Best A/C Repair in Washington DC
I have had back luck with service companies in the past but Reddick was great to me. I spoke to two people to schedule the appointment and they were both polite and helpful. And they were able to send someone out the very next day. David, the service tech, didn't try to overcharge me for bogus repairs. He was very honest and called me right away to explain the situation. I will definitely call Reddick the next time I have any issues! Thank you Reddick!

Mehran came and did a great job installing my hose bib! I was really happy with his work and professionalism. He was on time and super easy to work with! I would use him again for my plumbing needs!

Failed to show up for an appointment. Failed to respond to multiple calls. They might be good, but don't count on them showing up.

I had Thomas E Clark out twice now and I've been thoroughly impressed both times by their professionalism, knowledge, and honesty.
The first time was for a humidifier. They gave me all my options and the prices and carefully outlined the pros and cons of each. They eventually steered me towards the cheapest option. (It works great and installation was very professional, clean...) while I had the rep here I asked about an unrelated issue--getting my house to heat and cool more evenly. He told me my options again and honestly told me the highest cost one was probably not what I really wanted because it was best suited for when you're going to be opening up all the walls anyway. The rep gave me a free, easy idea to try and it worked! Wow.
This most recent time I had the plumbing guys out to discuss a backwater valve. The rep told me the pros and cons of the valve itself and evaluated my house's suitability for it/need for it. He basically told me it isn't necessary for me and would cause a huge mess and high costs.
Yet again since I had him here I asked about an unrelated issue-sewer gases getting into our house. Others I've talked to told me I'd need to rip out the walls and ceiling in the bathroom to get at the venting--very expensive. Thomas E Clark's guy looked at my problem and came up with a cheaper, less invasive solution to try first.
Common sense, honest HVAC and plumbing? I think I'm in love.

We requested the $79 a/c checkup offered by Snell. We were told that, in addition to a new capacitor @ $281, we needed an additional $1261 in repairs.
Specifically a safety switch for operation of AC @$281; cleaning the blower motor @ $281; and installation of a media filter for $699.
We approved the new capacitor but decided to have another contractor we've used in the past to review Snell's estimates and learned the following:
1. We already have a safety switch for the AC.
2. The blower motor does not require cleaning
3. The ONLY problem with the media filter is that we had installed an undersized accordian filter, which is why there was a gap allowing some air to bypass the filter. Instead of a new media filter @ $700, we just needed the correct filter (16x25 instead of 16x20!)
Thankfully we did not proceed with the unneeded work and expense. Whether the capacitor was bad I'll never know. I do know when Snell came out the previous Spring for the $79 checkup, everything was said to be fine including the capacitor.
All in all a disappointing experience. I suggest Snell review this situation. It may have been a one-off.

I love this company! This was the 5th plumbing company I had look at an issue involving a leak in my bathroom. They diagnosed the issue, got parts for everything and fixed it in under 4 hours. They even had to do some carpentry work to hook everything up correctly. My bathroom looks great and the price was the best option I had been quoted. Alex C. was the technician that helped me & he told me everything up front, explained the process and answered all of my dumb questions. I'm so grateful I found this company and will definitely call them anytime I have an issue!

After months of struggling with our plumbing and finding a trustworthy plumber, Zack has swooped in and saved the day. He seriously went way above and beyond for us and was able to not only fix our plumbing issue, but also restore our trust in plumbing companies. We weren't sure what to expect considering his very reasonable estimate, but we are honestly so pleased. Thanks, Zack and Plumb Pros for everything!!! We will 100% be using you for all future plumbing jobs.

There were many issues with our boiler and plumbing both here and at a rental property. They worked very hard and even came back at 8 pm to finish
up. Both Sean and Mikey are so nice to work with. Highly recommend.

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 .

Just moved into a townhome in Silver Spring and was already having some trouble with a couple of the bathrooms. One was loose or something and leaked at the bottom onto the tile as soon as it was flushed, so that made a bit of a mess that had to be cleaned up. Another one had some deteriorating pump materials inside the tank, particularly the rubber flapper, that had come completely away from its connections and prevented the toilet bowl from refilling with water, so basically it would not flush. Put in a maintenance request for all of this to be addressed to the property manager, and within two days of putting in the request, a plumber from JF Plumbing and Heating arrived, earlier than the four-hour timeframe the company had originally indicated, and he got right to work and was done within 15 minutes. Fixed both toilets; basically the one that leaked had to have a bolt re-tightened at the bottom that holds the commode to the floor, and the other one he put in a brand new, functional rubber stopper.
I was expecting to be there at the house all morning waiting on a plumber, but he was quick and I ended up going back to work quickly. So glad they were considerate of other people's time and appreciate them for sending someone who took care of the problems. I also liked the fact that as soon as the plumber noticed all-wood flooring in the home, he tied plastic bags over his boots to ensure he tracked no moisture or mud through the home.

