About Us

A Family Affair: About Manny and Chrissy

Manny (Emmanuel), Handy Manny's Owner and Lead Painter, was born and raised in Mexico City and is one of 5 children. He immigrated to the U.S. when he was 15, and lived in Brooklyn for 11 years before moving to the DC area with Chrissy. He is fluent in both English and Spanish, and has many years' professional experience in both painting and drywall repair. When he's not painting, he loves spending time with his three children, Gael (5), Luna (3), and Arlo (1), and with his siblings, who all still live in Brooklyn. He also loves a good IPA and enjoys visiting new breweries. He has not had an easy life but you would never know it - he is one of the most easygoing guys you could meet!


Chrissy, Handy Manny's Director of Operations, was born and raised in Broomall, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Temple University, she moved to Brooklyn to be closer to Manny. In 2014, Chrissy and Manny got married and moved to the DC area so that Chrissy could pursue her PhD in Spanish Linguistics at Georgetown, which she earned in 2020. She is fluent in both English and Spanish and currently teaches undergraduate Spanish courses at George Washington University. When she is not teaching, she is watching their three kids (Gael, Luna, Arlo) and handling estimates, contracts, scheduling, advertising, and accounting for Handy Manny's. She will offer you that unparalleled service that Handy Manny's is known for. 


Our goal is to create lasting relationships with our clients, which is why customer satisfaction is always our #1 priority. We take every project extremely seriously and treat our clients' homes as if they were our own - if our clients aren't happy, we aren't happy. We are committed to showing you that we deserve the stellar reputation we have built in recent years. 


If you got this far, thanks for reading and thanks for your support! We are grateful for all of our clients, old and new, and can't wait to hear from you. Thanks for following along on our journey.

Ruben has two years of painting experience and has been on the Handy Manny's team since June 2021. He immigrated to the United States from San Pedro Sula, Honduras with his wife and two young children in 2020 and currently lives in Falls Church, VA. In Honduras, he was a math teacher. He was drawn into the painting trade by friends, and since then has grown to appreciate it as an art form. He likes rolling best, but does not enjoy all the dust that comes with sanding. In his free time, Ruben enjoys watching television series or the news. He considers himself to be an extrovert and loves all types of music, but especially salsa, merengue and cumbia. He is also a huge fan of marching bands. If you've worked with us in the past, you may have noticed that Ruben is also largely responsible for clean-up. He leaves all of our jobsites squeaky clean and for that we are incredibly grateful! We have really enjoyed watching Ruben grow as a painter over the past year and a half, and are excited for his future as a continued member of our team.

Yexzon, the newest member of the Handy Manny’s team, joined us part-time in August of 2021 before transitioning to full-time in June 2022. A recent graduate of Justice High School, he was born and raised in Honduras but immigrated to the United States with his family a few short years ago. For Yexzon, painting is a family affair: his brothers and father all work in the trade, and he began learning to paint as a child. With 6 years of experience, he decided to pursue painting as his profession because it is something that he truly enjoys doing, although he could go without sanding ceilings (Couldn’t we all? It’s some backbreaking work!). In his free time, he enjoys playing soccer. Yexzon is an invaluable member of our team who contributes an incredible level of precision and speed - we couldn't do this without him!
