Best in Chesapeake VA

This company is great. They came and started my watering system up and checked all the heads, realigned them if needed and found a leak I did not know I had. Very reasonable rates and a super staff. Thank you so much.

I ordered everything I needed to renovate my bathroom back in early June from a bog box store.  I received everything except for the shower enclosure fairly quickly.  I finally received the 4 piece shower at the end of September and found it in about 12 pieces.  I needed to get this project going as I had already paid the plumber for half of the project in June.  I went to Noland and sat down with one of their friendly representatives to see what my options were.  I decided on a unit that satisfied my needs and that was in stock right there.  It was delivered to me the next day and in perfect condition.  Noland saved my renovation and at a better price than I would have paid at that other store.  My Strongest Recommendation.

I recently hired Jason - One Eleven Handyman Services in building a new small business with extensive plumbing and a variety of miscellaneous little jobs (i.e. mounting retail slat board, wall-mount for TV, painting, etc....) and he was fair in pricing, competent in work completed and flexible in alterations required as the build progressed - both for the best needs of the business to be met as well as city code compliance.  I would not hesitate to use Jason's services for my business or my home - he is timely, fair priced, responsive -- AND cleans up after himself!!  He is a pleasure to work with.

Great availability! Was able to get scheduled the next day, and was very helpful in figuring out how the system works.

This company is excellent! A couple of years ago, they were involved with a major renovation on our house and did a wonderful job (a BIG thanks, Greg)! So we called them again to service our AC unit and a plumbing issue in our bathroom. They sent Tyler, who was wonderful! He took care of both issues efficiently and professionally! He was very proficient at his job and very friendly and tolerant of hovering homeowners! We highly recommend them to anyone needing plumbing or HVAC work and will definitely use them again!

I had a toilet with a leak and a dripping tub faucet.  I called midday Monday and got a 9am appointment for Tuesday.  The phone was answered professionally and I was assured the tech would call before he arrived.  Tuesday the tech called on his way and arrived on time.  Cameron and helper Trever were neat and friendly.  They assessed the two main problems and worked efficiently and professionally.  We discussed future work needed.  I asked them to look at my kitchen faucet while they were here and they said sure.  They were able to correct an issue within 5 minutes.  I would definitely recommend this company and will use them again myself.  Thank you for the experience.  Heidi Burgoon- Portsmouth

We had a issue that no one wanted to fix early this summer but Kellam Mechanical was willing and easily did.

Our duct work had a huge tear in it and more than half of it needed to be replaced. We had several people come out to give us quotes and most, if not all, never called us back. I get it, it's crappy work and it's hott. We then tried to go through our home warranty company. After paying our deposit and having a company come out to stand us up on 95+ days in May, we decided to front the bill and call a well known company that we knew would have little odds of standing up us. That's when i turned to Kellam Mechanical. They came out same day to give us a quote. Chris, our technician, came out and gave us an honest and affordable quote (lets be real,  duct work in the summer is not cheap nor is it easy work for these guys to do) that we couldn't refuse. We booked with Chris before he even left and decided to get the service plan as well, since we just bought the house and it's our first summer to maintenance the machine. The following week Chris was able to come out and replace the duct work for us and was even friendly to talk to. It's been about a month since we have replaced the duct work and i've purposely waited this long to write a review to see how well our electricity bill would hold up. We went from $400 to about $200 ( finally a normal bill!!!) in mid summer keeping our AC on 73!!  We've never been able to do this even with 80 degree weather outside. So yes, Kellam gets 5 stars in our book and we're also really glad we got our service plan.

As far as the service we had done, I'm so sorry that i forgot the gentleman that came but he was also amazing. He got our machine running great and even installed some fancy thing that shuts the machine off if it were to flood or the run off over flowed (I dont speak AC so my technical terms are probably wrong). Anywho, we are VERY happy so far with our services from them and continue to refer them to our family and friends.

I appreciated the phone call to let me know my technician was on the way. He arrived on time and was professional and did good work. I needed my waste overflow valve replaced in my tub because it was corroded through and was leaking down into the crawl space. My bill was $480. A bit steep but I needed I needed the job done.

The scheduler called to let me know that the plumber was running late and might not come within my appointment window about an hour and half into my appointment window.  I really appreciated the heads up instead of them waiting until the end of my window to call.  That being said, the scheduled called me back moments later to let me know the plumber would come within 36 minutes.  When the plumber arrived, he was honest about my issue, let me know he would have to purchase parts from a specialty store (which I expected due to prior issues).  He promptly purchased the parts and even provided me with an extra part should the problem occur again.  He was very professional and even gave me some advise so I can avoid this issue again in the future.

I am so happy that I have switched to R L Sykes as my plumber.  My previous plumber (company shall remain nameless) could not find the reason why my Air Handler was leaking.  R L Sykes' plumber extraordinaire, Ed, found the leak within 5 minutes...a cracked drip pan. Same story with a small, natural gas leak at my boiler...exhaust pipe had a small hole...again, Ed found the cause within minutes.  Ed knows what he is doing and has a great attitude going about his business...he is extremely friendly and courteous.  We elected to switch to a tankless water heater and Ed did a very thorough and clean job...it looks and works wonderful.  Ed is an employee of this family-owned and run business.  Richard (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable as he has been doing this for over 40 years.  He is always available, helpful, and will go out of his way to make the customer happy.  I highly recommend this plumbing business for all your plumbing, heat and air needs.  And, no, I am not a family member or an employee of this company...I am retired Navy!

I called about a broken water heater this morning about 8:30 am. They said they would be able to come between 1 and 4 pm. Justin arrived at 1 pm. Quickly assessed the problem and my water heater was replaced with a new one. Everything was done in about 90 minutes. This included getting a new water heater form the warehouse, removal of the old water heater, and installation of the new one. Excellent service!!! Would highly recommend this company.

I am so pleased with the fast response time by Brown Plumbing and Septic.  The techs, Stephen and Frank were very courteous, polite, and professional.  They each went above and beyond what I would have expected.  My septic system was cleaned thoroughly and they answered many questions that I had and were very helpful in making me more aware of how a septic system works.  I will highly recommend Brown Plumbing and Septic to all of my family and friends. Thank you Stephen and Frank!!!

Literally everything that was done was against plumbing code. He compromised the structural integrity of my walls and notched 2/3 of the studs out. Everything was done so sloppy that other contractors that saw the job before drywall said he should be on the news for what he did. A lot of hard lessons from this were learned and a lot of money spent. Avoid at all cost.

STAY AWAY!! Ridiculously expensive. Get a quote in writing BEFORE you use them. Total rip-off company!!
