Get matched with top sink installers in Takoma Park, MD

Hi, I’m Xavier and I have been working in home improvement and repairs for 20+ years. I have experience in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, & handyman task. I love sharing my skills & ideas when needed. I love the reactions of happy clients.

"I called and left a message on Sunday about needing someone Monday. They called me back Mon morning and came in the afternoon quoting a visit price of $60 and would quote further work after examination. The plumber came at the beginning of the estimated time period and gave us a quote to install the faucet we had bought and replace both valves (one of which had stopped working) of $350 total. The work was accomplished quickly and professionally."

"Forget Len the Plumber. Use Eric Straus instead. He is efficient, professional, and reasonably priced. Due to a knee replacement, I needed a higher toilet and a grab bar. ASAP. I called Eric in the morning. Everything was done by late afternoon. He purchased the toilet for me and took the old one to the dump. He's friendly. You won't be disappointed in him. He's a gem."

"The finished master bath went beyond our expectations. This is an extremely professional team whose work meets the highest standards; they are craftsmen in every sense. The installation team are highly skilled craftsmen whose quality and work results would be difficult to duplicate. The materials, shower, tiles, and counter tops were of the highest quality. They maintained schedule and budget and finished near on time, a real feat in this time of material and parts shortages."

"Miracle Method did a great job resurfacing the floor, the bathtub and surround, and the shower and surround. Everything looks new. They even cleaned our existing shower doors to look new. They removed the toilets to resurface the floor and placed new wax rings when they replaced the toilets. The only negative part of the resurfacing process was the smell of the chemicals they use. We had to open a lot of windows to vent the odor."

"Perfectly! They fixed the mess made by the previous contractor, did a beautiful and quick job at a reasonable price. They were also very clean which was appreciated! I wish they did more things than just glazing! Definitely recommend."

"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"

"Our kitchen faucet was leaking all over the counter and underneath the sink. A technician from Crown Plumber was able to come out the same day and install a new faucet that we purchased from Home Depot. The technician was on time, professional, and helped determine that there were not other plumbing issues."

"- Plumber came and snaked the pipe. The water went down fine and he left. - Two days later the tenant said the kitchen sink was backing up again but he did not schedule an appointment because the problem went away relatively quickly. - Three weeks later Tenant sends me a video the kitchen sink being backed up again. Tenant was very clear they were careful to minimize any food that goes down the trash disposal in case it could clog up the pipe. I spoke with Definitive because I felt like I paid to have a problem fixed and the problem was not fixed; I felt some type of credit was in order. The plumber's argument was that 3 weeks had passes and that they couldn't warranty a service. Fair enough, but 3 weeks strike me as awfully short time frame, especially if food was not being thrown in the trash disposal. I googled this situation and it seems its customary and accepted practice that you pay for services rendered regardless of the results. Fair, that's fine. As far as the recurring clogging problem, it appears there are many instances where the snaking can break through the clog but can a) partially break the clog leaving grease and other debris on the sides or b) break the clog but not go down far enough whereby the debris will remain somewhere in the pipe and eventually build back up. Generally this seems to happen with amateurs that aren't thorough enough with the snaking and don't snake down far enough. It's true, my tenants could have stuffed a whole bunch of food down the drain but everything about them so far has been such that I believe them when they say they minimized the amount of food that went down the garbage disposal. To me the lack of thoroughness in the snake job seems more plausible which is why I gave them a D for quality."

"Great! Patrick responded the same day and gave me a quote of $150, as compared to $180 to $375 from other plumbers. He had to snake the pipes twice to clear the clog, but insisted he stick to his original flat rate quote of $150 despite my offering to pay more because he had to snake it twice."
