David and his team replaced two bathroom vanities (which required some plumbing changes) and installed an access panel. They were responsive and timely. He said he would come at noon, he called to confirm he was on his way at 11:30 and arrived right at noon. He was clear about pricing and was communicative throughout the job. Everything is installed and looks and works great! They also cleared away all the trash associated with the job. I will definitely call them again for other projects. read more

We have used Capitol Handyman for multiple renovation projects and will 100% keep going back to them as needed. They have helped us completely renovate two bathrooms with custom showers, cabinets, and non standard tiles, retiled and painted our basement, painted our staircase wooden railings, and installed marmoleum flooring in our kitchen. Each time, David came up with creative and viable options for us, advised and accommodated us on any custom requests, kept us up to date on timeline, and made sure to check in with us on any decisions as the project evolved. David's crew is also very skilled, professional, courteous, and meticulous. They all have a very high sense of quality as evidenced by how well the tile fitting and flooring came out (we live in an old row house so nothing is straightforward). David also has a network of special contractors that he pulls in for special tasks (like installing a glass shower door). Their pricing is also reasonable , especially considering the value and peace of mind you get with David and his crew's professionalism. read more

David is great!! He goes above and beyond to address the root of the problem. I am a very happy repeat customer.

I endorse David's services as both a professional plumber and handyperson. He repaired a serious leak from my bath tub, replaced the bath drain/stopper, replaced several sink pop-up drain assemblies (including P trap and sink drain/stopper), reinstalled a bidet attachment, and installed two Toto toilets. He also patched up the kitchen ceiling where the tub leakage caused damage. David is consistently responsive, reliable, and professional. He may not be the cheapest, but he is transparent about pricing as well as risks he uncovers along the way behind the walls and floors, and he stands behind his warranty. After dealing with several unresponsive plumbers, I feel grateful to have his help! read more

While I live in LA, I hired David to work on my condo in DC. Excellent service, communication, and flexible. You can't go wrong hiring David. read more

Definitely recommend! David was very responsive and helpful. He fixed a leak in my kitchen and was very good about explaining the issues and cost estimates. read more

Drywall repair. Speedy and high quality. Very professional as well. Thank you for a job well done!

I asked David to help me replace an existing light with a ceiling fan. Mind you, I am a DIY-kinda gal and when he first quoted me $250/hr I was very skeptical....I looked on Taskrabbit and other sites to see if someone would be cheaper. It turns out that installing a ceiling fan in our 90 year old house wasn't very straightforward - there was a double ceiling, existing light was not actually attached to a beam, etc. David ended up having to make a large hole in the ceiling and other modifications to install the fan safely and properly. They also plastered/sanded/painted the ceiling and it looks great, like new! He was very professional and punctual. He & his workers were respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves. You can probably find a college student to help you with simple tasks for lesser quality & price. David may seem expensive, but you will be happy with his work, especially for more complicated work on older homes. read more

Capitol Handyman & Plumbing - Handyman Near Me - Washington DC, District of Columbia

Burst pipe happened near midnight the night before and by 9am David was onsite to assess our options. Got us a temporary fix so we could keep water through the house then first thing the next morning he was onsite with supplies. Him and his team rerouted a pipe away from the exterior brick to prevent another freeze issue down the road. Work completed this morning and you can't even tell that anything ever happened. Great work and a seamless process. read more

The plumbing work and customer service was great. David replaced the garbage disposal and the whole process from first inquiry to getting the job done was smooth and quick. While here, I asked David to check the shut off vales in the bathroom, because they are old and should be replaced. He took a look and explained what he recommended and why. I will definitely have David back to do more work for me. read more

David did an amazing job on my condo last week! The floors in my unit needed to be completely replaced, the drywall needed to be repaired, the whole place needed to be repainted, and the Murphy Bed needed to be moved and reassembled. I also needed two locks replaced. David took care of everything, and he did ahead of the deadline we had discussed. The best thing about working with David is that you can trust him. He gives you honest and reasonable rates for his work, is transparent about the timing of a project, and communicates clearly. If you live in the DC area and are looking for a handyman/contractor who you can rely on, David is your man! Take a look at the photos to see the great job David did on my unit! read more

See all

I didn't actually use the services of this company, so I cannot comment on the quality of their work. However, the communication is terrible. I've been in contact with David via email and telephone for weeks and he cannot find the time (after repeated requests) to look at his calendar and schedule a time to stop by for an estimate, even after I spent significant time taking and sending photos with detailed descriptions of the work needed. I wish I hadn't wasted my time and do not recommend this company. If you don't have availability, say so from the get-go rather than wasting people's time. It's unprofessional and shows a great degree of disorganization. read more

