Local Northern Virginia Team
We live and work in the communities we serve
Handy Viking is a hyperlocal Northern Virginia business. We have technicians based throughout the region to ensure fast response times and local expertise.
Arlington’s mix of condo buildings, historic homes, and modern apartments calls for mounting experts who understand different wall constructions. We handle concrete and cinder block walls common in high-rise buildings, as well as plaster walls found in older Colonial and Cape Cod homes throughout Arlington County.
As the most populous jurisdiction in Virginia, Fairfax County is home to thousands of Handy Viking clients in communities like Burke, Springfield, Reston, Herndon, Vienna, McLean, and Tysons. We offer same-day availability across most of Fairfax County.
Old Town Alexandria’s Federal-style row houses and modern Del Ray condos both require a delicate touch. Our team is experienced in working with plaster walls, historic moldings, and the strict HOA requirements common in Alexandria communities.
From the fast-growing communities of Ashburn, Sterling, and South Riding to the historic charm of Leesburg, Handy Viking serves all of Loudoun County. We are the go-to assembly and installation team for newly built homes throughout One Loudoun, Brambleton, and Lansdowne.
Woodbridge, Manassas, Lake Ridge, and Dale City homeowners rely on Handy Viking for fast, professional installation services. Our Prince William County team is familiar with the newer construction common throughout this growing region.
Handy Viking charges a flat rate starting at $99 for standard TV wall mounting in Northern Virginia.
