Best Boiler Replacement in Washington DC

Alejandro and his assistant arrived quickly and were wonderful! Took their shoes off as we are that kind of house - worked so carefully and quickly assessed and handled the problem! Even recommended further work I should have done to keep my household working. Loved their attention to detail and super fast response!

Durance plumbing is that wonderful combination of great work, great professionalism, and great integrity. I cannot imagine using anyone else in this area and am so pleased to recommend them to anyone needing a plumber.

Exceptional professional service per their norm over several years.

This is my go-to for plumbing and heating in DC. The workers are very familiar with old houses and related issues. Reasonable prices and fast service!

We've been using Barnes for 21 years for everything from basement overflow to frozen kitchen pipes. Prompt and professional. They get the job done.

They came promptly at the appointment time and fixed everything quickly and cleanly. The plumber explained exactly what was wrong and why the issue had occurred. Even though the previous contractor had left things in bad shape he was able to repair things and get them working perfectly. The price was very fair.

This is the third time I have used Tim Whistler services. They are very responsive and the workers are very professional. And they are always on time!

This time Mike came to work on fixing a water pipe. He explained what he did and the area was cleaned when he finished. Very professional and nice.
Maria the scheduler was very helpful and was able to get me an appointment on short notice. Very good communication with the company.

I don't even look for other plumbing companies now. If I have another problem I plan to use them again.

I got my HVAC system repaired by them and they were very thoughtful and open with questions. I can't say the same with other companies who tried to overcharge.

Pros:
Jimmy picked up phone when I called
I was able to schedule an appt for the following day
The person who came (not Jimmy) called in advance soon before he arrived (though not at the planned time)
The person who showed up unclogged the toilet in about 10 mins
No problems in that toilet since then, about a month ago

Cons:
There was a second guy who came along, maybe an apprentice -- he reeked of weed, eyes totally glazed, seemed like he was in another universe-- I was close to sending them away, seemed really unprofessional, but I needed the work done
A minute before unclogging the toilet the guy doing the work said they were going to have to disconnect the toilet to find the clog, which would be a big long job-- I was concerned what that would mean in terms of cost and didn't want the high guy involved in anything --
while relieved when the snake worked moments later, I was confused about how after only 10 mins he was going to try to rope me into a big project when based on what happened that would not have been necessary
The guy said it would be $190 -- I said wow that's really expensive for taking 10 mins with a snake unclogging a toilet, he said okay $150-- I just paid it since it was my fault I didn't confirm pricing in advance with Jimmy but if you are looking for a fair price I wouldn't say that's what I got
On my original call with Jimmy I also said I wanted a quote for some heating work in the basement-- he said I would get a call from someone else to set that up -- it's a heating and plumbing business but I guess the workers do one or the other -- and no one ever called

I would consider doing business with them again on short notice if necessary because they are in the area but I would confirm pricing up front and with more lead time I would try to find someone else
