Best Toilet Repair in Washington DC
I had great experience with Reddick & Sons when I had them to replace my water heater tank. I searched and talked several companies, and Reddick give me the best estimate and explained everything. Since my work schedule is very limited to schedule for the service, they were very flexible and accommodated me the earlier date. It was pleasant to communicate with e-mail and the phone. A few days after I got new water heater tank, I had some questions about water pressure and temperature setting, he came to my house again and showed me what I need to do that situation without charging a fee. Very kind and honest people. I will call them again if I need plumbers/ electrician.

They were quick to respond via messages on Yelp and I was able to set up an appointment within a few days. The day of the appointment he arrived on time, and was courteous.

I contacted SILA to provide routine maintenance on our HVAC system. The staff was prompt in responding to my inquiry, flexible regarding scheduling, and very communicative about the timing of the technician's arrival.
I can't say enough about the overwhelmingly positive experience that I had with the technician, Billy. He was extremely professional and thorough, with a wealth of experience and expertise. In addition, he was friendly, engaging, and patient in explaining the purpose of each maintenance procedure. In short, he surpassed my expectations! I am so appreciative of time and care that he dedicated to working with us. I will absolutely be requesting him for our next HVAC service.

Needed repair on my tankless hotwater boiler combo. No hot water. The first technician that came out didn't know how to service this type of unit (even though I told them it was a tankless unit).
The second one knew how and isolated problem (new part needed that had to be overnighted). That cost me $300.
Once part arrived, the third guy replaced it. That cost me $700. But, while the unit was fixed, the hot water wasn't getting hot enough and not hot at all in kitchen and bathroom faucets. The technician suspected a new mixing valve was needed. The quote to repair that was ....wait for it....$1,400! Said it would take 5 - 6 hours to complete. I said NO THANKS and called my regular plumber (who unfortunately couldn't do the other work because he doesn't service tankless boiler/hot water units). He bought new mixing value and replaced it in ...wait for it....ONE HOUR. Total cost: $521.97. NEVER AGAIN will I call Thomas E Clark. Suggest you don't either.

Are these people Irish Travellers?
Like the review from Narae K. and Doug T., I had the same experience. Same vastly over inflated quote for a rare and hard to get gas valve for a common furnace. Quoted me $795 for the valve and the fix BUT I could get the $99 diagnosis charge credited against the price of, you guessed it, a beautiful, brand new furnace! That's right, Bob, if you spend $3300 on a new furnace we'll toss in the warning sticker for the front cover FREE!
What a joke. Northern Virginia is chock full of these scams. Do yourself a favor and vote with your dollar to put them out of business.
Re Rob C's comment about the fake review: I'm a non-resident landlord. I live in California and own a townhouse in the Cascades. If anything, my review should be instructive. Not being local and often having to do business over the phone, I've had to deal with more than my share of scam artists trying to take advantage because I'm not there to call them out on their deceptive practices. Due to my situation, it's really a true test of honesty for a business.

We recently had a well line leaking, and would like to give a shout out to Tim, Wayne, BJ, and the crew for the great service and attention to details. The work required a bobcat in the yard and they did a great job keeping disruption to a minimum. We had something to be addressed after the initial work was complete, and Bj and Wayne came out in the excessive heat to address the issue. Thank you again for GREAT customer service! Will definitely use again.

Responsive. Reliable. Experienced staff. Billy Rossbach did outstanding job at my rental property. Pleased to have found Plumbing Pros for a go-to techs.

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 .

We urgently needed our garbage disposal replaced. They bought it, removed the broken one and replaced it with the new one. The worker put down a tarp and kept everything very clean and dry. The price was fair for what they did.

These guys are amazing, courteous and explain their process from start to finish.
Rachael was prompt in making an appointment for a time that worked for me and let me know I'd be receiving an email confirming the appointment, as well as a picture of who my technician would be.
Tommy arrived and promptly addressed who he was and the company he was with. He was friendly, well equipped with all necessary items for the job and happy to answer all my questions. He addressed and resolved the issue I had called about and then made some suggestions as to how we could run our homes water usage more efficiently. Before leaving he offered to put together estimates of what the suggestions would cost and then left us with his card in the event that we chose to make some of those changes....which we will.
We will always use DBs plumbing and drain in the future, for sure.

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.
Washington, DC
Extremely responsive. Extremely professional. Definitely pricey but thorough, clean excellent service. You have peace of mind things are done right.

Donzelle was awesome. We had an emergency plumbing situation (backup flowing up through my tenant's shower drain...pretty gross), and Donzelle was the first person to respond to my requests. His communication was excellent throughout, his prices were fair, and he responded immediately. He was also able to work with the tenant to find a time that worked best for everybody for follow-up work. He didn't try to upsell or pressure us based on the situation and his quality of work was fantastic. Sent pictures and updates throughout, cleaned up, and my tenant also reported that he was very satisfied. Super professional, 5 stars.

Stay away! This project has caused us nothing but stress and work!
We were given a time estimate of 3 days for replacing the ceiling on our main level and installing 8 recessed lights. When we noticed that workers did not make use of any tarp or drop cloths, or care when working in our home, we were annoyed. When the work took 5 full days instead of 3 we were frustrated but understood. Sometimes something turns out to be more work than initially thought - it happens. We were so desperate to get our home back that we even ended up helping the workers paint & clean, just so we could start the process of moving back upstairs into our main level.
When we fully inspected the work the next day in daylight we realized that it was a mess! The ceiling was uneven, full of dents and craters. The work around the recessed lights was messy and just plain ugly. Our hardwood floor was still covered in paint, some of the baseboards damaged and a wooden beam dividing our living space, covered in paint and scratched.
I mentioned all our concerns to Clay when he stopped by a few days later to change out some light switches. He ensured me everything would be taken care of and fixed. We agreed Gabriel, his worker who did the majority of the work, would stop by the following weekend to fix any spots that needed more work.
Gabriel did in fact stop by 2 more times, again plastering, sanding and painting without the use of any tarp or drop cloths (we provided our own this time but paint still got on our rugs and floors). In an attempt to fix some of the damaged spots on our wall he used our wall paint we had sitting on the counter, which was glossy paint for the kitchen, on our living room walls which used matte paint. Leaving us the having to repaint the entire living room. The ceiling was still uneven, a light fixture in our hallway covered in paint, and the recess lighting still messy. Our house was yet again completely covered in dust, paint and plaster and we were still living in our basement.
After 5 full days of work and 2 extra evening visits, we were still extremely unhappy with the work and the care (or lack thereof) taken in our home.
I contacted Clay and told him that we were very frustrated mostly as an FYI but also declined having Gabriel come to our home again since we already knew it would end up in more damage than progress. We decided to fix any issues ourself since we just wanted our home back. Clay apparently took this as an opportunity to reveal his anger issues and accused us of not paying (I personally paid the amount in full 1 week prior with him standing across the room) and threatened to put a lien on our home and that we would hear from his attorney. He then said that it was not fair to complain without giving him the chance to fix any outstanding issues with their work. But after 7 days of work when 3 days were promised, we felt we had given more than a fair chance to make things right.
Overall a bad experience with this company. We had been very accommodating with the work taking much longer than promised, the mess in our home and paid in full before work was finished.
Unprofessional, rude, careless and no attention to detail. Will definitely never use again or recommend to anyone. Stay away!

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!
