I had a great experience with Nicholson Plumbing. Robin was quick and responsive with scheduling and Phil was on time and efficient. Pricing was lower than other quotes. I'll definitely use them again.

Glad that Nicholson was on the ball, helped us with clogged outside drain and then helped our neighbor with more complex problem.  They duo a good job for a reasonable price, very professional.

I have used Nicholson Plumbing for about 10 years and have always been extremely happy with the service.  Tom installed a sump pump in my basement solving a pre-existing water problem.  In addition, he just installed an outdoor hot/cold no freeze faucet for dog washing.  He ordered the perfect faucet, installed it, and did repair work in the wall and painted.  
Previously, Colin and Angelo installed a water heater, installed an outside spigot out front and did other routine maintenance plumbing for an older house.  Everyone from Robin in the office  to all the plumbers are top notch.

From the initial call with Robin Nicholson, I knew I made the right choice. She was respectful and responsive. Plumbers were prompt, clean and efficient. They even came back the next day to finish the job.

The fee for the completed work was fair and I was able to pay with a credit card over the phone. If your looking for a plumber, consider this locally owned family business.

This might be our new favorite plumber. Our disposal broke on a Friday and I sent out quote requests Saturday using Yelp's nifty quote feature. Nicholson came in very competitive and they were in the house Monday morning and got the disposal fixed in no time. Great experience.

Nicholson Plumbing are my new go to plumbers in this area. We had a problem with our sewer ejector pump. Robin at Nicholson got us onto their schedule quickly. Chance and Phil were on time, figured out the issue, tested everything and left me with great news. Definitely would recommend Nicholson to friends/neighbors and will use again.

After receiving 2 other plumbing companies, and getting quotes, decided to do further research and called Nicholson. Received a quote that was right in the middle of the other two, but Nicholson's reviews impressed both my wife and I.

Today Angelo showed up on time, and got right to work. He installed our new toilet, made sure it works and snaked our shower drain in less than 2 and half hours.

We are very happy with the work, responsiveness and service that Nicholson Plumbing has shown and look forward to giving them.more business in the future.

We just bought a condo in February. The first weekend we had the keys we were over the house to do some work and I noticed that the sink plug was stuck in the down position. I asked my husband to take a look at it and when he touched the drain pipe, it burst! I asked my friends if they had a plumber they liked and they recommended Nicholson. They came in on Valentine's Day expecting a small job, but the whole pipe needed to be replaced until the T join. We rescheduled them for the following Tuesday morning. They were prompt, personable, and professional. Even with having to run out for a part, he was able to finish the job in under two hours and didn't break the bank to do it. He was also able to set my mind at ease about the state of the rest of the pipes. I plan on calling them again when I need to.

Keeping in mind we were talking about the hot water, of course the cold water side went. I went RIGHT over to Ferguson and found the Am Std replacement kit, for the escutcheons and handles and everything. We are new in 1951 again.

What a bunch of crap they were giving out.

I have now used Nicholson Plumbing for two jobs - a repair, and a new installation. Both times I was 100% satisfied with their work.   This is a family business, and it shows. The service is top notch. Scheduling is handled professionally and efficiently. In both cases, they arrived at or very close to the appointment time. The work was excellent, and the prices are fair.  This is my new go to plumbing company!

I wish I could give these folks 100 stars!

They were reasonably-priced, prompt, friendly, and the wonderful plumber took extra time and care to make sure our stopped up bathroom sink was good and clear. And also fielded all of my (probably annoying) how-why questions while working calmly. And kept cleaning up the unavoidable splashes from the snaking.

Two days later, we called them back because the bathtub was backing up. The same wonderful and friendly plumber came back, snaked THAT drain, and would not charge us or accept any money, since the company felt it was THEIR action of snaking our sink that caused the tub drain backup!

