Best Businesses in Charlotte, NC

Jason with Julian's plumbing was fantastic. He did everything that you dream and hope that a plumber will do but usually doesn't. He was EARLY, he called 30 mins ahead of time as he promised that he would, he was clean, respectful, charged exactly what he'd said and got the work done quickly and properly.

I called and talked to Bret, he came by and looked at my hot water heater within one hour.  Water heater needs to be replaced and it is scheduled for Monday.  Very prompt service.  This company comes highly recommended by my neighbors and I totally agree.

They sent a guy out same day to give a free estimate to fix a problem with my septic tank. Problem is, the estimate was ridiculous. Guy was a fast-talking wheeler dealer and I suspected their estimate was WAY too high and even then they hinted it could possibly go higher. Called two other places to get comparable estimates and ended up getting the same repair done for exactly HALF of what this company wanted to charge me. Saved thousands of dollars by not dealing with Option One.

My review is based largely on the level of E.R. Plumbing's customer service.

My water heater was leaking badly from the top of the tank and I was able to figure out that the expansion tank that sits between the water heater and my water supply was punctured. I could've done the repair myself using a $40 replacement tank from a big box store, but ultimately I decided I didn't want to overlook anything.

A technician was able to come out that afternoon. I explained my issue and that I wanted them to install a new expansion tank (I did end up purchasing one myself) and also inspect the system in case there were other problems. I was told that there was a minimum fee of $110, even though it was probably going to take only 20 minutes. I cared more about the peace of mind though, and I was thankful they were willing to use the tank I bought -- after tax and the service call fee, I'd end up paying over $200 for labor.

By the end of the visit, I felt like the service didn't measure up to the price. I wrote a review about it here and the owner (Dave Parker) replied right away. I went for the afternoon but by the time I got back, I had a couple of emails and missed calls too. I emailed back and forth with Dave throughout the next day and he went way above my expectations to make things right again.

I chose to remove my original review because I believe my experience was uncharacteristic of the service that the company wants to provide. They might not always hit the mark on the first try, but they're willing to hear genuine feedback and they'll go out of their way to make sure that you can rely on them again.

One note about the phone number on Yelp -- it might take you directly to a voice mailbox. If you need to get someone on the phone right away, try calling the number on E.R.'s website.

What an outstanding company to hit rand work with. We encountered an issue with our water heater Saturday morning. We called our home warranty company so they started a claim and had routed the job to a local contractor. I hang up and my phone rings it's Carolina plumbing pros to lathe rescue. Dorbi showed up and diagnosed the issue in 5 minutes. While we had to wait for the weekend and the manufacturer to open and warranty the part, they weren't kidding. One the part arrived at my doorstep Dorbi was at our door to help fix the issue. Within 30 minutes we had warm water.

God bless this company and the staff at Carolina Plumbing Pros!

Easy and fast install of the tankless water heater.  Price was reasonable, and he helped out with our basement grinder too!  Thanks!

Great service, would hire again, and recommend to friends. They were very quick to call me immediately after I requested the quote. Very easy to schedule with, and the work was perfect. Had them fix a leaky tub, and a running toilet.

Thanks for the help!

I had an obvious underground water leak in the front of my property. The sidewalk, that divides the the grass along my front curb from the lawn on my property was showing (leaking) water. Angelo from Pure Flow Plumbing in Cover, SC immediately diagnosed the problem. He said it most likely was the main water line that feeds into the house and that a tree root probably damaged the line. He was right. Unfortunately this line was under the concrete sidewalk. Angelo did a great job cutting a narrow path through the concrete, locating the broken section of water line and replacing that section. He then repaired the side walk by poring concrete and smoothing it out. Had it not been for rain, he would have finished the entire job in one day. It was great having an obviously experienced, knowledgeable person who was able to do both repairs. As a bonus, Angelo was also prompt, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Pure Flow!  (Al. Ft. Mill, SC)

Very happy with Charlotte plumbing. They answered the phone, which is rare at 6pm, and we're very helpful in getting my situation under control until a plumber could come the following morning.

