About Richard A. Cook Jr. Plumbing & Heating, Inc.
Richard A. Cook Jr. Plumbing & Heating, Inc. operates as a licensed plumbing and heating contractor serving Laurel, Maryland, and surrounding communities in Prince Georges County. The business holds a 4.3-star rating derived from 32 client reviews, indicating consistent service quality that homewoners in the area have come to rely on. The company maintains standard weekday hours from 8 AM to 5 PM with Saturday availability until 5 PM, providing scheduled service appointments for routine plumbing needs and water heater installations.
The company handles water heater replacements as a core service, including both traditional tank-style units and extended warranty options. Technicians perform supply-side leak repairs, sink fixture work, and dishwasher plumbing connections during single service calls. Reviewers note that the business offers cash payment discounts and applies diagnostic visit costs toward subsequent installation work.
Customers describe specific service scenarios that illustrate the company's responsiveness. A reviewer recounts that after a toilet overflow caused basement damage right before a planned vacation, the team arrived quickly and resolved the emergency, then referred her to a trusted cleanup company to manage the water damage. Another reviewer notes that technician Dave arrived early for a scheduled water heater replacement, completed the installation in approximately three hours, and demonstrated the new equipment's operation including gas and water shutoff valve locations before departing. A third client had the same plumber address a sink supply leak alongside two additional sink issues and dishwasher plumbing during one visit, all at a fair price.
What Customers Say
Three of four detailed reviews award 5 stars, praising same-day emergency response, fair pricing, and technician professionalism. One 1-star review describes a pricing dispute where the final charge exceeded an initial quote, representing the sole negative sentiment among verified client feedback.
