Review and analyze now for company MJW Plumbing Company and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Very pleased. Found through Yelp's project management feature, showed up quickly, stated what I could expect from the initial repair, and then returned the next day to repair another issue.
Not cheap, but reasonable for the Reston area. Will definitely turn to MJW Plumbing again for plumbing work.
I hired Mike to fix a plumbing issue at our home which involved replacement of the innards of a toilet and a bathroom faucet. Upon arrival, Mike did a thorough inspection of the house's plumbing system and found some other issues that may cause problems down the line.
He replaced those as well and saved us a huge headache! Mike and Anna are a great family business and do excellent work. He is prompt, communicative, and doesn't try to upsell you.
It is important to be flexible with your schedule as a job prior to yours could take a bit longer than expected, but he will let you know if your time window changes. Would definitely recommend! Michael came out on short notice to replace my sump pump with a new pump and battery backup system.
They fit me in on a very tight schedule in terms of various contractors who needed to do projects in a specific order in the three days before I moved into the house. They arrived promptly and worked efficiently.
In about two hours I had a new system installed and they carted off the old one. They left no mess and there was basically no evidence they had been here other than the new pump.
Plumbers rates are generally pretty high and Michael is not particularly cheap, but I felt the rate was fair and his expertise and workmanship is well worth it! Mike has been our go-to for years, helping with a range of jobs in our older home. I can trust that I'm always getting an honest assessment and fair price from him.
Mike is super dependable and always remembers details from his jobs even when years have gone by, which speaks volumes to his commitment to the trade. I'd recommend him to anyone in the DMV.
I called MJW Plumbing Company because they had excellent ratings on Yelp. Mike picked up the phone right away, asked me a few questions and was able to diagnose the problem immediately.
Although it was the weekend, Mike came out to replace our hot water heater right away. He is cheerful, knowledgeable and professional.
Although he is a master plumber, his prices are reasonable. I'll definitely call MJW Plumbing should I have any future plumbing needs! I highly recommend them.
Michael did a full build on our toilet and gave us a fair price for the parts and labor. We will hire him for any future plumbing work.
Knowledgeable....thank you for fixing my broken sump pump! It is always challenging to find people you trust I texted late Saturday afternoon and Mike was able to get me on the schedule for Monday afternoon. He was most communicative and punctual and replaced a broken shower handle and cartridge.
I will definitely be calling him for any future plumbing issues. Thanks Mike and Anna!!! Mike and Anna were great!!! Fast responses and really great at communicating as to when they were coming within the window.
I would highly recommend using them! I reached out to MJW Plumbing Company at 6 AM on a Monday morning after our sink stopped draining. Within an hour, I'd gotten a call back, and Mike was out at our house the same day.
He was able to fix our sink quickly. He also gave us tips on how to prevent similar issues from popping up in the future and how to attempt a self-service fix if we need to.
We appreciated Mike's quick and efficient service! Mike replaced a worn out shutoff valve and our hot water heater. He was professional and quick to respond.
I would definitely use his services again. Anna and Mike are great to work with.
They were super flexible in scheduling a technician (Mike) to come look at our shower head and water heater. I will definitely be reaching back out to MJW for future repairs and quotes.
Thanks for the great communication and honest feedback regarding our plumbing/water heater. I usually never write reviews but my experience with MJW plumbing was the best experience I ever had in household repair/maintenance.
I called MJW plumbing in a panic on a Saturday morning when my water heater stopped working. Mike's wife answered the phone immediately and set me up with a same day appointment, giving me updates of his ETA by text.
Mike arrived within two hours of my phone call. He was able to diagnose the problem immediately, drive to Fergusons to obtain the required replacement part and fix the water heater within 1.5 hours of arrival.
Mike's work was not only of high quality but amazingly efficient. In addition, Mike and his wife were both extremely courteous and pleasant to speak to and addressed any questions or concerns I had about the repair.
I highly recommend MJW plumbing and I plan to use them for my future plumbing needs. Had our sewer line backup which meant that our entire line was clogged.
Looked on Yelp for someone to unclogged and saw that MJW Plumbing Company had a high rating and a quick response. I sent a message which resulted in a quick response, even on a holiday Sunday.