Ricky was the plumber who arrived on time and answered all my questions courteously while working. The problem has been resolved for a very reasonable rate.

Will continue to call them when I have plumbing issues

Tim was very helpful giving us the financial part of this and making it not quite so bad.  Especially compared with Morris Jenkins and their absurd quote.   I am very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend this company.   We've already talked to them about a tankless hot water heater.   Give them a call!!

I've used Chad multiple times for projects around my house and cannot recommend him highly enough.  He is responsive, shows up on time every time, does great quality work and his pricing is fair.  I've had him complete a variety of projects to installing hardware on my walls, electrical work (new lights, outlets), assembled/installed furniture and a variety of other projects around the house.  He is a true professional and you won't regret leveraging him for your projects!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike Garvey Plumbing.  I have called on Mike two times in the past 2 months for work I needed done at my home.  Mike is very prompt, professional and knowledgeable.  I work full time so it's crucial that I can make an appointment and have the service person show up when they say they are going to so my whole day workwise is not shot (on top of a plumbing bill to boot!!)  Mike has been here exactly when he says he will be - And he always calls prior to the appointment letting me know he is on his way which is an added bonus.  He is very friendly (not intimidating) and very knowledgeable and explains things so 'a woman can understand'!  Being a woman -not knowing much about plumbing I always worry service folks will take me to the cleaners as I do not know when something can or can't be fixed or to what extreme the repair should be - aka $$$!   Do not hesitate to call on Mike Garvey Plumbing - no matter how big or small your request is.  He is AMAZING!   And at a very fair price!

Highly recommend WyattWorks for their professionalism, work quality, response time and appreciation of a satisfied customer.  We needed a plumber on an urgent basis (probably not a lot of plumbing situations that aren't urgent) and they were right out.  The charges seemed a bit on the high side but I attribute this to the urgency and would still use this company again based on the value.  The special touch was the thank you note sent by the team thanking me for their business.  Nice touch.

HIGHLY recommend Brian Long Plumbing! I live in an older house and needed major plumbing work done. The first company I called quoted me $2000.  I asked friends for recommendation and they recommended Brian Long.  I called and am so glad I did! They were able to complete the work at a fraction of the quote I received and did it so quickly! Top notch service and professionalism! I had a leak under my kitchen and put a bucket there to catch the water - Hugh was kind enough to dump the bucket of water out for me!

We called Cain's a few months ago to re-pitch the sewage line in our crawl space so that our chronically backed up toilet would function properly. They were quick to respond, completed the work in FAR less time than I expected and came in a couple hundred $ less than a large name plumbing company. We called Cain's because we suspected that other company was trying to gauge us saying it would cost $1,000. We were so glad to get a second estimate . It cost around $600 with Cain's.

Now to today, we had our disposal clog after hours Tuesday night and also noticed that the sink was leaking when it was filled with the backed up water from the disposal. They weren't able to make it out Wednesday and we were fine with that. Ours wasn't an emergency. Yes it was plugged up and inconvenient but we understood that there were more urgent jobs than ours. We scooped the water out of the sink and put a bucket under it and were fine.

Before they arrived, we realized that there was a loose hot water handle on our bathroom spigot and that the tub was draining slowly. I know plumbers must roll their eyes that one request turns into multiple issues by the time they get there but since we have to pay the expense, we might as well get it all fixed rather than pay for another visit.

Cain's guys were awesome about the extra requests. No attitude, no acting like it was a problem. They were totally professional.  Their plumber and another plumber in training came out Thursday around 11:45 and were gone by 1pm. In just over an hour they
- cleared the jam in the disposal
- had to replumb under that sink to fix the leak
-cleared the hair out of the slow draining tub (I blame my husband)
- tightened a hot water handle
- secured a tub handle

All in just over an hour and it cost around $211. Absolutely reasonable and their guys are great. It's such a relief to have a company that we can call in a pinch.

