Best Plumbing Issues in Washington DC
I would run swiftly in the other direction if you are considering using this company! Save yourself the headache.
Contracted Mr. Super Plumber (Maurice Walton), on Thursday, December 10 to do a very simple install and exchanging out of pipes and rough-in in the basement before concrete was poured. I hesitantly gave him a 40% upfront and he also asked for another 10% when the job began. Regrettably, I did this and this is where the nightmare began. I know the job was simple because we hired a plumber afterwards who did the job in a half of day with a complete crew. Hindsight is always 20/20!
He showed up the following Tuesday with one worker that did not speak english (called him his helper) and was completely unprepared to do what we had contracted him to do. He spent most of that first day talking and making excuses about why he could only work 4 hours the first day instead of 8. He said that he was tired from having to respond to an emergency at a woman's house the day before. He asked me if it was ok for him to leave early after the first day because he was tired and that he was ahead of schedule. The work that he did on the 1st day could have been done in one hour with a skilled crew.
Day 2 and 3 were much of the same, he showed up late, left early, left the jobsite on multiple occasions for product runs, and had tons of excuses why a one day job had turned into 5. Maurice also communicated to me that my presence on the job site (the house that I own) made him nervous and asked me to trust him and that good work takes time. This was just another ploy and pressure tactic for him to avoid doing what he said that he would do. Aside from all of these other issues, Mr. Super Plumber was just unprofessional. There was zero urgency to do what he communicated at the time that he said we was going to do it. These were signs that I missed.
The entire time that he was on site he kept reminding me of how much money I was saving by using him and how he wasn't charing me more for things that he began to see that he did not anticipate. I regret that I did not follow my first instinct when I met him and went elsewhere.
To date he has received $3700 dollars from me and on the following Monday when he promised he was going to get the job done has disappeared and is not answering my phone calls or that of our general contractor. He told me that $2700 were for materials and all he bought was $100 worth of PVC pipe at best which are still left on site. I intend to file a police report as well because of this money that was stolen from me. To date he has not returned the deposit that we gave him and stated on the phone in our last conversation that he does not intend to.
I would run swiftly in the other direction if you are considering using this company or guy. I can not say this strongly enough!

The guys from Durance (Kirk, Adam, Matt) are honest, knowledgeable, and dependable and do great work. We have an old house and have trusted them with several different jobs (backups, leaks, furnace replacement) -- including in the middle of the pandemic. Each time it was a good experience despite the difficulty of dealing with plumbing issues. They're more interested in building relationships than making a quick buck.

Plumber is DC was great. I was nervous about hiring a plumber, but I just had to. (Leaking water main valve) They made the entire process as easy as possible for me. They worked with my schedule and got it done for a fair price and finished it pretty quick!
I'll definitely be calling these freindly guys again.

I contacted this business to perform painting for my company. I was told that they don't have time even after assuring that we would and could accept a later date to perform this work based on Capitol Handyman's schedule. We were looking to invest 9.5k into this work but were rudely spoken to and surreptitiously dismissed. I am amazed by how they stay in business by blowing people off. This company is removed from further consideration with my organization and we have 5 additional facilities that will require painting after this one. They could have pocketed a cool 50 grand for the work we need done, but they blew it. And good riddance!!!

I had a serious and widespread plumbing issue in my condo caused in part by the faulty installation of pipes years ago. Elie and his team correctly diagnosed the situation using a hi-tech camera (which produced a video of the interior of the pipes so I could see exactly what the problem was) and set to work replacing and correctly reinstalling a large part of the plumbing tree in my ceiling. What a relief! Elie and company know what they are doing and accomplish the work for a fair price.

I called Abe, and he was able to come straight over from wherever he was on the road. He was courteous and quick, knowing that I had to run out for an appointment in a short time. I would definitely call him back for my next plumbing crisis.