The owner called shortly thereafter and made an appointment to stop by. He arrived on time, assessed the situation, told us what to expect and took care of the problem.
Main sewer line opened and we are happy. We highly recommend MJW Plumbing.
Great response, knowledgeable and friendly and reasonable prices, even for a holiday weekend. These men very literally skipped dinner at home to come replace my water heater and for a price less than the other quotes I received for the same job.
The whole thing decided to give up the ghost on a Monday, because of course it did, and they threw caution to the wind and showed up after I got out of work Tuesday [later than anyone usually makes appointments] despite having a suspicion that the job would be a tricky one. After much careful wiggling, rerigging, rewiring, and replumbing, they got everything installed, cleaned out my air conditioner condenser for free and had the foresight to test and replace a few other worn parts to prevent problems later down the road.
Both of them were careful to involve me in the entire process so I understood what was going on and could see what needed fixing with my own eyes instead of just being handed charges fait accompli and so I know how to check problem areas in the future. While I, of course, hope not to -need- them again, they're the top of my list to call if I ever do.
Mike was great. Very transparent with his prices and very reliable.
He is our go to Plumber! A pleasure to work with! Booking was a piece of cake, and the price transparency is a welcome breath of fresh air. Will use again! I had a leaky pipe to my toilet late in the evening.
I searched Yelp for plumbers and put out a request for help. MJW was the first to respond and provided Mike's contact info to speak with him in the morning.
I called him shortly after 8 am. From the start, I was impressed by his professionalism.
He identified himself, asked me to describe the problem and provided an estimated cost and time of arrival. He arrived on time and quickly assessed the problem and provided options to fix it.
With my go ahead, he got straight to work and fixed the leak. He also graciously looked over past work on the toilet and okayed it.
He also tested his work before departing to ensure there were no remaining issues. I will definitely be calling Mike again for my plumbing needs.
Highly recommend him! So Yelp threw me a curveball when I went to submit a request for a quote for some plumbing work. What I didn't realize was that Yelp would randomly send out multiple requests (what?) ...
That being said, Michael called me back about 10 mins later (lightning fast!) He was extremely polite and professional, and I would have made an appointment except it was only after we'd had a great conversation that he found out I was in the Maryland side. Will definitely refer him to my VA friends! Very good service.
The sink installation was quick. I also received helpful advice about my water heater.
I would use this plumbing service again. Mike was very helpful and informative.
He checked out our new home and reviewed some issues we had been having with garbage disposal, water pressure, and a hose leak in the basement. He fixed all the issues promptly.
Would call on him again. Thanks Mike! Quick response, fair price and quality work.
Was all around great experience. Based on reviews, I selected MJW for an emergency situation, where our ceiling was leaking water.
I gave him 5 stars for the following reasons: 1. Michael was quick to respond by calling me back off hours within 30 minutes.
2. He came to our home earlier than estimated 3.
Very professional, knowledgeable and courteous 4. Transparent with pricing He figured out the root cause of the leak.
I would highly recommend MJW and would use him again. I'm still in process of finding the right person to fix a plumbing issue at our home, but I wanted to leave a positive review about MJW and their use of the Yelp quote platform.
Mike got back to me in short order and gave me a straight assessment of my situation based off the pictures I sent. This is exactly the type of response that I would be looking for out of the Yelp price quote system (versus others that just said to call them, and then the person taking the call had no clue what I sent/wrote about my issue) Mike from MJW Plumbing and his employee recently replaced our hot water heater that was leaking.
He was friendly, polite, fast responder and knowledgeable for the job at hand. I called on a Monday (a holiday) and he was out on Wed with all parts to replace the water heater (no small feat now a days).
Also, they were professional and being in the midst of a pandemic wore masks and took off their shoes as necessary. We also have a leak within our upstairs bathroom and instead of taking us to the cleaners, he was honest on what would be involved and the best path forward to correct the issue.
I can't recommend a more competent and knowledgeable plumbing company than MJW Plumbing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I would definitely hire him again.
I called Mike to unclog a sink and give an estimate on several other items in our new house. While this wasn't an emergency, he said he could stop by later that afternoon and he did.
