Very patient and thorough technician. He did a great job.
Jason and Travis are true professionals. They moved the water line for my refrigerator, reworked the kitchen sink pipes and reinstalled new lines for my bathroom tub/shower. Seeing as this house was built in 1954, this was no easy feat. They were in and out in approximately 5 hours with all complete. The only mishap…
Matthew showed up on time and was very professional. He took th time to answer all our questions and quickly diagnosed ans solved the problem. His work was very neat. He is a credit to the company.
Yavon was great. He spoke to us about what we needed and went to work. He updated parts for our toilets and was out of there in no time. Thank you!
Jason is a top shelf technician/tradesman, professional in every way. Jason replaced our shower faucet and resolved a cold water intake line blockage. He also replaced the main water shutoff valve on the first floor. Plumbing costs are hard to swallow but that is not the technician’s fault. I would recommend Michael and Son.
Editing my review to add (8/27/2026): our electrician Blake is top notch. He caught issues with outlets and potential moisture that I had no idea was happening. He replaced our outdoor outlets, which were no longer to code, quickly and effectively. Also just a genuinely nice person and enjoyable to chat with. Thank…
Started having major water pressures in my kitchen sink late in the day Wednesday and was able to get someone out first thing on Thursday. Mike Glavin helped me out with the faucet and identified the means to mitigate further plumbing issues with the town water supply that could result in additional repairs at my…
The technician showed up looking just like the commercial! He came up with a great field modification while replacing my outside faucet! I'm sure there's always someone that will do it cheaper but this company shows up and does it write the first time and treats you with respect and dignity. If this guy has not…
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jason and Michael & Son. Outstanding communication, timely arrival, highly efficient, and very willing to work around the schedules of some other trades during a kitchen renovation in an old house. Flawless. Highly recommend and will call again in the future without hesitation.
People like Peter are why we continue to call on Michael and Sons. Peter was great to work with, honest and thorough. Excellent work! We always come back to Michael and Son because of the people! What a great experience!
June 20, 2026 ★★★★★ We’ve been customers of Michael & Son for nearly 20 years, both in Chapel Hill and at our Northern Virginia condo, and they continue to earn our trust. Most recently, they corrected a faulty bathtub faucet that had been installed during a lengthy bathroom remodeling project involving multiple…
I woke up to the sound of running water in my tub and discovered that a broken mechanism made it impossible to shut the water off. I had to contact someone quickly because I did not know where are the new shut off was located. The water ran for 45 minutes before I discovered the shut off. Now we would have no water…
I called Michael and Sons and they came over within three hours. Our technician was a smart young man named Paris Rone. He was faced with an unusual plumbing request for an outdoor spigot on our open back porch. He was great to work with and understood a creative solution to my problem. I requested he cut into the…
Had a shower that wouldn’t stop trickling water. Alex was able to come out same day and helped get the part we needed replaced. It even helped our shower heat up faster and hotter. Will absolutely have him back for more work.
Excellent work like we’ve come to expect from Michael and Son. Great job Matt!
Friendly service, they know what to do , and they did a good job, I can’t complain about the service. Job done in less than 40 minutes. It was overpriced, job could be priced under $200.00. I paid taxes included $295.00 Just check prices in the market before you call them. The sink top faucet installation was…
Brayan went completely above and beyond during this repair appointment. He came in to help with our disposal (which was fixed quickly) and ultimately ended up fixing a long-broken shower and helping with long term plans to protect our water system and fixtures. He even fixed a lose doorknob he noticed!!
Amazing! Not only was it a Sunday, but Frank came out faster than anticipated and took a job that looked to be near impossible, and got the job done effectively and efficiently... And was super friendly! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Frank!
Gavin went above and beyond when responding to repair needed at our home ahead of the winter storm. He fixed the issue at hand and also identified other weak points in our water system that were vulnerable and needed to be addressed to avoid potential disaster if the storm turned out as bad as anticipated.
Fast, friendly, and professional!
