Best Businesses in Washington, DC

This plumbing company is the best kept secret in the wheaton/kensington area.
We have used them several times and are always more than satisfied with their service. They are responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. prices are good too.  So nice to deal with a local company instead of a chain.

I was able to quickly get a quote to repair a leaking sink that another company failed to fix.  After accepting their quote I was able to be scheduled for the next day.  They were able to explain to me the cause of the leak and how they had fixed it, making me feel confident that the work was done correctly.  I would definitely hire them again.

James has 5 stars for a reason. He came and fixed my clogged drain within an hour, the same day I contacted him.

Dan was very professional and price was reasonably fair. I would recommend him as a trustworthy and skilled plumber.

Got word from a tenant that the shower was stuck on at midnight.  They were able to get the main-water turned off to the house, but I needed to have a solution in the AM.  I called Steve at 6:15am, and he answered right away.  He was at the house by 7am to see what the issue was, went and got parts, and had it done by 10am.  

Great communicated throughout the job.

Could not have asked for a better experience, fastest service possible, and totally reasonable price.

He is now my go-to plumber on the Hill in DC.

A++

I was able to get a same day appointment to have my kitchen faucet replaced. The technicians were courteous, wore masks and shoes covers and got the job done quickly. They even disposed of my old faucet and the packaging for my new one. I was very pleased with the service.

Jose was awesome. Great communication. Transparent pricing. Takes pride in his work and was meticulous replacing our garbage disposal. Highly recommend.

I needed to have my lawn sprinkler system backflow preventer tested per dcwater.com/compliance. It requires a master plumber to have special training to perform the service and enter data into the DCWater.com system. Most local plumbers don't have the DCWater.com certification and those that do can be extremely expensive for this annual service. DCWater.com has a list of certified plumbers here: dcwater.com/backflow-ins…. After many phones calls and emails, I found licensed master plumber, Daryl Lomax, dhlomaxplumbing86@gmail.…, 240-299-4224.  Daryl was extremely responsive and offered to perform the service at a very competitive price and complete the work within the time frame I needed. Daryl was very professional. He both emailed and called me to confirm the time and keep me updated. He arrived ahead of time. He performed the work and closed out the submission on the DCWater.com official website before leaving the job site. He waited to confirm that DCWater.com had accepted the data before leaving. I was very impressed with his responsiveness and professionalism. I will choose him again next year for this annual service. I highly recommend DH Lomax Plumbing Services.

OUTSTANDING!  For background, I live in a two level condo on the lower level.  For months I had a rancid smell coming through the ductwork.  After having the ducts cleaned and scoped, nothing was found.  

The Condo Association brought in Kiddco Plumbing and Terry (the manager) called in the troops:  Cory, Eli and Filly.   Cory announced they would not be leaving until the problem was resolved which greatly relieved my mind.  Within a short time they found the issue:  the drain pipe from upper unit broke at the elbow below the concrete, 20 inches into the dirt.  The pipe ran into the Living Room and scoping determined the drain pipe was also bowed thus prevent the drain from properly flowing.   This involved tearing up the concrete floor in my dining room/living room.  It was a horrible, nasty, dirty job, but they closed off the entire area with plastic.  The dirt/concrete was all contained within this area and the dust was kept to a minimum.

Customer service was top-notch, and they did a great job keeping me informed throughout the process.  They are competent, reliable, and do quality work.  They were extremely knowledgeable, courteous and very professional.

Fantastic people and fantastic job!

I called Plump Right Plumbing later in the day, i thought they wouldn't come over until the next day. Brent came by immediately and stayed until the job was complete.
Since I'm giving up DIY plumbing Plumb Right will be my first call.

