DHL HandyMan
I’m David, your trusted handyman in Annandale, VA. I came to this profession from a different angle than most. Prior to getting into handyman work, I spent fifteen years working in the engine rooms of cargo ships (Merchant Marine). Being in the middle of the ocean taught me to face problems head-on: I was an electrician, plumber, machinist, welder, and even an appliance repairman. If the right part was missing, I adapted—fixing what was at hand, crafting a new part, or finding an alternative solution. This drive to find solutions has not changed. While today’s world often leans towards a “throw out-and-replace” mindset, I have always gravitated towards mending and restoring. My commitment is simple: to deliver the best service possible. And if a task is beyond my scope of expertise or needs specialized knowledge, I will always be honest about it. In my opinion, it is better to steer you in the right direction than to lead you off course.