I only have one request: Nicholson Plumbing, can you PLEASE expand into the health insurance business?  :)

Colin came to repair a leaky pipe yesterday and it just reminded me again why Nicholson is the only plumbing company we call. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and affordable. Their plumbers often go the extra mile in explaining issues and offering advice. My grandfather was a plumber and Nicholson reminds me of the quality of service he provided.

Colin and Chance are the best!  Robin is friendly and polite and returns a call promptly.  Work is done right the first time and the work area is left clean!  Best I have ever dealt with.

They are a small family owned plumbing business and very knowledgeable. Their price and estimates are very honest and usually lower then their competition. Work was completed in a timely manner and area was cleaned afterwards. However, we did have a major sewer line problem and we were under the impression that were in queue to have the line replaced. After waiting 2 months with no call backs and playing phone tag afterwards we decided to go with a larger company. They seem to be a small company that is simply growing too quickly for its owners to handle.

I would recommend them in the future for small jobs, but for more complex jobs I am going to leave it to larger companies.

Service - B-

I had good experiences with Nicholson plumbing. It is family owned and it is operated that way. The dispatcher and service person are very friendly, they remember who you are and what your particular circumstances/situation is. After moving into our home and taking care of an existing leak that the previous owners lived with, I was in no mood to get into large scale, disruptive repairs. The technician at Nicholson gave me tips on how to save money by putting off needed (but not critical) repairs so at least I had some breathing room to get the rest of the house in order.
I would definitely recommend this company.

This review is for Tom and his crew. They helped us remove an old concrete sink, install a new sink and install fixed duct for our dryer. Not only the price they gave us was reasonable, they did a fantastic job on the work and made our basement look more spacious! The communication experience with Robin and Tom was great as well. They took time to explain the work and made good suggestions. Very honest and experienced. We will definitely contact them for future needs again.

I rate them in the middle of the road because I can neither confirm nor deny the quality of the work. The posting says there is a 100% response rate and 50 minutes, I did receive a response to my inquiry....about 3 hours later. It was a follow-up question which I responded to later as well. Now, 2 weeks later with an intermittent message from me again, I have yet to hear back if this is even a job they are capable of or interested in. As a result, I would suggest you reach out to multiple plumbers as this may not pan out as planned.  They are either too busy(which could be a good sign) or not interested and not willing to let you know. I sincerely hope it is the first!

Having used Nicholson Plumbing for many years, I can say that I have consistently been treated very well as a customer. All jobs were done well and at a reasonable price, including when unforeseen challenges arise due to non-standard elements found in my 78-year-old house.

I only take the time to write a few recommendations of businesses each year, but felt compelled to do so in this case. Today they spent time debugging a problem with my heating zone system that another HVAC & plumbing company got wrong. Because no parts were changed out, they elected not to charge me even though they spent over an hour looking at the problem. It is a relief to deal with a home services company that treats customers in a such a fair manner.

As a first time homeowner I have lots of issues to take care of, but the most important was plumbing.  Not knowing where to start I checked reviews of local plumbers on Yelp and requested estimates from 5 of the highly rated ones. Ultimately I selected Nicholson because they were available the next day, and their estimate was lower than the other 4 that I contacted, and their reviews on Yelp were great.  They arrived when expected and proceeded to get to work replacing a washer utility box and leaky valves.  They did a great job, and gave me some advice about some other issues I mentioned.  They also hooked up my refrigerator ice-maker.  Collin and Chance were neat, very friendly and helpful.  Looks like I have a go-to plumber!  Thanks guys :)

Not only does my plumber of choice have to believe me when I say I wasn't the one who clogged the toilet, they also have to be affordable, trustworthy and fast-acting. I'm pumped to have found Nicholson, which gets a check in every category!

Nicholson gave me the best quote when I called around a few weeks ago for a non-functioning shower, even explaining the different price points that could arise if the problem was A, B, or C. A couple of the other companies I talked to told me that the problem was definitely going to be the most expensive one, never mentioning the cheaper possibilities Nicholson informed me of. Lo and behold, when Nicholson arrived and did some investigating, it was in fact the cheapest problem, and they fixed it for the price they'd quoted me.

