Best Businesses in District of Columbia

We have had consistently great experiences with Drain Works since buying an old house last year. So reliable, well-informed, and personable. Can't recommend them enough!

Very helpful.  Great advice on how to fix my problem.  Arrived pretty much on time and finished up quickly.  Will likely use them again in the near future.

Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done.  They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

Great experience hiring Tony to fix a broken pipe that was flooding my crawlspace.  He was able to quickly diagnose the problem and fit the complicated repair into his busy schedule.  Overall, I was very pleased with his services and I appreciated how honest and easy he was to deal with.  I will not hesitate to use him again.

After: picture was of bathroom being remodeled. Friendly workers, he responded to messages and contacts quickly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Over inflated the cost of repair in order to try to sell me a new furnace. I guess they thought I would be an easy mark when they saw the two-year-old freezing by the fire.

Never showed up. Never called to explain.
Terrible customer service.
Multiple missed appointments.

We called Gus to help me with a clogged outside drain. One a rainy night he came within two hours.   He is knowledgeable and efficient.  He also made a couple of suggestions for a us to try to help us with our issue.   I would highly recommend Champion Plumbing and Drains.

Rob did a great job and fixed all of our issues incredibly quickly!  A wonderful visit, accomplished well, and much appreciated.

Ramon and his partner were excellent to work with.  They are true professionals and installed everything that I needed perfectly, which included blinds, ceiling fan, bathroom fan, TV mounting, and microwave replacement.  I'll be hiring him again.

Mr. Taylor has been assisting my family for years. He has helped us with everything from disastrous plumbing issues to minor fixes. He goes above and beyond every time and makes sure you understand the work he's doing. He is truly an expert at what he does. We're grateful for him. Highly recommend!

We've hired Brookland twice -- once to fix a leak and a second time to install a hose bib in our backyard. I would recommend them 100% for excellent, efficient work.

Our daughter was rushed to the emergency room and we had to go babysit out 21 month old granddaughter for a few days. Their kitchen sink was leaking and the water was turned off. She is a teacher and money is tight so they had not fixed it. My wife and I could not live without water in the sink so we called our old friend Van the Plumber who rushed out to help us. It turned out we needed a new faucet and Van changed his schedule around to come back a second time to install the new faucet.
He is so good, so responsive and so kind. I could never think of having another plumber touch any of our plumbing needs. Give him a try and you will feel the same way.

Not impressed... I called explained what was going on.  I was told ( without even coming out to diagnose the problem) that it wound be better for me to get a new how water heater since it cost 1300 abs it repair the heater it would be 500...he must of had telepathic hot water diagnosis skills

My wife woke up this morning and informed me- at 0530- we had no hot water. I was like *psh* just run the hot for a minute and it will kick in. Nope  *damnit* I run to the basement and notice the hot water heater's pilot light is out *no problem* hold down the knob and click the button *nothing* click click click *F$&KING NOTHING* CLICK CLICK CLICK *DAMNIT*
I put out some texts to friends looking for recommendations eventually leading me to Yelp. I send out some quote requests and *BING BANG BOOM* DMV  Plumbing and Waterproofing to the rescue.
Elliot is the man. He was very knowledgeable right from the break. He quoted me a price that was in my budget and reasonable considering the exigent nature of the job and the high end DMV market.
He was very professional and was killing it with the tunes. DC homes- ours no exception- are tight spaces, but he was able to install the new water heater and remove the old water heater with very little effort. Like threading a needle.
I appreciate Elliot's hard work and am now the proud owner of a brand new water heater and glorious hot water.
If you need plumbing services this is your guy!!!

Mahon Plumbing provides timely and professional services every time!  I've used them numerous times and they're always consistent.  They've given me great advice regarding how to avoid backups in my plumbing system.  From upgrading my toilet to cleaning my hot water heater to replacing my sump pump, Mahon Plumbing has been awesome to work with!  The time their technicians take to explain things is especially appreciated.  I'd highly recommend Mahon Plumbing for all of your plumbing needs!

If I can put minus I will put -5 stars.  They installed my brand new cooktop inappropriate.  After 3 times visitations,  they couldn't fix any troubles or find problem.  They explained to me that they did all they supposed to do.  However actually there are 5 wrong parts have been put.  VIA incorporate technician came to fix all of them.  After 1 & 1/2 months later my cooktop starts working.
