We hired Jonathan to deconstruct and haul away an old wooden gazebo. Jonathan arrived early and was very thoughtful about his approach since the gazebo was adjacent to our pool and landscaping. He explained his plan and he was very efficient in completing the job. We will hire Jonathan for other projects and we highly recommend hiring Jonathan for your ad hoc projects.

Can’t say enough about this company! Jonathan is my go-to handyman for a couple rental homes I have in the area. I don’t live in the area, so it’s a huge relief and peace of mind to be able to reach out to him with any issues. He’s done roof repairs, fixed clogged toilets, rental turnovers that included several repairs. He’s been professional, trustworthy and dependable. Couldn’t ask for more!

Got the whole thing taken care of in less than two hours.We have used Jonathan and Help Around the house at our previous and current house for a number of years.

Called and was immediately set up for an appointment for an estimate to get a shower finished and closet. Jonathon was on time and finished quickly. His wife Amber also helped on one of the days. He cleaned up everyday and made sure I was happy with the work that was done. I will hire again if I more work done.

We highly recommend Help Around the House! Jonathan arrived early and got straight to work fixing our doors that were installed incorrectly by the builders. He made sure everything was satisfactory before leaving and did a great job cleaning up! Their rates were fair and much better than other companies we contacted. We would definitely hire them again!

I have owned and managed rental properties in the Hampton Roads area for going on 7 years. In that time, I have worked with a long list of general contractors and handymen. Help Around The House is head and shoulders above any other company or person that I have ever worked with. When you work with them, you get great communication, a fair price, and high quality work that they stand behind. I highly recommend working with Jonathan and Amber. They're the real deal!

I first got in touch with Jonathan when I needed a contractor to install new window mechanisms on our casement windows. The window manufacturer provided the hardware but not the labor. Jonathan was the only contractor/handyman to say "sure, I'll give it a try!" It was a happy day when I finally was able to open all my windows again!
We then had him do a conversion of a built in desk area in our kitchen to create a coffee/wetbar. He was fast and reasonably priced. It came out beautifully.
My mother in law then had water damage in her house which led to a smallish renovation to include new LVP flooring, kitchen cabinet reconfiguration, new 1/2 bath reno, new drawers and doorsh for all cabinets, drywall install and repair, electrical work, etc. And Jonathan did it all! His work is beautiful and he and his wife, Amber, are a joy to work with. We plan to use him for a bath renovation as well as other projects. He and Amber are kind, honest, and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend their services!

My wife contacted Help Around the House after several other "contractors" no showed. We had been trying to get an exterior door installed for months to no avail. We purchased the door from Home Depot & their installers didn't even show.

So, Jonathan is the owner of Help Around The House and he assured us he would get it done. Day of the scheduled install, he showed up at the agreed time and explained everything in detail. As the work progressed, I felt very confident. He and his wife Amber worked well as a team & cleaned diligently along the process.

They stepped away for lunch & purchased trim & additional materials to complete the job. Upon returning from lunch, the installation was completed quick &.efficient to my complete satisfaction.

I will hire Help Around the House again & I highly recommend them. Job well done at a very fair price.

Jonathan and Amber are terrific! I hired a so-called contractor on Angi and they measured for my patio door incorrectly then ordered the door but never showed up to install. Second contractor same story-no show. I called Jonathan and he was courteous, efficient and friendly. He showed up on time and made the door fit like a glove. It's good to know there are still a few honest tradesmen. Thank you so much!

Michelle Murphy

Jonathan was wonderful. He was timely friendly and very responsive. He fixed my glass showers doors that a prior contractor screwed up. I will definitely be using his services in the future

Rob C.

We initially wanted to repair some flooring but after the consultation, decided it was much less expensive and better to put down new flooring. He is very professional and does a great job. We had him put down new flooring in the kitchen, install a backsplash and repair attic stairs for safety. We would definitely call him again, when needing repairs.

I needed a small repair for a leak in the siding/roof. Help around the house did the repair. I have to point out that they were honest, other local companies were quoting me 1000+ to do an unnecessary repair. I would definitely use them in the future.

Absolutely respectful, responsive, easy, fair, quick! I can't think of enough words to describe how great they did. I highly recommend and will call for any job we have. Again HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Mr. Goochee was great to have in our home. He felt like family. We had our bathroom remodeled and even when we hit a few bumps in our design (my fault), he gave us a fair price to make it work. After all was said and done, we had a couple of punch list items to remedy. He was prompt in returning to make everything right. I have recommended him a few times over and will continue to do so.