When the shower started malfunctioning again a few weeks later, I called them up and they came out and fixed it up again immediately (it was just a loose screw), without ever suggesting they might charge me for their time.

I've always talked to the same person when I've called, which is great, and all the servicemen who've been over have been friendly, respectful of the house, and more than accepting of my crazy dog. Can't ask for more than that!

As Seinfield said, it's not about *making* appointments, it's about *keeping* them. I called two days in advance, a very pleasant receptionist made an appointment... and called one hour prior to the appointment time to cancel it. The plumber has called in sick. Moreover, they don't have any openings the next day, either, since they are busy with another client.
There is a thing called professionalism. If I promised to do something, I keep my promises. At work, especially. This is what you're judged on. My judgment in this case - one star. Good luck.

I found Nicholson through a neighborhood listserv and called for them to snake an outside drain that had been backing up. I called yesterday afternoon and they came out first thing this morning. My husband said they were clean, polite and professional and did just what we needed. They took the time to explain what they were doing and offer suggestions for the future. The price seemed reasonably to me although I've never had a drain snaked so I have no point of comparison.
We will definitely be calling them again and will likely have them come out to give us a quote on some bathroom remodeling.

This company was extremely responsive.  Called them over the holiday break and they came to my home within one hour of my call.  They fixed my hot water heater, toilet and a few other smaller items in the house.  Would highly recommend them.  They gave me a verbal estimate before the work was performed and the actual came out very close to that number.  No surprises from them at all.

Great, professional attitude from their plumbers.  Would absolutely use them again but hopefully won't have to for a while.

Hard to put down 5 stars after I put down almost $200 for a clogged drain, but then again I was very happy with the service.  I think that, in this game, if you balk a little about the price, they cut it a little for you to soften the blow.  In this case, I was just happy that it wasn't going to cost me much, much more.  

Called and a very nice lady answered the phone and promised she'd get someone within the next three hours.  She said she'd call when he was on the way, but must have forgotten.  I was in the middle of a time-sensitive chore when someone showed up just about an hour later, but he didn't mind waiting for a minute.  Point is, they came fast, and since my problem prevented the use of our kitchen and laundry, I was very happy about that.  

He cut a pipe, unclogged the stoppage and replaced the section with a removable section so that the problem would be easier to resolve, should it happen again.  He also gave me some good advice about taking care of pipes in an older house.

Not only that, but he helped me to locate a valve that eluded me since I've moved in, and now we have use of another spigot that was previously off.

I'll call these guys first when I need plumbing again.

This is the second time I used Nicholson Plumbing.  With the severe winter and heavy rains the last 3 weeks, our original sump pump began to falter.  Robin was able to schedule Chance to come out and replace the bad pump before we would have had a huge basement flood.  Great customer service at the front office.  Kudos to Nicholson Plumbing!

Received a quick quote to replace a saddle valve that was no longer working with a good, ball valve.  The quote was reasonable and I scheduled the work about a week and a half later.  The plumber was very friendly, quickly completed and checked the work, and cleaned everything up after.  I wanted to watch to learn what he was doing and he happily explained everything that he was doing.  All around great experience.

It's 10:00 P.M. when I get home and realize that my kitchen ceiling is leaking, and has been leaking since I left for work, given the fact that my cupboards, oven, and counters are covered in water. I panic, throw some pots underneath the ceiling, and hope for the best when I start calling plumbers in the area in the morning.

I called three before I tried Nicholson Plumbing. All went to voicemail. It was such a nice surprise to actually get a receptionist! She was extremely pleasant and understanding, promising to send someone out that day. True to her word, two men from the company showed up during the time period she gave me, and found the source of the leak (a pipe above my kitchen ceiling).

Unfortunately the pipe was in such an awkward location that they had to come back the next day to spend time in both my kitchen and in my bathroom upstairs above it. Again, they came at the time that they said they would, and they finished the repair. No more leaking pipe - woo-hoo! They were respectful (I'm in my twenties and they called me ma'am) and genuinely nice. They didn't roll their eyes when I asked a million questions and I trusted them completely in my house. I'm so glad that I found a good plumbing company in the area! I can't sing their praises enough.

