I called Cardinal for their expertise in running high-tech cameras through HAVC vents to spot moisture and structural problems. Stephen was on time and very friendly and patient with me as he imaged 2 of my vents, which I could also see live on a screen. He was knowledgeable about the unique construction of my 1963 home and discussed mitigation strategies for slowly deteriorating transvite HVAC pipes. As I was a first-time customer, there was no charge for his services. The company's communication regarding the visit was excellent. His visit gave me great peace of mind and clarified a timeline for going forward on HVAC vent replacement.

Nice enough guy arrived on time, but prices he quoted were outrageous so I had to ask him to leave. Two shut-off values under bathroom sink needed to change. This requires less than one hour. Cardinal's charge? An astonishing $1150.00 Insane. No thank you. Luckily he called to quote prices before doing the work. But here's the catch - their Google Maps review is 4.9 with over 900 alleged raters. Beware - this company has learned to game the Google rating system. I called another company (Fort Hunt Plumbing) and they charged $200.

Cardinal never got to the repairing of the leak (drip) in my shower head. They came looked at the problem, misdiagnosed what had to be done. They were 3.5 times higher on the minimum side and 6.5 times higher on the top end of another contractor who I chose instead. They never gave me a written proposal as requested and didn't call me up back after the initial diagnosis. I'm glad they didn't. Their pricing was totally too high and they tried to oversell me for the job. I would never recommend or use them. JM
