I'm Mike, and Chevy Chase is one of the neighborhoods I know well. I've done hundreds of jobs on both sides of the line — DC and Maryland. A lot of homeowners aren't sure which side of the border they're on, or whether a plumber will even come out to them. I don't make that complicated. I work the whole area.
The homes here are beautiful, and most of them are old. That means galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and plumbing that was installed before your parents were born. It still works — until it doesn't. When something goes wrong, you want someone who's already seen it a hundred times.
I've been doing this for six years in DC and the close-in Maryland suburbs. I'm licensed in DC, bonded, and insured, and I've done over a thousand jobs in this area. I know what's behind the walls in these homes because I've been inside them.
Highly recommended on Nextdoor in Chevy Chase and Bethesda.
Bathroom & Kitchen Remodeling in Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase homeowners remodel. The bones of these houses are good, but the bathrooms often haven't been touched in decades. I handle the full plumbing scope — rough-in, fixture installation, shower and tub hookups, supply and drain work. You don't need a general contractor just to get the plumbing done right.
For tile and finish work, I partner with Capitol Tile Designs. We've worked together enough that the handoff is smooth and the timeline doesn't drag. You get a finished bathroom, not a plumbing rough-in waiting on someone else to show up.
Before any work starts, I walk you through exactly what's included, what it costs, and how long it takes. No surprises mid-job. If something unexpected comes up once we're into the walls, I tell you before I do anything about it.
Older Homes, Familiar Problems
After six years of working in Chevy Chase and the surrounding neighborhoods, I see the same issues come up again and again. These aren't random — they're what happens when a house built in 1952 hits its 70s.
Galvanized Pipe Corrosion
The most common issue in pre-1970s homes here. Galvanized pipes rust from the inside out. The water looks fine until it doesn't, and by then the pressure has been dropping for years. I'll tell you honestly whether a section needs replacing or whether the whole supply line is due.
Low Water Pressure
Usually it's corroded galvanized pipes narrowing the flow over time. Sometimes it's something else. Either way, I diagnose it before I recommend anything. I'm not going to sell you a full repipe when a targeted repair will fix it.
Aging Water Heaters
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is older than that and acting up, I'll tell you straight whether it's worth repairing or time to replace. I install gas, electric, and tankless units — whatever fits your home and your situation.
Drain and Sewer Backups
Tree roots and old clay sewer lines are common in this neighborhood. I use a sewer camera to show you exactly what's going on before any digging happens. You'll see the footage. If there's a problem, you'll know what it is and what it takes to fix it.
Why Chevy Chase Homeowners Choose Mike
When you call my number, I pick up. When I schedule a job, I'm the one who shows up — not a crew you've never met. I've built most of my business through word of mouth and Nextdoor referrals, which means every job matters.
I answer the phone from 7am to 9pm, seven days a week. For emergencies, I'm available after hours. If you've got water where it shouldn't be, you don't have to wait until Monday.
I'm not going to upsell you on a replacement when a repair will do the job. That's not how I work, and it's not how I've kept customers coming back for six years. Call or text Mike at (202) 555-0147.
