The kitchen cabinet over my refrigerator did not allow enough clearance for the new refrigerator I had ordered. I needed the cabinet taken down to provide room for a taller refrigerator. Mr. Santopietro came to my house and gave me an estimate on the same day that I called (Friday afternoon) and suggested that the cabinet be taken to the workshop and have about an inch sawed from the lower edge which would give me enough clearance for the new refrigerator. On Monday morning, the cabinet was taken down from the wall and taken out to the workshop. Before noon, the cabinet was resized, re-hung, and the edges were stained.
The experience was super. I was thrilled that everything was done so quickly and that the results were so nice looking... Geraldine Burgess, Gaithersburg, MD

I just wanted you to know that the work done on our house to repair wind damage was great, and the cost was so reasonable The crew started the job on time, worked quickly and surely, and completed the job more quickly than we had thought they would. They cleaned up everything so thoroughly that you never would have known anything had been done, except for the fact that the house looks fabulous!!!
We can't thank you enough.

We hired Nationwide Handyman to renovate our outdated basement which included the rough in and installation of a new bathroom (with tile work, new tub, toilet, sink, electrical work) and the addition of 2 new windows and 2 extra closets with closet organizers. Drop ceiling was removed, drywall installed in ceiling and replaced in walls. Significant electrical rewiring was done, crown moulding was installed, floors ripped up, they even added a chalkboard area framed in moulding for my son. Opened up our stairwell, added a turn to the landing and railings. Brought in HVAC professional to rework some of the ductwork so that our upstairs would get stronger heat flow (the rooms had been cold, this fixed that). Dominic (owner) stopped onsite nearly everyday to check-in on the work and progress and was very helpful and knowledgeable and responsive and very pleasant to work with. He went above and beyond the scope of what we hired his company to do.
They were on-time, within estimate, very smooth overall. Everyone (plumber, HVAC, electrician, painter, etc) had great attention-to-detail and high quality. Tile work in bathroom is beautiful, painting is perfect throughout. People who see it are wowed by the work and quality. We will bring in Nationwide Handyman for future renovations...

Dear Dominic and Lisa,
Now that the dust has cleared and Christmas is over I wanted to write to you and tell you how much we appreciate the work you did at my father-in-law's condo. Our Christmas party was a big success and everyone raved over how beautiful everything looked. The fact that you were able to get everything done in that short amount of time (and held to such a high quality of workmanship) was a fantastic feat! And what an amazing crew! All your guys are quite excellent craftsmen and nice to boot! Thank you all for your integrity, your incredible work ethic, your patience and the care and love that you put into my dad's space. We look forward to working with you again in the near future. That master bathroom, as you well know, is in dire need of attention. Once the sticker shock wears off my dad from this renovation, I'm sure he'll be ready to address that bathroom (I'm working on him!).
Dear Nationwide Handyman,
Just a quick note to let you know how very pleased I am with the work your men performed today. They were prompt, respectful, and professional. I am very satisfied with everything they did. I will use your company again. I already recommended your company to a friend who needs painting done.
Thanks, Rona Kashtan

...my gutter and attached fascia gave way under the weight of entrapped ice and accumulated snow.
This was during one of the worst snow storms that I had experienced in all my time lining in this area. The downed fascia board had left part of my attic exposed to the elements and presented and opportunity for entry by squirrels and other creatures from the nearby wooded area.
After unsuccessfully trying a number of companies, I came upon your company by way of the Internet. I was somewhat doubtful that I would hear back from the message I left in your voicemail, but I received a return call and then a visit the following day (Saturday) right on time as you promised. You promptly checked out the area, told me that you could handle the job, gave me an estimate, and a tentative start date and time the following Monday (even though there was still about 3 feet of snow on the ground under the area to be worked.
As you promised, your two man crew including Supervisor German Gonzales showed up at the appointed time, shoveled out a working area and efficiently completed the reattachment of the fascia and gutter, even taking the extra steps of screwing (instead of nailing) the fascia to the roof rafter end for greater strength, and then painting over parts of the gutter that had been scratched. All this was done within your original estimate which I considered to be very reasonable, especially under the circumstances.
The experience was a very positive one for me. You and your crew were very courteous and capable. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to others and to call on you again for any of the wide ranging services listed in your brochure.
Dear Nationwide,
Thanks for yet another outstanding repair to my home! It looks great.
The screen door is actually re-hung better than it was initially. It closes much more smoothly.
I had kinda forgotten about the gutter until I noticed that the rain wasn't falling directly onto the top of my head this morning.
Whatever was going on up there is fixed too.

