Washington, DC · Handyman & Repairs
Handyman in Washington, DC, one independent local pro
Washington handyman work is rowhouse plaster, brick-adjacent trim, and the small jobs that follow a humid Mid-Atlantic summer: sticking doors, hairline cracks at settled corners, and the punch-list on a Colonial in Arlington or Chevy Chase. Historic-district interiors still need a careful hand. We show a Washington-adjusted range first and match you with one insured local handyman, named to you before they reach out.

What Washington homes commonly need
Rowhouse plaster
Capitol Hill and similar fabric crack at corners as the house moves. A patch holds if the movement has settled; repeating cracks are a reason to look at the masonry.
Tree-shade punch-lists
Northwest D.C. and the inner suburbs grow algae on shaded stoops and siding. A wash and a caulk cycle is cheaper than a paint failure.
Handyman services in Washington
Drywall Repair
Cracks, dings, doorknob holes, water stains, and popped tape all read as neglect and knock money off at resale, but they're a fast, affordable fix for a good handyman. See a straight price range for your patch, then get matched with one independent local pro.
See cost & get matchedDoor & Window Repair
A door that won't latch, a window painted shut, a draft you feel from across the room, these small failures nag every day. A handyman can rehang, realign, reseal, and re-hardware most doors and windows in a visit. See your range, then get matched with one independent pro.
See cost & get matchedTV Mounting
A wall-mounted TV looks clean and frees the room, but a bad mount is a $1,500 gamble on drywall anchors. A pro finds studs, mounts level, and conceals the cable. See your price range, then get matched with one vetted local installer.
See cost & get matchedFurniture Assembly
Flat-pack furniture is cheap to buy and miserable to build, and a wobbly wardrobe is a tip-over risk. A pro assembles it correctly, levels it, and anchors tall pieces to the wall. See your range, then get matched with one independent local pro.
See cost & get matchedGeneral Repairs & Punch-List
The jobs that never make their own appointment, a sticking door, a loose railing, a patched wall, a shelf that needs hanging, cost more when you book them one at a time. A punch-list visit bundles them under one trip minimum. We range it by how long the list really is, then match you with one independent local handyman.
