About us

Top Dog Professional Handyman Svcs is a division of Heiston kitchen and bath, which has been remodeling homes in the northern virginia area for nearly 20 years. Family owned and operated by Rod Heiston, Heiston kitchen and bath has earned itself a worthy reputation for outstanding, high-quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. Unlike large handyman franchises, top dog was created to bring this same level of expertise and professionalism to small and big jobs that don’t require the high level of planning and design of most Heiston remodeling projects. As a small business, they do not have large overhead costs for marketing and operations, thus, can pass on the savings directly to customers. And top dog does it all: install a ceiling fan, install a toilet, inspect a sump pump, fix a dry wall, detect and fix a leak, grout tiles, replace a faucet, install a new sink, replace your windows, fix a roof, repair a drywall, no job is too big or too small for topdogging! In efforts to offer simple and economical services, top dog makes rough estimates right over the phone for most projects. If the job is too large, a consultant will drive out to your home to discuss budgets and perform a free estimate. The fee is always the same, so you’ll never be surprised by a large bill. Top dog's price structure is the most economical in the area. Offering the lowest service charge, jobs are billed at an affordable, fixed hourly rate per man-hour. If you find a better offer, show us the proof and top dog will match it! Our jobs are usually represented by up to 2 technicians (representing up to 2 man-hours) so we can get the job done right and fast for your convenience. If your job only requires 1 technician to complete, we will be upfront and honest not charge you for the extra man hour. Additional DBAs - Heiston Construction Inc, Heiston Kitchen & Bath. Additional website - www.heistonkitchenandbath.com. We use licensed sub-contractors for plumbing and electrical when necessary.

They ended up charging me $700. It took 40 minutes, tops, to do all the sinks. They wanted to charge me $700 because they told me the Angie's List coupon was for one faucet only. They said it cost $295 each to install other faucets. I was supplying the faucets and did not buy the hardware from them. I talked them down about $100 but it still ended up costing me about $600 to install 3 faucets.
Description of Work: I had purchased a big deal for $99. They were supposed to come because I had 3 sinks to install.

Handyman service was to seal gutter corners with sealant because some of the corners were leaking. Paid almost 500 to do the job but after the next rain we found one corner that was still leaking. Called back and they refused to come out unless we paid them again. They need to stand by their work.

Rod and his crew are the first ones I call with issues with my home. With preparing my condo for sale, I've contacted him a lot. He us quick to respond and fits me into his schedule as soon as he can. His prices are VERYcompetitive and he is even open to discounts for frequent customers. His company''s work quality equals their ethics and caring. They are an excellent company to work with. I only wish I could take them with me when I move. Its so hard to find a good handyman, especually in a new area.
Description of Work: Eric reviewed my list of issues from the home inspection on the house I'm selling. He quickly repaired what he could and provided excellent advice on the two issues he didn't have the equipment, expertise or experience to fix. Even though he couldn't fix those last two items, his advice will end up sacing me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

I purchased the Big Deal because I needed to get a small bathroom updated quickly to get my condo ready to place on the market. Top Dog are kitchen and bath specialist so Rod knew exactly what I wanted done without me have to explain the job. He outlined the tasks he thought the team could get accomplished in the 16 hours and provided a detailed list of materials and supplies to be used. Looking forward to working with them.

They told me I needed a new knob in the basement that leads up to the outside faucet, however, they did not tell me until the job was completed that they don’t take credit cards. Luckily, I had enough cash on me that day to pay them. They were able to find a leak from a busted pipe in my upstairs bathroom shower, but I still need some other work done and would not call them again to come out.

Top Dog was great! We initially contacted them about a separate problem, but they were super jammed and couldn't send someone out right away. Instead of leaving me high and dry, Rod was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and walk me through what I needed to do to fix it. Fantastic! When our shower faucet broke, Top Dog was the first place we called. They sent someone out right away and they were able to fix it quickly with no problems. Would definitely use them again!

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. It turned out pretty well. We were very pleased with the speed to get things started and the overall work. It took a long time even with a crew of four so the rate was about twice what I had expected. The $799 I paid for the Big Deal got their foot through the door. I would hire them for future work but I would be real clear upfront on the price and the time it would take to do the job.

I would call them adequate. They did what they said they would, I watched them do what they did, it looked to me like they brushed the dust off and said $69 please. I thought it would have run fine without them. I got what they said I was going to get I suppose. They showed up on time, they did what they said they were going to do, and Angie's List could only let me schedule one furnace, and it was hard to schedule another one. It took me two weeks to schedule the 2nd furnace, and it took several phone calls. I don't know if this service is even necessary. They charged what they said they would. They were probably busy that time of the year with their special. I am not sure if I would use any provider, because I don't know if this service is necessary.

