We've had Steve from S Fyvie Handyman Services out to our 50-year-old home in Burke a couple of times now, and we honestly couldn't recommend him more. He's always on time, super courteous, and just really easy to work with. So far he's helped us with everything from installing plumbing fixtures and medicine cabinets to repairing drywall and even adding some landscaping elements. Every job was done quickly, cleanly, and with real skill. What we appreciate most (besides how nice the work looks) is that his rates are fair and consistent -- no surprises. It's such a relief to have someone you can trust to show up, do the job right, and treat your home with care. Steve's our go-to handyman now, hands down. read more

Steve is THE man. I've been burned by other contractors in the past but Steve is just a world class person first. Although I am putting off the project I had in mind, he won't let me pay him for his time and effort looking for the spare parts that'll fit the cheap vinyl wood that the previous contractor that burned me installed since I didn't want to replace the whole flooring and only the problem areas. Im doing the next best thing since he won't accept compensation for his time and wanted to share with others my excellent experience with him. I'm so glad to have cross paths with Steve and will be solely using him for future projects. read more

He was efficient and very nice as well. Even helped me find the part I needed. Offered me the best price

Fabulous work done by Steve , and his assistant, Martin, on installing complicated mosaics in a bedroom. Despite our old house's crooked ceiling, Steve and Martin were able to install a wrap around mosaic frieze to look perfectly straight. Also they installed a large round mosaic on one of the walls. The entire process as very professional and easy- from the assessment, to the appointment the next week, and the price was much more reasonable than the other estimates we received. read more

We had a leak in the kitchen ceiling on the first floor. Steve showed up the same day to diagnose the leak. He found the leak within few minutes and and provided couple of options. We asked him to send us the estimates for the options and the next day he sent us the estimates. He also told us what to do about the leak while we are deciding on the options. We sat on the options for a week while my husband shopped around but ultimate I decided to go with Steve because 1) he did not propose any unnecessary work, 2) he gave practical and honest advice, 3) he was not pushy at all, and 4) he showed up on time to complete the project. FYI, he repaired our entire bathroom on the second floor because the subfloor was completely rotted. We changed our project a little during construction and Steve accommodated us. He always gave advice on how to proceed and the next way forward. read more

Installed a new screen door for us. Very reasonable, good communication. Would recommend!

It is such a relief knowing we have found our "go-to" guy for house help. We had an ever growing list of both small and bigger projects that I'd put off after unsuccessful searches for someone that could do it all. From the moment I contacted Steve via Yelp he made it easy. The day of, he quickly came in, assessed what was needed and got to work. Super efficient, friendly, and no fix-it's stumped in. Fantastic value and expertise, and looking forward to working with him again once the list grows again! read more

Steve has been nothing short than amazing and reliable in his service. I've always had trouble with getting my services completed by prior handymen but Steve has been answering all my questions and even calls back! His prices are very reasonable and he provides quality work. Would highly recommend. read more

Over the summer i contacted a few companies and handymen to upgrade/fix a few items at my moms house, before listing it on the market. I wanted to replace the vanity, cabinet, lighting and flooring in the main bath, update vanity and lights in second bath along with several other projects. Steve was the most resonable and honest as i was very frank with what i wanted done and wasnt looking to spend thousands, nor interested in upgrading to top of the line products. He even suggested putting it out as is, which i too had considered, but he was agreeable to do the work also if i wanted to go that route. He ended up doing quite a bit as my list grew but he was always willling to accomdate and fit me into his schedule. He was flexible with my requests and patience with my questions. He also provided me several referrals - one to a lumber yard which helped tremendously and his acquaintance who installs water heaters. I definitely trust Steve and would contact him in the future. A before and after just for reference. read more

Steve replaced the shower tile in my bathroom, and I couldn't be happier! The end result is just gorgeous! He's very skilled, knowledgeable, and he has great attention to detail. He was truly a pleasure to work with...friendly, efficient, and hardworking. He did amazing work at a fair price, and I highly recommend him! read more

Absolutely, positively the very best. I've lived in the same house for the past 40 years and have had probably 50 different people work on the property. Steve was the most efficient, knowledgeable, hard-working one of all. He responded to my initial call within an hour; appeared the next day to review the work I needed done, gave me a quote. He arrived on time on the scheduled day to get started. He completed all of the work (there were a variety of jobs) in a timely manner and everything was done to my satisfaction. His quotes were fair and honest. Additionally, he is a genuinely nice person. read more

Steve was amazing and did quality work. This was a three week project and he completely renovated the bathroom: removed floors, insulated the walls, corrected a few studs, tiling, and installation of shower doors, vanity, mirror, new toilet, and the light. He was quick to respond to my questions. For all that work he came back with a fair price compared to larger companies. His quote included base materials and labor. Everything else I purchased on my own. He offered to pick up the materials I ordered from the store if I couldn't pick them up myself. There was an issues with the shower faucet after he completed work. I called him and he dropped what he was doing to fix the problem. Steve was a pleasure to work with. He had a friendly personality and seemed knowledgable about his work. Every morning he provided an update of what he was to accomplish for the day. He also took precautions due to COVID by always wearing a mask and keeping his distance and when we spoke. I will definitely consider Steve for future home projects. read more

