Juan is a very good guy and was very helpful.
I was scheduled quickly for same day - Elis was fantastic, he took the time to not only explain the issue with my hose bib, but also show me how it failed. The replacement was fast, and everything is working as needed again. Thank you!
Peter and Francis did good, quick, professional work. They diagnosed what two exterior pipes were on our house, and they capped an exterior spigot. Quick and easy for me, which I appreciate.
Elis was just great! Repeat visit for a different issue. Efficient and knowledgeable. Replaced the outside spigot without an issue!

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.

Another faucet handle leaking. Worn cartridge. Decided to replace others as well since I at aatter of time. Requested Angel since he has done excellent work for us. Angel called on his way with ETA. He had the the 3 faucet handles done in a 90 minutes. It wasn't an emergency, but we got an appointment next day. That's very nice as well. Thanks.
Jordan Joseph, who did several plumbing related jobs, was excellent. He kept me posted, answered all the questions. He was very timely, patient and even came back on our request for some change, without any fuss. Would recommend him strongly.
Ryne and Jordan were both courteous and professional when they responded to plumbing emergency calls on a weekend. I recommend the company and their experts.
Ryne called when he was on his way and was on the earlier side of his appointment time. He made suggestions and listened to our needs and in the end resolved our main issue. After the appointment, I noticed another problem outside that he handled quickly for me with no charge and offered suggestions of DIY things I…
Great service

He cleaned up the excess water under our sink and replaced our water heater damages. He was really a lifesaver!!! I would recommend this kind gentleman to anyone for any plumbing issues.
Both crews, Gaspack and Furnace/AC, were very good. They worked hard and steady. They finished a little ahead of schedule. Tyler kept me informed and explained every thin when they were finished. They cleaned up at the end and it was like they were never here except the new systems work great.

Made a request online Friday night for a plumbing issue, Luis came first thing Saturday morning. He not only worked to fix the issue of a defective FloodStop, he went the extra mile to reroute the pipe so that it’s easier for future plumbers to get at if the problem ever recurs. Great service!

Had a weekend plumbing emergency (damaged shower valve) and got 24-hour service to replace the valve (starting at 6:30 pm, finished by 8:00 pm) so that we could turn the house water back on. Unfortunately, it was very expensive ($1,900) and the only choice of fixtures was of lower quality and doesn't match. Also,…
