Eli and his team built a library in the front room of my house for me. The contract/design process is a bit informal in the emails and texts, but replies were quick and I trusted all of the reviews here. I'm glad I went with them because they ended up doing a fantastic job - everyone was extremely professional/communicative and the entire team was on time every day for the week they worked on the project. I highly recommend Eli and his team for custom built-ins! We think it turned out amazing and are excited to add more books to our library! read more

Eli finished a renovation in my home after the initial company had to unexpectedly exit, with the bulk of the work being the replacement of 10 custom doors.

Plus, they repaired some rough walls and painted the space. Their attention to detail is what you always hope for. Highly recommend them! read more

Amitay no longer does small handyman jobs. Please update your listing! On the plus side, he responded to the message I left even though he didn't want the job - that says a lot, I think. read more

Eli and his team solved a tricky issue with exterior door rot due to moisture, and additionally did work on our deck. He was not only responsive upon outreach, but demonstrated deep knowledge and skill in assessing the problem and proposing a solution. He and his team did fantastic work, showed up on team, and left the site clean. I shopped multiple quotes and his was both the best and most cost-realistic.

Probably one of the best experiences I've had with a general contractor. read more

Eli and his crew recently completed a long list of projects for us in our home. Not only was the work done to a very high level of quality, but they were ALWAYS prompt, professional, and responsive. I've never worked with such an impressive crew--I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Eli and his crew were excellent, highly recommend! Eli responded quickly, advised on what kind of design would work in the space and checked in often to see if I had questions or feedback during the project. They installed built in bookshelves and cabinets around the fireplace in our dining room. Very pleased with the outcome that was within the estimated cost and time. Will definitely contact them for future projects. read more

Fantastic find on Yelp. Arrived on time, had many tasks for Eli to complete around the office from hanging pictures and whiteboards to assembling conference tables. No task was too small. Eli was extremely friendly and efficient! Definitely will be someone to call upon again. Thank you! Note: I am based out of Salt Lake City, but I used Eli for services at our DC office location. read more

From information and time he took to assess the work and provide options (underwent deck/balcony remodel in DC rowhome) to the timeline and estimate, to the quality of the work, and even to communication (via text and email)--Eli and his crew did an outstanding job. Great experience all around! Thanks again, Eli! read more

Not able to service, said that they did not have a shop and could not build the custom closets we wanted.

I contacted Eli after seeing several reviews on yelp and, as others have said, he was prompt, he showed up when he promised he would, he gave a very fair estimate and his team was professional, nice and came with all the tools they needed to get the job done. Our wonderful puppy went through a chewing phase and took out our banister, some hardwood steps, a windowsill and lots of trim work along the floor. Eli measured everything assured me it would all be fixed in a day, and sure enough there is now no sign the dog ever did any damage. Thanks Eli! Great job. read more

Eli continues to support us through another challenging renovation project. We're looking forward to working with him again to finish it up!

Belatedly posting. We've been working with Eli for a few years. Last spring he built a deck. It's beautiful. He also re-did our front walk, put in flagstone over ugly concrete, rebuilt steps and tore down portico that was falling apart. He and his team are professional, skilled, reliable and efficient. He is very honest, gives you straightforward assessment and explains why something you want will or won't work. Highly recommend him. read more

Eli and his team (among other things) built some bookshelves in our hallway and living room. They look great...and more, they are strong. Eli said "you could climb these shelves" and he's right. High quality carpentry and good materials. And Eli was a pleasure to work with. read more

We hired Eli and his team on 2 separate occasions to do some work around our house. The heart of the jobs was removing an old built in bench seat, repairing some walls, and painting walls. Great work both times. read more

Eli Amitay and his crew did an exceptional job upgrading our screened porch to make it more dog proof, and at a fair price. They added cedar balusters all around (about 60). The spacing is even and accurate and they meticulously cut each baluster to fit tightly into the existing frame. They also rescreened the entire porch and took the time to remove 100's of old staples from previous screen installations and sanded down the surface for a tight and smooth screen fit. They also painted all of the trim and balusters. They arrived on time each day and cleaned up before leaving. I selected Eli Amitay after meeting with two other well rated contractors who seemed uncertain about retrofitting balusters, but said they would do the job. From deck building and other carpentry experience, Eli was very clear about how best to approach the job and then delivered on that expertise. I would definitely hire them again for any work we might require in the future. read more