This is my review of an area plumbing company. One of the homes I'm managing is for a friend. When they moved in, there were leaks in the pipes from the house being unrented until the owner decided what to do with it. It was late in the day and I didn't want them to be without water when they moved totally in, so I googled plumbers. They were the first one that could come out the next day.
I received a call telling me what he had found; several leaks in various places and a rusted water tank. During this call, he said he would like to rent the house. I told him it was already rented and he said that I could tell them I changed my mind and rent it to him. This was after I told him I had a signed lease and even if I didn't, I'm not the type of person to go back on my word. Against my better judgement because I loathe dishonest people, I gave the go ahead.
Next phone call I receive, he tells me that there is a leak in the tub and he will have to tear out the front of the bench that was connected to get to the tub. He stated there was no other way to get to it. Since I couldn't be there, a realtor friend of the tenants was there to let them in and answer any questions she could. She was surprised that he was on the phone most of the time and didn't start on the work (other than looking for leaks) until his buddy showed up. He had a different company logo on his shirt.
On this same phone call, he tells me that there is a mold problem in the house and no one should be renting it and he would give a recommendation for a remediation company. I told him, I would look into it myself. Funny how he goes from I want to rent this house to no one should rent it. Yeah, I trust that. Turns out there was some mold on the basement wall. It washed right off and has not returned. There was not a mold problem that would need a remediation company.
The realtor was outside, but could hear them talking. At one point, he was going over his checklist and yelled to his buddy, is the tub fixed up there. Buddy yelled back, yes, it's all done.
Tenant goes over the next day and turns on the tub and it's still leaking. I went over to see the work that had been done. In looking at the tub, the wood on the front of the tub, had 4 screws that could have been removed and then removal of the bench panel could have been removed without destroying it. They had not touched the tub leak; however, they did fix a pipe leading to the sink. He insisted that if the tub still leaked, the house would be flooded and the water would have to be turned off at the main, leaving the house with no water. I told him the water to the tub was turned off, but he said that wasn't possible.
I called and left a message for the owner to please call me, which he did right away. After telling him I was disappointed with the work that was done, I asked when he could come out and take a look. He replied that the office hours were 9 to 5. I asked if he could come out either after 7 at night or on Sunday as I wanted the tenant to be there, since he had a better idea of what was going on. In addition, I wanted the realtor there so she could tell him what happened first hand. Also, as the conversation went on, I felt he was very condensending to me and felt it might go better with a man there. He refused and would only state that the hours were 9 to 5. I said I understand that, but since he is the owner, he could work whatever hours he wanted. Nope, would not do it.
He said that the buddy that showed up was actually someone that worked for him on an as needed basis, but that he wasn't there to help his employee, he just was there.
Everything, I said to him was turned and, in so many words, felt like he was calling me a liar and that I was the one that was wrong. At this point I was very frustrated and needed to get off the phone as I was getting nowhere anyway.
I gave up on having the tenant or the realtor there and scheduled it for during the day. It was a waste of time, as he was just the same in person. Nothing his employee did was wrong, except he would tell his employee not to have his buddy come to any more jobs. After telling me I didn't pay to have the tub leak fixed, he said he could give me an estimate. I laughed and said no, there is no way I would be using his company again. He said then why am I here? Why did you call me? I said for him to look at the work his employee did and talk to him about everything. He was upset that I wasted his time. Well, he wasted my time and almost $3,000.
I debated leaving this review, but feel that his customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. The company is DB Plumbing and Drain. They have 5 star reviews, however, if you look at the 1 star reviews, it is enough to verify my complaint and the fact that they are always quick to blame others. There are so many other companies out there; I suggest you try one of those.

Isaac Guevara is a terrific plumber. He installed a new hot water heater for us. He does the work himself, did a great job, everything to code, good quality work, cleaned up, and at a reasonable cost.
None of the usual rigamarole of plumbers; instead Isaac is honest, has over a decade of plumbing and contracting experience, and does a great job at a reasonable price.
Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Heil Plumbing. The person I spoke to on the phone to arrange our appointment was efficient, and let me know ahead of time approximately how much replacing our broken water heater might be, if replacement turned out to be the best option (which I really appreciated so we weren't shocked the next day). Gary called the next morning to let me know he was on his way before our appointment time, and was friendly when he arrived. He explained my options and pricing to me thoroughly, and worked quickly despite some unforeseen obstacles with our old water heater. I'm delighted to have a go-to company so close to us for any future plumbing needs.
Washington, DC
This a business that I would highly recommend. I have used this business for several of my plumbing needs. The response time was remarkable. When they showed up, they were prompt, knowledge and gave real time estimates for the completion of the work. Having contractors show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to complete a job with leaving no question unanswered is very important to me. I have always been satisfied with the work completed. Finding a reliable company to complete jobs can be difficult but when you find one, you treat it as gold, and DJ's pluming is that company that a value :o) You won't be disappointed.

Clay is a super nice and honest guy! He came by twice to look at things and he was a pleasure to work with.

We needed our garbage disposal replaced. Mathew responded quickly and was willing to work with us on the price! Out of the five local companies we quoted his price was the best! He kept us apprised on his arrival time and finished the job quickly and professionally. We will definitely be using him for all future jobs!!!!

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!

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. :)