He gave me a very good assessment of everything and made a few suggestions also. He did a great job educating me on various items and didn't apply any pressure.
When something was beyond his capabilities, he was quick to suggest I find someone else for the work. He also followed up to see if we wanted to move forward.
To sum it up, Mike was quick, helpful and didn't give the usual sales pitch you'd get from others. He's definitely on my shortlist for future plumbing projects and emergencies! Michael came out today to do an estimate on replacing some copper piping.
He was on time, called ahead, gave a fair quote, and got to work right away. He even checked my water pressure and offered a quote on some other work that could be done, but there was never any pressure.
He seemed knowledgeable. I would like to note that he was one of the few companies willing to come out quickly, offer a fair price, and get the work done right away.
Quite a few other places wanted upfront deposits, couldn't come out till next week, or never even responded. Which is bad for them because I may have just found my plumber for life (this is the first time I have had plumbing work done, just bought our house).
I appreciated the strait forward and honest job. Mike came out to fix my leaky tub spout, he repaired/replaced handles, cartridges and spout.
Price seemed very reasonable. He is very professional, honest and polite.
If I have any additional plumbing issues, I will be using Mike and his company! Highly recommend this company! I hired Mike to replace our leaking water heater and outside faucet. I chose him based on his quote and his expertise on the subject.
Overall he did a fantastic job. He was on time, work turned out great and his quote was on point.
I would hire him again for any plumbing needs. Filled out a Yelp quote request for service in Manassas and Mike responded right away and was out the next day to look at my water heater.
We decided to replace and he came out the next day to do the replacement. Gave me fair pricing, was super informative and responsive and showed up right on time.
Definitely recommend, will be using again when I have future plumbing projects. Mike is a plumber like no other.
Nothing but 5 star reviews surely made me skeptical but I'm glad I went with Mike. He's is easily reachable by text or phone.
He'll arrive when he says he does, and he'll make sure you're satisfied at multiple check points throughout his work and his estimates are fair, and accurate. If he can expand and do a little extra he'll offer it and provide the cost before he does anything additional.
I've had him do two separate jobs and extremely happy with both. Customer service is clearly a strength of his as he's a friendly, courteous and even taught me a few things along the way.
Thanks again for the work you've done. Mike and Owen did amazing work in an extremely timely manner.
They came within one hour's notice after we had a pipe burst and resolved it very quickly and professionally. They were the nicest crew we have ever hired and they were happy to answer each and every question we had as they were extremely knowledgeable.
10/10 recommend if you're looking for an honest, quality crew that still offers very reasonable pricing! Mike and Owen just finished a job and they were awesome! They fixed an exterior hose spigot and interior bib and did very thorough-high quality work. He walked me through a couple of options and walked me through the whole process, he was very patient and super communicative.
He's very personable! I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs! Not sure why Yelp hid my review! Hopefully this will make it appear again as the work was great! We had been experiencing very loud knocking from some of the pipes in our house for years and they were progressively getting worse! We had Mike come out and replace the main water shut off valve and pressure reducing valve, now we no longer have any knocking! Woo hoo! Whilst he was here he also changed our broken shower head and snaked our bathroom sink. Great work at excellent prices.
Honest and friendly customer service too! We are super happy with all the work! I highly recommend Mike and MJW Plumbing. Thanks so much!! I had a great experience with MJW Plumbing last week.
Michael made himself available within 24 hours to replace my basement sump pump. He was extremely professional and courteous.
I would recommend him to any and everyone in need of plumbing services! Friendly and fast in his response. Mike was honest and upfront on his pricing.
I needed him to replace a garbage disposal and he told me what he would charge if I purchased the disposal myself and what he would charge for the disposal if I bought off him. Quick install the same day.
Mike installed my water heater two years ago and did a great job. This morning I heard a weird noise coming from near the heater and texted him about it.
He responded almost instantly. After we talked and I shared pics and video, he correctly determined it wasn't the water heater at all.
Even after that was apparent, Mike still followed up with me to offer suggestions for how to fix the problem. Really outstanding service.
I will contact him for any plumbing issue. Awesome customer service! Had a kitchen sink leak that Mike fixed in no time.