I described the work to be done in detail on a telephone call and reviewed the hourly price charged. After a few postponements, Top Dog showed up with 4 employees and no materials. Two employees stood around for an hour and a half while the other two went for supplies. The work was completed in about 4 hours. Top Dog then spend the rest of the day dreaming up new work to do...cleaning out gutters, mostly. The boss showed up and pressed my wife for more things to keep 4 men busy the entire day. She called me at work to complain about the "pushy" attitude of the boss...it was unnerving...and I spoke with him on the phone. Can't recall the dummy's name, but his claim was that Top Dog comes for "an entire day, not just for 2 jobs." The point is that I'd never hire 4 workers at $100 an hour per worker to clean gutters. I found the company to be completely unethical and would NEVER use them again at any price. A total ripoff. Why they are on Angie's List is a mystery to me. Howard Jensen

Response from Top Dog Professional Handyman Svcs
Top Dog Professional Handyman Services and Heiston Kitchen and Bath works extremely hard to please all of our clients. It’s our goal to make every project a complete success. I can certainly understand why you would be frustrated owning a house in such a condition as this one but please don’t take it out on us. We worked extremely hard on the repairs that were much needed and I will quote you, “I described the work to be done in detail on a telephone call and reviewed the hourly price charged”. Issues that were addressed 1. Roof leaks throughout home. 2. Removed a broken cupola. The cupola was a total loss due to age and lack of maintenance and was a direct cause of a roof leak. (Working from heights over 40 feet without a any type of lift. We used ropes and a crew of five, including my self. This was not easy but was a total success. 3. Repaired a 2nd cupola, replace water damaged wood, used a commercial roof material to fix a water leak, and installed PVC boards to prevent future wood rot. 4. Repair a metal barn roof that was in a collapsing state. This building was obviously built by amateurs and needed immediate attention. We added multiple roof trusses, remove and reinstalled the metal sheathing that was hanging off, and reinstalled the metal sheathing that had fallen to the ground. 5. This goes a bit further than gutter cleaning. I think he was growing a swamp up there. As the day went on the wife was so impressed with my team’s performance and had added more work and offered to make lunch, if it were up to her, she would have had us back for the next day. I think if [name removed] would have been there to see our performance he would have too.

Everything was great. Two workmen arrived at appointed time and worked for 7 1/2 hours. They first put down paint tarps throughout the house to protect the floors and taped up plastic sheeting to keep drywall dust out of rest of the house. Work was impeccable. You cannot even tell there was ever any ripped up drywall.

I sent an email the day I purchased the deal and never got a response. I did allow a good deal of time before we tried contacting them again and during that time we never heard from them either. This time, my husband reached them by phone and they did a phone consult and said they could 'probably' come by on Saturday 2/22. When they did not call or email to confirm they were coming my husband called them that Friday night the 21st and left a voice mail to please let us know the status so we would know to be home or not. We again never received any return call or email nor did anyone show up. My husband did finally receive a voice mail the following Monday the 24th, nearly a week after originally contacting them, stating they did apologize but just got back into town and just found out there man did not come. At this point after several attempts to contact them we had to move on due to the leak we needed them to fix becoming bigger. Very disappointed considering we purchased this deal based on other reviews on here.

I had them install a faucet fixture in a powder room. I had them also check a couple other fixtures too around the house. They sent out a very nice man. The installation was quite difficult and he tried really hard, but shortly after he left, it became loose. There was also some damage to the marble floor due to the installation. I did not call and let them know that the fixture became loose so they were not able to respond to that.

I am not happy. I called them and realized that the Big Deal wasn’t what I expected. I wanted ceiling fans installed. They said the job I was looking to have done would be hundreds of dollars more, around $350-400. They said the Big Deal cost did not include the electrician’s time. The Big Deal was not as advertised. It was misleading. I ended up doing the job myself instead.

Response from Top Dog Professional Handyman Svcs
I’m not sure how we can get a Rating at all when you had never used our services. This customer decided not to use his Big Deal offer once we explained to him the prewiring he needed for ceiling fans was outside the seven services we had on sale. In addition the contractor or homeowner needs to pull a permit witch will increase cost. Sorry folks but we have to follow the laws. Please stop writing false reports just because you don’t get your way. This is a quote from this customer. “They said the Big Deal cost did not include the electrician’s time.

Top dog was very responsive, happy to answer questions over the phone, and very thorough in trying to accurately address the problem of really cold pipes and really poor builder insulation in my house. They insulated the pipes, tore intro drywall and put better insulation all around the walls by the pipes (in response to pipes freezing). They also fixed a toilet and replaced some valves.

They did about 35 minutes of work and charged me for a full hour. They did a pretty good job, it looks nice and the leak was gone, but they did not communicate the price at the time. I sent a message to followup on Sunday and they replied today, Wednesday. I told them I wasn’t happy with the way I was charged and the late arrival, the response I got back was a hollow apology. I gave them some advice on how to be a better businessman. I had another handyman come to do some other work on our house, including fixing the water pressure in the shower which decreased after the faucet work that was done, and he said I was ignorant of the laws regarding this kind of work. He then called me personally and was extremely hostile and said something about “tit for tat game” and said he had my company's information, which seemed like a threat. It came across that they did not appreciate my opinion.
Description of Work: I purchased a coupon for $109 for a plumbing service for Top Dog. They came out last Saturday. The original quote I was given was they would arrive between 12-3pm. The worker didn’t call until after 5pm and didn’t show up until 6:30pm. The original item was to replace a sink fixture that was leaking. When they came out, in the process of shutting off the water to the sink, the shut off valve started leaking too, so they replaced that.
