Best Businesses in District of Columbia

A previous plumber had tried and failed to remove the leaky cartridge from our shower.  He had said the only thing to do was the replace the entire shower valve, which meant breaking through a wall in the living room!  When we explained the situation to Denver's Plumbing, Donnie said he was pretty sure he could get the old cartridge out, but given the hard water in our area it might be corroded to the point where plumber #1 was right and he'd have to replace the valve.

But he succeeded where a lesser plumber had failed!  And I am extremely relieved.

He also came on time, did some other plumbing chores, and charged a reasonable price.

He is a HVAC professional and didn't tell me that, I thought he was a plumber. Did a less than average job for installing a sink,faucet and attaching dishwasher. He couldn't even find right parts. I had to go to out to get parts twice. First time he was with me and forgot part of the foucet in the shopping cart. I end up with almost 7 extra parts.
Anyway I don't know his HVAC work. But I wouldn't hire him ever again as a plumber.

I started using Roto-Rooter for my plumbing needs in my condo (replacing water lines and valves, fixing toilets, replacing faucets, etc.) many years ago.  So far no complaints.

We just recently replaced our furnace, Hvac compressor, hot water heater and put on a brand new deck in our back yard.  Everything went amazingly smooth.  Carlos was the upmost professional and very responsive to our questions and requests.  We ended up adding on additional work at the end because he did such a great job with the initial contract.  Without hesitation- I would recommend C&S to anyone looking to do any home improvement.  He does it all and does it all very well!

Wonderful service-absolutely the best. Starting with Steven Heidler himself coming out and pricing up replacing and reconnecting my plumbing under the sink after we had new granite countertops installed and  replacing the drain and overflow on my tub in the bathroom.  Work was priced as a flat rate and was priced fairly and competitively-we had gotten 4 estimates total from local plumbers as well as BGE Home.  Matt our tech arrived on time and completed the work very professionally and cleanly-covered everything on the floor and cleaned up all debris-checked and rechecked three time to make sure there were no leaks in the connections and that the dishwasher and garbage disposal were operating correctly.  No surprise they have such a high rating on Yelp and Angie's List. Will definitely use again for our next plumbing project and will also think of them first when it's time to replace our heating system.

Tony, Matt , and Trish have been our sprinkler system service provider for many years now. After years of indifferent, and even some shady and unprofessional providers they have been an asset to have. Today Tony responded immediately to fix a broken cap and prevented a potential disaster for us. Not only that but he decided it was too minor to charge us for an unscheduled visit!
Over the years Tony, Matt and their team have done elaborate projects in our garden as we evolved and kept changing our landscape. Their work is meticulous, done with utmost care to details, and always in a professional yet friendly manner.
In the field of landscaping and irrigation it is hard to find such level of service. These guys are a real asset to have - the name they picked couldn't be more fitting to what you get!!!

I am very pleased with the exceptional work from this company. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and at a time that was helpful for the needs of my family. We had two ceiling fans and four lights installed. The two gentlemen who completed the work were efficient and ensured we were happy with the quality of the work. They also completed the work in a reasonable time the same day. Very satisfied with this company and we will be recommending them to friends and family. Thank you!

OMG Patrick saved our ass and showed up two hours after I called, during a snowstorm after a pipe burst and flooded our basement. He and his wife provided the best possible customer service and excellent work.

If I were still young enough, I would bear his children.

Cannot say enough good about this company. Reliable, dependable, honest. They plumbed my entire addition from beginning to end.  Showed up every day they agreed to, worked the entire time they were here and did a very professional job. Maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. The final product was amazing and the price was fair.  There were no add ons or hidden fees from his initial contract.  He kept his word to a T.  I asked him about another plumbing issue in my home with the old pipes... he could have said that I need to do xyz to fix it to make a few extra dollars, but rather he answered honestly stating the old plumbing should be fine and no need to spend any more money.  I'm usually critical and cynical about most people, but in this case I do not have one negative thing to say about this company.  Highly recommend.

had them replace a existing dishwasher,tech was there for a little over a hour. was charged 275.00 for the labor. would never think to call them for anything major or time consuming!!!