Very thorough in his diagnostic, definitely needed to hire a pro to do the job. He replaced my previous DIY work (my DIY was like a band aid more than a permanent fix) at a very fair price and quality parts.
Also fixed drainage in basement bathroom and replaced parts. He's our go-to plumber.
Speedy service and courteous. Great local business and neighborly feel.
Please hit him up for all your plumbing needs, big or small. Mike does a great job! Mike got right back to me via Yelp, asked for some pictures and gave me an estimate and I scheduled an appointment there and then.
Mike was very communicative, and gave me the option of buying my own parts. Mike is friendly, polite, and does great work at reasonable price.
He replaced two faucets and a shower valve core, in our home. This is the Plumber you want to post his number on the family bulletin board as "Your Plumber".
He will do a great job for you and your family. My kitchen sink is clogged so I was checking around.
Michael respond to me right away. He squeezed the job in his busy Sunday schedule, and get it fixed in the same day.
In addition, he also replaced two leaking shut off valves for me. All with reasonable price.
Michael is very polite and professional. Will use him again for future jobs.
Super responsive, great attitude, conscientious work, very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!! Mike did great work installing a new pressure reducing valve in our home.
He did the work the very same day that I called him. I give him a 5 star rating.
He was professional and courteous. Mike is a great plumber, a consummate professional and overall very reliable.
Mike earned my trust from the initial service call, and showed great interest in delivering the best solutions for my plumbing problems. I know I can count on Mike, and will continue to call him when future issues arise.
Mike did a wonderful job replacing our water heater, pressure valve and faucets cartridges. Safety was our issue during this pandemic time, he came in our home and worked wearing a face mask.
His prices were affordable. Very professional, will definitely call him again for any other jobs we would need! I had a backflow preventer that was constantly leaking water into a basement drain.
Mike came the next day, took care of the problem, and diagnosed the cause - a failing pressure reducer. He completed the repair in short order at a reasonable rate (the rate he quoted me over the phone the previous day), and clearly explained all the steps he was taking.
Would definitely call again for any plumbing issues. Highly recommend.
If you need a Plumber, Mike is the best. Super nice, very professional, honest, and thorough.
I've owned many homes, and hired a lot of Plumbers. Mike is by far the best I've ever encountered in each and every category.
Look no further, make Mike your Plumber of choice! We had a leak, and Michael came out to do an estimate today for us. He was honest and told us that the source of the leak was not a plumbing related issue but rather a different issue.
Honest guy and I would recommend him for that alone. First of all he doesn't bother wearing a mask and covering his shoes white getting in a place and he would come close to talk so no safety measures at all.
Infact he was complaining about wearing mask and the should have been a red flag to me. Well I understand that many businesses charge more on weekends which I was ok to pay as I had to resolve the flooding issues in the basement.
He has been quit rude in the first place when told me that he would be charging 600$ and if I didn't confirm it in 10 minutes he wouldn't do the job and he started talking about his kids and wife being left just because he will be taking the job. Dude no one forced you to take the work you don't want to do on a week end it's purely your choice and u are not doing it for charity He kept pushing me for the camerascopy which honestly I didn't mind doing and paying extra but each time I would ask him to let me think he would, with a rude attitude, tell me that I only have 10 minutes to decide else he won't do it.
I totally don't trust his work and I am more then happy to pay someone else to do the job again and at least be nice the client. Would never recommend him to any one.
His work ethics are out of question. Beware he doesn't wear a mask he will talk to you getting close and he would enter the house with his shoes Mike from MJW Plumbing Company responded immediately to my request for a quote to replace my water heater.
He gave me an accurate quote and booked the job for two days later. He stayed until he confirmed that the water heater was working perfectly and left the place spotless.
I was happy with every aspect of the experience. I will definitely use MJW again.
Very fast response. Quickly Identified the problem and had it fixed in no time.
He triple checked his work to make sure everything was perfect before he left. Very friendly.
I will use him next time that I have an issue. Mike is a knowledgeable and super reliable plumber.
I highly recommend MJW Plumbing. Short Version: Mike is AWESOME.
You should hire him for whatever plumbing issue(s) you may be having. Longer Version: After searching for a couple of weeks for a reputable plumber that would 1) Do work in an HOA, 2) work with someone (me) from across the country and 3) get the job done quickly - I found MJW Plumbing on yelp and decided to give them a try.
