This business outsourced to another business Crown Service Group . The serviceman Dimitri was incompetent. He ruined our bathroom tub and didn't complete the cabinet painting. Reached out several times unfortunately , Dimitri did not show to rectify this mistake. We have been given many excuses for not showing to fix the negligence. At this point, we are looking to other companies to fix this mistake. Honestly, we are going to be spending more money to rectify this issue. We also reached out to Rachel office manager and to no avail has offered to assist in this matter. These two companies are fraud. I would not recommend. read more

Mike was very professional and was able to quickly help me remove my stuck appliance from under my counter for a reasonable price.

Mike did an amazing job installing a temp wall with a door in it. He even found some paint in my house that matched my wall and painted the temp wall so it blends In perfectly. I was expecting something way less sturdy but this is exceptional. Everything is painted to match! read more

I talked to a bunch of plumbers in the area for a simple job to replace a garbage disposal and was getting quotes ranging from $375 to $450. I called Mike, and he offered to do it for $210. He came on time and knew what he was doing and was courteous and easygoing. I would definitely recommend him. http://holmeshandymanservices.com/ read more

This is a long overdue review, but Mike installed a temporary pressurized wall in our living room to create an extra bedroom. The wall only took a few hours to install and can be taken down easily with no damage as it does not attach directly to the ceiling or floor. Guests are so surprised as they can't even tell it's a "fake wall". Installation, which was a fair price, included a door, priming and painting the wall, and we paid extra for insulation. Mike was on time, professional, and very flexible with scheduling, as we had to reschedule last minute due to an unexpected ceiling leak from the upstairs unit the day before our installation date. We will definitely be hiring him to take down the wall at the end of our lease, and I would highly recommend Mike for your temporary walls, home improvement, handyman, and contractor work. read more

I've used mike Holmes for several jobs big and small from hanging a picture on my plaster wall to redoing a bathroom for my home and have also referred him to my clients. He is a contractor you can trust to give 100% good customer service and quality work. read more

Avoid! I reached out to Mike over 2 months ago for help installing a replacement interior door. He answered promptly, provided a fair estimate, and stopped by later that week to take measurements. And then it all went south. I reached out to him two or three times to schedule a follow-up (for the actual installation once the replacement came), and he confirmed that he'd connected with the wholesalers and would be good to go next week. And then nothing. I reached out to him several times over a 2 week period... but nothing. I continued checking in, and finally received a response that he'd be on vacation and could do it in a week or so. I continued reaching out over and over and over and then I gave up. With the time I spent trying to chase him down, I could have picked up and installed the door myself. Unprofessional.... I'd avoid. read more

This was my first time meeting Mike, and hopefully not my last. I had a leaky faucet that was turning my kitchen into a mildew-y disaster. No plumbers were able to come right away, unless they were charging out the nose. Mike was quick to respond to my evidential picture text messages, and quick to come fix my leaky faucet 24 hours later. He's professional, reliable, and punctual. He's also very friendly and reasonably priced. Now I'm looking around the house for things that need to be fixed. Looking forward to using his services again! read more

Mike is extremely professional, courteous, kind, and skilled. He is also punctual and friendly, a rarity in this profession. He works quickly, efficiently, and competently. I would strongly recommend him. read more

Mike did a wall mount of my large flat screen. Great job. Responsive on scheduling. Showed up on time. Work was done thoroughly and professionally. Price was more than fair. I'll have no problem contacting Mike again when I need some handyman services. read more

I had Mike come out on New Year's Eve morning to do some work around my house, including installing two vanity lights, a flush mount light and a showerhead. He was on time, professional and just a great guy. He responded promptly to my email, and gave a reasonable quote. We encountered some problems (with the way the original lights were installed) that required him to do drywall, and some other fixes. It didn't faze him; he's a true professional. I highly recommend him. It's particularly great that he was willing to do work in downtown Washington, which often can be difficult. read more

Absolutely five star rating. Very accommodating, prepared and professional. They arrived on time and didn't complain about the horrible parking and the fact that they had to carry everything up four flights of stairs in a building with no air conditioning. Top notch work. Their shirts say they can repair everything (but a broken heart). Their shirts were right!! They have a fully equipped work van with limitless supplies and they completed all of my to do list quickly and with obvious skill. Very pleasant to work with. Would definitely recommend them!! read more