We are writing to tell you how please we are with the extensive work you did on our home last year. You did an excellent and skillful job on replacing wood siding, painting our home and replacing our gutters. All of the work was performed in a timely manner and all the workmen were both courteous and professional.
We would definitely recommend you to anyone who needed work on their homes. Thank you for your exemplary service.

Two weeks before Thanksgiving my wife noticed mold on the kitchen ceiling from a leak in the upstairs bathroom. One call and two hours later Dominic was over saw the problem and came up with a plan to not only repair the kitchen ceiling before the Thanksgiving Holiday but also start the repair or rather remodel of the master bathroom. His estimate was right on and while I suspect some of the hidden damage was more than he expected never once asked for more. His word is his word and he does what it takes to get the job done right the first time. All of his employees are courteous and prompt not to mention completely trustworthy. I could go on and on talking about the virtues of Nationwide Handyman but needless to say I would and will hire him again; I have used Dominic on many jobs and have never been disappointed. Living in a house that is 25 years old having a man like Dominic on speed dial allows me to sleep comfortably.

They were great. They were very easy to work with. The owner actually met me at a tile place to help me pick out tile for the bathroom. They gave me great advice, they did great work and I would highly recommend them.

Dear Dominic
I cannot thank you enough for your guidance, ideas and flexibility during our recent office renovation.
We first called Nationwide Handyman in the late fall of 2008 for a simple modification to our clubhouse. We were extremely pleased with the work. I started talking with Dominic about what other changes we wanted to do to renovate our private office building in Bethesda and were quite pleased to find out that he could do it all and for a great price.
I felt confident with Dominic and his crew and giving them a key to the building allowing them to work after normal business hours and on weekends, made the project easier for his crews and our small staff. We took advantage of the renovation and did a major spring cleaning of the office at the same time.
It is a huge improvement in look, feel and staff motivation. We made new friends and we cannot wait till we do the kitchen next.
The condo renovation I had done turned out beautifully, and I’m very happy with it. I chose Nationwide Handyman because, of the three contractors I talked to, I felt Lisa and Dominic would “hold my hand” more than the others would have – they took me to their suppliers and helped me to pick the flooring I needed, paint colors, sinks and faucets, etc. Dominic also offered some wonderful suggestions about hallway and doorway changes and kitchen design. I have never done a remodel , so there suggestions and expertise were very helpful! I plan to continue to use the company for maintenance needs in the future.

In 2006, a friend found Nationwide Handyman through Angie ’s List, and was extremely pleased with the job they did renovating a room in his house. In 2007, I found myself in need of a contractor, and my friend recommended Nationwide to me. The result has been amazing. In fact, Nationwide made it possible for me to move my 98-year-old Mom into my new house at a price less than half that of two other estimates I obtained. They turned a vacant lower-level space into a spacious, beautiful mother-in-law suite, and made other adjustments and renovations throughout the house to make it more accommodating for my Mom, who was able to join our family in the fall of 2007.
Once Mom was moved in, I then had to face selling her old house in 2008, a time when the real-estate market was tanking. My realtor told me my only hope was an extensive renovation, so again I turned to Nationwide Handyman. The job was large, so again I got three estimates, and again Nationwide’s was the most reasonable. Again, they did an absolutely super job, making the house stand out from the many on the market. And the payoff came immediately: I had a contract on the house within a week of putting it on the market, getting over 90% of my asking price. At the closing, the buyer said he had previously put a tentative offer on another home, but when he saw the beautiful results of Nationwide’s handiwork, he dropped the other offer and decided to buy mine.
Since that time, I have had Nationwide do a number of smaller, handyman-type tasks around the house, the latest being the addition of a safer stairway into my garage, completed in late 2008. Each time I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the high quality and reasonable price. I’ve also been grateful for another, crucial aspect of their work -- namely, they have a great ability to help me envision what I want done, and then go ahead and carry out the plan with minimal attention from me. Basically, with them, you’re getting sophisticated interior design for a price comparable to basic handyman work.
In summary, Nationwide Handyman is the best. Every job they have done for me has raised the standard, in my mind, of what a contractor can and should be. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Dear Nationwide Handyman,
We could not be happier with our new master bathroom! We had a serious
space problem and your creativity in design and the expert craftsmanship of
Alvi, resulted in a bathroom/closet suite that we love! We chose your
company because of the reasonable price, promptness of estimate, and the
good feeling we got from speaking with both Dominic and Lisa. We felt that
you were honest, had creative ideas, and would be able to do quality work in
a timely manner. In particular, we really valued the help choosing our
fixtures, tiles, and other features for the bathroom and closet. As first
time homeowners, we were daunted by the task of choosing and buying all of
these items. And your flexibility as we found items within our budget was
much appreciated. In addition to our renovating our bathroom, you repaired
our water-damaged drywall in the basement for free, which was generous and
greatly appreciated.
We can't say enough good things about Alvi, who was the primary carpenter on
our project. He was perfectionist (which we loved), kind, and so
unbelievably neat. The construction took place in our bedroom and he left
our room spotless each night! He was wonderful with our daughter, who still
talks about him and was a pleasure to have in our home. We would be
delighted to have him complete more projects for us in the future.
Thank you for all of your hard work. We look forward to many future
projects--large and small. It is a relief to have a company that can be our
major contractor and our "local handyman" for all of our home improvement
needs.
Best wishes, Karen and Doug Miller, Maryland

