Best Businesses in Maryland

Great quick service even during weekends. A technician was really professional and friendly.

I have used this company twice in the last several months. Mike was great to deal with and always followed up. Kenny has done the work both times for me. Very professional, courteous and leaves clean work area.  Arrived at designated time and did a fantastic job. Up front pricing. Would recommend !!!

Got connected to Nick at 9:30 am via a third party staffing site. He said he'd be at my home at 10:30 am but he arrived at 10:15 am. Completed the work promptly - drain cleaning and fixing pipe plumbing and so far, it's been completed correctly. I'd recommend Nick for your plumbing needs.

Great experience from the first phone call.  I spoke with a real person, who could confirm the availability of the plumber and a ball-park cost of the job. Plumber arrived as scheduled, completed work as anticipated.
Followup communications were efficient and professional.
Everything I want in a plumber - good communication, good work product, predictable cost.
Will use again.

Quick to schedule and do good work. Labor/Service charge is the highest around and unpredictable. Seriously, not even 15 minutes of work, non emergency call, during a weekday, less than a mile from their office... $170 labor charge! I'm baffled. Previous calls have been reasonable and even insightful as once they even showed me where to get an old school piece and how to do some work myself. This last one has me at a loss for words though.

TL Back Plumbing has come to my rescue twice now on short notice. Always professional, clean and affordable. Make sure to contact them for all your plumbing needs.

Had a main drain backup.  The Sewer Slayer crew came out very quickly (less than a few hours), and were able to clear the drain.

They were extremely pleasant to deal with, and pointed to the source of the issue with the drain.  This was several weeks ago, and the drain has stayed clear since.

If their services are ever needed (hopefully I won't anytime soon), I will call these folks again.

I have used Best Mechanical, but never again. They are not reasonable in terms of price, parts have been faulty and I question their workmanship. On the last job, when I called them to fix a leak in a sewer ejector that they installed about 3 years ago, they charged me $275 for about 1/2 hour's time.  I wasn't happy that the apparatus was already leaking, but to charge what equates to $550/hour is outrageous. I contacted an owner to complain about the bill, but was never able to reach him.  I left 3-4 voice messages and I sent an email.  I would not recommend using them.

We used D W Bahr to replace our old water heater.  They were able to provide service within a reasonable time, the folks that performed the labor were pleasant and friendly.  The job was completed in short order and instructions on care and maintenance were also offered.  No changes in prices or no trying to up sell me.  From beginning to end it was as pleasant as could be when faced with an unexpected event.  I couldn't be happier.  I would definitely recommend.

DO NOT USE! They replaced the wax ring on one of my toilets. Upon replacing the toilet, the bolts in the tank began to leak all over my hardwood floors. I called the next day to tell them my floors were now damaged because of the leak. They did not take responsibility for the damage saying We didn't replace the bolts on the toilet. Well if you remove a toilet from the floor and put it back don't you think there is a possibility that it will jar the tank enough to start a leak. It really could have been a simple matter but their refusal to take responsibility for their mistake is mind-boggling.

Response time was good. Two other plumbers were giving next day as a response time.
Cost was ridiculous at $800 to come out and run a snake for a 90 minute job.
Usually go to Home Depot and do it myself for under $100. Circumstances at the time didn't warrant that.
Although they got the job done effectively would not use again.

While the plumber was on time and was wearing a mask I was charged almost $700 to snake my front lawn drain.  While that was discouraging, if it had worked I would have been okay with it.  As soon as the plumber left I flushed the toilet and it overflowed all over the bathroom floor.  I had to call another plumber in to snake it and after he did it, it worked fine. When I called Catons to complain they said since the second plumber did the work on my drain in the first place (they did - years ago) they were not responsible.  How can you not be responsible for snaking a drain incorrectly, charging huge amounts of money, have the toilet overflow as soon as the plumber leaves and not even offer a refund of sorts? I paid to have a drain snaked and  that was never done correctly and I had to pay the price out of my pocket and by cleaning up a bathroom mess.

This company is a big scam. I should not have trusted Jeffrey Muncey and the owner. I paid for a project that was not completed.

Jeff  Muncey locked my property and ran away with the keys without completing the project. I had to buy a new lock and pay a locksmith for a new installation.  I paid upfront $750 to Valley View Handyman Services for nothing. They are not responding to phone calls or texts. This was a total nightmare but I'll make sure that justice will be served.

I have more details but hope this summary warns others so they can avoid similar cons.
