I had 3 separate technicians come...one from plumbing...one from electrical...and one for heating and AC all working the same day. All called me prior, came on time, were knowledgeable and pleasant. Although it took about 5 hours, i was expecting much longer since I had so many things that I wanted done. Its several months later, and my toilet, sink, heat/AC, and lights are working wonderfully!
Description of Work: Old and broken toilet was not working properly, so new toilet was installed. Old kitchen sink was leaking and dripping, so new sink was installed. Old kitchen sink pipes were clogged causing a lot of backup for dishwasher to not function well, so pipes cleaned out and some replaces. Replaced clogged and non-functioning garbage disposal as well as its decrepit switch. Shower flow was not working properly, so technician made sure it flowed properly and that water went up shower pipes instead of down drain. Old as dirt chandelier had to be replaced, so chandelier was replaced and throughout technician offered to fix light switch that did not turn on. Light fixtures were added outside in kitchen and hallway also. Checked AC/Heat systems.

Michael & Son has performed numerous projects in my home and I have been pleased with their knowledge and workmanship. I do not have anything negative to report.
Description of Work: I have been using Michael & Son for several years for various services. They have installed a water heater, a sump pump, two HVAC units, a humidifier, cleaned air ducts, and done miscellaneous electrical work. I also have an annual service agreement with them for my HVAC units. They are always very professional, knowledgeable, and neat. The HVAC Manager, Eddie Smith, leads a well-run organizaion and has always been responsive to my concerns. I believe their rates are very competitive especially for such a large company that keeps their employees well trained. The employees that I have spoken with speak very well of the company and management. The company is also expanding into Southern Virginia and into Pennsylvania. I would highly recommend Michael & Son to anyone who is in need of their services.

I own a 22 year old townhouse. In 2009, one of my four toilets quit working and a technician (from another company) told me it needed to be replaced. I called Michael and Son since they carried TOTO toilets and they sent two technicians who installed a TOTO Drake 1.2 GPF two-piece elongated toilet with cyclone flush, "soft-close" seat, and SanaGloss finish in Cotton White. The technicians spent quite a while informing me of how the toilet worked and how to best take care of it. I absolutely loved this toilet. At the time, I had three teenagers (and their friends) in the house. With my old toilets, I used to cringe when someone used my builder-grade toilets. It was so embarrassing when they clogged; we had to have a plunger in every bathroom. My eldest son got married and when my daughter-in-law got pregnant in 2012, they moved in with me. I decided to replace the other three old toilets. This time, I wanted two ADA (americans with disabilities) toilets since they are higher; one for the master bath and one for the basement apartment. I again phoned Michael and Son. They told me TOTO had improved on the Drake series since 2009 and now offered a Drake II in the ADA style with a double cyclone flush. So, I ordered two TOTO Drake II 1.2 GPF two-piece elongated ADA toilets with double cyclone flush, "soft-close" seat, and SanaGloss finish in Cotton White and a third toilet just like the first one I bought (since it is lower) for the bathroom my grandchild will use. The new Drake II toilets are fantastic!! They use VERY LITTLE water, the double cyclone flush makes sure all parts of the bowl get clean, and the SanaGloss finish means you don't have to clean them as often. As before, the technicians went out of their way to make certain I was completely satisfied. They put on "booties" so they wouldn't scratch my floors, they hauled away the old toilets, they tested the toilets once installed to make sure they didn't leak, and cleaned up after the installation. In addition, they had to pass by my washroom on the way to the basement apartment and noticed water dripping on the floor. I had a defective front water shutoff valve that two other plumbing companies had not been able to fix. To keep my basement from flooding, I improvised and hung a bucket on the valve to catch the drips, forgot to turn off the valve, and the bucket overflowed. The technicians took a few minutes and fixed that valve! Michael and Son plumbing division is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend them without reservation.
Description of Work: Service performed: purchase and installation of four TOTO toilets; one in 2009 and three in 2012. Note: In 2009, I researched toilets on the internet and found that TOTO toilets are the best. I was surprised to find they are the largest toilet maker in the world. I learned that I could buy one online and have it installed by a plumber; however, if there is anything wrong with the toilet, the plumber is not responsible and I would have to deal with the online company. So, I decided to purchase one from a local plumbing company and have them install it, even though it costs more to do so. To my surprise, I had a very difficult time finding a plumbing company who even carried TOTO toilets in Northern Virginia. It turns out that though people will spend zillions on their cars, they don't want to spend money on toilets. I sent emails out to 20+ companies (that service my area) requesting a price for the purchase and installation of a Drake TOTO toilet. I only heard back from ONE of them, Michael and Son. I was adamant that I wanted TOTO toilets and only TOTO toilets. I liked the looks of the Drake series and this is what Michael and Son carries. I wanted a 1.2 GPF (gallons per flush) toilet and the SanaGloss finish. I requested an elongated seat instead of a round seat just for personal preference. I also wanted a "soft-close" seat since the regular type of toilet seats often harm children's hands when they close. TOTO toilets are quite expensive; however, Michael and Son charged me the same price that plumbing companies in Fairfax County and Montgomery County had quoted; however, neither of these companies would come to Loudoun County.

