Best Plumbing Services in Detroit, MI

Have used Advanced Plumbing for large and small projects. They have been great. Quick friendly service. The staff is very knowledgeable. The owner is hands on.

The good: They are good at getting to the house in a timely fashion and they are very punctual.

The bad: They are EXTREMELY expensive. They charge $120/hour PLUS a $70 trip fee, which is outrageous. They also don't expect to get the job done in one trip because they may need parts. That is understandable.

I had 3 things that needed to be done: a kitchen drawer was stuck needed to be put back on its tracks, a dripping handle in the tub needed to fixed and the stopper needed to be fixed as well, and a plunger needed to be put back in the sink.

The sink turned into a debacle because one sink was installed on top of the other -- a fact unknown to me until Stephan tried to fix it. When he was spending too long on this job, I told him it was not that big a deal, but he'd gotten to a point of no return (the sink was leaking) and he actually had to call in his boss to help. They spent several hours on this just to get it back to where they started. Fortunately, they said they did not charge me for the time spent on this part of the project.

Stephan took care of the kitchen drawer in about 15 minutes. He was able to get it out, straighten the rail and put it back in. But, the drawer still makes a scraping noise.

The bathroom handles did, indeed need cartridges. When I sent the video and picture before booking the appointment, the office manager, Cindy, told me that it would probably need a cartridge.

I'm not sure how long Stephan spent with the faucet and stopper, as I'd long lost track by then. But when he left, hot water was pouring from the faucet, even after I turned off the handle in the adjoining closet. The water filled up numerous buckets. After 3 days, I was finally able to get it to stop pouring by using a needle-nosed pliers and leaving it attached to the screw.

When Stephan came back with the parts, he was there for maybe a half hour. I was charged $347.95 for this job: 2 hours of labor + one trip fee. The parts were $37.95. I found this OUTRAGEOUS, as it is nearly 10 times the price of the part. I do appreciate that they didn't charge for 2 trip charges or the time that he spent on the sink, but, given that they knew from the outset what the likely problem was, I find it unconscionable to charge so much. Further, it was $100 more than what they estimated. And adding insult to injury, so to speak, there was dirt in the tub and dirty footprints on my rug!

While I found Stephan pleasant and the company convenient, the next time I need odd jobs done, I will go with someone who is independent and doesn't charge and arm and a leg.

I'm impressed and floored and all the nonsense I am suggesting.  Two young people come and fixed what was supposed to be fixed. Wow!

After a clogged drain, I called around, and spoke to Shaun, who was super helpful.

He had same day availability, and offered to even squeeze me in the following day without an emergency fee.

Both of the guys who came out to snake the main line were friendly, and didn't mind answering my questions, and they were pretty efficient with their time, not to mention, very inexpensive for their services compared to some of the other quotes I had received from other companies.

I'd highly recommend them.

I can't be happier hiring Dave. We have had really bad luck with plumbers. This guy was super friendly and professional. His quote was extremely reasonable for the work he did. I got the feeling he did exactly what he would do for his own house or his family's house. I can't say that about too many contractors.

He inspected and cleaned up after the job and made sure we were happy before he left.

Do yourself a favor for 2019 and hire Dave for your next plumbing mess.

Shiloh was incredibly helpful in getting our project completed. He was friendly and did a great job to get our plaster torn out and replaced with drywall to prep for new backsplash!

Tony was wonderful: super knowledgeable, nice, not expensive, great. Our basement flooded and he fixed both our water heaters (we live in a two flat) and then gave us advice about how to dry out the washer and drier on our own. Really understands the quirks of old Detroit houses! Highly recommend!

Paul and Jesse were professional, efficient and friendly.  Even though we were expecting to be charged an after-hours fee, they arrived early and just charged the regular rate.  They resolved our issue quickly. I was very impressed with their courteous and professional service.  I would definitely use Oak Electric again and will request Paul and Jesse.

These guys came and did what another plumbing company couldn't do last week even after 5 hours, a huge bill, and an unholy sewer mess left in my bathroom, which left me scrubbing it with bleach for over 6 hours after they'd left.  On top of it, after the other company said they'd fixed the problem, I had a flood that ruined the wood floor in my dining room from the obstructed line that they claimed to have fixed.

A & R Plumbing did it,  and did it right; they kept me posted at every stage of the fix, cleaned up after it was over, and fixed the obstruction that the other guys couldn't fix.  Sam and his colleague were great.  Sam said he doesn't quit until he finds the problem and he was true to his word. These guys are the ones to call when you want the job done right the first time!
