We recently bought a new home and our home inspector said our system was in good order, but aging. Since we weren't sure what aging meant in relation to longevity and we were not sure if the previous tenants kept up with seasonal inspections or routine repair, we started looking for an HVAC specialist to take a look at our systems and put the home inspectors report in perspective.

I called Spann Mechanical and Michael Spann, Jr came out within the week. He was right on time and got right to work checking everything out. Since he knew I was a new homeowner as well, he took his time to explain what he was looking at and for, while also answering all my questions. I feel that he was up front and honest about the condition of our systems and did not try to oversell the equipment.

I would use him again and found Spann Mechanical to be professional and knowledgeable.

Jeff came out real quickly to look at our situation.  We wanted a monster AC window unit replaced.  He was able to change it quickly and at a very reasonable price.  And he took away the old unit.

Love these guys! I have actually used them for plumbing and HVAC issues.  Very professional, most issues have been same day to next day turn-around. Reasonably priced and most importantly; fixed correctly the first time.

I bought a foreclosed condo that was empty for many years. In order to get the appraisal I had to pay to get the water turned on. The heat works with hot water. When the system was filled there were a few leaks. They were taken care of and the kitchen faucet replaced. They did a good job but I was surprised at the amount of the bill. More than I expected, just over 4 figures before I owned the condo. I have had to have another plumber come in after I moved in. He depressurized the system, fixed the leak and depressurized it. The bill was 1/5.

What a great company . I called Action Plumbing yesterday and spoke to Jerry and explained my issue and 20 minutes later Jerry showed up accessed the issues and fixed the toilet . Not only was he extremely kind and prompt but they were very fair on the price . I intend on using this company next time I have a issue . If you are experiencing a plumbing issue I highly recommend using Action Plumbing !

Stand-up company. Vendor was contracted through our warranty, and was prompt, honest, professional with diagnosis and installation. Had an issue with our garbage disposal and Ricky took care of the rest. Planning to use Double R for any other plumbing issues that may arise.

Great job at a fair price replacing my hot water heater.

My water heater went out , I called BST , they gave me a Very good estimate and job was perfectly done in less than 24 hours . They called a day after to follow up and also after followed up with me in a week. They have  my business for life as long as I live in md

I called around 9 am on a Monday morning about a few plumbing issues.  Someone was able to meet me at 10:30 am.  They were very professional.  They were able to fix my issue right on site and the price was very reasonable.   I would definitely call them again if I had another plumbing issue.

I hired this company to help me with post-inspection repairs (for the sale of my home in Baltimore). It was important for me to have all required repairs done and documented well before settlement date. Rob, the project manager, was amazing in updating me with the progress of the work.  They completed the work on time (repairing/repainting of ceiling, structural reinforcement of the home- two very involved projects). They were also very honest in their pricing. I would HIGHLY recommend them for anyone in need of a licensed contractor.

Utilized Jack's plumbing via 2-10 home warranty and they were great. Professional communication via text, easy billing, good follow up. They replaced a garbage disposal. Would use them again.

I have used these guys several times now and really like them.  I don't feel like they are scamming me like the others.  

I have used them to replace a hot water pipe to my kitchen sink, my main water line and to install a new hose bib on the side of my house.  We had a couple problems with the hose bib but they sent someone out as soon as I called to fix the problem.  Everything works great and customer service has been wonderful.  

No hidden fees, price was based on an hourly rate unlike Len the Plumber.  They will give you a free estimate before any work is done too.

Love these guys!

My worst $9,000.00 mistake. They never pulled a permit and left 3 foot of bad pipe that would have caused me issues latter on. Had to hire another contractor to fix everything. The owner sent an insulting apology letter that they copied and past from another website. Never finished the job. It was obviously to big for them to handle. Countless other issues too many to list. They will not do another  job in this neighborhood. God will get justice in the end.

