I went with DC Handyman because I trusted them when they said despite higher than market prices,…read morethe quality would be assured. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The job was quite simple, replace kitchen flooring with material provided. The team at DC Handyman confidently said they could do this then proceeded to butcher my floor. There were large gaps, ripped sharp edges, curved lines. The workers used no straight edge, no measurements, and no wood filler while destroying all the material. They could tell we were appointed with the job and left anyway saying there was not much they could do. I requested someone else complete the work, they said someone would come out but after follow ups, this never happened. I requested a partial refund then sadly they stopped responding. I gave them plenty of time to reach back out to me, instead they moved on and ignored my messages.

Mike did an amazing job repairing our leaky basement window! I reached out via email to show some…read morepictures of the damage. He replied back with an estimate and some times he could come out. He showed up on time, examined the window with me and laid out a plan for the repair. After working on it for a bit he brought me back down for an update: there was a lot more water damage than we expected. We made a new plan to replace more of the frame. There were a couple more surprises that kept expanding the job (more rotten wood, an old rats nest in the wall above the removed window, brick damage caused by the rotten beam bowing and not supporting the bricks above the window properly). The job ended up being a lot bigger and more expensive than expected (2.5 day job rather than 0.5 day; billing is by the hour and very straightforward), but I couldn't be happier with the work and the process. Rather than a quick patch job I ended up with a solid, long-term fix. Here are a few more reflections on working with Mike: -Great communication. Mike gave me frequent updates, walking me through what he found and what the options were. -I never felt like I was being upsold. Mike was very collaborative and empathetic when showing me problems and discussing solutions. -Mike's knowledge and skillset goes deep. If this had been a simple window sealant job with a frame board replacement I'm sure he (and probably lots of other handymen) would handle it great. But as we peeled back the onion and found more complexity it became clear how well he understands houses and how to make them work the way they're supposed to. Mike and Renaissance will definitely be my go-to for future handyman / painting / renovations needs. Thank you Mike!

It's hard to know which contractors you can trust. If you want to have your project done well and…read moreon time, hire Infinity Design Solutions. I've used IDS for four major projects (and a fifth is starting soon). I initially hired the company to repoint the front and side of my brick townhouse and to wall over an old AC box. They did a great job, so I hired them to do the back of the house, where they ultimately had to rebuild some very bad sections lurking beneath stucco. After an issue with a different contractor, I hired them to redo my drywall, and the team did a really nice job. Then I hired them to build new piers in my crawlspace. Next, they're doing insulation. Jeremy, the owner, seems very knowledgable. His project manager Kostas has been fantastic to work with, as has Raissa, who managed the latest. The teams have in each case arrived on time and worked incredibly hard. When unexpected issues arise (and they do, of course) the project managers address them. I'm sure you could find a less expensive contractor. But you get what you pay for and I'm glad that I don't have to worry about projects that drag on forever or fear for the quality of work performed.

Unless you like college kids passed out in the hallways and late night parties (like I do), you should not live here. With that said: The Apartments: They are great little first apartments for young twenty somethings. Standard white box with dreaded parquet panel wood flooring. A little on the pricey side, but hey you go to GW right? Facilities: The gym is good enough, as is the roof deck. The parking garage underneath is run by a-holes though that charge the same for residents as they do for the government hot shots that commute and park there. The laundry room was recently revamped and is as good as it gets for a building laundry room. ATM in building is awesome. Service: Nicest staff ever. Maintenance is quick and well done. The online website makes it easy to report problems, pay bills etc. Overall: I loved living here, but as soon as I graduated I had to GTFO right away. Side note: Don't listen to Chris R. He lived down on the 3rd floor and never had one party in his place. I think hes referring to his apartment and friends in "The Sims" game.

Tub Coaters sent out Geronimo promptly (next day) and he made some of the repairs even though it was almost 8pm. He's has been here before and I can confidently say he's equal parts patient and competent. Eric worked with me on the price and I'm happy with the service. As for WHY Tub Coaters wasn't picking up my calls and my 1 star review? Eric said that they use some fancy Voice over IP (VoIP) phone system and in an effort to avoid spam calls, the system blocks phone numbers that call repeatedly. What's the solution? They said they'd speak to their phone provider to get it fixed up. As for us customers, I'd suggest filling out their online form. Hopefully, those messages will be safe! If you get Alex's direct line, give him a call. He's still as reliable as ever

He just moved out after nearly 5 years there, and I have nothing but good things to say about his experience. His studio apartment was perfect for a college kid's needs, and anytime there were maintenance issues they were promptly addressed. He didn't have to worry about anything. The most important aspect of his stay there, though, was the staff. From George, who we helped us choose a unit and set up the lease, to the front door staff--especially Walter (who my son grew to love and will miss)--everyone went above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful, not just to my son but to my husband and me when we would visit. Even during move out this was the case (special mention again to Walter for his help--you are an angel!). Any GW parents looking into Hamilton House for their student: this is a really great option for off campus housing. It's quiet, safe, and the building is managed well. Can't recommend highly enough!

We had been searching for marble tile for an entrance hall in our apartment in Georgetown Park…read moreCondominiums in a wide variety of on-line and retail stone/tile companies in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. We ventured into the beautiful Stona showroom on Grace Street in Georgetown and were pleasantly surprised to find a marble mosaic that suited our purpose. The Stona staff were very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The owner, Mert Bakan promptly came to our apartment, took measurements and provided a very reasonably priced bid to do all the work including demolition and re-tiling. One of the things that we liked about Stona is that they have their own craftsmen, unlike many other stone retailers who could only recommend independent contractors whom we then would have to contact to do the installation. Stona provided a full service. Within a week of accepting their offer Stona sent two installers to do the job; small by comparison to many jobs (38 ft2). The installers were very careful removing the existing woodwork, which they refitted and replaced at the end of the job without damaging anything. (Frequently the demolition requires replacing the moldings.) The demolition of the existing floor was done without much disruption and the installation was very professional. Mert Bakan came to inspect the job before the installers left and to make sure we were satisfied with the entire process. He and his staff are friendly, helpful, and efficient as well as attentive to detail from start to finish. We are very satisfied with the finished product and would highly recommend Stona based on quality of materials, professionalism, price and overall efficiency.
