I had a pretty size leak from different areas in my laundry room from my ancient copper pipes and so my boss advised me to call Howard Plumbing, so I did what my boss told me! Service was excellent staff was friendly. Then I meant Jackie he was beyond customer friendly, sure he was there to do a job but also, we talked like were "old neighbors!" It was all black and white nothing hidden. All went well and I will be using them in the future, thank to Jackie for his wonderful service and his business!!!! read more

They also handled a few residential repairs for us recently and everything was done perfectly. Always on time, quick to respond, friendly and trustworthy. Highly recommend! read more

Howard Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I had a leak in some pipes and was checking different plumbing and tried Howard plumbing.. They were less expensive compared to the last plumber I used. They cam e quickly and fixed the problems and it took until 10 pm/ It was long day for the tech and he was always upbeat and pleasant. So I then had them replace my old toilets and they were fast and did try to clean up afterwards after one of the toilet leaked on my stone foyer. They mopped it up. When I call their office I speak to a live person and she is very pleasant and nice. Really a good company that that answers the phone and has fast and competent service. read more

They've worked on 3 separate plumbing issues for me now and every time has been great. All 3 times, they responded to my call quickly and had someone to my house within 24 hours. The most recent issue I spoke to them Monday at 7am and by 10:30 that morning they had replaced my 40 year old, leaking toilet with a brand new one. The whole time they communicated what they were doing and possible issues so there were no surprises. I'm very happy with their service. read more

My project was to install a whole house water filter that removes cysts, most PFAS, lead, chlorine byproducts and hard water minerals. The team at Howard plumbing served me promptly and excellently. They facilitated testing my tap water first, then with my requirements, recommended a product that met/exceeded my needs. The install went smoothly and I was trained on the filter change and maintenance of the unit. The project was done within a 3 week timeframe at my convenience. The cost was reasonable for the expertise of service received and the quality of the filtration unit. I would recommend Howard Plumbing for their honesty and trustworthy work. read more

This company is the one to use when you need a plumber. They put in a toilet with a built-in pump for us that has worked just fine for at least 3 years. I did not know this item was available at all; expected to see a toilet and pump in separate pieces read more

Requested a price quote for replacement of p-trap in bathroom sink that had corroded. Howard Plumbing sent someone out to quote the job. Next day, Josh showed up to fix my problem. He was friendly, did an awesome job, and I am again pleased with the service from Howard Plumbing. I will continue to call them for any plumbing needs. Highly recommend! read more

We had recently remodeled our master bathroom. We have floor to ceiling tiles that are 4' x 2'. We noticed evidence of water leakage on the sheet rock ceilings from below the bathroom. Howard sent the A team. They were able to identify the source of the leak with selected holes in the sheetrock that allowed them to spot the problem. They contacted the faucet supplier and had the repair parts sent at no charge. The team returned and made the repair. This project had the potential to be much larger with a lot of collateral damage. The Howard team's expertise were able to minimize the scope and time to repair. Extremely happy with the service. read more

We needed a pipe replaced in our front yard from the water meter to the house. It was a major project that we thought would take 2 - 3 days. Howard Plumbing completed the work in one day and did an excellent job! The company has a great crew and the prices were very reasonable compared to another company that was trying to charge us $4,000 more for the same job. We will be using Howard Plumbing for all plumbing issues in the future. They are the best!!!!!!!! AP read more

Howard Plumbing provided great service. They repaired a leaking water pipe on my property. They were reliable, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. They located the leak underground, repaired the leak and they cleaned up afterwards. They were also very reasonable with the price of the repair and labor. I was very pleased with the work they did. They did a great job. I would definitely hire Howard Plumbing again for any of my plumbing needs... I highly recommend them. read more

So I just call them when a new need arises. read more

Always had a great experience with Howard Plumbing. They came out the day I called and fixed my split hose bib pronto. Great job! Thanks.

