Zac,
Around 4 years ago, I made up a list of clarinet mouthpiece refacers. I just went over the list again but I was unable to find anyone close to the D.C. area.
Actually, I wouldn't recommend looking by area, but, by reputation as noted on this BB.
There are specific refacer names which appear over and over again by players who are extremely satisfied with the work that has been done on their mouthpieces.
Without knowing your playing level, i.e., amateur, semi-pro, pro, freelancer, or symphony player, I have no idea as to what level of quality work that you need to have done on your mouthpieces.
If you're looking for the absolute, top quality refacing work, the names most mentioned here on the BB (per my memory) are (in alphabetical order): Brad Behn, Richard Hawkins, Vytas Krass, Lee Livengood, Rick Sayre, David Spiegelthal, and Ramón Wodkowski.
Here is the list which I compiled around 4 years ago: http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=461271&t=461271
Please keep in mind that the prices quoted are from 4 years ago.
Hopefully, others will come forth with refacer names that they have had excellent results done on their mouthpieces.
