Our Story
Building the Capital Region,
One Project at a Time
Capital Handy Manny was founded by Nakie & Taki Chowdhury with one goal in mind: to bring honest, detail-oriented contracting to homeowners across Albany and the Capital Region. What started as a commitment to clean work and reliable service has grown into a trusted name throughout Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Latham, Colonie, and beyond.
Nakie and Taki built this business on the belief that homeowners deserve a contractor who shows up, communicates clearly, and delivers exactly what was promised — no excuses, no surprises. That philosophy drives every project we take on, from a single room renovation to a complete home transformation.
What sets Capital Handy Manny apart is our one-team approach. We handle everything — design, structural work, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and finishing — under one roof. That means no coordination headaches, no finger-pointing between trades, and a finished product that reflects a single standard of excellence throughout.
We specialize in kitchen renovations, full home remodeling, licensed electrical and plumbing work, foundation repairs, sheetrock installation, CAD design, and general contracting. Whatever your project needs, we have the skills and the commitment to deliver.