We have used Howard Plumbing on three occasions. All were executed professionally in a timely manner. The first was to repair of a leak in the pipe from out well to the house in the front yard. Patrick came out himself and hand dug the area around the leak, repaired the leak (a broken elbow), and filled the hole back in. He initially separated the grass and later placed it back over the area when he was done. The area looked like it had before the dig. The second time we used Howard Plumbing was for another well to house leak but due to the original plastic pipe cracking. Patrick diagnosed the problem and left his crew with direction on where to dig. They expertly removed the top layer of grass and dug the trench required to make the repair. Patrick came back and replaced the cracked section. His crew then filled in the hole and made it look like it had never been there. It still looks good now, three years later. Our third and most recent use of Howard Plumbing was to replace an aging electric hot water heater. Patrick did the job quickly and professionally at a competitive price. Howard Plumbing is now out go-to for any plumbing work. read more

Howard Plumbing was fantastic. Ian the tech was fast, honest and did great work. I highly recommend this company.

I was in a bit of a bind, and called this company randomly. Great service and honest work. Highly recommend this company.!!!! !!

Had my hot water line that was leaking under the cement slab replaced and installed a instant hot water tank with recirculator. Jeff was very experienced and professional. Reliable and finished the work on time. He discovered other plumbing issues during the install with my drain and made the necessary repairs. I will hire him again in the future. read more

Patrick (owner of Howard Plumbing) came out to our home to replace a old toilet in one of our guest bathrooms. 1. He was very professional. 2. Very knowledgeable and explained to me the difference between the standard toilet versus a high line toilet. 3. Quick and efficient. Patrick realized when he arrived that the new toilet he brought to replace ours was cracked. He immediately went to buy a brand new one and installed it without issue. 4. I inquired about having other plumbing related items upgraded around the house and he gave me approx. estimates to help me plan for future upgrades. Overall, Howard Plumbing was a great choice to use for our plumbing needs. We will definitely use their services again and recommend them to our friends & family. read more

Call Howard Plumbing first if you want the same great experience we had! For me to write a review is rare, even more so for it to be a positive one. Howard Plumbing did a such a great job for us that I was compelled to write this review because they more than earned it. Our 16-year-old gas hot water heater gave out and flooded our basement. After the initial stress and chaos with mitigating the water damage and contacting our insurance company, we started calling plumbers for help. We prioritized plumbing companies by how helpful and authentic their reviews appeared to be. We called a few but none could come out for days. Then we called Howard Plumbing. Tim & Michelle were great communicators: they listened, asked clarifying questions, checked for understanding and clearly outlined everything, including a quote that was in line or better than the others. Best of all they scheduled an appointment for the next morning! The Howard Plumbing crew was on time, efficient, courteous, professional, polite and more. A master plumber was on site to ensure all pipes and connections were in good order because we use gas. Good thing too, because at my request, he inspected our lines and discovered a gas leak which was promptly repaired. The crew installed a great new water heater (much more modern and a bit larger capacity than the old one), cleaned up, packed up and hauled our old water heater away, all in less time than I had anticipated. When all was said and done, the quoted price was the price we paid, we had a wonderful new gas heater installed, and we had the comfort of knowing our gas lines were in good order now. For the first time during our crisis we smiled. In conclusion, Howard Plumbing did a fantastic job! From Tim and Michelle, to their onsite crew, they inspired confidence in their ability to handle my repair and then proved it great service! As I said, I don't normally take the time to write reviews but Howard Plumbing truly exceeded my expectations. When you need a plumber, save yourself some time and call Howard Plumbing first if you want the same great experience we had. read more

bad bad service. did place a drain pip under garden, totally destroyed may entire garden, also damaged my drive way when he drove his heavy machine on both my drive way and grass land. After he finish placed drain pip, I saw those mountains and valleys in my garden land, ask him what should I do, he just simply reply that I have to add large amount of mulch. then additionally I have to spend another $4,000 to repair my garden and drive way. read more

I had a great experience with Pat at Howard Plumbing, and I would use them again. Prices were reasonable, Pat was super knowledgable, and he didn't try to upsell me or charge me for something that didn't need to be done. My gas hot water heater wasn't working, and it required a relatively simple fix. It should be noted that I had another plumber out the day before who told me that I would likely need to replace it and was unable to diagnose the issue. Howard plumbing to the rescue. read more