I had a trap under the sink that needed to be fixed. Limbert called me back quickly and came in the next day early in the morning. He found a solution that worked, and ended up costing less. I'm very pleased

I had two excellent experiences with Plumbtastic. They replaced my kitchen faucet and fixed a leak in record time. In fact, the owner and his assistant personally searched for the best priced faucet and went to a store to get it. Everything was done quickly and they didn't charge me extra for their effort.  The second time, they checked out a leak, couldn't fix it since it was AC related and their visit was free of charge. In addition to this, Plumbtastic is quick, extremely responsive and very nice.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about one of the plumbers, Tyson, and the fantastic service he provided! My bathtub stopped draining one evening, and I just thought it was a slow drain. When it wasn't gone in the morning and water started coming INTO the tub after using the sink and flushing the toilet (GROSS), I knew something was terribly wrong. I attempted to clear the drain myself with absolutely zero luck. Duvall provides a lot of plumbing services for my condo building and they came highly recommended by the manager on site. Our building is in Chantilly, and it looks like they service most of Northern Virginia.

I called Duvall at 1:30 p.m. and they were here within an hour. Normally, it may have taken longer, but Tyson was already servicing another unit in my building and he stopped by while he was here. He first tried to clear the clog from the toilet and then got a different snake for the tub. He is extremely pleasant and was really helpful in answering my questions. I was worried it was a much bigger issue than just a blockage, but after some careful diagnosis, we realized it was just a REALLY bad blockage.

After about an hour and two snakes later, Tyson was able to clear up my clog and do so without braking my bank account! The company comes highly recommended from my neighbors (one of which was almost screwed over into a brand new water heater by a different company, but it was really just a $50 fix! Which Duvall did with ease), and now they come highly recommended from me.

Give them a call when you have any trouble. You will NOT be disappointed.

I had been a Jiffy customer for years.  I had them install a vessel basin sink in my bathroom.  After a little over a year it began to leak from the bottom.  I had a different plumber come take a look at it.  He showed me that Jiffy's plumber had installed a sink that unbeknownst to me had a hole in the bottom of it!  Instead of telling me that there was a hole, Jiffy's plumber just plugged the hole with silicon and installed it anyway and charged me hundreds for the privilege!  The hole was so obvious there's no way could not have seen it! I contacted Jiffy by phone and email several times and sent them pictures and they never even bothered to respond.

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! They replaced my water heater and all piping three months ago and now it is not working at all. The water heater is leaking, it's making a horrible noise, and I have non hot water. I have been trying to reach them since December, 21st 2018, about 2 weeks now and have not received any call backs or emails back. DO NOT use their services. Horrible work, horrible customer service, no warranty on their material or workmanship. DO NOT USE THEM!

Personally I would love to give this business 5 stars but, Heidi would be the downfall. I found his establishment through the Montgomery County Referral Guidebook (p.61), based of the high reviews I figured let's give them a try; they even have same day service. Upon calling (shower faucet needed to be replaced) I had the honor of speaking with Heidi. When asked about pricing, Heidi stated, She would call me back when someone was available. A hour later she called informing me someone would be out shortly. When asked for a price and breakdown, Heidi stated, both are on the invoice you recieved I asked her why does she feel the need to be condescending... of course she believed she wasn't . from there I hung up.
Justin would be the ONLY reason to return. He was outstanding, very knowledgeable and friendly. He even called Heidi in an attempt to obtain an invoice. Heidi confirmed she would be emailing the invoice.
(With my card being on file, it's vital to know what my price and what that entails).
Time passes still no email. I called and spoke with Heidi (this being the third time), when asked for a break down of my total she said, there's a break down on the invoice I really don't know what you want from me. The only numbers on my invoice (outside of my personal information) is a total price. Did I pay $300 for labor, or was it for the faucet I provide?

Justin was outstanding (5 stars), but Heidi needs a refresher course in customer service and knowledge of what an invoice intels (0 stars). I WILL NOT BE A RETURNING CUSTOMER. My Plumber Heating and Cooling will have my future business.

UNLICENSED PLUMBER!  I paid this guy $1300 in total and my plumbing was worse after he worked on it.  Every time I take a shower or wash my dishes, I regret letting this guy into my home.  

I paid him to ix my shower and sink, and he did half of the job and then left the country for a month.  I paid by check, so my money was long gone by the time i realized that he wasn't coming back.  I finally got in touch with him a month later, and he still couldn't correct his mistakes.  I have to shower under a trickle of water.  My children can't take a batch in a tub full of warm water---after I paid him $1300 for shotty work!

Stay away from this guy and this company.  you will live to regret if you don't.
