Best Leak Repair in Washington DC

We had an all-house humidifier installed. I picked Reddick & Sons because they advertise both electrical and HVAC installers, and did so at a reasonable price. The person doing the quote was very knowledgeable. I was super impressed that he was able to quote both the the electrical and HVAC need. He explained what the technician would do, helped me make changes, and let me know about the drywall repairs I would need to make in advance.

The technicians who installed were also super knowledgeable and helpful. We even worked together to come up with a way he could rewire without cutting holes in the drywall. Amazing!

The installation was customized as requested.

Not convinced, here's what puts Reddick & Sons above the others: I had gotten a few quotes and scheduled someone else who was a little more than the others due to their reputation. They showed up on the scheduled day of installation and immediately pointed out they wouldn't be able to do it at the amount quoted because additional electrical work was necessary, oh and they don't do electrical so they'll have to subcontract that, and they'll need an additional quote for that and it would probably be about 50% more... I sent them home, and got a full refund from my deposit.

I called Reddick & Sons because they advertised both electrical and hvac, explained my situation. So just to be on the safe side they sent out an electrician to confirm the quote, but the the quote did not change. And the quote was the SAME as the other guy's and included the full installation - electrical too.

Mr. Mehran comes highly recommended. Of the companies I reached out to, he was both the most responsive and the best overall quote. I needed a garbage disposal replaced due to the previous one experiencing a significant leak. Mr. Mehran was very communicative with his availability, and was diligent in informing me of when he would be able to come by on the short notice that I provided (hard to live w/o a working sink!). He arrived on-time, was well organized, and professional. He didn't even ask me for a review, so this is coming because it is well-earned. Definitely give him a call or message for your plumbing requirements.

What a great experience. I have had trouble finding HVAC firms that service Inverters, and I just happen to run into a Sila Technician Billy Bollon who was in my neighborhood on another job. He was very polite and confirmed they did, so I made an appointment.

Billy showed up early, was very professional, conscientious, and even our dog loved him! He was very thorough, and explained all the charges up front so there would be no surprises. Was very pleased with the service, and happy that I found my new HVAC company.

Called because I had an issue with my AC. Before the person came I was told the charge would be $104 for the technician to come out, look at the unit and present me with an estimate before moving forward with any repairs. That seemed reasonable. A normal person would assume then that I should expect to pay $104 for the visit, plus any repairs, if I elect to do them.  

The technician (Daniel) ended up handing me a bill for over $200, because it turns out its $104 for the visit and there's another $100 and change for them to actually LOOK at the unit. That was not at all what was discussed or disclosed with the person on the phone (Warren I believe his name was).

I know these things are expensive and have no illusions about the fact that it costs money for people to come out, but they clearly (intentionally or not) omitted a very important piece of the cost (after all, under what plausible scenario would a customer want someone come out to a house and NOT look at a unit  - that's clearly the minimum amount of work someone has to do - so to quote someone $104 is just dishonest).

Daniel didn't disclose that extra $100 until after he'd looked at the unit, claiming the dispatcher should have told me about that fee. I'm happy to give them the benefit of the doubt, but its pretty shady. Daniel, for what its worth, seemed knowledgeable and honest.

-- Update: I called and left a voicemail for the firm about my disappointment. Also left a message with the main office. They didn't call back (but they called super quickly when I left a voicemail asking for service... go figure!). Seeking a 2nd opinion, I called another firm to come look today. They reached the same conclusion as Thomas in terms of whats wrong (so thats the good part), although unlike Thomas they had some low-tech suggestions to solve the issue. Unfortunately those didn't work, but I have to give that other firm credit: they attempted the cheap fix first.  As a further point of comparison, this other firms cost for visiting was $129, diagnostics included. Thomas Clarke quoted me $2,600  for a 3 ton R-22 Payne air conditioner (which are generally considered among the most economical units you can get). The other firm quoted me $1,950 and offered to take the $129 that I paid today off.

My advice: pass.

We contracted with Snell to provide our annual service for both our furnaces in the fall and ac units in the summer. We were so pleased with services last year, we renewed again this year.

When we moved into our home last summer, one of the ac units was not cooling as expected. Snell came out, diagnosed and fixed the issue all for a reasonable price. In this last visit, our technician advised the wire harness on our humidifier was going bad. He said the repair is more expensive due to labor involved in replacing and we may want to consider replacing the humidifier sometime down the road. In the meantime he showed me what to do in the event we notice more static electricity in the house - basically tug lightly on a wire to get the humidifier running again.

Their technicians are knowledgeable and professional, not to mention downright polite and friendly. They are always on time and will call if they can come out earlier than expected or if they were delayed by another job. We will definitely continue to use Snell for maintenance service and repairs as needed. Here's hoping we won't have to use them for a replacement anytime soon!

These guys are great.  I've used them on a few jobs doing home renovations.  Most recently, I had them change out all of the sink fixtures and a few other little repairs.  Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and they do a great job.  Keep up the good work.

I called Plumb because of the great reviews on FB and Yelp.

Found out the garbage disposal had a small leak under the sink last night. Although I contemplated fixing it myself but am glad I called Plumb. I was able to schedule an appoint right away. Kudos to Andy for keeping me informed throughout. While he's diagnosing the problem, I asked him to check on other plumbing issues (toilets not flushing smoothly).

