"I needed to have a window balance replaced. When he completed the initial estimate, I needed to have two window balances replaced because he broke a second one. I was charged to the parts and labor to replace both. Costs are not disclosed. For example, I was charged $198.89 for MH.MRE.605.0100 and $115.90 for MH.MTA.000.0004. Eventually I found out that the $115.90 was to locate and pick up the parts. There was also a Service Charge. When I asked what that was for, I was told "a fee for lack of a better term." My original estimate was for $300.13 but I ended up paying $412.78. There are better and more transparent options than Mr. Handyman."

JCB Handyman/Masonry offers experienced finish carpentry, framing, and general handyman work in Washington D.C. Contact us today for an estimate!
"I had a very positive experience with JCB and will definitely call them in the future when I need help. I wanted to completely change my kitchen but I didn’t want to shoulder the expense of new cabinetry. I spoke to Brandon about my vision (which was to have a rustic, distressed look on my kitchen cabinetry with coordinated accent cabinetry around the kitchen) and he gave me a lot of helpful info on the phone, even before I signed the contract. He came out to my home to show me what they could do, to make sure it was to my liking. His estimate also seemed fair. Once the job started, Brandon and Chris and Joe were kind and communicative, letting me know what they were doing each day and checking in for feedback. Because I wanted a unique, distressed look on my cabinets, they created the look entirely by hand based on my description of what I wanted. It was painstaking and labor-intensive, but they worked efficiently. The entire job was done in a week (they worked through the weekend) and I’m thrilled with the result. They also re-painted my walls, in a color that complimented the new cabinetry, and they replaced a light fixture. In addition to be very talented and building me a kitchen that I love, they are genuinely good humans, which is even more important. I’d highly recommend JCB."

"JK uses a virtual estimate to provide a quote. That's a trick! It's common that the price they quote is a lot lower than what you WILL HAVE to pay to get your stuff. The process was easy, but can say the estimate we received to move across the country was $5,000 higher than 2 large PODs to start. In the end, they ended up adding almost $8,000...b/c they quoted the incorrect weight to start, as well as charging for a smaller truck that we never requested. The moving company that did the physical part, wasn't JK, and they were hard, polite, and great workers! I reached out and begged JK to help with the major increase (added 65% more to the total...and that was NOT budgeted in whatsoever! After numerous requests for ANY $ help, we were told simply "No." I worked with the physical moving company and they offered to help with some of the expenses...JK, Nope, Nadda, & basically told me TOO D*** BAD! DON'T USE THEM FOR ANY QUOTES!"

"American Home Contractors and Hugo in particular were great to work with. We had multiple jobs done which required several trips and Hugo kept us informed and worked around several weather delays. He relocated and installed a new attic fan, hooked up the bathroom fan to a new roof vent, insulated a pipe in the attic, installed apron flashing on four windows, painted the flue vent, reconnected some lose siding and replaced three pieces of rotted trim and painted it. The work appears to be top notch and we appreciate the hard work and long hours Hugo put in! I would definitely recommend this company and most certainly Hugo to everyone. We also had American Home Contractors replace our gutters and install gutter guards. They did an excellent job with that as well."

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.