We recently moved and were looking for a handyman who was a do-it-all while being professional, high quality, punctual, cost effective and simply trustworthy when assisting us with decision making. Steve is now our go-to for all services. Our big project involved turning an outdoor shed into an office, roofing, electrical and plumbing, dry wall, painting, staining, electronics set up....he did it all!! That too well within our budget. One important factor for us is timeliness...he *always* showed up on time and completed the projects within the allotted time. He also has his buddy, Peter, who helped with the plumbing too. Another factor...honesty! I prize that a lot since he never pushed for projects and gave his frank opinion when he thought that a certain fix was not necessary and he had more cost-effective fixes. Now we have a home in excellent condition and a friend and handyman we trust and can always rely on. read more

I needed some shelves hung; Steve is a straightforward and hardworking handyman. I was very pleased with his work.

We've actually used Steve for different occasions, but he's been awesome each time. He's efficient and does quality work. Would definitely recommend him as a handyman. read more

Steve repaired our water damaged ceiling and fixed two other water damaged areas while also helping us install outside lights. He came Saturday and back again Sunday. He is professional and responsive. The costs were very reasonable. I would highly recommend hiring Steve for any job around the house. read more

Happy I finally found a true handyman. Steve is a hard worker, straightforward with scheduling and estimates, and very reliable. So far I've had him fix some toilets, a messed up washer/dryer connection, and take out half a wall to open my kitchen to my living room. Each job was done quickly, very reasonably priced, and of high quality. I also appreciate that if he doesn't know how to do something, he tells you straight up. I asked about some plumbing and electrical work and he didn't know how to do it. He said so and then provided referrals to people he goes to for help. If I trust Steve, I will trust his referrals. I plan to have a few more projects around my house finished off now that I have someone reliable. Forgot to take before pictures for my wall project otherwise I'd upload! read more

We had a leak onto our ceiling in our condo and needed a small drywall patch and paint job. Steve responded quickly with a competitive bid, and delivered the work quickly with high quality. Will use again! read more

Steve did a great job patching some drywall, repairing tile (it's tough to find someone who will do a small tile job), and taking care of a handful of smaller repairs around the house. He was easy to communicate with via text, his prices were fair, and scheduling was easy. read more

We recently moved and were looking for a handyman who could handle our variety of work requests. We presented Mr. Fyvie with a wide-ranging list of tasks: plumbing, electrical, painting (bannisters, cabinets, spindles and railings), running wires/internet cabling, shutter repair, installation of fixtures and fans, etc. He completed everything to our great satisfaction. He's punctual, responsive, hard-working, honest (told us if something wasn't possible or if there was a better way to complete something or even if something on our list wasn't really necessary). He's also the most reasonable in price that I could find. Really, I can't say enough positive things about Steve and his is a number that I will keep close; if ever we need anything handyman-related in the future, he's the only one we'll call. read more

Exceptional work, and customer service. Received call and contact within 1 hour, arranged for appointment same week, arrived with all tools, materials and professional expertise to do the job right the first time with a great attitude, open communication, clean up, and follow up plan for repairing drywall, ceiling mud work, and free consultation for home carpentry job. Charged exactly what quoted, best value compared to 8 other Yelp top options, even left extra drywall and mud for personal use or future projects with no upcharge for required materials, he had everything and as a professional expert, trained in Scotland provided better workmanship at a MASTER level contractor pricing. He took payment upon completion and did. not even count the cash, trust goes both ways. Will only use for use in my historical home ever going forward and will refer to all friends and family in NOVA and Georgetown/DC. Thank you!!! read more

Steve did some bathroom tile repair for me awhile ago...as in last year. LOL. I'm posting the review now because I did promise that I would write one. :P He did the repair quickly, and my tenant was happy. read more

Commonly in our area, the home repair estimators want to charge a fee just to show up and look at the problem, and then they send out a crew of day laborers to do the actual work. But not Steve. He came out to do an estimate for free, and then personally completed the work for us for a very reasonable price. So I think Steve is a great choice for a handyman. Very kind and honest guy. read more

Steve is the best of the best! Very reasonable cost, extremely responsive, quite knowledgeable and best quality of work!