We had a bathroom nightmare because our old handyman didn't do a good job. We've used David and his team in the past and had them come take a look. His guys are thorough and good and he does his best to lay out options and be transparent. He also works with your needs to let you decide the best way forward. Our new bathroom after David's work is amazing and we couldn't be happier. read more

We cannot recommend David highly enough. We have worked with him several times, on both major and minor projects. Among the projects, David has installed 2 faucets for us, repaired a door, drilled holes to run wiring, and fixed a leak/repaired the aftermath from a bathtub that dripped through to the dining room ceiling. David is the only person I trust with my home and the first person I reach out to when we need work done. David always does quality work and ensures the project is like new before leaving. read more

David and his colleague did a great job repairing a door in a rental unit that wasn't closing and needed to be planed down. They were on-time, courteous, and met the deadline for completing the work. Not cheap, but definitely got the job done. read more

We had a spigot in our backyard that couldn't provide enough water to run a power washer. We knew it wasn't the power washer, or even the lines, because the front spigot worked great. We brought David out to take a look, and he diagnosed it immediately - the spigot was cracked! He fixed it and even moved it to a more convenient spot, repairing and painting the drywall as needed! The other thing we really appreciated about David is he walked through what he was doing and why, and what that meant in terms of maintaining the spigot - things like how to properly winterize the pipes and how to best avoid a similar crack in the future. When you live in a historic DC rowhome like us, or really any historic properties, that kind of instruction is really important - they are always pretty quirky to work with! read more

David was awesome -- fixed three toilets, caulked a shower, cleared a drain, sealed a leaky faucet, and replaced another faucet. Explained everything he was going to do, priced it all ahead of time (not cheap by any means, but you pay for quality I guess), and then did it and everything looks good. And sound good too -- the toilet that had been running for months is not anymore. read more

Like others, I also had a very good experience. I had three different projects, and David and another handyman from their company got them done in short order. They pointed out issues that I hadn't thought of and came up with good solutions. It was easy to communicate with them before and during, and the pricing was fair and transparent. Great service! read more

Great and easy install.. was within an hour mr . He also gave some advice on my drainage. read more

Capitol Handyman & Plumbing - Garbage disposal - Handyman Near Me - Washington DC, District of Columbia

David was extremely prompt, responsive, and upfront about everything from price quotes to how long things would take, etc. He takes pride in his work and did a great job replacing my faucet, including explaining other maintenance issues I might have in the near future. read more

My shower had a recurring, very mysterious leak. Three other plumbers had tried to identify the problem, but it was David and Juan who were able to figure it out! Not only did they identify the issue but they were also incredibly kind, timely, respectful, and communicative. Overall, (given the leak) a great and pleasant experience! read more

David and his partner were great to work with. Very communicative in terms of planning a date for a garbage disposal repair and transparent with pricing and cost estimates. I also appreciated David's care taken when choosing a replacement disposal and giving me good feedback on the choice of model and brand. The repair was done very quickly and professionally with masks and the new disposal works great. I would recommend Capitol Handyman & Plumbing emphatically. read more

Moishe and his team were incredible! We had a door that needed reframing. They told me what needed to be done, how much it would cost, and were on time to do the work. Not only were they very professional, they were incredibly friendly. A great combination! Moving forward we will ONLY be using Capitol Handyman and Plumbing and Moishe and his team!! read more

So glad a neighbor recommended Capitol Plumbing & Handyman -- David and Juan were kind enough to squeeze me in ahead of schedule when my kitchen plumbing issue took a turn for the worse. They quickly diagnosed the problem and walked me through a variety of solutions without trying to upsell me. Would definitely use again. read more

you can do better. Make sure to check whether the additional costs (parts) indicated as necessary are really needed

I needed some handyman work done in my condo. Had heard about David through a friend and decided to give him a call. Very responsive and courteous on the phone. Gave me a quote for the work done. Then, while here, I showed him some shelves that needed rebuilding and he figured out how to fix them, redo my baseboard, and more! He and his team did an amazing job both with the handyman work and the reconstruction of my kitchen. Couldn't recommend more! read more

I would highly recommend Capitol Handyman for their highly responsive team and follow through. We had a faucet leak in our kitchen, and I reached out for an emergency repair. I got a response within minutes and they were getting ready to send David out the same day. We ended up using a friend who was able to come in and take care of the issue, but I know who to call next time I need immediate and efficient service on plumbing repairs! A sense of urgency in times of stress is highly appreciated. read more

Extreme arrogance on phone. You have to remember you are a customer service. Did not want to listen to my problem which I described. I don't feel he can be trusted. Moving on. read more

Very quick and knowledgeable. It took less than an hour to get the repair completed. He also accepted PayPal which was convenient.