DO NO US THIS PLUMBING SERVICE! I have been looking for a plumbing service to do some drain work and new water heater in my basement and actually considered using Howard Plumbing. As luck would have it, I was driving down Ritchie Highway today (July 30, 2019 @ 4:55p) and I could see a white truck swerving in and out of traffic and speeding on open stretches in my rearview mirror. I didn't think anything of it until this truck came up behind me, twitched lanes, moved erratically to the passenger side of my truck and then abruptly moved in front of me. I had to slam on my brakes and cut my steering wheel to the left in order to avoid hitting this Howard Plumbing truck. The plumbing truck stayed in my lane for about 5 seconds then moved back into the lane to the right of me. I witnessed this careless driving behavior all the way down Ritchie Highway while vehicles in rush hour traffic were slamming on their brakes and honking their horn at this idiot driver. My point is, why would I ever hire anyone from this plumbing service who puts other people's safety and lives in jeopardy? There is absolutely NO plumbing emergency that is worth any type of vehicular injury caused by someone who was driving so carelessly. I am sure anyone, especially someone who has had a family member killed in a car accident understands that this type of behavior should not be tolerated. Especially from a company who uses this quote on their website: "As a family-owned and operated company, we strive to meet your family's needs on your schedule". A family-owned business would not jeopardize the possible destruction of a family with careless driving that could result in an accident and the loss of a parent or child. I belong to many parent groups in the neighborhood and my children's school and I am going to make it a point to inform these groups of my experience and make sure these families chose other plumbing companies for their needs. read more

Ended up going elsewhere solely on being able to do the job that day, otherwise customer service was great and pricing competitive. I'll definitely bookmark him for future business. read more

OMG Patrick saved our ass and showed up two hours after I called, during a snowstorm after a pipe burst and flooded our basement. He and his wife provided the best possible customer service and excellent work. If I were still young enough, I would bear his children. read more

We called a different plumber in the past. They came out and didn't fix the problem. Howard Plumbing came out today. He got into the wall, found the leak, and soldered a new pipe in place to fix the problem. The price was a respectable $230. He was here on time (unimaginable for most service businesses) and got the job done quickly. Overall awesome experience. read more

Howard Plumbing was very professional and courteous. My wife called in for a clogged drain and broken faucet, and scheduled a time that worked out for us. HP called the day that was scheduled and actually asked if we'd be ok with him arriving an hour earlier than planned - no problem with us! Within 30 minutes, HP had identified the problem, and cleaned our drain. I don't know what he saw and he never told - thank you, good sir. The drain now works perfect, and the faucet was fixed as well. I highly recommend HP to anyone looking for a plumber. read more

They did an outstanding job. Responded very very quickly and provided a very competitive price. Completed the work with a lot of challenges, but honored the original estimate. Even swept and vacuumed after their work. All employees were courteous and professional. Special thanks to Patrick, "the Mikes" and Joey. read more

I'm relatively new to the area, and a very new homeowner in the area. Therefore, I look to Yelp, especially when finding a specialized trade. My wife and i bought an old Colonial in Catonsville. The 90% efficient gas furnace in the attic has a condensate line that runs outside from the attic to the ground. Shockingly, when it got cold...the water in the line froze outside, which lead to a backup inside. Water freezes? Who knew? How the previous owners dealt with this I don't know. Nevertheless, HVAC companies wouldn't touch it, and recommended having a plumber move the condensate line indoors. In comes Howard Plumbing via Yelp. Patrick came to my home and took the time to really check things out, including squeezing himself over the furnace in the attic to get eyes on the layout of the potential fix. He came up with a great idea for the fix, which was really non-invasive since much of our home is plaster. He also agreed to snake the basement drain line when doing the larger project. The work was done this Tuesday. I believe the two gentlemen who did the job were Rob and Caleb. They did a great job, dealt with a few hiccups on the drain snaking, and did the best cleanup job of any contractor I've had in any home I've lived in. All with their shoes off - I didn't even have to request that. In summary, the price was great for the jobs; Patrick, Rob, & Caleb were all so responsive, professional, and easy to work with; and I can leave my heat on when it drops below freezing without worrying. This is a total Yelp win. read more

Two very nice guys came out and reconnected my stove. It took 6 minutes total. I was charged $190. I'm not sure what to say about that. They did replace may original hose, but $190 seems high--maybe I'm wrong. I should have asked for pricing up front. You live, you learn. read more