He took my call and after explaining (as best I could from 2500 miles away) what I understood the problem to be - Mike was happy to coordinate with the folks renting the unit directly and went out on a SUNDAY to take a look. Within an hour of him getting to the unit I had a phone call, a series of pictures, an estimate and a planned install date.
In a era where customer service tends to be an after thought - at best - Mike and his company are a model for what service companies should strive to be. Truly worth every penny paid.
I would recommend Mike to anyone who needs a plumber. We had an emergency issue and within minutes we were able to get ahold of him and get a fair and honest quote.
He was able to come out right away (6pm on a friday!) and fix the issue within an hour. Mike was so professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
We would use him again anytime! I had a leak in the ceiling and Mike and team were able to pinpoint the issue and fix the problem. Mike was straightforward with explaining the issue and ways to resolve the problem.
He was very responsive and honest the entire time. I would highly suggest him if you have any plumbing problems.
Mike was honest and very flexible with scheduling time to come over to inspect/repair a sump pump in our basement. Very reasonable and upfront with his approach.
Got the job done! A+ I used Mike for a variety of jobs, from big to little, and he handled them all with fast service, fair prices, good communication/flexibility, and quality work. This isn't always how hiring a contractor goes, but it should be, and I was grateful.
If you're looking for a capable plumber that does honest work without any headaches, well...you're done looking. Call MJW Plumbing Company! Mike has come to fix several things in our rental house.
He is prompt to respond to correspondence, very flexible with his schedule, and wicked fast with the work he does. He has replaced our hot water heater (from start to finish, including supply runs, it took him 2.5 hours), he's replaced our rental house's main shut off valve in about an hour, and he replaced a kitchen faucet in less than an hour.
He has taken initiative interfacing with our landlord and has never treated us any differently being renters than if we were homeowners. Mike is a great plumber, and is absolutely the only plumber we'll be calling in the future.
MJW is the best way to go - steer clear of the chain plumbing companies and get the best service from MJW! Michael was friendly, professional and did a quick but thorough job replacing faucets and a valve. I would recommend him to anyone! After I broke the outdoor water spigot off my girlfriends house and flooded her backyard, she wanted a plumber to fix the issue ASAP.
She found Mike on Yelp so we gave him a call (at the end of the day). He immediately called back and said he would be right over.
He quickly and efficiently assessed the problem and was able to complete everything in about an hour. Very knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process.
We highly recommend him for anyone needing a plumber. Competitive pricing, doesn't sell you more services than you need, quick to respond, on time, gets the job done.
Had quote from larger company that was extremely high for the work being done. Mike gave me a quote over the phone based on photos and stuck to it.
Fixed everything in about an hour. Overall, great.
Mike did a great job for us inspecting water pressure and gas line. Knowledgeable and helpful.
This Sunday, I ran into a snag with a bathroom renovation, which prevented water from being used in my home. Mike came out within the hour and resolved the issue.
In addition to this, he proposed several options, some of which I could complete on my own, and others which he would need to assist, to complete my project. I felt zero pressure at all when I told him I needed to think about what would work best.
Very refreshing. He will be my first call if I have any plumbing issues in the future.
Outstanding plumber and person. Very quick and responsive.
Clean, knowledgeable, professional. I'm keeping his card for any future repairs.
No regrets at all. Owner Mike did a great job, kept me posted on his arrival time, explained the options, and quickly fixed our water heater.
Will definitely use his service again. Very knowledgeable and helpful explaining the process of replacing my water heater.
Mike was very quick to respond and made sure I understood the pros and cons of each choice. Mike was great! He was easy to get in touch with and came out quickly for our non-emergency issues.
He did thorough work and explained what he was doing and issues he noticed without trying to upsell. We will definitely use him again.
Used MJW when our previously plumber wasn't available. Fixed a leaking toilet seal and replaced.
Came fast, provided warranty on some of the work, was clear about the options and risks. Fast, friendly, and fair.
Mike was super responsive when I contacted him about a non-functioning garbage disposal over the weekend. The issue turned out to be an electrical problem rather than a plumbing problem based on the testing he did.