The plumbers came within the time frame, they were very professional, courteous, and helpful.  My garbage disposal was jammed and my dishwasher had been improperly installed, causing major leaking in my kitchen.  

They were able to easily identify the problems and fixed them within the hour.  This was my first experience with a plumber and I am really relieved that it was such a positive one!  I hope I won't have to, but, if i need to I will definitely call them again.

Did a nice job replacing our toilet tank, on time and prompt. It was not a complicated job, but my regular plumber told me that with a cracked tank I had to replace the whole toilet at a much higher cost. These guys went out and found the tank (not a common one) so appreciate that.

The best plumbers anywhere. Robin the manager is amazing-she is knowledgeable and follows up like no one I've dealt with before. The plumbers are highly professional. I've had them perform lots of work--installing new toilets, new sink fixtures, replacing a garbage disposal, hot water heater maintenance and every job is performed in an A+++ fashion.

I had a serious plumbing problem for years in my mid century home in Garrett Park. I had at least three plumbers try and fix it unsuccessfully before Nicholson came in and stuck with it and fixed it professionally- and then refinished what they had to rip apart and put it back like new. This is a family business and they were always prompt and fair in pricing. I highly recommend them

can you give zero stars?  Their reviews are so solid, so nice on the phone, so quick to come over and assess and then...pooof - nothing.  In all fairness, they did say that they were very busy and would need to schedule a pipe/shower repair 2 weeks out, but after a week of waiting with no word and then calling back to find out that a date was never scheduled in the first place was so frustrating!  Bottom line, I suspect that they are good plumbers but thumbs down on the follow through!

After getting burned by the last plumber I called, I took a chance on Nicholson based on the yelp reviews.Robin responded quickly on email to set up an appointment. I really appreciate the email option from service providers since I can't take calls at my job which tends to result in endless games of phone tag. No such problem here. Angelo came out the next day and was great. He was critical of the unnecessary work done by the last plumber, which validated my belief that the fix didn't make sense. He unclogged my problematic basement drain, cleaned up after himself, and charged less than either of the two plumbers who snaked it in the past. I already recommended them to another friend who just got an insane estimate from a plumber and I will call on them again for sure.

Angelo came out to replace my outside frost free spigot that burst.  He was on time and he knew what he was doing.

Great, professional, courteous service.  Came out on Saturday, no extra charge.  Very fair price and first-class repair all the way.  Will use again, for sure.

Like so many others during this cold wave, I had a broken water pipe.
Really impressed by this company's response:
Telephone dispatch - prompt, informative, courteous, helpful.
Technician - prompt, friendly, competent.
Cost: very reasonable.
Overall impression: these guys care about doing it right, and fairly.
Will definitely use again.

We had a good experience with Nicholson Plumbing.  We had problems with two toilets;  one was very noisy & slow when refilling and the other had a phantom flush.  The plumber showed up on time and quickly diagnosed the problems.  He replaced 3 parts and some pipe.  Total charge for parts and labor was $ 178.

I just bought a house that needed some plumbing work and a hot water tank. I called several recommendations but Robin sold me sounding so sweet and helpful when I set up the appointment. They called 20 minutes before arriving on time. Chance came and looked at our sink and showers and was honest about what could be done and helped to save us from a major project. He got us a quote for a new hot water tank which we accepted and the same day Colin came out and installed. Both Colin and Chance were fantastic, honest, informative, and I have a new plumbing company. Not that we want a lot of plumbing done but if needed, I totally trusted them and felt like they were trying to help us. Locally owned family business too which is way better.

Need a plumber? Then you have found your dream business!

Colin and Matt are the best- and they have been to our home three times for different things, for a total of six days. Three toilets replaced, replaced copper piping, water hammer issues, and more- these men do it all.

