Hi, I’m Xavier and I have been working in home improvement and repairs for 20+ years. I have experience in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, & handyman task. I love sharing my skills & ideas when needed. I love the reactions of happy clients.

"They were remarkable. First, they excavated the minimum needed to repair our drain and install the CIPP liner. They saved our front cement and brick staircase (directly over the main house sewer line). They only removed one section of the sidewalk that was over the main house sewer line. When done, they filled and compacted the dirt, covered the lawn with straw (i.e., ready for me to add seed and to avoid erosion) and replaced the damaged sidewalk section. The workers were polite and respectful of both us and our property. There was truly minimal disruption to the household. We could not flush toilets or run water down the drains for about 3 hours each day they worked on the line. We contracted for repair of the pipe that was on our property. They completed this work in two days. We then added re-lining the pipe under the road to the county connection. The team added people for and worked late on the second day. Job done on day 3. The job took 3 days (as promised)."

"We found a leak under our kitchen sink about three weeks after moving in to our house.  Having never needed a plumber before, we searched on Angie's List.  We chose Juan Carlos based on his reviews, and he did not disappoint.
He was friendly, honest and straightforward.  He came out on a Friday to diagnose the problem, and came back on Monday to repair.  He showed us exactly what the problem was, and how he was going to fix it.  When he was done, he walked us through the finished product.
Our home inspector had told us that we should replace some polybutylene pipes, so we asked Juan Carlos about it when he was here.  He actually told us that if we were planning to do any renovations (the house is a little over 20 years old), we should wait on the pipes and do them at the same time (which would save us quite a bit of money).  He took the time to explain the concerns with our existing pipes, and why we could wait on the work.
We really appreciated his honesty; and, when we do the work with the pipes, will most definitely be using Juan Carlos.  Highly recommend.

"Michael was very knowledge and he explained to me what was wrong with the faucet. He was very patience with me when I was asking him several question. When I told him over the phone what was wrong, he knew exactly the problem. Now my faucet is working well."

Ronnie and Dave at Granite Vision were very friendly and helpful from the first time we walked in their store.  They have a wide range of colors to choose from and they let us spend a lot of time just walking around their warehouse looking, making just a few suggestions based on our price range and our kitchen setup (cabinets, wall color, etc).

The price above included the granite, as well as removal of our old countertops, new sink & faucet, and a plumber (which they can subcontract out or we could have used our own) to install the new sink and hook everything up.  In total, a comparable price to other estimates that we received.

I had to move the install day on them once - they were very flexible which was nice.  On the day of the install they showed up well within the window they gave me and did a great job.  Because of the shape of our counters they had to install the counters in two pieces with one seam, which you can't even tell unless you look closely.  The kitchen looks 100% better!

Service and product were first rate and I would definitely recommend them!

"Easy to schedule. Installed the new disposal timely and efficiently. Would hire again. Thanks!"

"Work was completed in a timely manner. The plumber knew precisely what was wrong and had necessary parts on his truck. It was a simple repair, but completed quickly and correctly. I thought the price was high for such a simple job, but plumbers are not cheap. And I am notorious for making things worse with plumbing. So it was worth the money and probably no more expensive than most places."

"I had my kitchen remodeled by MAG Remodeling a few years ago. They did a marvelous job.  When I needed bathroom remodeling, MAG Remodeling was my first choice. What did I like about them? (1) They do high quality work. (2) They help me get the best prices and deals from suppliers and subcontractors. For example, we went to the tile store together; a good discount was negotiated, and I got the savings. (3) I can trust them to work in my house when I'm away. I work about 20 miles from my house, and live alone. I am going to have a second bathroom remodeled soon. I'll be visiting my son in Texas when they do most of the work. (4) The owner of the company, Ahmed Khaled, treats me like a friend.

",Was some confusion about whether a Virginia-based franchise of this firm should do this work or whether my Virginia zip code falls into the service catchment of the Kensington, MD franchise, which apparently it does.  Was also some confusion about time of appointments.  Franchisee's published telephone was not always staffed.
That said, the quality of work couldn't have been better.  The seams at the drain between paint and chrome are still holding up.  The serviceman did neglect to warn me that since a new chrome drain sleeve would be fitted inside the old drain, the drain entry diameter would be smaller and any hair/lint traps might not fit.  I had to buy a new loose-fitting trap for the tub.
This was the second time I have tried to have this work done.  The first time was a handyman I use who apparently bought a kit from Home Depot.  He charged me several hundred dollars more than Miracle Method, and the job lasted several months and started to peel.

"They came out to measure and look at the surface of the tub and the tile first then provided me with the price and contract.  I scheduled the appt at at point with someone in the ofiice. All went well as planned and I'm so happy with it.  What a differnce this made in how my bathroom looks now!  it was looking old, tired and outdated - now it look clean and new!  I felt so good about it i changed the soap dish, cup holder, shower curtain and rod and the towel rods. Love it.