Dear Nationwide Handyman,
We'd like to thank you
for the outstanding job and service your company provided for our
remodeling job. We had been waiting for months for another company
to provide estimates for over 25 separate projects that needed to
be done to complete part of our home remodeling job. You came back
to us with a quote in less than a week and worked with us in adjusting
what needed to be done to stay within our budget. Your staff was
very professional and stayed continuously on the job until everything
was completed to our satisfaction. Your follow-up was outstanding,
sending someone over immediately to fix or adjust anything we pointed
out. We would definitely recommend your company to anyone who needs
a job done well, in a timely manner and within budget. We are looking
forward to working with you on other home projects we have planned
for the near future.
Thank you again for a
job well done.

I was referred to Nationwide

work completed by your company. I was extremely impressed by the
fast response to our inquiry for an estimate and the scheduling
for the job. Your staff arrived early and left late, paid close
attention to detail and completed the work as scheduled.

Dear Nationwide Handyman,
One word more than sums up our experience with you...WOW! When we
got home from our mini vacation and saw the work had been completed
while we were gone both my wife and I were ecstatic about the house
because it looked great. You guys more than lived up to our high
expectations and your care to just make sure the job gets done right
is a credit to your entire organization. From my first contact with
you we were impressed with your honesty, professionalism, care,
and quality of work. Your work ethic is one that, as they say, comes
from time long ago and not seen in today's world all that often.
......Thanks again for
a quick response in getting our house completed before the cold
really set in for the winter. You most certainly can count on me
to sing your praises to all that will listen and also use us as
a reference to anyone that you like.....

Dear Nationwide Handyman,
Last month we became Nationwide Handyman customers when we needed
help to prepare for a flat screen TV installation. Our job required
the services of an electrcian (to install and electrical junction
box) and a carpenter (to install molding and a channel to conceal
the wiring). Both of these professionals did an excellent job and
it was obvious that they were experienced and skilled.
When the job was completed,
Nationwide Handyman gave us the name of an artist who was able to
paint the channel that concealed the wiring so that it blended in
perfectly with our brick wall. The result was awesome! We are so
pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend Nationwide
Handyman to our friends. Please feel free to use us as a reference.
Thank you for your help
in "sprucing up" our aging house; I am sure you will be
hearing from us again.

Dear Nationwide Handyman,
We want to let you know how much we are grateful for the high quality
and professional work you and your staff provided repairing the
outside of our house and replacing the front and back doors. The
skill and cheerful attiude of the craftsmen was most welcomed. We
espcially appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness you provided
when unexpected roadblocks appeared. Your willingness and capability
to do the paper work via email was a considerable advantage in streamlining
the whole operation.
We shall definitely consider
using your services first when major repairs may again be required
to our home.