Used Yelp to receive three quotes for a leaky faucet bib and Howard Plumbing responded quickly with a reasonable price. When Tim came, however, he recommended trying to fix it, rather than replace, actually saving me $75 dollars off his estimate. That's a first for me. And now I've got an outside faucet and is no longer dripping! Thank you Tim! read more

I am so impressed. The work was thorough, efficient, and clean, and Jeff had the patience of a saint explaining to me what needed to be done. It was worth every penny (and I definitely was not overcharged). This company is going in my book of reputable contractors, and I am a tough one to please. Thanks, guys! read more

I would highly recommed Howard Plumbing. Great customer service and personnel are very professional. I called at 8:37am they gave me an eta between 9 & 10. The plumber arrived at 9:45 & finished up at 11:15. They completely cleaned the work area prior to leaving. We had a leak in the drywall ceiling which needed repair. I also felt the invoice was reasonable. read more

UPDATE: The company called back and delivered great customer service. They apologized for the misunderstanding. We were supposed to only be charged the service fee of $75 (completely reasonable), not the $160 hourly rate. I appreciate them reaching back out. If we need the work done after all, we will definitely consider hiring them for the job. It takes a lot to admit to a mistake and I commend them for taking action. ORIGINAL: I called them due to a plumbing emergency to see what was wrong. At first they were great, sending someone ASAP to check it out (much appreciated). And the tech they sent was very helpful. My husband wanted to be able to see the problem for himself before deciding to spend $385 to fix it as that's a large sum to drop unexpectedly. So we were going to call them back after he had a chance to inspect and we could talk about the options. But the tech's boss told him to charge me the full $160 (hourly rate) for a visit that lasted less than 5 minutes. I've never had an encounter like this. And we decided we won't be having them back to fix the problem. I appreciate their timeliness, but no one told me what (or even if) I would be charged for the service visit until after the tech inspected the problem. $160 is a large sum for 2 minutes when a previous plumber came out for a different issue and charged only $75. read more

These guys were great once on site. The scheduling experience was kind of hectic but in the end it all worked out.

I wouldn't let this guy or company do plumbing in a dog house.. wife hired him to do a remodel on my 2 bathrooms, had to re-pipe them 3 separate times each, destroyed my basement ceiling which by the way is a or was a layin grid system.. leaking waste pipes, leaking shower diverter. destroyed my marble tile shower floor. I'll be more then happy share any photos with anyone who asks.. read more

My boyfriend and I had our countertops and sink replaced and Howard Plumbing was absolutely fantastic. They were extremely competent, communicative and flexible. Our countertops were installed late last night (bc the granite company was late) and they sent someone out on a Saturday (of a holiday weekend) to reconnect the plumbing. We would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone. Worth every penny! read more

I had this company come out to our home to fix a plumbing stoppage. They never discussed pricing upfront....just went to work. Well 2.5 hours later Mike tells me he has bad news. He wasn't able to unclog my plumbing. He said he would schedule a time to come out and run a camera into the line to see if it was cracked and needed replaced. All good at this point. THEN FOR THE SHOCKING PART. HE TELLS ME I NEEDED TO PAY HIM. MY RESPONSE WAS I'LL PAY YOU WHEN THE JOB IS COMPLETED. HE SAID IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. HE CHARGED ME $515.00 FOR 2.5 HOURS WORTH OF TRYING. I'm sorry......if you don't get the job done you shouldn't get paid. What is this the NFL? I'd be okay with $100 or $200....but $515 for 2 and 1/2 hours and nothing accomplished? So I hired another plumber. He came out the next day. He said before he ran the camera he wanted to see if he could unclog the pipe. No luck. Take a wild guess what he told me? YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING SINCE I COULDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE. He said he work me up a price to complete the job. I said your hired! read more

I called on a Monday with a non-emergency, and was able to schedule for the next morning. Jeff from Howard plumbing was great. He fixed my leaking shower neck in no time at all and even replaced a dripping shut-off valve to my dishwasher so the "big box" chain store installer could finish installing my new dishwasher. Very reasonably priced. Thanks guys, top notch! I would definitely call them again with any plumbing concern. read more
