanship. He also solved several problems effectively as they came up, including having to relocate a stack pipe that was in the way of the new pocket door. Will is incredibly hard working and very reliable. He is also extremely fair in his prices. If you are looking for someone who can do almost anything, and do it with care and unflagging good spirits, look no further than Will Grant - this Handyman Can do great work!
Description of Work: Will Grant did renovation work on our master bathroom and dressing area. This included new tile in the bathroom, installing two new bath vanities and other cabinetry, installing an inset medicine cabinet, creating a sliding pocket door, putting up closet organization hardware in two closets, new closet doors, a ceiling fan, several lights, painting both rooms, plus other miscellaneous items. We supplied most of the materials. The price also included some other odd jobs around the house including re-caulking some skylights, fixing a sticky door, creating an access door to the water main, etc.