This is mixed bag review. I manage several properties in the DC/MD area. After reading the reviews on yelp, I contacted Mike. He was upfront about his pricing and knowledge about the work. I had several jobs for Mike. We started with a relatively basic job so that the work could be evaluated in light of bigger jobs to come. I found Mike to be very slow about responding to requests and communication, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. When I mentioned it to Mike, his response was that he is busy on multiple jobs and doesn't always have time to respond. I decided to proceed with the job so I could see what the work was like. The job involved step repair and threshold replacement. His crew came and was very professional and did excellent work. Because of the good job that was done, I proceed with a second job request. The second job never really got off the ground. Communication response time from Mike was painfully slow. He did do a site visit where he went to the second property to evaluate what needed to be done. After the visit, he was supposed to contact me with an estimate. I didn't hear from him. Two days later, my tenants contacted me and said "Hey the contactor said he was coming back today but he's not here. What's up?" Mike hadn't told me planned on going back that day, so i was caught off-guard. When I contacted him, he said he was still looking for materials for the job. Since it was a weekend (Sunday) I asked him to contact me the next day so we could get back on track. He never called. I waited 5 additional days before finally deciding to go with a more responsive contractor. Mike still never responded. As a result, I would grade him a 1.5. The work on the one simple job by his crew was great. But because communication and responsiveness is so important to me, I can't recommend him highly at this point. If you are good with no communication, give him try. But if customer service, customer experience, and timeliness (especially for an urgent job) is important to you, probably not your guy. read more

I would highly recommend Mike to anyone who wants to install a temporary wall in their apartment/house. He and his team were incredibly professional- showed up early, explained what they'd be doing, and cleaned up after they finished. The price was very fair, especially for how well the wall blends in to the apartment. read more

Very bad quality of work and not reliable. Very disappointing as Mike was recommended to me.

I used Mike Holmes for about 6 jobs over 2 years. I liked that he allowed me to use my charge card, so I continued to use him even though I was irritated a few times with his shoddy work. The 2nd to last job, I asked him to cut a gas pipe so new cabinets could be installed. He came right away, which was commendable. But, he left a 8" x 12" hole in the wall. For a city dweller, that means mice can enter my home. I asked him to fix the hole and do a drywall patch. He refused as he walked out of my house. I had to hire another man to do the drywall patch, thereby delaying the cabinet work after all. Mike then returned to replace an old exit door with a security door and glass door. Mike had given me the door measurements in advance. I had called Mike 2x from Home Depot to confirm the measurements and ask questions before I placed the order. Nonetheless, when the 2 doors arrived, they didn't fit the door area. Mike and his team chose to cut the bricks to fit the door. Mike did not bring a tarp. I had brick dust in my home for WEEKS. I totaled 9 hours of clean up, including washing my cat, my furniture, the walls, the tiles, and anything in sight in the first floor. I was coughing from inhaling the brick dust. (Mike had returned to Home Depot mid way in the job and didn't purchase a tarp to protect my home.) I asked Mike to return to my house, since the 2 door knobs bumped and thus the doors would NOT both lock. I sent him an email stating the next day that I would be home would be a Tuesday. I have one of those security cameras on a door bell. Mike showed up at my house the Monday before the Tuesday and he yelled into my door bell for 3 minutes. I have it on a camera clip. So, I called my neighbors and told them never to hire Mike again. When he returned Tuesday to fix the door knobs, I insisted that a friend be in the house with me when he was present. I also paid another handyman afterwards to fix the door frame and to apply mortar in between the bricks where Mike's crew left holes. read more

I work for a Major Moving Company. We delivered our customer into Washington DC on a Sunday. Unfortunately, while in transit, our customer's 2 drawer filing cabinet became jammed and locked some very important papers that were needed by the end of the day on Monday. With such short notice, we were not able to find one of our moving agencies that would be able to make it out that same day. I went on Yelp and saw that Mike had Five 5 star reviews from what seemed to be reliable reviewers, and I can see why. Not only was Mike able to make it out to our customer same day, he did so in a professional manner and at a very reasonable price. My customer was raving about him after he left. Mike helped us out of a sticky situation, and for that, we thank him. Definitely Recommend!! read more

On-time and professional. Did a great job repairing drywall damage and fixing the front door. We will definitely call Holmes the next time we need a home repair. read more

Mike has provided handyman services for me four times over the past 3 years. Each time I have been extremely pleased with the quality of his work and the reasonable price he charges. The first job that Mike did involved repairing broken pipes in the wall behind our kitchen sink. His work stopped an on ongoing leak that we had for weeks. He then installed a new kitchen cabinet to cover it up. He also reinstalled shower and shower walls. Most recently, he put up walls in our basement in order to create a new bedroom. He has also painted our basement floor and repaired and replaced drywall in our house. Mike is very reliable when it comes to quickly responding to requests for a job and he even recommends additional things that would make the job better. He uses the cash app so it is very easy to make payment even if you are not able to meet him in person. He is a very nice guy and very honorable. I respect the great work that he does and I highly recommend you use him for whatever your handyman needs might be. read more

Called for a toilet repair, 1st visit, charged $125 for twenty minutes and the turn of a screw, still leaks. 2nd visit he replaced the pump with a defective one. Still leaks, 3rd visit he wanted to charge again to come out, but I refused, waited over a week, when he replaced pump again. Still defective and still leaking, so now I have to get someone new out to fix it and pay again. Not recommended. read more