I needed some drywall done after a plumber left us with a big hole in the wall installing some new prv piping. This resulted in needing two different access points to the valves. I wasn't sure how this could be done without having a huge cover which I did not want. Steve came out quickly, gave us an estimate which was quite reasonable. He showed up on time did a great job and we couldn't be happier. He insulated the new piping and installed a reasonable size access door that I am quite happy with. It is much better than what was there before. He was very knowledgeable and helpful answering our questions about other problems in the house. He is definitely going to be our go to man for repairs. We are planning to use him on several other things. I have also recommended him to my neighbors looking for a handyman. read more

Steve was super responsive and able to schedule me on the same day. He replaced my toilet tank valve assembly and flapper for a reasonable price. I will definitely use him again for other jobs. read more

BAD quality work, IRresponsible, Dishonest .... zero star. I hired Steve to do some repair work at home after I read the good reviews here. I doubt how many of these are from customers. The work was supposed to be done in 2 days. On the second day during noontime, he said he had another work needed to go to and left things half-done. One good ceiling fan/light was broken after he tried and failed to install a remote control to it. After several days he came to continue and left again at noontime without finishing his work saying that his son needed him. Then he told me he had to charge more to finish. Days later he came to finish the work which is VERY bad quality. I have to sand the wood filler and do the final paint myself. Every time he came I had to clean up behind him. He did damages to my wall when moving things around. He didn't touch up the wall paint after he installed new fixtures. He said that he had to pay to throw the replaced old room door to the junkyard and pursueded me to keep it. We later took it to the junkyard and paid nothing. read more

Great service, fast response! Great work! Will call again in the future. Called for a job that needed to be done before we left town and they responded within an hour and complete job within 2. read more

While I can't comment of Stephen's services I can comment on the fact he really helped us get someone quickly, reliable and reasonable to do some plumbing repairs for us with our short closing window when selling our house. Stephen was on vacation and the guy he referred us to was great. Other quotes I was getting were ridiculous. read more

Steve has been the most responsive and helpful. I needed help to put up some blinds. The blinds were not in the right size, and Steve kindly offered to come again when i got them exchanged. Go figure, the replacement was defective! But Steve offered to come again, for the 3rd time! read more

We called Steve this Spring to help with a variety of issues around the house. Our punch-list had Steve hauling a ladder on our third story roof to reach a chimney, scaling up and down all sides of the side and replacing all of our bathroom/dryer exhaust vents. He's quick, knowledgeable, and does a fantastic job at a competitive rate. Give him a chance and you won't be sorry. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Steve. He was super responsive, honest, gave a great price, and did excellent work to remove existing closets, paint, and put in new light fixtures. If you are looking for a handyman who can do it all, be sure to call S Fyvie Hanuman Services! read more

Steve is awesome! He is straight forward on quote, so other companies won't give you even a price range before they come. Steve helped me installed my new garbage disposal. The new one is bigger than the old one so he helped to adjusted the pipe as well. Overall he provided great service with a very reasonable price! Highly recommended! read more

I was looking for a handyman to re-caulk my bottom 4 sides of shower floor. My shower floor white caulks were beginning to wear out. I called up several handyman and this one gave a lowest estimate of $100 so I went with this one. I was expecting them to do just the bottom shower floor. Steve sent his man Hugo to do the work. Steve asked me what color for caulk, white or clear, and I said white because the whole shower had white caulks and it looked better. I was glad he asked. After Hugo finished the work, he didn't use regular caulk, he used almond silicone caulk! And Hugo not only did the shower floor but caulked the whole shower with almond silicone! I now have almond on my whole shower instead of white! Hugo seems to do a very good job but I'm wondering why they did not follow my request to re-caulk just the bottom floor with white caulk. I'm a little disappointed but fortunately they did not add extra charge to the work which is okay with me. It takes time to get used to almond. Also Steve said silicone based caulk is waterproof which is good. I hope this silicone based caulk lasts a long time. I think this handyman needs to communicate more before they begin the work, like changing caulk's color or re-caulk other parts of shower or silicone caulk is being used and why. read more

Thank goodness I found those 2 5-star reviews for Steve here on Yelp and decided to give him a call. Other contractors I contacted wouldn't take the job because they were "too busy for a small job" like mine. The trim above our garage door was falling off and there was some wood rot that needed repair along the sliding door on our back deck. I called Steve on a Friday, he came out to look at it on Saturday and the work was done by Monday for a reasonable price. Most importantly, the work is excellent and I didn't have to take any more time off of work trying to coordinate with secretaries and administrators. Will definitely be calling Steve again. read more

I needed some repairs in my home, and Steve did a great job at a very reasonable rate.

A friend recommended Steve so I gave him a call. I had a number of small items from fixing a window to some plastering to caulking around the shower floor. He was fantastic. He gave me a great price and did more than contracted for. He was very knowledgeable. I was very pleased with the job and plan on using Steve again for all those small and big things that happen around the house over time. My recommendation: don't waist your time looking around - just give Steve a call. read more

Stevie was able to do a few things around the house for me. The first was to fix my deck and the second was to redo a bathroom. The latter took it down to the studs and then rebuilt it as I envisioned and I was extremely happy with the quality of work, the communication throughout the process and the end result. Can't go wrong! read more
