"I put in two requests-for-quote on Tuesday 15 January. Within hours, Mr. Handyman of Richmond responded to my requests--and to this date the other two have not. The description by the telephone receptionist impressed me from the beginning: one company, not a contractor with subcontractors, recognizable to any homeowner and recognized in the industry. I accepted the quote, because frankly I was in a hurry to get the job done. The technician did the first job within hours. This included driving out to buy new doorknobs and deadbolts, plus a key-lockable and re-key-able front-door latch and deadbolt set. At the end of the job I had doorknobs that would stay on without coming off in my hand (as the originals did--twice), and four doors all on the same key. I also had a new deadbolt on the garage door and a front door that I could double lock. While he was here I asked him to see to a seam that had opened in some drywall, and remounting a toilet paper dispenser in a bathroom. The second job he finished in about five minutes; the first he agreed to come back for. On the second day he called his office to have them call me--this because I was too far away to hear him knock. So when I let him in, I suggested now would be a good time to install a wireless door chime and ringer set, and to repair a front-porch fixture I had never been able to unscrew. Note: I suggested these extra jobs; he did not push them on me. Except for my having to make two trips to a nearby hardware store to buy some batteries, he did all the work in record time. And because one of these jobs required letting some drywall mud dry before sanding, he was able to complete all these jobs at very little extra charge--because his company charges by the man-hour and materials, whatever the job happens to be. By using his time effectively and efficiently, I saved. The results are everything I could ask for, and getting all these jobs done is a special boon, particularly since I'm planning a long road trip. If I run across any other little thing that needs doing, I'll definitely call Mr. Handyman of Richmond first. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone having a little project."

"I discovered a leak in my bathroom ceiling and Mr. Thaen Dunn, of Dunn Rite Handyman responded quickly. He found the source of the leak (the seal of a vent pipe on the roof had corroded and let water under the shingles) Mr. Dunn carefully covered the damaged area until it could be repaired. He repaired the bathroom ceiling, painted the bathroom and various other projects around my home. Thaen is honest, reliable and affordable. He takes pride in a job done well. He comes with my highest recommendation!"

"Victor was a great handyman! He was very professional, knowledgeable and provided fantastic service. He was always on time and went out of his way to provide exceptional service. We are VERY pleased with the work that he provided and will hire him again to complete different projects for us. He did an awesome job in my family room in repairing a hole in my ceiling due to water damage. Then he did an awesome job with renovating my master bathroom upstairs. He gave me new flooring, new tile, new plumbing and painting. He does EXCEPTIONAL WORK !! His pricing is very reasonable. I would highly recommend Victor!!!!"

"Hired Will to fix our bed where the trail had split on one side. Not only for he fix the repair, he had a few extra pieces of wood to stabilize the whole support system so it wouldn't break again. He fixed it better than the original! I also had him fix our coffee table after a relative decided to sit on it like a chair, splitting the wood. Very reasonable prices and easy to work with. I would highly recommend his services."

FAQs for handyman service projects in Ashland, VA

Most quality caulk products provide several years of service, though specific longevity depends on formulation and exposure conditions. Bathroom areas with high moisture exposure should be re-caulked once a year to prevent water infiltration and mold growth. 

In contrast, exterior window and door caulking in protected locations might perform effectively for five years or longer. Watch for signs of deterioration like shrinking, cracking, or discoloration that indicate replacement is needed.

While often used interchangeably, caulk and sealant products serve slightly different purposes that affect pricing. Traditional caulks work well for interior applications and moderate movement areas like window frames and baseboards. 

Sealants, formulated with enhanced flexibility and durability, target high-movement or extreme-exposure locations. The specialized polymers in sealants result in somewhat higher costs, though standard caulk remains sufficient and economical for most household applications.

Pre-painting caulking ensures a professional finish by filling gaps and creating smooth transitions between surfaces. Professional services for this preparation work follow standard pricing of $1.25 to $4 per linear foot, depending on accessibility and preparation requirements. 

While DIY approaches cost less in materials, the time investment can be substantial. Proper caulking before painting significantly enhances paint adhesion, appearance, and longevity.

Moderate temperature seasons like early fall and spring provide ideal conditions for exterior caulking projects. These periods offer temperatures that allow proper caulk flow during application while supporting effective curing. 

Avoid extremely hot weather that accelerates drying before proper tooling, or cold conditions that inhibit adhesion and curing. Low humidity and dry weather forecasts further enhance application success and long-term performance.
