Water damage in an Odenton home usually starts small. A stain spreads across the ceiling. A baseboard swells. The carpet near the wall stays damp after everything else dries. By then the water has been running for a while, and the drywall behind it is soft. We come out and find where the water is coming from. Once it is stopped, we open up the wet material and repair the damage.
Handyman At Your Command is a family run company. We have worked in the DMV since 2008, and we are licensed, bonded and insured. Jose, the owner, comes out to look at the damage and gives you a free estimate. Tracy answers the phone, including nights and weekends, because water rarely waits for business hours. Our technicians handle the repair side: demo, drying, drywall, and the finish work that follows.
Tell us what needs fixing. Tracy will get right back to you.
The first job is finding the water. Sometimes it is obvious, like a supply line that burst inside a wall. That line is a plumbing repair we make before the rebuild starts. Other times we start at the stain and work back. We have traced ceiling stains to a roof leak more than once. We have also opened a wall to find a pinhole in a copper line. We check the framing and the subfloor around the wet spot, because water travels along wood before it shows.
Next comes the demo. We cut out the wet drywall and pull up soaked flooring. We stop at the line where the material is still dry. Then the space gets dried out with fans and air movers before anything closes back up. Closing a wall over damp framing is how you end up doing the job twice. When the studs and subfloor read dry, we rebuild. That part is normal drywall repair, then trim, then interior painting to match the rest of the room.
It depends on how much water there was and how dirty it was. A clean water leak that soaked one ceiling or one wall is repair work. That is what we do. A flooded basement or a sewage backup needs a restoration company. Those crews carry truck mounted extraction and certified mold remediation, and your insurance usually wants them on site first. Call them for that part. Then call us for the rebuild once the space is dry.
Mold is the other line. When we open a wall and find growth, we cut the damaged material out and treat the surface. That works for a small area caught early. A large mold problem belongs to a certified remediation contractor. They can test the air and seal off the area while they work. We are not a mold remediation company, and we will say so when a job crosses that line.
Our office sits at 315 Eagles Landing Ct in Odenton. We work across Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Someone answers the phone at (877) 349-4632 around the clock. That matters with water, because a burst supply line does not wait until Monday morning. Tracy takes the call. Jose comes out to look at the damage and write a free estimate. The crew is small, about four technicians, so the same people are there from demo to final coat of paint.
Erica B. left us a five star review after one of these jobs: "Recently we have had Hugo and Jose come out and they helped to find the source of a roof leak- then they repaired the ceiling drywall, painted, and also did other jobs around the house". We have 27 Google reviews and a 5.0 rating. Cost tracks the size of the repair. A stained ceiling that gets patched and painted usually lands in the low hundreds. A bathroom stripped to the studs after a burst line is a bathroom remodeling job. That one runs into the thousands.
From the first call to the final walkthrough, here is exactly how it goes.
Tracy picks up the phone, 24/7. Tell her what needs fixing. For small repairs a photo is often enough to get you a price fast.
For bigger jobs, Jose comes out, looks at the work with you and writes a free estimate with a real number. No pressure and no obligation.
Our own technicians show up on time with the right materials, protect your floors and furniture, and do the job the way the estimate described it.
We clean up, walk the finished work with you, and make sure you are happy before we leave. Most customers keep our number for the next list.
