Best Businesses in Washington, DC

We have utilized Hector and his team for a number of projects in our home to include a new bathroom, drywall in our kitchen (ceilings and walls), crown molding, electrical, new interior doors and wood flooring. His prices are very reasonable compared to a lot of companies we had called and his team is very professional and does really great work. We referred him to a friend of ours who needed work done on his rental property and Hector and his team did a great job for them as well. I highly recommend them for any home project you may have.

Extremely professional, prompt, courteous and well priced. I called a bunch of other companies and JA was the quickest to return my call, give me a quote and schedule service. I will be using them for all my projects!

Love this company. They have fixed plumbing issues and installed the natural gas line in my house. They are very polite and explain the process. No hidden costs.

I found Eric to be very knowledgeable about the work that I needed. He explains things very well, and gives you options on how you want to approach a job if there is more than one way to do so. He is very efficient and arrived promptly and understood the problems I had immediately. He is very good about explaining the cost of the job, which I found reasonable. His work is excellent and he took the time to show me how things worked after the job was done. I highly recommend him, and I would be pleased to have him return for any other work that I might need to have done.

Kitchen drain was clogged and copper piping in basement had a slow leak so I decided to Yelp Plumbing service in the area. Came across Abe's Plumbing due to a  lot of reviews and 5 star rating. Called him and Abe answered right away and was able to fit me in that day. Abe would call you and gives you a heads up when he's on his way or if he's running late. Abe is very friendly and goes right to the point and gets the job done with efficiency but not sacrifice quality. My 2 year old son also enjoyed his company and was looking for him when he left. His 5 star rating met my expectations and I will definitely use his service in the future as I have lots of updating to do in the house. Thanks Abe!

Recently had James, with Marines Plumbing, come out to our home. James was thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and took his time explaining information. The price was reasonable and highly recommend checking with Marines Plumbing before starting anywhere else.

In addition, Krissy (spelling?) was kind and went the extra mile during our conversations.

From start to finish, positive experience with the company and will be utilizing in the future!

Bob came within 30 minutes of my call, diagnosed the issue without even coming in the house, replaced the bad capacitor, and AC is fixed. I appreciate the quick problem resolution.

Axel was punctual and answered all my questions. He did a great job installing my shower. This is the person you'll want to have as your plumber. Pricing was fair & I was very pleased with $50 military discount as well. I will definitely be hiring him for future plumbing needs.

Our AC stopped working in the middle of the night, and when I called at opening the next morning they promised to send somebody by the afternoon. The work took about an hour and our AC was back up and running! (In 90+ degree heat, too). I was so happy with the tech and the turnaround time that I scheduled a follow up coil cleaning for the following week. Very grateful for their help!

We were interested in getting a new sump pump and battery backup prior to tropical storm Ida making its way through the area- Trade Pros responded quickly and were able to accommodate us with a top of the line pump and back-up the next day! We also asked Jimbo to check out our water heater - which we were then able to get replaced the same week as well- great service from Trade Pros!  Will use them again for future jobs!

Milton gave us a reasonable quote and was able to come do the work very quickly, even though it was not urgent work (besides us trying to finish the project before we had a baby!). They were professional throughout and flexible when we had to change the schedule. I appreciated that the team wore shoe covers in our house and cleaned up thoroughly after they were done. Also talked through an optional part of the project, not pressuring us at all to include it in the scope of work. Overall excellent experience - really nice to work with! We will definitely be going back to them for our future plumbing needs!!

Needed an assessment of my sump pump and exterior drain system.

Crown was able to come out the next day to assess, and provide me with options.   Once I made a decision, they were able to again visit my home within 24 hours to complete the sump replacement work.

The tech did a great job, replaced the pump and cleaned the sump chamber.  He cleaned up the area and reviewed all specifics with me.  Overall great experience at a fair price, would recommend!

While they did a great job on the first repair, we asked them to come back to fix our dishwasher and they ended up breaking it worse. They need to stick with what they're good at.

Was quick, courteous, explained what he was going to do and why he was going to do it. My only gripe was that I knew exactly where the issue was and what the issue was, but didn't have a snake to clear the pipe. The charge for just getting the drain snaked seemed excessive.

Received an estimate for repairing and replacing outside drain by breaking concrete and repairing pipe up to 5ft into the home as needed. Estimate also including back-filling with concrete up to the previous level. I authorized the ESTIMATE OF SERVICE and the credit card was charged by the vendor 3 days before the work was scheduled and almost a full week before it was actually performed due to rain. After contacting vendor 2 days after the rains to obtain a schedule for the repair, I was advised that it would be the next day but the time estimate didn't seem certain. After having someone wait all day for the service, I advised the vendor that if repair wasn't performed by the rescheduled date, a new plumber would be contacted.  

The work was done on the rescheduled date after 5pm.  The actual repair required only replacing outside drain and 6-12 inches of pipe. SIGNIFICANTLY less work than estimated.  When I inquired as to a discount for the service that was performed, I was advised that there are no discounts because the scope of work was with the anticipation of having to go further.  I advised the vendor that the auto repairman doesn't charge me for what he could have done when the work turns out to be something different, and that I was disappointed, but learned a lesson.   To that I received no response.  Had I been there to monitor the work, I would have asked about revising the estimate and had I known there would be no change in the amount, I would have had them dig out and replace the full 5 feet of pipe to get my money's worth.

I advised the person who recommended this vendor that I was disappointed and would never use or recommend them for future work. She indicated that she had never received a negative response from any recommendation and I told her that I guess someone had to be the 1st.

The shame is that had the work been more than estimated, you can guarantee the vendor would have required additional payment. But since the service was less, I as the customer, am SOL. Sadly, not even the 10% discount from the vendors website was offered as a concession.

I would love to retain business cards and request or recommend repeat business by the service providers I've used, but after having dealt with 5 contractors in 5 years. I have yet to find 1 who doesn't do sloppy work or sloppy business.

This is my review. Take it for what it's worth.

3 stars because the plumber was very professional and did a good job. Unlike most people in this industry where it takes 3 tries to get someone to do it right. So while he did it right the price is huge.  You can research and see the huge markup they charge which in a bad economy seems unjustified.  But he did do the job right.  If you are on a budget keep looking because they are expensive.  3 stars for the good work, minus 2 for the high cost.

I was notified on June 22, 2023 by American Home Shield that one of their trusted (they are not accredited with the BBB) contractors (METROPOLITAN PLUMBING AND SEWER LLC) would be fixing my plumbing issues and after I told them exactly what the issue was they came out on June 27th after having to reschedule for the repair. They did not complete the repair and July 6th the repair is still not complete. I cannot get anyone on the phone and I was guaranteed a completion on June 28 and I have already paid. This company and my home warranty company have been terrible and all I want is for someone to allow me to find my own contractors to do the work at this point and reimbursed as this has been outstanding for weeks. The customer service of both companies has been atrocious!

I used them to replace the polybutylene supply line from the street to my house. The plumbing work itself was fine. But they had trouble running the new pipe so had to dig up part of the yard. No big deal.

But nearly a month after the work, they haven't cleaned up the yard as promised. Also, when they redid a section of the sidewalk, they didn't re-bury a cable very well. I called a week ago and they apologized on the phone and said they would forward it to the site foreman immediately, but still nothing. My yard is a mess.

Plumbing work was 4-stars, but clean-up gets one star.

*** UPDATE ***

It took two more phone calls but eventually they did send a crew to clean up the dirt pile, level it out, and reseeded the dirt spot. They also rebutted the cables. It's nice work after bugging them to take care of it. I'm glad it's finished.