Unlike some shysters in the home imporvement/ contracting world, Eli is a person of great integrity. A smart man who stands by his word. Very helpful for all sorts of projects. He also is a good friend to have. He has very good connections and is a valuable asset to the DC area. 11 Stars all the way. read more

Eli gave a competitive quote to vent several fans (microwave and two bathrooms) outside our house, and we went with him on the strength of that, these positive Yelp reviews and his friendly, professional demeanor. He and his crew didn't disappoint. They arrived on time, helped troubleshoot some parts issues and made quick and clean work of the job. Highly recommend them. We'll hire again for any projects that stretch beyond our DIY abilities. read more

I've been looking for a reliable, honest and capable handyman for a while and the search stops with Eli. He communicates well, cleans up after himself and most importantly does great work! He built wooden covers for our metal baseboard heaters to keep them safe with our toddler. Even when there was a minor problem he didn't hesitate to come back and fix it. I hired him again and today he finished a radiator cover, shelves and installed shoe molding on stairs. Again, I'm so happy with his work, timeliness and consideration. I will definitely hire Eli again in the future. read more

We have a small outdoor (dugout basement) area which was all concrete. We hired Eli to craft a wooden deck/floor. He did a fantastic job and even gave much needed advice about enlarging the (shower) drain our developer put in to better accommodate heavy rain fall. He is extremely professional, has excellent attention to detail, and his craftsmanship is superb. We are very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone! read more

This is absolutely NOT THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS. I have been calling for 8 days straight (like 3-6 times a day ). The first 7 days, I could not leave a voice mail...machine/voicemail was full. On day 8, I was able to leave a voice message....that was 5 days ago...STILL NO RESPONSE FROM Eli Amitay. I started calling about 7 weeks before I need to start the project....and it has been about 3-1/2 weeks now. I even emailed hime... For all those who got through, I would appreciate info on how you got through. If business was or is so good, isn't it simple common sense to hire a receptionist or someone to answer the phone, pay them, and have them return customer calls? All these wonderful reviews on yelp, etc....I am now not so sure if they are genuine. SAD!!!! THIS RESPONSE FROM ME WAS ADDED AFTER MR AMITAY'S RESPONSE TO MY REVIEW ABOVE......... YES...YES...YES....I DID E-MAIL YOU.....I GOT NO, ZERO RESPONSE!!!! read more

Absolutely best in the area. I sent a Messege requesting a handyman at 0500. I had a great handyman name David at my front door at 0800. He did everything and the price was reasonable. I have these guys locked in my phone. I highly recommend this guy! read more

Eli and his team were responsive and professional. We're very pleased with the carpentry and painting work they did for us.

Eli and his crew did an incredible job replacing our back porch at a very fair price. They were reliable, did great work, and cleaned the site up nicely. We'll definitely be calling again. read more

I wasn't able to get any work done as his ad says DC and surrounding area, which everyone know shrouding areas include MD and VA but when I called he said he that Upper Marlboro, MD was too far so I think you need to revise your ad to say you ONLY want to work in DC so we don't waste time bothering you for work we done that's in MD or VA. It's too bad as your reviews were good so my only request is you specifically say you don't want to come out past a certain point. Thanks read more

Outstanding job by Eli and his team doing some repairs to our deck. Eli always responded in a timely fashion - we got an estimate and the work was completed much more quickly than previous contractors we have used. We will definitely be using them again. read more

Emailed and called them to get a quote. They responded with very brief and vague response. Never bothered to schedule a visit. I guess either my project is too small or those dudes have lots of businesses in their plate. I won't recommended them or use them in the future. read more

We hired Eli to build a window bench for our bedroom. He was very responsive to my emails and he and his crew did a great job. We showed him pictures of benches that we liked and they replicated exactly what we wanted. He would give updates throughout the 2-day process and had me check the work through the different stages to make sure I was happy with the progress. The process was easy and the pricing was fair. We're very pleased with our new bench and have already recommended him to several neighbors. When considering future house projects, we will call Eli and his team! read more
