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. We come out to look at the damage and give you a free estimate. The phone is answered 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. The office 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. Ceiling rebuilds after a leak, from the cut-out to the final coat of paint, are covered on our ceiling repair service page. 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. In a basement, a window well that fills in a hard rain can push water through the window frame. Our page on egress windows and window wells covers how a well should drain.
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. The phone at (877) 349-4632 is answered around the clock. That matters with water, because a burst supply line does not wait until Monday morning. The office takes the call. We come 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.

Real reviews from real home repair projects on Google.
Great customer service as well as great work quality. I had my fence bent down completely because of a storm and I called handyman at your command immediately. Even though it was after hours I still able to set up a time for someone to fix the fence first thing in the morning. The handyman was prompt and very nice.
I was finally able to get my master bath updated after 20 years of purchasing my home. Jose the owner of the company came out and held our hand from beginning to end. From demo to completion of the project, they always kept our home sparkling and clean which was a big deal for us as our child has respiratory issues.
I've been hiring Handyman At Your Command and working with Tracy for about 8 years now, and have always been completely satisfied and happy with their work. 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.