David is very responsive and knowledgeable. He helped me handle some minor plumbing issues, and gave me some advice on how to handle some issues with my sink. He's the first that I'll call if I need something done! read more

I had a leak from the bottom of my garbage disposal and reached out to David about a repair or replacement. He was very responsive to me over Yelp and gave me a four hour window for just a couple of days later. He arrived on time, assessed the situation, and made a recommendation quickly. In the end I think the service was worth the price. My recommendation to others would be to look at purchasing a garbage disposal in advance and asking if David can install it - it cost ~$80 more from David than from Amazon. I am not sure what local hardware stores charge. The convenience of having this taken care of today was worth the price to me, though - no two trips for David, no two days out of the office for me. They came and had all of the tools and parts required to handle it today. My only gripe is that David does not accept personal checks and that is not clear to me from his Yelp page. He prefers cash or credit card which was difficult for me as a landlord without a business credit card - it may not be as big of a deal to others. Overall I would recommend others reach out to David for plumbing issues. I will most likely return to him as well. read more

Very timely response and price was best that I received. Had them install a garbage disposal. Showed up on time and very neat and efficient. Will definitely use him again if something comes up. (only wish he had told me he charges 3% on credit card or paypal transactions...I could have had cash)... read more

I called the night before for a garbage disposal issue that I had underneath my sink. I scheduled an appointment for the next day, which I was grateful for because of the short turnaround. They called 30 minutes beforehand letting me know that they were arriving, and then again when they had arrived. They came in, explained the contract/prices, and fixed the issue with no problem. They kept the area clean and threw out the old dispenser on the way out as well. Clean, quick, and professional. Their prices are reasonable and would do business with them again. read more

I am disappointed to have to write this review, especially when this business has such good reviews otherwise. I had an awful experience with Capitol Handyman and would not recommend using them. I hired Capitol Handyman to fix my shower knob because it had fallen off. My shower was otherwise working fine and had solid water pressure. They replaced the knob ($250 installation, I bought the part myself for $100) and told me that I needed to add sealant to showers in my house. I paid them $290 to put sealant on two showers and a bathtub. I thought it was very steep, but the plumbers seemed ok so I went along. After they installed the knob, David called me to the bathroom to check the water pressure. Since they just put in sealant, he said he couldn't turn on the full shower head and just showed me the water coming from a second shower head into a bucket. I couldn't tell if it was how it was before, but it looked alright and I trusted them (I also didn't see how it would be broken now), so let them go on their way. 24 hours later, I tried the shower and it was completely broken. Almost no water came out of the main shower head. I was surprised since it worked perfectly fine before Capitol Handyman came over. I asked them to come back to take a look. When they did, David did nothing to try to fix it. David started yelling at me to the point where my roommate came out of his room to make sure I was ok. I had not raised my voice at all at David and did not during the course of our conversation. He said that he thought the pressure was bad after they "fixed" it, which is why he asked me in the first place. It seemed like he was covering his tracks. It felt like he knew something went wrong during his installation and he didn't want to admit it. Instead of trying to fix anything or make recommendations on what to do, he just blamed me for not catching the bad water pressure in the first place. I was stunned. I went from a shower with a broken handle to a broken shower. Perhaps we could have communicated and figured out a way to fix the problem. But I am not in the business of paying hundreds of dollars to have someone come into my home and yell at me, especially when I did nothing wrong. Instead, I paid Capitol Handyman almost $600 to make a problem worse. read more

I had a very good experience: he was very responsive to messages, great about communicating when he could come to the house, very efficient, competitively priced, and willing to honor his pricing even when part of the job unexpectedly turned out to be more difficult than we thought. read more

I had a small repair request. (Running toilet) Mizrachi handyman was available to come the same day and fix it. Very responsive and reasonable prices. read more

David was very prompt. I called late one afternoon and he scheduled a time the next morning to come fix my tenants leaky toilet and replace a valve. He was prompt, keep me informed of his arrival time. He explained the problem, fixed it quickly and left the space clean. 5 Stars! read more

Fast, quick, honest, transparent service with quality results. Capitol Handyman came out for a quote and completed all the work within a week, the same week we initiated the request. Completed a project to install a ceiling fan in a location that had no fan box or electricity. Required drywall modification and repair, running electricity and installing an outlet as well as the fan. The result was excellent and I'm thrilled to have our new fan. Also completed two plumbing repair projects to replace a cracked PVC valve and a repair a leaking outdoor spigot. Will contact again for future projects. read more
