- SKSerge Kors4 days ago5.0Steve did all the work on installing the water supply and connecting to the sewerage in our new house in Bethesda. He is a very professional and responsible master plumber.
- BMBrian MacPherson6 days ago2.0Was stated $80 to come to home and give an estimate of work needed. Good with that. Tried to bill me $165. I didn’t fall for it. They eventually decided it would be $80. No work was performed. Just looked around and gave their opinion and stated they didn’t notice anything.
- SASarah AlliNov 26, 20255.0They answered the phone and had someone out the same day just for an assessment and quote. The gentlemen was very knowledgeable and was honest about the cost and what my options were. I didn't hire them for this job but they are now at the top of my list for the next one.
- TSTom ShoemakerNov 26, 20255.0I use Howard Plumbing for my yearly back flow testing. They've been fantastic for several years now. Not only are they fast and efficient with the test, they've always been great in providing information on any other plumbing related matters I may have questions about with honest and straightforward answers.
- MWMegan WatersNov 19, 20255.0Ryan is the best. He showed up early which is always a plus when you’re waiting for a service call. As a woman who has absolutely no clue about plumbing it was so refreshing to have an honest plumber not try to up-sale me or do unnecessary repairs that I would have no idea were required or not. Such a friendly guy too. We definitely recommend them!
