I recently bought a house in the silver spring area and had a sewer backup. I called Jamie and he came out to the house right away. He and his crew snakes out my drains and had my system unclogged in no time. Jamie and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and knew how to get the job done right. Highly recommend! read more

I had a clogged toilet between Christmas and New Years, so I was glad that James Burkett came to fix it. However, he quoted me $2xx (two hundred something) over the phone but charged me almost $400 after the work, even though I don't think there were any complications. From what I recall, he wouldn't accept a check for the difference (this was many years ago), so I had to go to an ATM to get cash while he waited in my driveway. read more

James Burkett is THE plumber to call if you want to pay market rate and yet have someone cut corners endangering your home and family. I hired James to run a gas line (let me repeat that, A GAS LINE) to a new stove and to replace the water heater at the same time. He did not pull a permit for the gas line, which, of course would have meant that in the event of a problem, like,...er...an explosion, my insurance would have paid nothing. He also did not install the line up to code requirements. When I asked him why he didn't install a permit, he said, "We master plumbers can do these things." LOL. I tried to reason with James for weeks, which then turned into months, asking him to please pull a permit. I finally decided to go to WSSC and have them issue him a citation. And THAT'S what it took to get James Burkett to install the gas line properly. Ugh. So much aggravation caused by this man. And you know the worst part of it? I'm pretty sure I went to high school with this local boy. Yuck. read more

James helped us design our second-floor bathroom remodel and did all the labor several years ago The result was a functional attractive bathroom from what once was a nightmare of outdated plumbing and decor. Years later, we still love it. Our heating system plumbing needed some repairs before winter, and we of course called James. He and his assistant have been professional, capable, and responsive. Couldn't be happier with his design, remodeling, and repair. read more

I needed a copper line rerouted for a radiator in March 2013. He sent two hacks with nothing more than a torch and clumsy habits. After three hours of fishing for parts and scratching their heads they wound up flooding out a bedroom. I called James, who said he would make the situation right, and asked that I not call Serv-Pro, etc., for clean up. He committed to surveying the damage the next day, and did not. Told me had some issue with his mother, did not hear from him for days. In the meantime, he cashed my check for $500. After a couple weeks of run-around it was easier to write off that amount, plus approximately a grand in other damages and many headaches with much wasted time. read more

Tim Whistler Plumbing, Gas Fitting, HVAC, and Electrical

I'm very pleased with the service that Saul provided and would definitely use Tim Whistler Plumbing…read more& Gas Fitting in the future. There was an initial mixup about the appointment time, but that was soon sorted, and Saul contacted me prior to his arrival and arrived on time. Quickly getting to work, he identified the problem with our gas insert. He was able to fix the immediate problem to return it to working order and then explained what was happening and why. He also provided what next steps would be for a more permanent solution. It was a very professional, friendly service call.

The main problem and downside is that they are very expensive and overcharge. Despite the Yelp page saying that the company provides a "free estimate", I was quoted $49 for the technician to travel. In addition, if I had not chosen to go ahead with the repair, the company would have charged me an additional $150 diagnostic fee. Essentially, despite the yelp profile stating a "free estimate", it will cost you closer to $200 to get a quote. I see this as false advertisement. In addition, when the technician concluded that the problem was the capacitor, I received a final quote of $600. When I googled the price of the same capacitor online, the price range was in between 75$ - 150$. Essentially, they are charging a premium of at least $450 per replacement for a single part (capacitor). Despite their professionalism and quality work, I do not recommend this company for the reasons stated above. If price is not a concern for you, and you would rather pay twice the market value for a job then you should definitely choose them. EDIT: I actually googled the price of a capacitor and offered to buy my own. I was told that by the technician that if I purchased my own capacitor that the company would not install it. In conclusion, they did not address any of my concerns. Unfortunately, after reading the other bad reviews, there seems to be a consistent pattern of discrepancies between what they tell customers and what they instruct technicians to say on site. Making an honest living is so much more rewarding than making it dishonest living.

Let me start…read moreby saying that I was so excited when Earl informed me that I could receive same day service. I sent pictures, discussed the process, pricing, and even what to expect and how others prepare once the water was turned off. The men arrived on time, they were greeted and then proceeded to tackle the four hour project. After removing my system, I was presented with price gouging ...$350!! I was informed that the pipes would have to be replaced because my system was corroded! During this conversation, I noticed that the *meter was still in place!! Earl informed me that the *meter would be removed and reinstalled in order to get to the water heater out of the space; I was remembering that it wasn't removed with the prior installation. After sending multiple pictures, giving the year that my home was built, and believing I was dealing with exceptional professionals, I was not expecting any surprises. After being presented with an unexpected fee, I called Earl and he didn't take responsibility for not informing me that there could be a chance that the condition of my pipes could be an issue ... at this point I'm remembering to breath and just asking Jesus to take the wheel!! "Supply and install new manufacture required expansion tank and relief valve vent tube" was included in the initial proposal. Looking at the before and after pics, the condition of my pipes was not an oversight! Please be careful and request an itemized statement with the proposal b/c Earl informed me that b.c the *meter was not removed, I received a credit and only owed an additional $100 ...what a shame. Thank you to the men who did the work and left my home spotless!! Blessings.

He claimed to have spoken with my tenant, understood the issue, and could come later that day for an inspection. He stated clearly that there would be a flat rate inspection fee of $59.95, as advertised and above message sent to me via your Yelp page. I provided my credit card number based on that agreement and waited for updates. By 8 PM, I had received no call. Upon contacting my tenant, I learned that the plumber had visited, did minimal work, stayed for less than an hour, and left. I immediately checked my credit card and found an unauthorized charge of $495. The next morning, I called your number but received no answer. When I reached the plumber directly, he admitted he was going to call me but chose not to because it was "too late." He claimed the $495 was a "inspection fee" and that an additional $450 would be needed to complete the repair. We had a brief dispute, and I informed him I would pursue this matter through formal channels. I have since disputed the unauthorized charge with my credit card company and am awaiting resolution. Meanwhile, your continued efforts to contact the property owner through third parties to seek payment are inappropriate and unacceptable. I hereby put you on formal notice of the following: Your advertising and initial representations were deceptive and constitute fraud; You intentionally avoided contacting the cardholder at the time of visit under the pretense of it being too late; You charged a significantly higher amount without authorization; No actual repair was performed since the water was still leaking. and I have written statements, messages, and screenshots from multiple tenants to confirm this. You are instructed to cease all informal contact attempts with me or any associated parties. This matter will be resolved solely through formal and lawful means. If you believe you have a legitimate claim, you are entitled to pursue it through legal channels--as am I. All further communication from my side will be documented and may be used in future legal or consumer protection actions.
