Best Businesses in District of Columbia

they replaced our ac and did a good job but the heater stopped working. I noticed the heater only after a month they replaced our AC. when I call them for an appointment, they don't show up during the 4 hour window they gave and the lady at the front desk was very sarcastic and says she does not ride with the contractors so she doesn't have any update.

something changed and the lady at the front desk is really bad and she should be not be in that line of work if she cannot handle couple of phone calls...

Responsive, respectful, and got the job down quickly. I couldn't ask for better service. Fixed a clog toilet and checked sink''s water pressure ($170).

We had Dennis came out today to fix a leak under the sink.  The office called ahead to let us know he is on his way.  It turns out to be a user error on our part.  Dennis showed us the problem and tighten the pipe and made sure the leak is fixed. Seriously the best plumber in town!

Adam is definitely the guy you want on speed dial!  The extensive knowledge he has is beyond any plumbers that has ever worked on my home. He provides affordable pricing and never tries to upsell. My water heater went out and he was quick to respond and got out to my home as soon as he could. He provided top quality work and also took adequate precautions to protect the floors and walls. I cannot recommend highly enough!

We had them come in and replace the thermostat on our water heater.  They did excellent work, and the workers were very courteous both on and off the phone.  They showed up on time and the cost we paid was a little under what we were quoted.

The only complaint was that they do bill per half hour on the labor, and the work completed only took a half hour, but we were billed for a full hour of labor anyway.

Nate's professionalism, honesty and customer service is refreshing. He was prompt in returning all phone calls prior to the appointment and arrived to assist within the window of time promised the day of service. He was very thorough in walking through my home and helping me troubleshoot the leaking issue. He also answered various questions I had with regards to pipes and plumbing in my home. I will definitely use him again, as well as recommend his services for anyone needing a plumber!

George (the owner) of Calabrese Plumbing is the best! He is honest and reliable. Amazing customer service and great personality.

I was pleasantly surprised by Otech. Everyone was respectful, and they gave great advice. They didn't try selling anything that I didn't need.

I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Rene and his crew. We've had them out twice to do work for us - the first time to replace a drop in sink. The sink project ending up being MUCH more complicated than we expected, the crew must have spent nearly 10 hours working on what should have been a pretty straight forward project. They truly went above and beyond to get the project done right for us. By the end of the day they felt like friends! I couldn't thank them enough for everything they did, and for very reasonable rates.

The second time they came out and replaced several of the shut offs for our hoses and the shut off on our water main, and replaced a shower valve that had gone bad. I am always totally blown away by their professionalism and work.

We plan to use them again when we remodel our kitchen to relocate a sink and and repipe some work that was done incorrectly before we moved in! We have our plumber for life!!

I don't write reviews, let alone for a plumbing company but everyone needs to know how amazing their service is! I called 4 plumbers because our water heater went down. They answered on the first ring rather than having to leave a message, I got a text with technician's photo that he was on his way, he also called to let me know he was on his way. AND he was out within 2 hours (earlier than quoted!) He educated me on our system as well while doing the work! GREAT service at a very reasonable price! I now have my go-to plumber and one I can proudly recommend

I heard some rumbling in my pipes and messaged a few businesses and Ahoy Plumbing was the first to respond. He came out the same day and made an assessment and told us what we needed to do. We decided to replace our water heater and he never charged us more than what he quoted us. I felt we were getting a fair assessment and he wasn't trying to make us replace things unnecessarily. I appreciated how kind and efficient he was. I would recommend him to anyone in the local area.

I often solicit projects using Yelp because I get a diverse array of responses from many professionals; some very qualified, some pretty useless.  In most cases I'm a DIY die hard but I don't mess around with plumbing and electrical issues and recognize when I need an expert.