Dear Nationwide
Handyman
I wanted to thank you for the work that you did in my house in August
2006. I am impressed with your services. When you came to do my
estimate, you arrived on time and walked through the different tasks
that needed to be completed; you did not rush through it. Then,
not only did your staff do a wonderful job on the work that needed
to be done, but they arrived each day on time and according to schedule.
When we needed to purchase additional materials you made sure to
get my approval and to ensure that I was completely satisfied with
the new tiles.
In terms of the job, it definitely exceeded my expectations! I am
so very excited to know that I now have a "handyman" services
to do work that I have planned and need to get done in my house.
I thoroughly appreciate your scheduling, your accurate work estimates,
attention to detail, your courteous manner and your wonderful input
in the decorating aspects of the work.
Thanks so much for your most excellent work.

Dear Nationwide Handyman,
Recently, this past November, Nationwide Handyman completed work
on my rental house in Bethesda, Maryland. Mr. Santopietro arrived
on time for our appointments. He was professional in demeanor, courteous
and helpful in providing suggestions for making repairs and improvements
to the house.....
The work was completed
within the time frame that Nationwide Handyman promised and was
well done. Nationwide Handyman called me promptly when weather did
not permit them to the work and to reschedule the work. The pricing
for the labor and materials appeared reasonable to me. In addition
Nationwide Handyman provided a $200.00 discount coupon on the total
price of the job.
I was very satisfied
with the work that Nationwide Handyman competed and I would hire
them again. My husband and I have asked Nationwide Handyman to give
us estimates for jobs at our personal residence. Thanks again for
the great work!

Dear Nationwide,
We would like to thank you for the amazing job you did on our basement.
We absolutely love the way it looks and the value it has added to
our home. When we set out to finish our basement we had no idea
what we wanted or what the finished product might look like. At
every step of the way you guided us into the perfect basement for
us. You helped us design a lovely space and also helped us select
the most beautiful flooring and lighting. Everyone of your employees
was friendly and tidy and we had no disturbance to ourselves at
any point in the process.
I would especially
like to thank you for the high level of quality that you put into
the project. It is obvious to our untrained eyes, and to those more
experienced eyes who have since seen the basement, that no corners
were cut. Every part of the basement was done to the highest standard,
from removal of the pre-existing walls and ceiling, to reconstruction
of the ceiling (netting us more headroom), paint (ensuring we had
enough coats to cover in the dark color we selected), and electrical
work (cutting the cost of the heavy-up so the we could have all
the new electrical need met). Even the mounted TV stand that you
designed and built for us perfectly complements the new space.
Everyone of
our friends is so impressed with our gorgeous new space, and we
are the happiest homeowners. Please know that we so much appreciate
your hard work and skill, and we will definitely use you again for
our next home improvement project. Please feel free to use us for
references.
We wish you the best, and thank you again.

I am writing about my experience with Nationwide Handyman. I believe
that your company is top notch. I thought that the personal service
you provided was excellent, especially when you came to my house
prior to repairs to access what had to be done and gave me a price
quote. Your handyman repaired our drywall and did a very through,
neat and professional job.
I will definitely call your company
again if I need any other handyman work done in the future.
Thank you very much.

Nationwide Handyman,
We want you to know how much we appreciated your attentiveness and
thoughtfulness while we undertook the repair to one of our showers.
I know the problem encountered during the repairs were more complicated
than any of us had expected, but you handled them professionally
and courteously.
We were particularly
impressed with two experiences which were not even related to the
work we had contracted with Nationwide Handyman. First, as a result
of the unprecedented rain storm in the Washington area, we had water
damage in our basement and considerable water logged tiles, carpet
padding and damage matter that had to be hauled away. The County
told us that they would not pick up these materials and we would
have to either have to haul them ourselves to the County dump or
arrange privately for their disposal. When you arrived to remove
the trash created by the contracted work, you assisted us in also
disposing of the accumulated debris that thus rendered us a great
service. Secondly, you gave us a simple do-it-yourself solution
to a missing tile in another shower in our house, a problem that
another contractor had suggested would cost us a significant amount
of money to repair.
We would unhesitatingly
recommend your services to anyone and we intend to use Nationwide
Handyman for some additional repair work we have to do. Our willingness
to reengage your services is the highest recommendation we can offer
to the caliber of your service.
You have our
permission to use us as a reference as necessary.
