Get matched with top water main install, replace or repairers in Crumpton, MD

"Our home is about 9 years old and we were quite shocked to have a leak in our main water supply line coming from the street to our home. We contacted several plumbers and listened to their approach as to how they were going to determine where the leak was coming from and whether they were going to repair a section or replace the entire water supply line. After meeting with the different plumbing contractors, we learned different methods of running a new water main line since it appeared that we would need it. We received new pieces of information from each proposal. We did not like living without water, however; since it was a big financial commitment, we did not want to be pressured or feel rushed into making a quick decision. On Saturday evening we sent an email requesting a quote from Mahon Plumbing and much to our surprise, we received a call just minutes after the email was sent. An appointment was made for the next day (Sunday). Immediately after meeting Greg, the owner of Mahon Plumbing, we knew his approach was the right course of action. With 100% confidence, he knew we just needed a repair, NOT a replacement of the entire main water line. He quickly identified where the leak was originating and guaranteed that ONLY a repair was necessary thus avoiding any sidewalk, walkway, underground sprinkler system or landscaping damage. We knew he was the right person for the job. Greg was well EXPERIENCED, HONEST, UPFRONT, had INCREDIBLE INTEGRITY, AND RESPECT for protecting our home by NOT automatically approaching our project by using heavy equipment, tearing up our sidewalk, walkway, underground sprinkler system, and landscaping to make it an easier job. We hired him on the spot. We had lower estimates for the repair. Most people would have used his confidence of a repair and gone with the cheaper proposal; however, we knew that we would incur additional expenses to repair/replace our landscaping, lawn, underground sprinkler system, and walkway. In the end, if we chose the cheaper proposal, it perhaps would have cost us the same, if not more. It may have felt better to spend less upfront, but, in the long run, it was far better to hire the RIGHT person would do the RIGHT job from start to finish. It was wonderful to see our property taken care of with such pride, as if it were theirs. Our grass was restored perfectly and they even did a repair on our sprinkler line. They left our walkway, landscaping, lawn, and underground sprinkler system intact. Not only did they do a perfect job for us, they had respect for the BAY and cleaning up the debris so it wouldn’t wash into the sewer system. Sometimes you pay a little more up front, but it saves aggravation and additional unexpected expenses in the end. Separately every plumber submitted a proposal for a continuous running sump pump. Every proposal recommended that we needed to replace the sump pump. However, Mahon Plumbing suggested that it might only need to be repaired. Only the backflow valve needed to be replaced. Again, Mahon Plumbing’s approach was correct! A special thanks to everyone at Mahon Plumbing for performing perfect workmanship. If you are looking for a true professional, then Mahon Plumbing should be your first and only call. T"

"Very professional and replaced my hot water heater and installed a new toilet in about 2 1/2 hours Highly recommend!"

"Prompt response to request, on time for scheduled service, said he would return on Monday to finish up and even though our streets were not plowed (and he knew it), he returned at the time he said he would and completed the job. Courteous as well. Would highly recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing service."

"He did fix my toilets leaks and changed the fill valve and flapper. Meticulously done. Skilled worker. The next job we are planning to change my water heater"

"Mark helped us out when we were desperate for a repair and he did a great job!"

"Took it with him, called that day with the problem and price. He got the part,fixed the snowblower and returned it two days later. He also supplied a  book on taking care of the snowblower. Very good work, very professional. Will continue to use him as needed

"Overall, George's Painting does quality work at a reasonable price and they are able to start projects very quickly. They were also flexible on start date. So if those are your priorities, I would definitely use them.
However, be prepared to communicate largely by text and often have significant delays in hearing back from Anthony either in response to a question or a request for quote, for instance. In terms of punctuality, the painters did work over four different days. I had to meet them for two of the days as well as one day for the initial quote. They were on time for the quote  (though complained about meeting at 5:30 PM, which seems reasonable for working adults!) and one of the working days, but not the other (and I had to get to work, so that was frustrating). In addition, while the painting began at 7 AM on a Saturday (ugh!), I had to wait for Anthony to arrive at 9 with the paint and to go over payment and other details, so I couldn't go home and go back to sleep. The next day, I expressly said that they should call my husband as my phone would be on silent, but they still called me. I also asked the first round of painting to call an hour before they were done, but they called when they were done, so unfortunately, they had to wait an hour. There were also a few things they said they'd do for us, that they didn't do (and I felt we tipped generously). After asking for one, they did do it and the other was just more trouble than it was worth (leaving the banister to the basement off as we planned to replace it - they put it back on). There was also a room that I wanted to match the paint color that was there and the previous owners had labeled a paint can as being for that room, but it wasn't. While that's certainly not the painters' fault or the company, it would have been nice for them to say as they started "that color doesn't match - are you sure this is the right one?" before painting the whole thing and then me having to pay again to repaint in a different color (as opposed to just having to pay for new paint and them getting it painted the color I wanted the first time). Again, not their fault per se (esp the painters who may not have known the story nor had great English), but would have been a nice thing to do knowing my preference to match the color in the room. It would have saved them time and me money. They gave me a very good price to repaint the room knowing I was unhappy and also removed very difficult wallpaper on the second go-round.
So in summary, yes, I'd use them again. They do good work and are reasonably priced. But just prepare for some communications challenges.

"Floodbusters did an excellent job sealing the water out of our basement. They installed a sump pump and drainage system which they check annually. We were very happy with their service. Employees were polite and knowledgable. We highly recommend them."

"I was able to schedule an appt very quickly the initial time and the electrician, Danny, communicated with both myself and my tenant, as it was a rental property and arranged a time to stop by that was good for my tenant. The outlet suddenly started working before Danny arrived so when he got there he explained to me that he just made some minor repairs since he didn't know what to do because it wasn't broken at the time. About 10 days later, my tenant called and said that the outlet malfunctioned again. I contacted the company and explained to the person (whom I assume is the owner or manager) what happened and he contacted Danny and was able to get him out shortly after. Danny said he replaced the breaker for me as well as did some other things, which I was kind of lost due to the jargon. Anyway, they said that there will not be a charge the second time, which I really appreciate. Overall, great communication from both the manager/dispatcher as well as the technician, Danny. And they seem like they really wanted to help me resolve the situation as opposed to milking me for more money. This type of honesty in any business is a rarity nowadays."

"Pros: It went well, and the overall quality is good - they offered alternative solutions other contractor estimates did not (to help lower the cost). They take pride in their work and are willing to go the extra mile for satisfaction, even after work completion. Cons: We put our deposit in and signed a contract a few months before the job, and it wasn't until a week or two before the job we found out the material was discontinued (after we already selected paint color and floor design from separate contractor) We were forced into their schedule, after noting certain restrictions we had with working midnight shift. (for items like inspections and lingering things after the "scheduled" work was complete)."