I called Excellence Plumbing for an emergency fix on my gas water heater. I spoke to a plumber right away and scheduled a visit the next day. I checked in with the plumber that morning to let him know my contractor would be there to let him in and to give me a call afterwards to talk about the issue. I never heard from the plumber again. I tried calling in the afternoon and was hung up on. I do not recommend this company.

2 years ago as a renter, I wrote a glowing review of Shannon and his company. Fast forward 2 years as a home owner and I can still say the same things about him. I tried dealing with my home warranty folks about a leaky water heater, but knowing I couldn't get someone out same day and what a sham it was the last time I called, I decided to ask Shannon instead. Shannon called me back within a few minutes and was working out a time to come over same day that wouldn't interfere with my daughter's birthday dinner, well after a workday. He knew the problem instantly and worked a solution for me in less than an hour and for less than it would have cost me through the home warranty. Shannon is a straight-shooter and will always tell you the bottom line, saving you time and money. He'll instruct you through all of his repairs and follow it up with tips for afterwards. On top of it all, they protect all of your carpets and floors with tarps and clean the work areas thoroughly when they're finished. Absolutely professional and competent. You will not be disappointed going with Shannon and his team.

Our A/C stopped working during the first heat wave of the summer. After a bit of follow up we were able to get a technician out from Brian B Quick the next week. He diagnosed the issue (broken fan motor) and didn't charge for the assessment; a plus given that other companies can charge up to $100-200!

However, he estimated the cost of repair at $1,500 and then said we were better off replacing our entire A/C system for $10,000 since it was old. That recommendation didn't make sense to me, and a bit of web research suggested the fan motor repair should be significantly less than the estimate we were given. The second company we called fixed the issue for $695. I appreciated the free assessment, but the overpriced estimate and attempted upsell make me hesitant to try this company again.

Called Brian for a emergency plumbing issue where my basement got flooded. In less than a hour after the call he was able to come out and fix the problem.

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.

The team at DMV Plumbing has helped me several times and always come through. For me, I like to understand the issue, and DJ takes time to explain the problem and how he is planning to solve it. While the initial connection was based on a plumbing issue - problematic piping leading to leaking - they have helped me with electrical issues as well, including installation (ceiling fan, under-cabinet lighting, new GFCI outlet), as well as correcting a wiring issue presented from an earlier contractor.

I was out of town and John Nugent & Sons was nice enough to resolve a leak at my house.  Their rates appear to be higher than I'm used to seeing.  Over 400 dollars to replace a washer hot water hose.  If 200 a hose I would rather they had only changed one.

I had a great experience with Cross County!  I called about a toilet. Donnie promptly set me up with an appointment. Based on my description of the problem, he told me the possible causes and gave me an estimate for repairs.

The next morning, Rob appeared right on time. He slipped on his shoe covers and came in to check things out.  He explained what was wrong and told me how he was going to fix it. Then he did so for exactly the price I was quoted!

None of this should be surprising.  But having a plumber who shows up on time, explains repairs clearly and charges a fair price is rare.  I really appreciate professional and polite service that I received from Cross County.

Grossly over charged and the bath still doesn't drain. Supposedly had my work order transferred to upper management for review and still haven't heard back. Work preformed on 07/31.

Elevated plumbing was recommended from my 2-10 Warranty Company. The plumber/owner called to tell me the appointment time from 9-11. He didn't show up to my house until 1:30 after I called him 2 times to inquire his ETA. While in my home he flirted with my adult cousin, talked on his cell phone that continued to ring. He smelled of liquor on his breath . Not to mention he brought 2 other men to my house that CLEARLY wasn't technicians. They had to stay in the truck & not my home. He refused to do the work. Stated he was coming to see what the issue was with my toilet. He refused to replace the parts with above standard parts which my warranty company covered. He was yelling, disrespectful and jingled the toilet handle & said its fixed now pay me my money. I refused to pay & told him to leave my home. You failed to do the work. The toilets were continuously running, sinker needed replaced & over flowing causing floor damage. He was only after the trade fee money & not the work which tells me he's probably filing false claims to the warranty company for work he doesn't perform. I have been w/ 2-10 Warranty company since 2001 & never dealt with a lack of professional, disrespectful, inadequate, unreliable, poor customer service company like Elevated Plumbing!!! I wouldn't recommend them to NOBODY! Horrible service and disrespectful attitude. BEWARE!!!
