Capitol Hill Plumbing

I used to manage the Roosevelt and Disler Apartments on Capitol Hill for 10 years and Good Services (Capitol Hill Plumbing) were my Plumbing Company of choice. Their technicians are seasoned, knowledgeable and professional. The service prompt, reliable and very friendly.
Rarely had to call them back in for the same apartment twice, which was not the case with other plumbing contractors I used occasionally.
They are not the cheapest plumbing company around, but very reasonably priced for the exceptional service you get.

Oh, Pleeeze. I had a leak at the turn-off valve of my toilet on the main floor of my 11-yr-old townhouse. I was charged $158 plus tax for wha could not have been more than 20-25 minutes of work. Since no ""parts"" were priced out on the bill, with tax I paid $173.01. Now plumbers still aren't lawyers.....are they?

Day after Thanksgiving I ended up with a clogged kitchen sink. These guys were able to get me in under 2 hours. The plumber was super nice and professional. Fixed the issue with a snake -- in and out in under 15 minutes. Thank you!!!!!

Aaron got everything working like clockwork. Mainly the hot water is back on! Good experience overall from start to finish with Good Services (aka Capitol Hill Plumbing). Called to get some information and was immediately passed on to the owner, Bruce, who was very helpful and said he would try as best as he could to find a technician to come out ASAP. No later than 5 minutes later did I get a call from Aaron, one of the techs, and scheduled an onsite fix for the following morning.

Aaron came around the appointed time and found the issue immediately with the Rinnai tankless water heater - apparently the issue was the gas line to the heater was not on! He flushed out the Rinnai system and inspected the furnace. Aaron was friendly, knowledgeable and did the job we asked him to with 2 thumbs up.

Overall time it took to do all this was around 3.5 hours (he had to run to the store for cleaning solution, and may have also taken a little lunch break ;P). Price seemed reasonable.

Overall a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend Good Services. Hot showers, here we come! Thanks again Bruce and Aaron.

I've only written one other review, for I'm looking for exceptional, one way or the other.These guys are the best. I tried Capitol Hill Plumbing after reading the yelp reviews because I got myself in a pickle. I took out the stem of a tub/shower hot water , which was leaking in an intolerable slow drip for a rental. Just wanted to replace the washer. When I tried to put it back together, I was stymied. The seat, which usually screws deep into the wall plumbing, simply would not. In despair, I called CHP (also called ""Good Services."" Steve came out within a bout two hours and was confused, too. Finally, he figured out that it was very unusual (1967 plumbing) and screwed into the stem itself. No parts exist for this, so we put it back together and it didn't drip for the moment. Steve told me where to go to order a new stem made. I got the bill and --guess what?-- no charge. Yes, no charge. He explained on the bill that he was also confused initially (nice touch) and that ""we"" figured it out, as in together. They suggested newer faucets and , by gum, they will be the one to put them in because , how dang fair can you get? I want to buy the guy a dinner, a drink or a pack of smokes at least. This is old-fashioned service that is just plain decent. Try to find that at the rip-off ""start freakin'"" places.

had them replace a water heater that leaked. Cost about $1280 installed for a 50 gallon Bradford white gas unit. Did some research and found out that they charge just about middle of the road.

The installer (Rob, I think) was very nice and courteous. I give them credit for customer service, promptness, and making sure to answer all my questions and provide options and advice when necessary.

Three stars (A-OK) for a smooth transaction. Will see how the water heater holds up over the next year or so and upgrade my rating.

One last thing - if you're looking for a water heater replacement, I suggest you explicitly ask them to install the new heater inside a drain/leak pan (mine wasn't on one, thus water damage). I was a little annoyed that Rob didn't suggest (or better yet, just do it). Kinda too late once its installed. My only recourse now would be some sort of moisture alarm. That sorta thing is much more effective if there was a drain pan to set the alarm in!

Steve came out to my house to fix a leaking tap outside, and also fixed my water wasting toilet. He was fast, professional and very nice fellow. Great experience - it's good to find an excellent plumber nearby in Capitol Hill

I cannot rave enough about the service here. I had a badly leaking bathtub faucet that had moved from a drip to a constant dribble. Not good. The fixture is an older Grohe model, something that regular hardware stores don't stock... Steve showed up when he said he would, took a look at the problem, snapped a few pictures, and said he thought they might have the parts I needed in stock at their shop.

He showed up the next day, exactly when he said he would, and had the parts in hand. He fixed it expertly, and then unclogged the tub for me as well just because he's a good guy! It was also way cheaper than I'd expected. These guys are total pros, and very easy to work with. Highly recommended.

Our hot water heater on the 3rd floor burst. Fun. We turned off the water and searched for a capable plumber. I called around, checked prices and availability and found Capitol Hill Plumbing. They were reasonably priced and able to come the next morning with the right replacement. Sean arrived and hauled his gear (and hot water heater) to the 3rd floor. I should have specified ""must love stairs""! He was knowledgeable, professional and quick. Solved some mysteries about our system and left with smile. All better!

I live in a super old building and had this really awful leak in my tub that I had paid 2 other plumbers too much money to (not) fix. I was afraid it might take re-plumbing the entire building to get this leak to stop. A friend recommended Capitol Hill Plumbing. Rob came over and he knew what the problem was right away. He told me what the other plumbers were doing wrong, and then fixed my leak in less than an hour. I am grateful.