They identified a huge problem- and gave us options, costs, but, most importantly, REASONS why things were better or worse. We chose a more expensive option due to the reasonableness of their fees.

This company operates with very high ethical standards- which is so very, very important, as a poor plumbing job can destroy your home.

The office manager, Robin, is a gem- sweet, responsive, friendly, and accommodating. And, when our job turned into more than they thought, the owner and his helper came to help out- at no extra charge.

We have had several other area plumbers in the past five years- one of whom did not even recognize a backflow valve, and wanted to take it out (and charge us for it) and one who tore up our floors taking an appliance out.

I cannot tell you how 'safe' I felt with their recommendations- and, as they also do light work in other areas, we are having them do some 'non-plumbing' things on the next visit- because we trust them. They are on time, and they keep you informed about when they will arrive.

They also helped us learn more about our house, and the plumbing. Ours is not a simple home, and has plaster walls, so they were very careful with trying to find a leak. That is worth it's weight in gold. Colin is the DaVinci of plumbing, I still am not sure how he did what he did with our crazy pipes- but it is perfect.

And you cannot beat a plumbing company that you can trust. And the cost? A lot less than comparable companies.

Family owned, and operated. A small company, but if it isn't an emergency, wait for them. You will not regret it.

When I remodel my bathroom suite, (they do it all) I will use them. There is no other choice!

I've used this company twice now.  They are easy to schedule.  They arrive on time.  They do a good job in a timely fashion.

They have replaced a tub spout because the old one was calcified to the point where it could not longer be used.  They also did a toilet repair to replace the rusted bolts and a few other small things (the parts inside the toilet tank get worn down especially if the cleaning tabs are used in the tank).

Colin showed up precisely on time.  As it turns out the problem we had was pretty minor, and probably something I could have fixed myself had I known what to do.  Colin was great about explaining what the issue was, without any condescension or making me feel dumb for not figuring it out myself.  After fixing it, he charged $105, which was exceedingly fair.  Also, Robin in the office was helpful and professional.  All in all, a top notch company.

Very happy with the service.  The final bill came in right below estimate.  The plumber we had was very friendly.  My son adored him, and the plumber was very good at entertaining a two-year-old who wanted to watch everything he did.  My son actually pretended to fix the pipes for months after the plumber left.

The phone customer service was excellent too.  We had a pipe burst, and they came within a few hours.  The water had stopped flowing (which they helped with), and they had a few other emergencies ahead of us. They apologized again and again for  taking 3 hours, but I was actually impressed they came that quickly!  The office called in the afternoon to make sure that the plumber had come and addressed all of our concerns.

We've found our plumber!

I had a spot in the ceiling that I suspected was caused by a leaky pipe.  I called Nicholson Plumbing at about 8:30am on a friday morning.  I was hoping to get an afternoon appointment.  The receptionist said the afternoon was all booked up but somebody could probably come around 10am.  

Their guy Chance showed up shortly after 10am.  He checked toilets and stuff upstairs to see if anything was leaking down, but to no avail.  So had to cut open the ceiling unfortunately.  Sure enough, it was a leaky copper supply pipe.  He provided an estimate of $200-$250, and that it would take about an hour and a half.  It ended up taking a little over an hour, and he said it was on the easier end, so it was $200. So it was nice he charged the low end of his estimate.  I had a $10 coupon (look on their website) so the final bill was $190.

Overall the cost seemed reasonable I guess, $200 is no chump change, but I'm guessing that was about the going rate.

After he finished, Chance looked at the kitchen faucet that doesn't have very good pressure without an extra charge.

Overall I was was pretty satisfied.  The End.

I have used them a few times for minor plumbing issues around my house.  They are usually able to come and make any repairs within a couple days.  Prices seem fair. I also don't ever feel like they are trying to 'upsell' or push services on me that I don't need.

