Best Businesses in Washington, DC

Best plumbing service in the area. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family. They are very professional and knowledgeable.

This is the fourth project that Lee and his team have done for me.  My first was when I moved back home after hip replacement surgery and needed some modifications needed to make my townhouse safer.  They installed a pocket door between my bedroom and bath to allow for safer access instead of the smaller standard door.  And they replaced the handrails on both stairs, adding extra rails to make turning the corners safer.  

My most recent project was to have my deck replaced with composite decking, new gate and replacement of the trim around my French patio doors.  Lee worked very hard with me to get the color of decking I wanted to use - whitewash cedar.  Although the order was delayed a couple of times, he kept me in the loop, and surprised me with an email saying the order was in, and they could come tomorrow (Wednesday May 11).

Eber and Carlos showed up promptly at 8 AM, and efficiently torn off the old deck and proceeded to ensure all of the post and framework left was safe and secure. By the end of the day (and as others have said, they worked until the job was complete), I had a beautiful new deck!

I check with Lee that evening, and the same great crew came back the next day to complete the project.  Again, excellent work, and one of my favorite parts is how well they always clean up, and make sure everything looks better than when they started.

This is heartfelt Shout Out and Kudos to Lee and his wonderful team of experienced, conscientious and professional craftsmen.  

Thank you

Mr. Stutzman was honest, professional, and friendly when fixing our leaky garbage disposal.  He cut to to the heart of the problem within just a few minutes, and was able to provide a sturdy fix that will last for years.  His expertise and experience were obvious.

We highly recommend his services.  Great plumber who is native to the Arlington area!

I do not recommend. We hired them to reseal a toilet as water was leaking causing an odor, mold around the base ring of the toilet, and for the hardwood floors to warp. Once they completed the work, we provided a good review on thumbtack. After several months, we noticed an odor, the black residue on the toilet ring,  and the hardwoods warping again. We contacted them to come back out (which they agreed to). However, they cancelled twice on us.

We then hired another plumber who verified that their work was not done properly and we were having the same issue. He took photos, wrote a summary, then fixed the issue properly.

After my partner reached out to them to share this (with photos), they sent an incredibly inappropriate message back and encouraged us to write reviews and stated that we were reaching out because we needed money. I would not recommend giving this company your business.

I have been relying on Mr. Thomas for nearly a decade to do plumbing work on my house in the Fells Point area of Baltimore.  He's very professional -- he shows up on time and completes the work with good communication about price and scope.  I particularly appreciate that he will tell you when work is NOT needed or would be a waste of money.

Very knowledgeable and helpful explaining the process of replacing my water heater. Mike was very quick to respond and made sure I understood the pros and cons of each choice.

Jorge showed up promptly and worked efficiently to solve various plumbing issues in our old house.  And, upon investigation, determined that we did not need expensive work we had thought was needed.  Will definitely call them again when new issues arise.

I've used Kensington Plumbing for a few projects. Robin in the office is great, and gets back to you asap. I prefer communicating via text, and she has no problem with that. The guys that come out are professional, extremely courteous, and look for the most expeditious, and cost effective way of taking care of your problem. I highly recommend! Will always use them.

Estimate over the phone, job done next day for half the price of another company. On time, professional, friendly, old school business. My next plumbing job will be theirs as well.

Great service. Doron is very professional, responsible and honest! The price is reasonable. You won't regret choosing him!

Brian K was extremely pleasant and helpful in detecting the source of our leak.  We have had several people out to diagnose the issue and he is the first person who was able to ID the issue.

I've used this service several times and have always had professional and reliable work done at a fair price. I highly recommend this business.

Top to bottom, I found Tim Whistler Plumbing to be total pros. Their response time was amazing, considering what a busy time It was. They were there, on the job the very next day and even arrived 5 minutes early! Clear estimate, fair pricing, clean and very kind. What more could a homeowner ask? I will definitely call them agin!

Short and sweet: Fred has been my plumber for more than 10 years. Every good thing that is said about him in the other reviews is true. He is honest, supremely competent, respectful, and personable. If you hire him you will always be fully informed about the job he is doing and what the cost will be. It doesn't get any better!

I have used Tom Hardisty several times now for a plumbing emergency and then for general maintenance. I have finally found my Go To plumber, and I am relieved knowing I have Tom to call. He is extremely honest and charges very fair prices, unlike those big plumbing companies who send out plumbers with half the knowledge and skill set of Tom.

During my plumbing emergency (washing machine valve burst), Tom called me right back and walked me through how to get the situation under control (which enabled my water to be turned back on:). He didn't even know me yet. He fixed that plumbing problem and since then I have had Tom do many plumbing projects for me like: 1) replace garbage disposal 2) add water pressure valve to home as mine was dangerously high 3) install new faucet 4) change all toilet tank bolts and gaskets 5) replace fill valve/guts for two toilets.

It's really hard to find an ethical plumber who takes such pride in his work and makes sure he does right by his clients. Example, I said to Tom recently when he was working in my home that I will probably need a new hot water heater soon. He took a look and said no you won't; you shouldn't need a new hot water heater for a few years.

Thank you Tom from the bottom of my toilet (haha;)!

Outstanding service! My AC stopped working on a day where the temperature was expected to get up to 92 degrees, which was stressful to say the least. They were able to get to my house within an hour of me calling (partially a stroke of luck in the scheduling and where the technician was in the city at the time, but it was great nonetheless). They had the issue identified and resolved within an hour and now my house doesn't feel like a sauna anymore. Reasonable price too, highly recommended!

Sykes Plumbing is the absolute best.  I had a pipe burst in my home and contacted Sykes immediately.  The Master Plumber Herman arrived at the time slotted, which was within a few hours. Upon entry into my home, his professionalism showed. He gave me his business card and introduced himself accordingly.  He got right down to business, which was asked questions and detected the area of concern.  He then began to fix my pipe.  Not only did he fix it in a timely manner, however, he also took the time to explain what took place and ways in which I can prevent this from happening in the future.  I was so satisfied with the services rendered and I highly recommend Sykes for your plumbing needs.  Will definitely utilize him again as well as pass his business on to others.  You won't regret using Sykes Plumbing Services.  They are the best!!

Horrible.  Charged $675.00 for an initial visit.  Took our garden hose and sprayed water at the front of our house.  Once water started coming in, they stopped testing...didn't test all the way across.  The person also broke our hose sprayer.  Never use this service.  Total rip-off.  They also don't fix anything.  Our plumber provided better leak detection services for a quarter of the price, and they fix stuff.