I cannot say enough good things about these guys! Jonathan came out to install a bathroom vanity and baseboards, after we had an overflow in our sink and needed to do water mitigation. He went above and beyond expectations, even patched up a hole in our wall that wasn’t previously discussed. Jonathan called the day before coming out to touch base, he showed up at the time he said he would and he was extremely courteous. The work is excellent, the prices are reasonable and I’m going to be recommending him to everyone I know.

Jonathan and his awesome crew just finished a big remoldel on our master bathroom! They took out a pocket door separating vanity from toilet and 4 by 6 jacuzzi tub! Replaced all the tile and put in a walkin shower that is beautiful!!! They came everyday, on time and put down drop cloths to cover the carpet from the front door on through to the bathroom! These young men were so polite, and skilled! They brought joy and peace as they worked instead of poor attitudes, bad language and disrespect! We are so happy with the product and the price!!!

I would highly recommend Jonathan Goochee for any job you have no matter how big or how small. Jonathan is courteous, professional, and shows up for the job when he tells you he's going to be there. He does the job right the first time and his prices are fair. I've had Jonathan do several jobs for me and have been extremely pleased with the work he has done.

We call Help Around the House several times a year to do a variety of home repairs, upgrades, etc. They respond to my calls or emails usually within minutes and are always prompt to set up an appointment time. Luke arrives on time and ready to help with whatever we need. I am SO thankful to have found them - a reliable and trustworthy handyman is hard to find - particularly one who specializes in the smaller tasks like repars and upgrades. Luke is happy to do those jobs and he's helped us update our bathrooms with new lighting and fixtures as well as hang lights and a variety of other home projects. The pricing is fair and the service is excellent.

I highly recommend Luke Croll. Hire him immediately if you have things that you need done around the house. His wife handles his appointment setting and she is very nice and professional. Luke is a man of integrity. He is a good worker and a good listener. I met him and felt like I knew him for a long time. Very nice and he knows his work. He works fast as efficiently. He was on time and did everything that I requested with no problem. I will be hiring Luke again.

Jay Gary

Luke Croll is fantastic. He is dependable, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and provides superior value. I have hired him twice and have been more than satisfied in each job, the first a custom repair of a wooden mailbox, the second a replacement of a garbage disposal. I will call him again.

Luke and Nancy are lifesavers! I am not handy at all around the house and being a single Mom, I don't really have anyone to help me with getting these things done. I had a door in the house that wouldn't latch and it was causing problems because the cats would get into the room and wake my son up all night long! It was very frustrating and I had no idea how to fix the door! Luke fixed the problem in like ten minutes, and no more cats waking my son up! Luke and Nancy also helped me get a bunch of heavy boxes down to the garage that I couldn't lift because I'm pregnant! Seriously...lifesavers! I really love that they obviously know what they are doing and love helping people get things taken care of. It's refreshing when people are kind and helpful! I definitely will recommend them to any of my friends who need help with something in their home!

NancyTurner Turner

Luke and Nancy are a phenomenal husband and wife team. I'm a single woman and I don't always find it easy to do the things around my house. They came in and painted my kitchen and living room, repaired my dryer, and installed a new kitchen light. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needed help around the house.

Grace E. Robinson
Apr 5, 2013

Help around the House has done several jobs for me and my parents: hung a ceiling light, installed a new kitchen sink, fixed my leaky bathtub faucet, installed a deadbolt for the front door. All jobs were done quickly, efficiently, cleaned up afterwards. I'd call them first for any job!

We Answer Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing questions
1. What is the average roof replacement cost for a residential home?
+-

The average roof replacement cost for a residential home typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on factors such as roof size, chosen materials, roof pitch, and labor rates in your area. Premium materials or complex designs may increase the price.

2. How much does it usually cost to replace the roof of a commercial building?
+-

The cost to replace the roof of a commercial building typically ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on several factors such as roof size, material, labor rates, building type, and local code requirements.

3. What factors affect the overall roof repair cost?
+-

Several factors influence roof repair cost, including the extent of the damage, roof accessibility, material type, labor costs, and whether it’s a general repair or an emergency fix. Minor repairs can start around $150–$400, while major repairs may exceed $1,500.

4. What is the typical roof leak repair cost, and how is it calculated?
+-

Roof leak repair cost generally ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the size and location of the leak, the materials required, and labor intensity. Complex leaks involving structural repairs or interior damage will cost more.

5. What is the average flat roof repair cost for commercial buildings?

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?
+-

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

2. How long does roof replacement take?
+-

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