He gave me a reasonable estimate for both, and completed the jobs as promised.

Overall outstanding experience for customer service and repairs. Highly recommend.

I had Drymount Air come in to provide a second estimate after another HVAC company in the DC area told me my entire furnace needed to be replaced. It turns out that my furnace was fine, and that I didn't need a total replacement, which saved me several thousands of dollars. I'm very glad that I had Drymount come out and provide a second opinion. Communication was prompt and smooth throughout.

Quick and accommodating. Recognized issues and new how to resolve them. Great value.

My family and just returned from vacation last night to discover we had no hot water. I went through the yelp find a business and Kahlid responded within 15 mins and was able to come out to the house within 2 hours! He was able to fix the issue and we are good to go. He was very Courteous and even showed me how to fix the issue if it ever arises again. I definitely recommend Get it Right Services .

As a realtor walking buyers through the home inspection process, JF Plumbing has been a valuable resource as well as a great company to provide corrective action.  Often times a small plumbing repair timely done results in significant savings.    Always available and timely, I highly recommend JF Plumbing.

I have Toto toilets that had begun to 'squeal' and leak.  I checked out the reviews on Yelp and decided to send a message.  I had a call-back very quickly.  I didn't recognize the number so once I listened to the message from Rachel I call back.  She indicated they had someone in the area (Old Town Alexandria) that afternoon and we set up an appointment between 5-7:00pm.  Chris sent a text message (with a photo for security) indicating he was en route and would arrive soon.  Was a great experience!  Everything about the process was professional and I'll definitely contact DB's again if I have any further issues.

Muhammad got back to me quickly with a quote and promptly scheduled the time to replace a bathtub and shower faucet. His price was really reasonable and he did a fantastic job. Muhammad is the first person I will call if i have any plumbing issues in the future.

Two plumbers came out quickly and were very courteous.  They pulled off their shoes when I didn't even ask. This is the second time I used them with the same quality and quick service. When they say they will come out first thing they did both times.  We will need a water heater soon and I would definitely use them.

So we went with another highly rated company on yelp originally and when they came out they gave me a quote and said that it would be another week before they could actually fix my issues. The quote was insanely high, to the point I felt like they were ripping off this little lady.

I got an estimate via Yelp from Donzelle and I asked if he could come. There were a couple more follow up questions in an effort for him to dial in the quote even more and to make sure he brought the correct fixtures.

He was able to fix the leak pretty quickly - but didn't bring the correct fixtures (my fault). He came the next day though to finish the job. Also, he fixed my loose toliet seat that I've been too lazy to fix, as well as giving me some maintance tips to keep my tankless water heater working.

I've had big time plumbers come through and I've had small companies come through. But Donelle is my go to plumber from now on. He was polite, efficient, gave me a fair price, and was a stand up guy. I will be recommending him to all my friends.

We are in the midst of remodeling an office space. We have plumbing fixtures that we were not going to use for the business at all. DJ came out gave us an estimate of the work we needed to be done. He was prompt and very professional. He gave us options on what we could do to save us money. Which was a bonus for us since we are a new business trying to get up and running and on a tight budget. DJ came out the next day and did an excellent job on the plumbing work that we needed done. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to our friends and family.

I wish I could move these guys to Texas with me!  They do a great job, were prompt and very friendly and helpful.

Best service! I discovered a crack in a cast iron drain midday, called a few plumbers based on reviews, and chose Opata Plumbing Services. I made a great choice. Mathugh was professional, skilled, responsive, courteous, and overall an upstanding person. He replaced the cracked pipe that same day. To his credit, Mathugh arrived after 6 pm and had a relatively big job fixed in a few hours. Mind blown. I was so impressed with the service that I hired Opata Plumbing Services on the spot for another project. I found my forever plumber - if I need plumbing services, I'll call Mathugh!

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!

If you are looking for an honest, skilled plumber, look no further! Jorge at DrainWorks is the one to call!

I contacted Jorge from DrainWorks Plumbing and Heating after seeing positive reviews on Yelp. We had two old toilets that were beyond repair. Jorge came out today with two new toilets and installed the first toilet without incident. Upon examining the flange for the second toilet, he noted that that flange was turned 90º and needed repair. Jorge went to get a flange repair kit and spent a lot of time with a difficult installation prior to putting in the toilet.

The installation was beyond professional. The toilets were not cheap $80 toilets from Home Depot. Jorge made sure to upgrade our toilets. The toilets are water savers (as are all new toilets), but these toilets have a wider flapper which creates a stronger flush. AND THE TOILET SEAT and LID are self-closing (no more toilet seat bangs in the middle of the night; and with a finger tap on the toilet lid, my kittens will not be able to drink from the toilet if we forget to lower the lid.)

When he was preparing to leave, Jorge noticed that the drain in the bathroom was slow. He asked me if I wanted him to look at it. He snaked the drain and re-assembled the drain under the sink. Now all of the bathroom sinks in the house are free-flowing! I am impressed that Jorge made himself available to take care of this additional problem at a reasonable rate.

Jorge is very customer-oriented, and his prices are quite fair. He explains everything clearly and concisely. He makes the time to address customer questions and concerns. I felt that I was a very special client. I am sure that all of his clients feel well-taken care of! We have asked him to get back with quotes for future projects. We have found our plumber!
