Best Businesses in Arizona

We had two plumbers out here to try and tell us what the noise was coming from our master bath pipes before and they couldn't tell us what it was. KUDOs to Sheldon Babcock, owner of Babcock Plumbing, who correctly diagnosed the problem yesterday before he even did anything and today fixed it with no extra work to be done after him. He told us that often copper pipe is incorrectly installed in the ground (often stepped on or kinked by rocks and left that way instead of being more careful), and that the kink (which was pretty minor) causes turbulence, which can weaken the pipe wall, causing a leak. He was spot on! The leak was under the slab, in the dirt, underneath my wife's vanity in the master bedroom. He was worried he might have to take up some tile originally but was able to confine the operating area to under the sink, only having to cut through the bottom of the cabinet, installing a new access panel when he was done ( which is covered by a pull out drawer anyway) . Worth every penny... If you need a plumber in the Scottsdale area, give Sheldon a call! Also, props to The Locator, for finding the exact location of the leak, too!

Showed up within an hour to fix my water heater - and I live in Patagonia!

Great guy.

I was very happy with Howard Family Plumbing. A young man named Chase Foster came out the same day I called. He was so nice and very professional. I would definitely recommend this company.

10/23/2013 - I do not know the reason why Kent Mortensen would overcharge a repeat customer, but he did that to me today. Maybe he used me to make up for another job that cost him more than he expected. I have used him in the past and have been very satisfied and that is why I called him for a small easy repair. He markets himself as a friend in the plumbing business. Until now I thought I had one. We are very close to his office. I wont go into details but I am still stunned how much he upcharged the parts and charged me the full $95 service call for a quick 15 minute job.

Our air conditioner went out suddenly and we were so thankful that the temperature was still low.  Picture Rocks sent Alex today, he listened respectfully to what my husband had checked already and immediately asked to look at the computer board that runs the unit.  He found it was a tiny fuse that protects the computer board and knew just what to do and got it done and in no time at all we had cool air again!  Oh, we even got a text message when he was on his way to our house!  Thank you so much Picture Rocks.

These guys are the best.  

Over the years we've used them for many things including hot water heater replacement and garbage disposal help.  

The most recent experience was having my pipes rerouted from under the slab to the attic.  They helped us with every aspect and walked us through the drying folks and the insurance adjustors.  

Can't say enough wonderful things about Mike Davis Plumbing.

There are a lot of choices out there when hiring a handyman. Do yourself a favor and make the right one. Hire and trust in Russ! 5 stars for sure!

I was overwhelmed with lingering projects and decided to hire a handyman to complete them and free up my time. Finding Russ was a blessing. Communication with him is easy and he always responds timely. His attention to detail is remarkable. A job done by Russ is always done with exacting precision. He's friendly, personable, and proven himself trustworthy. He can have full access to my home without any reservations. No matter the job, small or large, simple or complex, you can be sure it will get done right if Russ does it. Russ is now my 'go to guy' for any repairs or home improvement projects.

Yay!!!  Mike at Bumblebee Plumbing came to my rescue AGAIN!!  I had Bumblebee do some work on my bathroom about 5 months ago.  Now as I am finalizing my remodeling work, I discovered that there was a mix-up in the way the hot and cold water came into the bathroom.  But with the new shower tile and everything all in place, I was dreading the prospect of more demo just to fix that problem.  I called Bumblebee, and Monica was confident and friendly.  She told me that it would be covered under the warranty!  Mike came out at 8am the very next day, and was able to fix the issue within about a half hour---without having to do ANY demo! This company is full of people who stand by their work, and truly care. Thanks Mike!!!!

I was Very Impressed with Mark from the beginning.  I had no problems getting two free estimates from Mark.  There was no pressure or trying to sell me additional things I didn't want or need.  
I told Mark from the beginning I was already getting multiple estimates for the work I wanted.  That didn't bother Mark in the least.  
Mile High Plumbing was the Most Reasonable Estimate I received out of seven total estimates for the same work.
Mark was even nice enough to work around my work schedule.  
Mark kept his price to the estimate and I didn't have to argue or haggle with him about anything.  
The Work Mark did was Excellent.

I think the local plumbers have some kind of a pact going or something. Everywhere I called quoted a couple grand to lay a gas line. Not even a long one. My dad dug the ditch which reduced the quote in half. However, that is still over 4 times the average work rate. So they did this back in the beginning of August. I finally got the invoice 2 days ago. Not only is it not signed by anyone, because I am stationed in CA and my dad was there for it, but there's a line about placing a lien on the property if it isn't paid in 20 days. I called yesterday to find they were already closed. I call again today, earlier, and they all went home early. I left a message with them yesterday to call back and received nothing. These people are scammers. Stay away.