He was fantastic to work with and I'll definitely be calling the next time I have a plumbing issue! I called this morning because I found a leak in one of the pipes in my basement. Mike was busy, but he managed to squeeze me in that same morning to fix the problem.
He texted me when he was a half hour away, and arrived on time. He was courteous and was able to snake the pipe quickly.
I'm grateful for his good work, and I'll certainly call him in the future. Mike is great at what he does! Shows up on time, courteous and gets the job done well/fast.
He snaked two drains in my old house and replaced the kitchen faucet in a jiffy. Everything works fabulously and at a fair price.
Will use him again for future plumbing issues. Very friendly and professional small business owner.
He even worked on July 4th to get my spigots replaced. Excellent.
Michael quickly diagnosed our plumbing problems, answered our questions and fixed our water heater and pressure regulator. We wholeheartedly recommend him.
My husband and I had a terrific experience with our plumbing needs with Mike. Our water heater had conked out due to a broken valve and Mike responded to our situation in a very timely manner, and extended himself beyond the call of duty.
Our home is new so the part was covered under warranty still and Mike picked up the new valve and returned our old one on our behalf. His level of communication was excellent always informing us every step of the way.
When he got to our home, he fixed our water heater under 2 hours and had hot water running again. Mike was very efficient and had a very smooth flow and professional demeanor while fixing our water heater.
He gave great recommendations and a clear diagnosis of what happened to our water heater. We also contacted about a dozen companies for an estimate and Mike has competitive pricing.
We are very impressed with his caliber of service and will be using him for all our plumbing needs from now on. I called Mike in the evening on Memorial Day with a badly clogged kitchen sink.
To my surprise, Mike said that he would be over my house in 30 minutes to take care of the issue. I couldn't believe he was willing to come over immediately at 8pm on a holiday.
Mike is extremely friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He had the issue fixed and was cleaned up within an hour.
He saved the day and I will now call Mike for any future plumbing issues. Mike is a professional and interested in customer satisfaction.
We were pleased with the work we contracted for and appreciated honest feedback regarding cost and scope of work for our project. We would definitely call him again.
I had an issue with a shower fixture that became dislodged from my shower wall. Michael was easy to work with, talking with me about the issue via both text message and phone before scheduling a convenient time to come take a look at my issue.
Unfortunately, despite Michael's best effort, we weren't able to immediately resolve the issue due to a pre-existing structural issue with my wall & tile. Before he left he also assessed the water pressure of my home to ensure that wasn't causing any issues.
I'll be sure to keep Michael in mind for future plumbing needs. I can't recommend them enough! I called Mike on a Sunday, because my sump pump wouldn't turn off and was making a horrible noise.
He told me he could come out and replace it that same day. He even asked me what time was convenient for me? He was up front about the charges, which were beyond reasonable.
He arrived promptly and explained what needed to be done. Mike is extremely honest and wants to make sure his customers are treated fairly.
I will definitely be using him again for any plumbing needs and have already recommended him to my friends and neighbors. Michael replaced a broken water pressure valve (PRV) for me today along with a corroded shut off valve and a really old sump pump.
He arrived on time and did an excellent job. I love how he uses high quality parts for his work.
He explained everything to me very well and in detail. His work was also very clean and neat.
We'll be using him again for any future plumbing work. Highly recommended.
It's best to contact him via phone or text. Responsive, communicative, personal, up-front and well-priced service.
Called at 8:30pm, he called back immediately, requested pictures of my problem, diagnosed a solution over the phone, gave me a quote that was totally in-line with my expectation and repaired the issue the next day. Consulted on a couple of other questions I had and offered home-owner solutions.
No up-sells. A great plumber is a real find.
Highly recommend. Another 5 star review! The previous 22 5-star reviews are what convinced me to give MJW a try and now I know why all the 5-stars.
Mike is not only an excellent plumber, he gave a competitive quote, came exactly when he said, explained exactly what was he was going to do and did a great job. He is meticulous at his job! When he had to reseat our toilet, he did a better job that the original contractor, making sure to shim and then caulk properly.
He will definitely be getting a call the next time I need a plumber! Thanks, Mike!'''.
