Why Choose Us for Your Handyman Services?

Living in Alexandria means dealing with homes full of history—and history comes with its quirks. Many of our properties date back to the 1700s, and as someone who’s worked on hundreds of them, I can tell you they demand more than a quick patch job. The city’s Board of Architectural Review (BAR) sets strict guidelines to protect that charm, and skipping proper care can lead to bigger headaches down the line. When you partner with us, you’re not just getting repairs; you’re investing in longevity. Here’s what sets us apart:

Real Experience

We've handled everything from subtle settling cracks in historic masonry to modern accessibility mods. Our 40+ years mean we spot issues others miss, like hidden water damage behind old plaster.

Proven Expertise

We're up-to-date on Alexandria's building codes, permit processes, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for historic preservation. No guesswork—just smart, code-compliant solutions.

Local Insight

As Alexandrians ourselves, we know the Potomac's humidity wreaks havoc on windows and decks, and we're pros at weatherproofing without altering your home's historic vibe.

Trustworthiness

Fully licensed (Virginia Class A Contractor #2705-157), insured up to $2M, and backed by four decades of serving our neighbors plus a year craftsmanship warranty. We provide transparent quotes upfront—no surprises—and clean up like we were never there.

"Wonderful experience working with Nate, Ritchie, and Gustavo. All three were very professional. As a woman home alone, I felt comfortable with all three men in my house. The work they did was incredible, they kept the space neat in between work sessions, produced incredible work, and I will hire them for future work needed on my old home. Thanks for everything!"

"Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!! After buying our older home, we hired the Concierge Team at Harry Braswell, Inc to paint; cut attic access; put trim: on walls, above kitchen cabinets & along stairwell; backsplash in kitchen; switch out light switches…the list goes on. They tackled it all with the highest level of craftsmanship and professionalism! We. Are. So. Happy. and talks are already underway for another big-ish project or 2! Thank you so much to the most amazing team (extra shout out to our life-line, Nate and his amazing workers!) Don’t hesitate…make the call and have it done by the best!"

"I have hired Braswell Concierge on numerous occasions to work on my house. Most recently, Braswell replaced my home's frieze boards (the wooden trim between the top of the exterior brick wall and the roof line). My home was built in 1938, and these boards had started to rot and were being attacked by capentar bees and woodpeckers. Braswell replaced the old frieze boards with PVC boards, thus eliminating any temptation for the carpentar bees and woodpeckers. I'm very happy with their work. Also, the trades people Braswell sends to complete the work are always friendly and polite."