After putting out my needs, Steve wrote quickly and gave me a clear and concise estimate, their availability and contact information.  Their price was the most reasonable by far and seemed like it was sent by a real human.  After touching base by phone, Steve (who is a one man shop based out of Marshall, VA) said he would honor the offer to come out even though he typically doesn't service DC.  He came out quickly and first thing in the morning, quickly identified additional issues that needed immediate addressing, worked to procure all the parts he needed and got to work, finishing before anyone even noticed the water was off.  Steve replaced a nearly 40 year old main water shutoff valve that was a half turn away from breaking on the pipe, installed a pressure reducing valve to save our skin from heightened water pressure, installed new shutoff valves and helped identify a leaky faucet, and installed a new toilet in less than three hours.

Trained as a carpenter and a plumber, Steve was thoughtful, attentive, and very detailed in his explanation and addressing of our problems.  He was kind and friendly and highly knowledgeable.  I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality work in the area and he will definitely be back in our home soon (if he's willing to drive to DC).

The service I received was terrible. Starting with the receptionist that gave me wrong information. The technician trying to enter my home without a mask. The technician not using foot covering. The manager Wayne Was rude. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

This place has an amazing selection of beautiful things. Great for window shopping (I guess more if you have the funds :) ), and the staff is very friendly and approachable. I've never seen so much unique tile in one place.

We had to call for an emergency plumber last night as one of our pipes burst due to the freezing cold weather. We have a very old house so things are often a challenge.  I know many families in DC were having the same problem last night so I am sure the company was swamped but they called right back and promised to help.   Carlos quickly appeared at our door ready to help.  He was so professional and careful.  He immediately diagnosed the problem and solved it in a bit over an hour and it involved cutting through our basement ceiling to get to the leaky pipe.   He used drop cloths on our hardwood floors and cleaned up the entire mess afterward  -- doing it all with a smile on his face.  He even gave us tips so we can try to make sure this doesn't happen again.   As he left he mentioned that he had 3 more emergency calls.  We were so very happy with this company and with Carlos.  I hope to never need an emergency plumber again but if I do - this will be the company I call without hesitation.

Eduardo took great care in replacing our kitchen sink faucet.  When a part was missing in the new faucet he took the time to go to Home Depot and get the missing part.  He also noticed a valve needed replacing and he took care of that.  He will be my go to plumber from now on

These folks are great!

Not only do they stock parts for the older houses in Fairfax, particulary Reston and Herndon, they also refer you to people when they know there are experts for particular jobs.  I had been to them before for odd parts that I know they have in stock.  They stock all the old parts as well as the new ones!

I needed a floor drain cleaned and was worried it is from my flat roof in one of Reston's older clusters.

After calling one of the national chains for a roto-root, I was given an estimate of $400 to clear the drain with a standard roto-root, but was also quoted a price of $800 for a possible need for a full power flush.

H&S very kindly referred me to Hicks Plumbing in Fairfax, VA.  Please look up Hicks if you have a stuffed floor drain!

The kind folks at Hicks were at my house the same day and provided excellent service.  The service cost $210 versus $400/$1,200 from the national chain.

You know you are dealing with real people when they refer you to someone else who is more qualified for a job..

Three cheers for H&S Plumbing!!!  

Go to them first before trying one of the big chains.

If you are a woman living alone, choose Furr. Their employees have been in my house multiple times and not once did any of them talk down to me or make me uncomfortable.

I wish I could give less than one star!  I called Grayton to repair a constantly running toilet-two to be exact.  They were courteous, prompt and extremely professional over the phone and even after arrving at my home.  After only a five minute analysis of one toilet it was determined that the toilets only needed to have flush valves replaced.  Flush valves are priced anywhere from $6.99 up to $45.00 depending on the specific part you need to have replaced.  I was handed a bill for $718.  I ended up repairing the toilets myself-only after having spent $75 for the consultation.  I have discussed this situation with other plumbers.  To no surprise, they are outraged and in disbebelief that Grayton would have the audacity to charge that outrageous amount.  My recommendation is to stay far-far away for Grayton Plumbing!!!!!!!!
