Dirty Deeds

Around Staunton, Dirty Deeds is one of those outfits you hear about from homeowners and other trades because they just keep showing up and getting it done. Ricky runs it like a hands-on operator, not a “schedule you out three weeks and disappear” type. People call him fast, neat, and on time—and in this line of work, that’s not small talk, that’s the whole game.

And it’s not just one kind of job. The reviews read like the real-world grab bag: replace an outdoor spigot, hang a storm door, touch up siding, fix mortar, install light fixtures, straighten out a leaning fence, remove some fence, swap insulation, caulk tubs/showers, install hand rails. Plus back-door replacement, porch rescreening, and pressure washing. That tells you how he operates—he looks at what’s in front of him and handles the messy realities without acting like everything is an “extra” or a problem.

Communication is a big theme too. Folks say he’s prompt, answered all questions, gave helpful suggestions, and kept them updated throughout the project. You ever hire someone who goes radio silent once they’ve got your deposit? Yeah, this doesn’t sound like that. He stays responsive, works well with the customer, and gives you many options on jobs—so you’re not boxed into one pricey fix when there are a couple ways to skin it.

But what I notice most is the cleanup and follow-through. People specifically mention he cleans up after the job. That’s a contractor habit, not a sales pitch. And it usually means the work site stays controlled—less damage, less “where’d that screw go,” less fuss.

However, he’s not framed in these reviews as the cheapest guy in town—more like the reliable, easy-to-deal-with guy who shows up on time and keeps the job moving. Want someone who can bounce between small repairs and bigger punch-list projects without making it weird? That’s what this reads like.

If you’re in the Staunton area and you want “prompt, on time, no fuss, keeps you updated” more than flashy promises, Dirty Deeds has the kind of reputation that gets repeated for a reason.
