He is a nice guy, but he hasnt called me back. He was very professional, and gave me a reasonable estimate and everything went well, but he has not followed up with me for a while. And I have been unable to contact with him at all. I can get his receptionist, but he will not get back with me at all.

Description of Work: A plumber from M. H. Barnes recently replaced the leaky hot and cold water supply valves for my washing machine. This was a small job, but it was done neatly and professionally. The plumber arrived on time and was courteous.

Description of Work: We needed a toilet replaced. They were great at making a recommendation, checking to be sure it was the right one and installing on time. We had a leak and a flood a few weeks later (totally separate from the toilet). We called them at night and they were back to us first thing in the morning and came over shortly afterward. They took care of the problem. All interaction with them has been prompt and professional. I highly recommend them.

After using a seldom-used sink to wash an item (sink drain was plugged), the drained water ended up coming through the living room ceiling and was dripping on the carpeting. Technician found part of the drain pipe corroded with at least one hole. Some effort was required to access and repair the pipe. After this was completed, he found that water was not draining from the sink due to complete blockage of the pipe further down. It was necessary to break through the ceiling plaster to access these pipes. The blockage was found due to buildup of rust within the pipe. A section of pipe (that was accessible) was replaced with hose and he cleared remaining pipe as best possible. Entire repair has to be completed in three visits. I have not had any problems since. The company recommended a separate contractor with whom they worked to patch & repair the ceiling plaster. ** Side note: the company is no longer at the Rugby Ave. address; this property was taken over for future commercial development. I don't have their exact current address, but it is around NE Chevy Chase or near Chevy Chase Lake.
Description of Work: Water leaked from an upstairs bathroom sink drain into the living room below. Service tech replaced affected pipe(s) and cleared portion of drain.

Description of Work: Incredibly responsive and responsible. Our heat and hot water was out in the morning so we called and they sent someone within a few hours. The problem turned out to be a wiring short so they got an electrician to come and fix the problem before the end of the day.

I called M.H. Barnes in the morning and they sent out Shawn that afternoon. He was there on time and they called to let me know he was on his way. The bottom body sprayer had lost all water pressure. Shawn was great. He took it apart. Cleaned the screen out and put it all back together. I had a bunch of questions about how the body sprayer was assembled and where the screen was. He took the time to patiently answer all my questions. He was also careful to clean-up where he was working so it was left exactly how he found it. We have used Barnes before and they continue to provide quality service with friendly professional plumbers. I will continue to call Barnes for all my plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Fixed the body sprayers in the shower in our master bathroom.

Slow tub drain and leaky tub faucet. Also, slow kitchen sink drain. I called Barnes and spoke to Shawn. I make an appt for him to come out to the house. He arrived on time and was able to make all the needed repairs. He snaked the tub drain and replaced the inside parts on the tub faucet. I was glad he had the parts for the faucet that were at least 20 years old. Shawn also made a repair to the kitchen sink so we could use our dishwasher again. I've been a Barnes customer for sixteen years.

See above - great company!!
Description of Work: I highly recommend Barnes Plumbing. They kept me in the loop regarding ETA which is extremely important to me. The plumbers, Julio and Yanov, were professional, personable and very knowledgeable. They showed my what was wrong, discussed a solution and fixed the problem within an hour. And, cleaned up!! I'm confident that I was charged a fair rate for the work and I'm confident the work was done properly.Great company!

When I called the company, Sean was able to arrange a convenient time for service. He explained the billing method. Kevin arrived on time, with the tools needed. He quickly went to work. He knew just what needed to be done, so the work was completed quickly and efficiently. He was neat and pleasant. It was a very good experience for us.
Description of Work: Snaked a slow draining shower; fixed a toilet that was not flushing properly; fixed a tub drain that was stuck in a closed position; fixed the drain stopper in a sink; caulked soap dish.

We've been here for eight years and we have always used them. They are good. They are honest. Every single time they've been honest. We never feel like they are out to get you. They come in and they explain what they've done. They are just good guys. We've never had any problems. They treat us pretty well. We will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Barnes Plumbing & Heating. We last used their services probably three weeks to a month ago. We had a clogged pipe that caused a leak. They put a snake down and unclogged the pipe.
