Best Sump Pump Installation in Washington DC
I had my water heater replaced after 12 years, get all the copper pipes cleaned up, replaced the rusting pressure reducer and put in a mixing valve with Reddick & Sons. 5 stars and happy with the results.
I had received quotes from a handful of companies. I will say Reddick & Sons wasn't the cheapest but it's not a bad thing if you want your project done right the first time. The cheapest companies' free consultation left me wondering if it'll be done properly. At the end, it came down to two choices with whom I was comfortable proceeding with. R&S was more expensive but had many great reviews. The other was cheaper but not a lot of reviews. I picked R&S eventually because they were willing to work with me on the price. It wasn't an exact match but I was happy with the price after looking at a few similar quotes.
I was a little surprised they didn't recommend a mixing valve. I think they are trying not to oversell a lot of items but from the stuff I'd been reading, you'd want a mixing valve so I asked for one. Without a mixing valve, your tank temp will be at 110'C and bacteria can still grow at the temp. If you have a mixing valve, you can set the tank temp to 140'C to kill off all bacteria and use the valve to tone it down to 110'C so it's safe for you. I'm no expert but that makes sense to me so I had a mixing valve installed.
The project took about 3-4 hours total. It didn't feel right the guy was carrying the huge tank with a cart by himself so I helped him at the stairs. The work was done very professionally. He wore slip on covers for his shoes inside the house and cleaned up all the mess afterward. The plumbing work is very clean and is a lot prettier than before. Everything is up to code as well (they installed drain pan and overflow tank). I highly recommend them. Don't cheap out on the important stuff but also have a few quotes ready so you aren't overpaying by a lot. Good luck with your project!

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.

Leo and his team are the ultimate professionals. They arrive on time, provide accurate quotes, perform outstanding service, and leave the system better than it was. You won't be disappointed.

After turning our heat on for the first time this year, we noticed water dripping out of the bottom of our furnace. I reached out to a few HVAC providers on a Saturday night around 5:00 PM to get some estimates. Sean responses roughly 10 minutes later and after a few clarifying questions, said he could be there the next day between 4 and 7. His fee for a weekend consult was only $10 more than a weekday consult. The next day, he called me at 3 to say he was done early with another job and wanted to know if he could come by before our window. He was very polite and professional and identified the relatively easy fix after about 15 minutes, and even showed us how to fix it ourselves in the future. I was thrilled to work with him and will certainly reach out to him again for any HVAC needs.

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

I reached out to help resolve an issue with my pipes making a bizarre hissing noise. Not only did they come out within the hour to help with the repair, but also was very detailed with what was going on and very reasonably priced. I was able to get everything fixed including a leak on the same day. I will definitely be reaching out and using them for all my plumbing needs.

Our system hadn't been working for several weeks, and as soon as my husband called - they were able to come out within two business days for repair. They communicated prior to the appointment and when Vince showed up at our door - I knew we were in good hands. He was professional, kind and explained the process to us (me in person/my husband on the phone.)
We're happy with the repairs and would love to recommend Sila (and, Vince!) to our friends.

For nearly 25 years, this plumber has been my first choice. Their response is fast, courteous, and the quality of workmanship excellent at reasonable prices. The owner, John, has personally supervised work at my house on several occasions. I highly recommend them.

The quality of the work was fine, but they are pretty frigging expensive, and I think you could get the same quality service for less elsewhere. I called three places for a simple job-one place gave me a firm bid of $275, one gave me a ballpark bid of about $250. DB's would not give me a ballpark estimate, but I decided to give them a try anyway. My mistake. They wanted close to $400 for the job. I got them to drop the price by about $50 and went for it because the guy was there, but still felt the price was too high. They offer a service plan (which I think was about $400 a year) which entitles you to a discount, which makes me think their initial pricing is intended to either get you to sign up for the service plan or to subsidize their service plan. They also have a low initial estimate cost, but people shouldn't be fooled by that if their repair costs are excessive.

We use Heil Plumbing for all our plumbing needs. We've used them for years. We don't bother getting other estimates, because Heil Plumbing is honest and competent. You can rest assured that they will do the work well and not let you down. I would strongly suggest that you call them first and have them do your plumbing work for you.

I had an issue with my garbage disposal. After speaking with District Capital. He diagnosed my problem and gave me instructions to fix it myself over the phone, which worked. He offered to come out and take a look if I was not able to get it working. He certainly could have came over and made $300 but he did not. Unbelievable integrity. I will certainly recommend DISTRICT CAPITAL. Thank you

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 reached out to get under sink repairs. I got a quick response. They were flexible with my schedule and limited availability and were even able to come after work to complete the repairs. They did better than I was expecting and the price was reasonable.

Update: 5/15/20 It was just confirmed by another plumber that Opata plumbers were 100% correct in locating the leak. This saved us over $1500. and now even better my homeowners assoc. is fully responsible for the repairs in my home....

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!

Drain Works serviced our gas fireplace is an exceptional manner. We were very impressed with professionalism and attention to detail. Would definitely recommend the company.

Within 24 hours I had a bathtub faucet break AND my boiler died. I called Thos E Clark because I'd had a representative out a few weeks earlier to talk through potential bathroom remodels (George) and thought the service was good without being overly pushy.
I thought Thos E Clark really delivered good service. First, they split the service charge ($69) between the plumber and the boiler guys, which was appreciated. Second, the President himself (Mike Hartman) got involved when the cause of the boiler breakdown was elusive. He knew I was frustrated that we didn't exactly figure out what was going on (we think the pipes froze because I'd had the temp down when I was out of town, but we don't know if that was the cause or the result of the failure) and he really did his best to take on the matter personally. He also offered a discount on some follow up maintenance recommended by the technician AND he called a week later to check in and make sure everything was okay. While we didn't 100% figure out the problem (apparently boilers are an art not a science), I think Thos E Clark did everything that they could and delivered caring customer service. I have two bathrooms to remodel in the near future and will definitely give them a call for a bid.

Fixed the problem and was up-front and straight forward with regards to the problem. About a week later now the system is still working without issue. The technician was very thoughtful in addition to knowledgeable. He answered my questions directly and didn't treat me like I was getting in the way. Excellent customer service from the tech: I noticed that he (1) locked the basement walkout door which he used for fast access to get to his truck, and (2) came back a couple minutes after he left to remind me that he had left the thermostat off and that I should turn it back on (I had spotted it already but the fact that he came back to tell me in person meant that he wasn't just in a rush to get to the next appointment to finish his day early, and that he wanted everything done exactly right).
Customer service over the phone was very friendly/courteous. Ended up signing on with their yearly inspection program as it was comparable to ones we had done in the past and had yet to do that for our new home.

Fantastic small business. My mom found this company online and after a little research, I decided to try them out. I was not dissatisfied at all. Remedied my situation, made sure they cleaned up after themselves, gave me some feedback one what I should od next and there was no price gouging. Melissa was fantastic and her Husband, Kirk and son did fantastic work. I will recommend them to everyone I know. And if any future problems arise, I will be sure to call them first!

Jason was the technician. He was able to solve our noisy running toilet issue quickly and thoroughly. He also did a great job explaining what he was fixing. It was an issue that a prior plumber from another company failed to resolve. It also came with a 3 year warranty on the work. Highly recommend.