I have a water heater installed by Atlantic Mechanical that is still under warranty.  The heater is no longer providing hot water.  I have called them about the issue, at least 8 times this week.  It took 2 days for them to call back and and when they did, I was told they were booked up this week, but they would work to get me in next week. So far they have not responded to 3 calls I have made to secure the date for the tech to come next week. They advertise that the are Reliable, Responsive and Respectful on their site, so much for Responsive and now I'm starting to feel like they aren't Respectful either.

Metcalf Plumbing Service is your go to people to help fix any plumbing issues! We have used Metcalf many times before, but more recently our hot water heater began to leak (It had a long life and it was about time to change it). Metcalf sent their professionals out to evaluate the situation the same day and replaced / updated our hot water heater / system. I often DIY many home projects, however I am so glad I left this job to the professionals. Phenomenal workmanship at a very reasonable price. I thank all of the workers who came out and worked on the hot water heater and left us feeling we received a great deal!
Thank you again!

Here's what happened, I'll let you decide if these guys are all right or not.

I had an issue with my kitchen sink draining. I would run the disposal (the motor was working), water would go down the drain, when I'd turn it off, most of the water would shoot back up. Now, I'm not a plumber, so I tried a plunger, didn't work, did some looking online, and decided to call these guys. They get good reviews on Google.

After some wrangling with the dispatcher, I managed to get him to send someone that day. That's pretty good, that's part of why they get 2 stars. There is a $45 call charge that will get waived if you have them do some work. They told me that up front. It's pretty standard practice, like it or not.

The plumber came, looked at it, went to his truck, and came back with two options: $187 to remove and clean the trap, $315 to snake the line. These prices seemed high to me, but as all plumbers do, they've got you $45 in and you need the sink. So I said ok. Literally 5 minutes later, the trap is off and was not the problem.

So, out come the snakes and the snake machine. He runs it, draws it back out, re-connects everything. Runs the water. Not fixed. Same exact symptoms. So, the snake goes back in, and this time -- here comes the MAIN REASON they get TWO STARS -- he decides to run water directly into the line to save himself the trouble of connecting everything back up. It's clear. Connects the trap back to the disposal. NOT CLEAR. Same symptoms.

IF HE HAD DONE THIS 5 MINUTE DIAGNOSTIC AFTER REMOVING THE TRAP AND BEFORE RUNNING THE SNAKE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO BOTHER WITH THE SNAKE AND SAVED ME SOME MONEY AND BOTH OF US AN HOUR OR SO.

He tells me that the disposal needs to be replaced, comes back with $450 to install the same type of disposal or nearly $700 to install a better one. No option to FIX THIS ONE. The motor is still working. I didn't even bother to ask. In the time it took for him to write the quote, I had done enough research to decide to buy a very nice disposal for $175 and take an hour to do it myself. Lesson learned. $315 poorer and the drain still not clear.

That night I twiddled the jam buster and pulsed the disposal a few times, same the following day after ordering a new disposal from Amazon. By midday  everything was draining fine. THE OLD DISPOSAL IS STILL IN THERE AND WORKING, thank you very much.

I realize that some people will think/say maybe there was a restriction in the line that he fixed and for some weird reason the disposal was also clogged but that got better as a result of him snaking the line. I'd say there is some miniscule chance that is true. It is true, I'm not a plumber, but after observing, it seems pretty obvious that if your goal was fixing problems efficiently, (1) you would try to rule out a jam in the disposal by testing the line for drainage AFTER CHECKING THE TRAP and (2) you would see if you could remove a jam/clog from the disposal BEFORE RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT.

I give them 2 stars because the fit me in late in the day on a Friday and because the plumber was nice enough while he was there.

The worst plumbers in Baltimore. Run, do not walk. I paid more than twice what I should have for a hot water heater that was faulty and installed dangerously. We ended up with a gas leak forcing us to evacuate our house. They also put in a new stand pipe, during which our washer hose was disconnected and, which promptly flooded our basement. We've had to have everything they did redone. Please learn from our mistake.
