What customers most often mention

Reading through them, the same few things come up repeatedly: that the technician explained what was wrong before doing the work, that the crew arrived when they said they would, that the site was left clean, and that a second problem found along the way was pointed out rather than quietly ignored.

Those are the things we train for, and they are also the things that are hardest to prove in an advertisement — which is why the reviews are here rather than a list of adjectives about ourselves.

Where else to check our reviews

Reviews published by a company on its own website are, reasonably, taken with a pinch of salt — including these. Independent profiles are worth looking at alongside them, and our Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn pages are linked in the footer of every page on this site.

If you want to check the license rather than the reviews, Sam & Sons Services LLC holds Virginia DPOR contractor license #2705070610, which you can look up directly with the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation.

The plumbing, HVAC and electrical work we are reviewed for

All five trades under one Virginia contractor license: plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical, handyman and home repair and remodeling. Plumbing and heating and cooling are Northern Virginia only; electrical, handyman and remodeling also cover Washington DC. See service areas for the full list, or contact us to book an estimate.

Leaving a review of your own

If we have worked at your property and you would like to leave a review, call the office on (703) 256-8080 and we will point you at the right place. Critical reviews are as useful to us as positive ones, and more useful than silence — if something went wrong on your job, we would rather hear it directly and put it right.

How we publish reviews

Every review on this page was left by a customer of Sam & Sons Services. We publish the text as it was written — we do not rewrite reviews, shorten them to remove a complaint, or compose them ourselves.

What we deliberately leave out is the customer's identity. Each review is attributed with initials and the name of the street only — never a full name, and never a house number — along with the city and state. That is enough for a neighbor to recognize the area and not enough for anyone to find the house. If you have left us a review and would like it removed, or attributed differently, call the office and we will change it.

Where a customer names the technician who came out, that name stays in. It was their experience and their words.

Frequently asked questions

Why are reviews shown with initials instead of full names?

Because a review does not need someone's full name to be genuine, and publishing one exposes a customer who was doing us a favor. We show initials, the street name without a house number, and the city and state. That is enough to show the review came from a real household in the area we serve, and not enough to identify the property. If you would prefer your review shown differently, call the office.

Are these reviews edited?

No. The text is published as the customer wrote it. We do not shorten reviews to remove criticism, we do not rewrite them for grammar, and we do not write them ourselves. The only thing removed is identifying information about the customer.

Can I see reviews on an independent site instead?

Yes, and we would encourage it. Reviews hosted by a company on its own website should always be read alongside independent ones. Our social profiles are linked in the footer of every page here. You can also verify the contractor license itself through the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, which is a harder thing to fake than a testimonial.

Do you have reviews for every trade you offer?

The reviews on this page cover plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical, handyman and remodeling work, since all five run under the same license and the same crews. The volume is not even across trades — plumbing and handyman work make up the bulk of what this company does, so they make up the bulk of the reviews.

What happens if I am not happy with the work?

Call the office on (703) 256-8080 and say so. Labor is warranted for one year, and on permitted work the job is not closed out until it passes final inspection. A problem raised directly is a problem we can fix; a problem raised only in a review is one we find out about too late to do anything useful.
