    The failed inspection that M&S DID NOT pass, yet told us they did and continued work.
    Rebecca M.

    AVOID Michael & Sons (M&S) After more than 20 years as a loyal customer, this has been one of the most mentally and financially stressful experiences. M&S performed defective work, failed county inspection, and did nothing to rectify their faulty, malfunctioning work. In July 2025, a leak in my basement ceiling led their restoration team to open the drywall and discover a drain pipe installed with the slope inverted--meaning water literally had to flow upward to drain. Their own technicians confirmed it was installed incorrectly. When I reviewed my records, I found that Michael & Son installed this plumbing during my prior basement remodel. I also located the Fairfax County inspection report rejecting the work at the time and requiring the drain lines be reworked due to improper slope. (but clearly M&S didn't). Because this defect was never corrected, our basement suffered water damage and mold contamination. Despite providing the contract, inspection report, and documentation, the company has refused to take responsibility. After months of unanswered emails, shifting explanations, and no resolution, I've had to take legal action; a huge expense on top of what I've already paid M&S. Extremely disappointing from a company that markets itself as family oriented and quality workmanship.

    Text and picture from my contractor when he had to redo work that Michael & Son did.

    UPDATE reached out to the company representative who commented on my Yelp review and he didn't do anything but waste my time. Ignored my request for a refund on an estimate they were supposed to refund after I hired them to do the work. Then after telling me they couldn't reimburse for repairs someone else made on their work, said he wanted to see more info from my contractor. Sure dude let me waste more of my time and that of a company that had to fix your inferior work.

    Water heater number three
    John D.

    Without hot water(again) so I called and made an appointment. The tech responded right on time and quickly diagnosed the on going problem as the wrong type of water heater was installed by M and S less than a year ago (natural gas instead of propane). He called and got another tech scheduled for the following day. Tech showed up right on time and replaced the water heater with a brand new one. I asked if it was propane and he said yes. Fast forward a couple of days and no hot water again. Tech showed up and restarted the pilot and asked if I had propane or natural gas. Propane. Guess what. Another natural gas heater was installed again. Water heater number three was finally the correct propane model! M and S offered a discount on future service. Don't think I'll be using it.

Called Friday morning and the receptionist was amazing and got someone to our house that morning. Full diagnostic told us the compressor went bad. Our unit was 13 years old, so it was about time for a new system. We decided to replace whole system as replacing a compressor is quite expensive basically half the cost of a new one. Mike came that night to price out a new system. I got two quotes from other companies. But decided on Shanahan because of their reputation, service as well as pricing. Talked with Mike and Conner (the owner) about our options and they came on a Saturday to install even though they didn't have an opening until Thursday. The owner himself came with a couple guys and replaced our system. They were very polite, did excellent work and we were back up and running. Plus they had very affordable pricing. These guys care! Use 'em. We loved our experience from start to finish!

Inspection and replacement assessment team were extremely knowledgeable of the options available for my late 1980s townhouse. Installation team arrived on time, and the team worked like a well oiled machine to remove failing system and hook me up same day with a fantastic 2 ton TRANE dual stage system with surge protectors on both air handling and outdoor compressor units. If we have brown outs from the wicked storms we had early summer or electric surges from the backlash malfunctioning data centers, we are protected from complete destruction of our HVAC system that could cause a house fire. They offered generous sales incentives and now I have peace of mind. They also offer electrical and plumbing services. Recommend you talk with Shanahan's right away. I lost a lot of time shopping around. Wonderful family owned business.

I reached out via Yelp to five different plumbing companies in the NoVa area for quotes and an idea of when they could help me out. Arlington Plumbing Heating and Cooling replied to my inquiry within minutes. I received quotes from three companies and Arlington Plumbing's quote was competitive. I was sold by Arlington Plumbing's promptness to my request and their professionalism on the phone. It was 9am, and I was told I would have hot water by the end of the day. Arlington Plumbing Heating and Cooling delivered. I was given an estimate of the time they could do the work and over the course of the day I was contacted a number of times via phone that they were on track. Arlington Plumbing arrived at the agreed upon time, did the work with a professional manner, they did a great job of cleaning up, and I had hot water before my spouse arrived home from work. My spouse thought I was a hero, but it was really Arlington Plumbing Heating and Cooling that was the hero. Thank you. I will definitely use this company again when I have my next plumbing issue.

Quality DC sent Ben over and he found the problem right away. In 1 day, he got me the part and fixed it. And this was no small job.

I had water in the pan... why? The fan died. So my unit was freezing the dead fan & when it thawed, the water would fill the pan, set off the sensor and kill the power. Also, my unit is old. I bought the house 7 years ago and the AC was already there. I know the last owner. He didn't install it either. Ben got the right motor in 1 day. The price was perfect. I googled the motor price and he charged me the bottom dollar. I even had him over to flush the coil 2-days later.