Surprised that so many five star reviews do not mention their prices.  They came around promptly to install a kitchensink faucet set for me.  They had mentioned 80 or 90 for this.  It came to $130 or more, just to install the faucet set.  Which took well less than 1 hour.  
I wasn't warned beforehand that it would cost more than the earlier figure mentioned.  So far, it seems a good install job, so cannot complain there.  They are timely and competent.   However, I will have to think twice before using them again.  People, use Consumer Checkbook's free advice on plumbers FYI.

I was referred to Nicholson through a good friend, so I knew going in that it would be a good experience. They were professional, on time, quoted the price over the phone based on my description, and honored the quote. Reliable and honest. I've used them several times and will continue to do so.

I called Nicholson for a clogged kitchen drain - they came the next day.  Angelo the plumber arrived on time, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.  I can now say that I have a Plumber that I can call on and trust - thank you!

Nothing but praise for Nicholson Plumbing. It is so refreshing to work with a local, family-owned company that provides both excellent service and excellent customer service. Robin at the office is friendly and responsive, and she went out of her way to accommodate our condo's (bizarre) requirements from their company. The two gentlemen who came to do the work were punctual (early even! BOTH times!), considerate (they cleaned up after themselves!), and personable. Most importantly, they did a great job. The prices were completely reasonable, and the guys worked quickly and efficiently. I will absolutely be calling Nicholson for future jobs, and I would recommend them to any friend, as well.

Nicholson Plumbing is fantastic!  They are honest and knowledgeable.  Also the customer service is great.  They are super friendly and quick with communicating.  It is a family owned business so I spoke with the mom (Robin) on the phone and the son came to do the estimate.  They were on time, efficient and offered fair prices.  I would highly recommend using this company!

I called Nicholson a few months ago, they were very responsive, but I cancelled when I was able to resolve the problem myself.  I promised myself I would call again when I needed a plumber.  Well, called this week, and the woman who answered was so pleasant and helpful, and I had someone out within the next two days (it was a non-emergency).  They came out, were very friendly yet professional - and even better efficent and REASONABLY priced.  It is hard to find good companies where you can trust the service, pricing and results. I learned they are family-owned and operated and that makes me like them even more.  Would definitely use their services again and refer them to others.

I just recently had a plumbing issue.  I did some web searches and found some that were an 'EBSCO best pick'.  After reviewing their reviews (not impressed), I found Nicholson Plumbing.  A small family run business with excellent reviews.  The technician was on-time, polite, helpful, clean, and efficient.  AND, the price was reasonable.

I made the call to Nicholson Plumbing on a Thursday afternoon. They set up an 8:30-9am window from the very next day. We had been experiencing problems with the toilet in our master and main baths. The plumber showed up on time, and my cousin let him in. Rather than inconveniencing me and having me leave work to go home and pay him, they simply let me call the office and give them my credit card info. My cousin had to leave for work while the plumber was still there. The plumber called me when he was done and informed me that he had left the receipt on our kitchen table and locked the door behind him. It took him about 30 minutes to snake the master toilet and do some stuff to the other toilet to prevent future problems. They charged us the minimal fee of about $100. I will definitely recommend them to my neighbors and friends. From the office to the field, their staff are friendly, professional, and efficient!

When I began leaving messages for plumbers for this episode, I either didn't specify, or said I had a root problem, figuring that if I mentioned the word sewer they *really* wouldn't call me back.  After the two other local plumbers rated highly on Washington Consumer's Checkbook either didn't call back, or said they don't work on the main sewer line, I saw Nicholson Plumbing on Yelp, and called them about 8 this morning.  A bright, cheerful young lady answered and said yes they do this work, and yes they can come today between 12:30 and 2.  Two guys arrived at 12:20 *the same day*, and by 1:20 pm they had cleared the roots out of the main effluent line and were done.  I hadn't asked the price in advance, counting on their good reputation here on yelp.  The Nicholson guys based their price on the distance to the jam, and it came out way, way less than I had paid another plumber for the same job about 12-14 years back.  In summary they came the same day I called, got the job done promptly, were knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and the price was *excellent*.   What's not to like?