The plumber came about 2 hours after a 5 hour scheduled window. Problem was a leaky copper pipe. He took down 5 sections of a dropped ceiling and did not replace them(I was not physically able to do that at the time) He cut a hole in drywall ceiling in hall -messy cut. He charged $695 to cut and replace a 4 or 5 foot straight pipe. I later had entire line replaced by a local plumber for under $500. When asked to check a leak from bathroom, He kicked KICKED the toilet trying to loosen it. Never again.

First guy that came and snaked the line, then said we needed a new disposal for $700-800 dollars (outrageous!). We bought top of the line disposal on Amazon.com and had it installed by Sears. Line clogged again shortly after install (a few days). Called M&S second time to fix the clog problem which they did at no extra charge by snaking the line again (further out). Competent job, but very high charges and bad advice from first guy.

A plumber sent from the Home Warranty Company told us that he could unclog the mainline drain in our basement. He told us some elaborate reason as to why the drain was clogged and told us that our basement might have to be dug up to correct the problem. Our Homeowners Insurance company said that Michael and Son was the best in the business so we called them. Not only were they professional, but very knowledgeable and they unclogged the drain and we have not had any problems since. I would recommend them to anyone. They're not the cheapest, but they are the best.

The estimate was to give to the Montgomery County Consumer Protection Agency. Their estimate for the work done to my condo that already was done by the condo's management company plumber, RA Gray, was to prove RA Gray had overcharged me. Basically all they did was put in a pipe and a shut off valve in a coat closet, and they charged me over $1700.00. Michael and Son's estimate was $1275. The other company that did another estimate was less, but, Montgomery County Consumer Protection Agency wanted me to submit both of those and they both provided them to me to submit to the Montgomery County Consumer Protection Agency. I paid Michael and Son's for the estimate and was glad to.

This is the second time Donald Monroe, a plumber working for Michael & Son, came to my house. Donald replaced a leaky bathroom faucet and cleaned out the sink drain. I provided the materials - a Delta faucet kit - and Donald was able to reuse the old brass & wood handles that Delta no longer carried. The installation was perfect - faucet works smoothly, drain is clear and runs fast. Donald cleaned up the sink and removed the discarded faucet & packing material. Donald is an excellent plumber with exceptional customer service ability. In the future I definitely will request his service!! Thank you GG

I liked that they are located throughout the city that they can get to me accommodating. What did I really care was their prices were high and I was pretty surprised by that. The technician that they sent out, he just wasn’t in sync with my needs I was trying to tell him because I was remodeling my home, and he just didn't seem to be in sync with it, so I went with another company who is also on Angie's List and I am having them do the work now.

They did send someone else out to correct it. The person who came back was very competent and very knowledgeable unlike the first person. We would never use them again based on the first person but the other person was really good. They also tried to upsell us on everything. Instead of dealing with the problem, more of their emphasis was on trying to sell us other things they could do. We will not be using them again. They were the only company that was willing to come out. When the house was struck by lightning the fire department turned off all the fuses and they came quickly but we were not happy with the first person.
Description of Work: We used Michael & Son Services because our house was struck by lightning. They were supposed to put in some type of fault to trip it so that if lightning damaged the circuit, it wouldn't come in the house. They put it on the wrong circuit which we didn't find out until 3 weeks later.

I only paid for the estimate and not the install because the price was too high.
Description of Work: I called Michael and Sons to install a toiliet in my bathroom. I was promptly called by a company rep to schedule a service date. The plumber/technician arrived on time and was very courteous. My shock came when he gave an estimate of over $350 dollars to install a toilet where there was no existing toilet and the plumbing was all new. I told them never mind and paid them the mandatory $29 estimate fee. I went to Lowes, where I purchased the toilet and arranged for them to install the toilet, which includes haul away of an old toilet (if you have one) all for $150. Here's the kicker- the company they use for their installation is Michael and Son... I ultimately had a family member put the toilet in for me for free. They seem like a very professional company, but the prices are way too high. I was considering having them do several other things in my house that I don't know what the normal cost is, but not now, considering I knew in advance how much someone should pay to have a toilet installed.
