I got an early Christmas gift from my neighbor when his water heater tank burst and a bunch of…read morewater leaked into my condo unit. It was definitely a stressful situation, but Lee was very helpful and responsive to my questions and requests. Although Lee did not perform the job himself, Ivan and his team came out to repair the drywall and replace the carpet. Ivan was really great - he was courteous and efficient throughout the whole project, which took about 1.5 days to complete. Some highlights were: 1) The crew was able to start working almost immediately after I called Master's Construction. 2) Ivan worked very hard to find the closest match to my existing carpet. It sounded like he was checking out quite a few places until he found someone all the way in Richmond that had our carpet! (FYI, I live in Falls Church.) 3) Ivan ended up re-painting all the walls of my bedroom to ensure that the paint color was consistent throughout. Per my request, he also left behind the remaining bucket of paint so that I can use it again in the future. Thank you for all your help, Ivan and everyone at Master's Construction!

For all your plumbing needs, I HIGHLY recommend Martin Ramos Plumbing! Martin has come to our…read morerescue many times and we had another exceptional experience this week. We had a tricky outdoor plumbing issue that involved cutting through our foundation, walls, and ceiling, drywall, molding, and stone, all the way across the house to the main water source. YUCK, a nightmare. Martin successfully completed the plumbing portion on day 1. Then he spent the next two days repairing every surface to perfection. Not just good as new, better than new! Martin is without fail, pleasant and kind, and communicates every step of the process. He arrives on time and cleans up as he works. For all jobs big and small, you'll be happy to work with Martin Ramos: 301-768-3922.

Worst.Plumber.EVER! I had a garbage disposal that wasn't working and a bathroom drain that was…read moreclogged. In advance of my appointment, I asked Martin Ramos to check whether my garbage disposal could be repaired. If it couldn't, then he would install a new one. He sent Marcos, one of his plumbers, to do the job. That's fine. BUT instead of checking whether my disposal could be repaired, Marcos removed the old disposal and replaced it with a new one. After installing the new disposal, Marcos couldn't get it to work. He claimed that it was an electrical issue and that we'd need to hire an electrician to fix it. If Marcos had first checked the electrical connection to the old disposal, he would've realized that the disposal didn't need to be replaced. As a result, I paid $150 for a new disposal that I didn't need. It gets worse. When Marcos went to unclog the bathroom drain, he opened the drain pipe (that's fine), snaked the pipe (that's fine), but then failed to reconnect the drain pipe -- SEE PHOTO. Before leaving our house, Marcos claimed he wasn't sure whether the drain was unclogged by the snake. He would've known had he reconnected the drain pipe and tested it!! Instead he left our house with a garbage disposal that didn't work and a disconnected drain pipe that possibly wasn't fully unclogged. Marcos did insist on getting full payment before departing. How convenient. We called Martin Ramos right away. He came to our house later in the day to try rectifying the matter. While Martin reconnected the drain pipe and check the bathroom drain (it was unclogged), he wouldn't credit us for his crew's error installing a new garbage disposal that unnecessarily set me back an extra $150. Get this -- Instead Marcos offered to remove the new disposal so that we could return it to Home Depot for a credit, reinstall the old disposal, and charge us an additional $220 (beyond what we already paid) for an electrician to address the disposal. At that point, why would we return a new disposal for $150 so that we can get our old disposal working for an additional $220?! That's fuzzy math. So Martin left our house with a garbage disposal that didn't work and a $350 check that was quickly deposited by his business. But 30 minutes after he left, the disposal began to work as a result of an adjustment we made under the sink. NEVER use Ramos Plumbing! His crew is very unreliable and won't do the work properly, but his business is quick to cash your check. I would rate zero stars for Ramos Plumbing if Yelp would let me.

My insurance company referred me to DPS when we had water damage to our finished basement due to a…read more failed valve in our dishwasher. From start to finish DPS handled everything and kept me informed of the progress. They submitted estimates to my insurance, scheduled the various tradesmen, and even handled a change in scope after an electrical inspection uncovered additional damage. The project manager, Isaiah, kept me in the loop at every step and answered all my questions. He inspected the work as it was completed and wanted to be sure I was happy with the progress and quality of the work. Each of the teams they brought in was reliable (arrived when they said they would), left the work area clean, and did quality work. So happy I made the choice to use DPS!

Extremely excellent work and results! 5 stars to Mario, Caroll and the project manager Robert A.

I called and the owner, Greg Diggs, was so helpful and explained the steps needed in layman's terms. He also worked directly with our insurance company. He was very easy to contact and stayed in touch from day 1 and after the final payment was made. The work was completed in 1 day. The remains, debris, & nails, were cleaned up and he even came came out the next day to check our deck for more nails. High quality shingles were used for our new roof. We are extremely pleased with the work Montgomery Roofing provided and we HIGHLY RECOMMED THEM! 5+ Stars!!! We would definitely call on them again!!

It was four years ago when we hired him for an addition project and he didn't stick to his time frame or the quoted price of the written contract, bringing up all kinds of excuses. He apologized sincerely, and we thought it just happened "by bad luck " ( Marvin's words). I didn't write a review for him then, believing that things happen.... We made a big mistake to hire him again for the second floor addition on top of the room he had built. The estimate was made in February, The job was started in April- estimated to be completed in July/August. We agreed to the price he quoted and payed the half for the beginning. After stripping the roof and putting the frame on top of the existing room, we found out that he didn't get the permit and had to stop the project until the approval. Our house got flooded several times because of the heavy rains. The tarp that he put up couldn't hold the weight of the water, and each time it rained, we had to be there to constantly dump the water out. The new floors and the walls got ruined; used and unused materials- destroyed. He would not respond to our calls or text messages, until we have decided to take a legal action against him. I am wondering how does he get any good reviews, which certainly do create a false impression.

A con man of the highest order!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read moreHis recommendations which I naively agreed to ,proved not only to be not only outrageously overpriced,but more importantly completely superfluous and resulted in me ultimately having to hire someone else remove what he installed AND repair what damaged he caused and then begin the initial project from the start!! One example:His estimate for tightening a kitchen cabinet ran into thousands of dollars!! He came up with some convoluted explanation about the wall of the cabinet needing to be rebuilt, the dishwasher needing to be removed, the wall next to it needing to be totally rebuilt ,the adjacent door also needing to be taken off, then needing to repaint the doors .....and on and on. Another workman showed me that the screw just needed tightening and refused to even charge me for such a ridiculously small 'repair'! He guaranteed his work for a year. The tile work he did on one tub has resulted in puddling on the floor every time the shower is used. It's been 3 months since he was paid in full for ALL of his work. Two weeks ago I contacted him to fix the puddling problem. No response ! Since my call to him the puddling is only one of a number of things that that he worked on that isn't working properly! His "WARRENTEE " isn't worth much since he doesn't respond even 3 months into the first yr! Must of been his wife or mother who wrote the favorable review before mine. I give him, his work and his word zero stars!

Not only was Oded prompt, honest, transparent, and fair, his work was simply superb. He goes the extra mile to ensure that things are done right the first time. We had him install new light fixtures, cabinetry, baby proofing toilet latches, replace a garbage disposal unit and even assemble and install a custom walk in closet storage system. The custom closet system was not originally in his area of expertise and Oded was frank and honest about it. He could've fooled me because it turned out beautifully. His scrupulous attention to detail and patience are hallmarks of a genuine professional. His price isn't cheap, but it's not expensive either. For the work he does, he expects to and should be fairly compensated. If you want to roll the dice with other handymen, be my guest. I trust and intend on calling Oded back for continued home maintenance to ensure my family's most valued asset is properly maintained.
