Had a problem with a Rheem water heater.  Called another vendor, supposedly certified to work on Rheem water heaters, but they were not able to solve the problem and get to the bottom of the issue.

Asked Drain Works to take a look at the water heater.  The plumber took his time, systematically worked through the system, and found an extremely small filter that was clogged.  After cleaning this out, the water heater (and I) were very happy again.

Had Drain Works do work previously, and found they had the same methodical, careful, and systematic approach that they used on the water heater.  For any issues in the future - will definitely call them again.

Extraordinary!!  We had a tricky project -- prep'ing the plumbing on a yacht for a new washing machine.   Even though he saw some non-standard plumbing, Matt used his experience and creativity to save the day.  It was more involved than he expected, but he just identified the problems and solved them.  What a great attitude ... he never doubted that he could work things out.  We recommend highly Opata Plumbing.

Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done.  They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

Great experience hiring Tony to fix a broken pipe that was flooding my crawlspace.  He was able to quickly diagnose the problem and fit the complicated repair into his busy schedule.  Overall, I was very pleased with his services and I appreciated how honest and easy he was to deal with.  I will not hesitate to use him again.

After: picture was of bathroom being remodeled. Friendly workers, he responded to messages and contacts quickly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Our AC unit was making noise.  Justin came out to look at it.  He told us that the compressor was going bad and that we might prolong the unit life by adding a hard start unit to the system.  This took him less than a half hour to install.  We were charged almost $500, as we also bought a one year service plan with Snell to save on the repair.

Thinking we were going to have to replace our unit, we called a few other companies that were listed in the Washington Consumer Checkbook to give us estimates.  One of them told us that not only is our compressor fine, but the hard start unit that Snell installed wasn't doing anything for our unit and that the part cost less than $50.  So, needless to say, we were ripped off on a part that was overpriced to the point of being criminal.

This is not the first time Snell has done this to our family.  Several years ago they pulled this trick. We posted a bad review on Angie's List and they gave us a full refund so that we would remove the posting.  At the time, we thought they were doing this as a course of being a good business.  Now we know, that wasn't the case.  I am sure plenty of bad reviews have been pulled from Angie's List, and probably Yelp, using the same tactics.

I know they are not the only ones in the industry that do this, as another company advised me that this is all part of the game. I do appreciate that there are some honest companies out there, and that we found one.  I will not be posting a good review for them, out of respect for their privacy.

$500 for a $50 part.  How do they sleep at night?

Very prompt and quick repair. Quote received before repair performed. Explained why it happened and what needed to be done to fix it. Also recommended a few things in the basement, like insulating the ductwork prior to sheetrock. Very nice crew. :)

We needed our water heater replaced, so I reached out to Champion on Yelp. They were super responsive and even got on the phone with me to answer some questions I had. Gus was amazingly helpful, straightforward, and communicative. We got our water heater replaced in a day at a very fair price, and what was initially a stressful experience turned into a simple process.

Wayne and Matt were kind, answered questions, explained what they needed to do to solve the problem. They worked well and efficiently. This is my plumbing company for life. Even the lady who answered the phone was very nice. I am so happy to have found a plumbing company that I can depend on.

All I have to say is that Ramon saved my marriage!! My wonderful husband can't change a light bulb (ok, maybe it's a tiny exaggeration) so Ramon is more than a handyman, he became part of our family, helping us with every single work at our new house just as he did at our former house. He is very knowledgeable, professional and he does everything with a big smile and a can do attitude. We are fortunate to have met him!

Thorough. Honest. Reliable.
I found this company on Yelp after all the other great reviews and they did not let me down.  My home warranty service sent out another plumbing company that was out to pocket a quick service fee, and upcharge me on the side.  Unlike those ne'er-do-wells, Bill was able to explain the problem to me in laymen's terms, worked hard at getting the problems resolved, treated my home with great care making sure everything was cleaned up, nothing was tracked in the house, and nothing was unnecessarily poured into the grass.  He even made suggestions where I could save money, and who doesn't like that? I've saved his number in my phone, he's officially my go-to-guy!

Raciel is a genuinely good person.  I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him.  He fixed my leaking kitchen sink drain in about a minute and gave me some excellent advice on a couple other issues.  He is knowledgeable and professional.  I highly recommend him.

Our daughter was rushed to the emergency room and we had to go babysit out 21 month old granddaughter for a few days. Their kitchen sink was leaking and the water was turned off. She is a teacher and money is tight so they had not fixed it. My wife and I could not live without water in the sink so we called our old friend Van the Plumber who rushed out to help us. It turned out we needed a new faucet and Van changed his schedule around to come back a second time to install the new faucet.
He is so good, so responsive and so kind. I could never think of having another plumber touch any of our plumbing needs. Give him a try and you will feel the same way.

I got Sean's phone number from another plumber that could not respond to my emergency, Sean answered the phone and was able to come to my business the next day at the time he said he would. He took a look at the situation and got the problem fixed quickly. There was one mishap when his snake cracked the tank cover of the toilet but he ordered and delivered a replacement two days later. I highly recommend Sean and No Limit Plumbing.

I was looking around for plumbers in the area to stop our shower/tub from dripping water and found Elliot. He responded immediately after I requested a quote and was very informative and helpful. He was able to come the next morning (which was amazing) and the quote that he gave me was very reasonably priced too.

He came the next morning and started fixing our shower/tub by replacing our cartridge. There was an unforeseen circumstance while he was fixing it but he was able to resolve the issue with no problem. Worked hard and diligently the whole time. Super nice and friendly too!

Our shower/tub no longer drips! Thank you so much!!

HIGHLY recommend DMV Plumbing & Waterproofing and will reach out to him again for any of my plumbing needs.

Mahon plumbing is excellent we had a great experience
Dealing with a plumbing emergency on a Sunday night
A friend recommended to call them we did on Monday morning and Chris was very helpful and had someone out a few hours later
Tim who came out to the house was very professional and did an excellent job
We will use Mahon for all our plumbing repairs in the future as will other family members
Definitely recommend

The office employees are not familiar with HVAC terms so they assure me they were familiar with ERVs and works on them all the time...when the tech came out he told me he never worked on one but he assured me they'd fix it...
After 2 days I called again to get the estimate and I was told that they were working on it...
After 4 days I called again and they told me they were working on it...
After a week I called and I was told the tech was in vacation so I had to wait... WAIT WHAT?!?
I was waiting and waiting and then after 2 weeks I was told they were not interested in the job...
Another HVAC company that prefers changing filters/belts and doesn't know how to actually fix problems.

UPDATE: Patricia from Clover replied to my review stating that I may be confusing them with another company. The technician I dealt with was Joshua Pickett. By blaming the customer you're just going to make it worse.