And they came in wearing masks without us having to ask. I am an immune suppressed person and was stressed that it would be awkward if I had to ask them to wear a mask but they were already masked when they arrived. THANKS GUYS!!!

This company installed a water heater for us. Part of their sales pitch is to service and clean/flush for the life of the unit.  Is the heater is having some problems and needs it's first service and this company won't call me back. I have texted Dustin Williams and called, he hangs up on me and tells us we have the wrong number. Don't do business with this company unless you don't care about service after the install. Any implied warranty from them is useless.

Ask for Tom. A real pro and you don't see that very much these days. He is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Gosh, I find it AMAZING that none of the 1-2 star reviews are the currently recommended ones.
PLEASE PLEASE look at ALL the negative reviews. they outweigh the positive!!!!!
The review I just wrote on 1/16/14 is not currently recommended. you have to click around to view ALL the reviews.

TOTAL RIP OFF. They were prompt, yes. And I knew we'd pay a little more in an emergency situation.. but $1600 for a 40 Gallon gas hot water heater is just WRONG when Lowes/Sears, etc. have them for about $400-$600. Oh but there is a  6 year warranty! BIG DEAL. Again, Lowes/Sears have ones with 9 year warranties that still don't come close in price to Morris Jenkins. (And I'm sure to have them install still wouldn't bring it near the $1600) Also, they didn't install it that night. We still had to wait until the next day. I also still can't trust that the tank had ruptured and wasn't more than a loose hose. The times we've had them out for HVAC maintenance, they ALWAYS try to sell new units This one won't last much longer. Its sad when you feel they're trying to take advantage every single time they talk to you. I hope my $1600 water heater pumps gold water. But my husband is a sucker and was the one dealing with all this. Well played Morris Jenkins. You're lucky I wasn't the one home when this happened.

Six months ago, our hot water heater died one cold night in February.  When I called Jim Dickerson Plumbing in the morning, they were able to replace the unit that afternoon.  Although they may not have claimed to be the least expensive in the area, they were able to provide same day service in an emergency situation.  Also, they provided a few case scenarios over the phone to tell me why the competitors cheaper 'quotes' might be such low estimates and that the end result may be a higher price.  What they provided over the phone already took into account certain additional items, assuming no major problems, so we'd have less of a surprise bill in the end.  Therefore, we went with Jim Dickerson Plumbing and were quite pleased with the service.  Just last week, the water heater began working incorrectly.  All issues related to the heater pointed to the manufacturer, not the plumber.  After numerous service calls, reordered parts, and additional problems spanning almost a week with the manufacturer, Jim Dickerson Plumbing came through with excellent customer service, same day service calls in each situation, and technical expertise.  In the end, the majority of this was handled on a Saturday.  I realize the business has 'on call' office staff and technicians, but we feel they went above and beyond their duties to ensure our house had hot water THAT DAY after the debacle we had experienced for almost a week.  Again, we seemed to get a 'lemon' of a product, by no fault of Jim Dickerson Plumbing.  The manufacturer State was horrible in providing assistance or solutions or accurate information to Jim Dickerson.  The plumbing company, on the other hand, transported an entire water heater to my house to use for 'spare parts' if need be.  The technicians [all of them that had been to our house:  Branden, Clayton, Cooper, Jason] and Marti and Debbie in the office were great.  Marti spent a lot of effort and energy trying to determine why the manufacturer did not deliver what was promised so that Jim Dickerson Plumbing could continue to do their job as they promised.  Not only was she diligent, but she was very empathetic and that helped us remain calm in a very frustrating situation.  We will recommend them highly whenever the opportunity arises.

I was having issues and called this place to come out to inspect.  This was on Wednesday and the guy told me someone would be here on Thursday. Great!  Waited all day on Thursday, no one showed. I called them back and they said I was on the schedule for Friday (even though I received my text).  So, whatever, Friday it is.  Now after waiting all day again, no one showed up and I received another text to see we'll see you tomorrow (meaning Saturday).  These people have no clue of what they are doing.  Go somewhere else!