Great, prompt service.  Had some toilet issues, and the rep came out and took care of it in about 15 minutes.  Reason for 4 stars was the price.  69 dollar service fee and 99 dollar labor fee... So total cost was 168.

I just wanted to say that Affordable Plumbing goes OUT OF THEIR WAY to save people money.  We had David over for a repair that we needed near the water supply line.  His expertise in removing and replacing a faulty valve was so quick and efficient, it was clear he wasn't there to rack up hours.  He also fixed a leaky faucet in the bathroom in short order while he was there.

But here's where they shine.  We had a problem with a knock/vibration that was somewhat intermittent but worsening.  The obvious repair was to replace the PRV.  We know this because it's been replaced twice before with no success in terms of solving the problem.  No one really knew what to do about it, and we more or less gave up.  Mind you, water enters our home through the master bedroom just a couple of feet from where my wife sleeps, so when the knocking would go off it would wake her several time a night.

Angelo listened to what we had done previously and rather than throwing his hands up (as another company did), or once again suggesting we replace the PRV, began to give us some small instructions on things we could do and report back to him, to aid in his diagnosis.  Turning certain fixtures off, or adding food coloring to our toilet tank to see if there were any subtle, internal leaks that could cause the problem rather than coming out and having to charge us a ton to poke around.  In the course of our investigation, we caught a lucky break.  The knocking was going off louder than ever before and when I went outside to look at it, low an behold I could hear the same noise at a different pitch coming from my neighbors property.  I poked my head over the wall and where THEIR water entered their home (at their garage), it was banging like crazy.  You could physically see his pipes shaking.  I took a short video, sent it to Angelo and he called me right away.  It was our neighbor's PRV coming apart!

I contacted the neighbor and let them know what was going on.  He got right on it and had it replaced with his plumber.  Wish he used Affordable, just sayin'.  Problem solved!  Angelo was willing to guide us through this process at no charge when he could've had his men out here doing everything under the sun chasing down a problem by systematically throwing parts at anything and everything that could contribute to the problem.   He knew how expensive that could be and did everything he could to spare us from that.  We won't use anyone else.  Period.

I had previously called a local unknown plumber (Marc Strickland of Noble 9 :( ) in a panic because I woke up to my bathroom flooded, he said he could be at my house within an hour. Wow, thank goodness, I said!
But OMG! It turned into a nightmare! Long story short, Bradley of Bradley Plumbing came out and turned a Nightmare fix  that included, zip ties and hack sawed off PVC tubing in my toilet tank ( seriously not exaggerating!) Bradley fixed the nightmare plumbing I was left with and restored my bath into professional perfection. Truly ! Thank you Brad for going the extra for me. I will highly recommend your services to friends, family, Public Posts & I will definitely be calling on you in the future!

This company saved the day! My a/c was not blowing cold air and this happened mid day, I messaged a few businesses on yelp and Andrew was the first one to get back to me. They were able to come out later that night and check out what was going. They do charge a service fee but it does get applied to the overall bill which is nice as well. They were able to fix the problem with a recharge of my system and we now have cold air. I will definitely be using this company for any problems I have in the future with my HVAC. I highly recommend!

Very costly plumber.  They told me I needed repairs costing a few thousand dollars.  I brought in another plumber who did entirely different repairs for a couple of hundred dollars and everything works perfectly.  Smith deserted me about halfway through the job--either I paid thousands of dollars for unnecessary repairs or they wouldn't come out!  Their plumbers do not come out in a company-owned van.  They are actually freelancers who drive a personal van or pickup truck.  They disappeared from my house for two hours during lunch and charged me for it.

Great communication, and a very positive service experience. Jeff G was a top notched service technician and answered all of my questions. Will use them again in the spring.

The owner Ron Hull is a criminal and should be in prison. Do NOT go anywhere near Able Refrigeration! If you have or had any problems with this company, contact the Attorney General's Office. I'm serious!!! Ron Hull is a CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the absolute worse company I have ever felt with and I do not recommend them to anyone.first the person on the other end makes the determination whether or not someone is sent out they wait 4 hours to tell you that to place a claim you need to call thier office and pay and they do not send anyone if they think it's something you need to pay out of pocket. The customer service is rude and I say run do not walk before you sign a contract with these people.
