Best Businesses in Columbus, OH

We are owners of a property that is located 524 miles from where we live. It needed some work so I started googling. I had called a few other businesses but Apex's response time was almost immediate and with a fair price. The work was completed in a timely manner and the property has now been rented. Thanks Apex.

Buckeye plumbing arrived on time, completed toilet seal replacement quickly and efficiently. Didn't break the bank. I will contact them again for other plumbing jobs.

Excellent and honest! If I could give 6 stars, I would. Starting with Heather who was friendly to speak with, and made a prompt appointment. Jason came out even earlier than the appointment time (after a phone call to confirm). He was super nice and knowledgeable with great equipment to diagnose the problems and to find a solution. He took the time and care needed to figure out some of the complexities involved. He even walked around the property at my request and found a lot of issues that weren't in his realm of expertise, but still knew great referrals to help me out. Very reasonable, and somehow seemed like a human being who cares about his work and not a cold company concerned only about the bottom line. This is how companies should be.

Y'all.

Sit back and relax and let me tell you about the absolutely amazing experience I had with the amazing people behind Ohio Water Heaters (OWH).

Once upon a time my tankless water heater stopped working and I searched the world of Columbus over for quotes on a new heater. I needed a company with flexibility with a  flare of tech savvy and virtual visit options. I filled out contact form after contact form and was told pictures weren't enough and someone would have to come onsite.

Until I connected with Mike of OWH.

Words can't describe how incredible my experience has been with OWH. I sent Mike a picture of my current set up and confidently talked through my options. I wanted to virtually show him the space and we were able to swiftly move to a video call. Mike understood my needs and made an excellent project recommendation. Setting up the appointment was a breeze and I LOVE that OWH has a dedicated client website and utilizes text reminders for the appointment and to notify you of when your tech(s) are on the way.

Austin and Chris were assigned to me job and are great! They answered my billions of questions with style and grace.

The checkout process was fantastic as well. I was impressed to see that they use an iPad checkout process. I immediately received an invoice that included details on my warranties. Bonus - I didn't have to register my product; Mike did it all for me!

Choosing OWH to help me with my water heating (and some light plumbing) needs was a slam dunk win decision!

I gladly recommend McDermott with five stars. This week, the company came out when our washer's drain pipe was backing up and overflowing onto the basement floor. Another company had previously said our drain might have concrete in it and the floor needed to be completely broken up. That would have cost thousands of dollars. Michael from McDermott snaked the pipe and fixed it pronto, never suggesting concrete in the pipe. (He said it was just typical gunk.) McDermott is honest, reasonable and Michael is very nice and easy to work with (and he's a dog person, so our dog loved him!). McDermott also has installed a water heater for us in the past and took care of a leaky dishwasher.

I had a great experience with this company throughout the process.    I was impressed (and grateful) they could be here the next day, even though I called in the early evening.  Taylor was great.  He talked through all of the possibilities, was thorough, and solved the problem.  I highly recommend Discount Drains.

I wish everything was this easy! We called them due to a referral from a coworker and they fixed 2 what we thought were big water damage issues in about 45 minutes for $108.00!! They were courteous, fast and even gave us advice on getting a new faucet as a replacement from the manufacturer, That alone saved us the $100 we spent! Very, very happy -- will be repeat customers as needed!

Plumbing One has very knowledgeable plumbers and are affordable.  I will use them again.

We had a small leak in a shower drain on 3rd floor. I called G & M because their site indicated they are a family owned company and I knew with this type of job it required a company that will care about the needs of homeowners with small but important jobs, as well as the larger projects they handle. Brian came over and assessed the work, and told me it was a fairly simple job. Another plumber i called told me I needed to rip out the bathroom, shower tray and glass doors and re-do the entire tile/tray set up. Brian came over a couple of days later, and fixed the problem within 2 hours. He was congenial, professional, efficient and clean. I highly recommend calling G & M for your needs.

Professional and got to our house the day I called, but they charged quite a bit to dig a deeper sump pump pit. They told us they would put a new lid/cover on the pit that would be built in, but they didn't have the correct piece so they didn't fulfill that part of the job. They provide free check ins/visits and were responsive and even refunded us a little because of the incomplete job. So, I have some mixed feelings about this company, but I would probably contact them again if I needed to.

My experience with Ben Franklin Plumbing was outstanding, and no money exchanged hands! I scheduled to have an older valve replaced on a shower that backs up to a vanity. The plumber Tim arrived and informed me that the shower backs right into a stud at an odd place in the wall where a bedroom closet/vanity cabinet/air chase meet. He could replace the valve but would have to do a workaround using a different trim and cutting into the marble of the shower. When I told Tim we plan to remodel the bathroom and replace the whole vanity eventually, he suggested I wait until we do that work to get the shower valve replaced. That way, they could do it the right way with less cost to me. His honest assessment of the current repair (i.e., buying the extra trim part, paying for more labor to cut the marble, mess of cutting the marble) was impressive to me. Trustworthy repairpeople are so valuable! When we are ready for our major remodeling, I will hire Ben Franklin Plumbing without hesitation.

Great service. Basically provided a consult via phone (and text pictures) to ensure they knew the problem before arriving, and that they would show up with the correct parts. They dispatched a technician only a few hours after I called, despite it not being an emergency. Technician was masked up, professional, and resolved the problem quickly. Highly recommended.

Great guys. Had my plumbing issue fixed in no time and at a great price. I'll definitely use them in the future.

John and his brother did a super job diagnosing and replacing an old toilet in our basement. Efficient in his work and very fair priced while being Covid proper, I am very happy with the job. We had a little glitch with the new toilet seal dripping and he came back to make it perfect. John is my new plumber on call.

Reviewing for a friend - he was in a pickle and needed a plumber ASAP.  He called another well regarded company and they told him they were only available for emergency hours (which started at 430p!).  He called Mike and Mike showed up in 30 minutes.  He fixed the issue in less than an hour in a friendly, efficient manner.   Mike actually gave my friend 6 large garden grown tomatoes before he left!  Very impressed with Mike.

Called this company on a Sunday because a pipe was leaking in our basement. They were able to come fix it within two hours. Not an awful price for a Sunday either. Very friendly as well!

This company gave me a quote of over 2000 dollars to replace a standard natural gas water heater.This was for replacement during normal business hours. After several calls to other plumbing companies the average price was around 1200 dollars or less. Always best to shop around to make sure you are getting an honest quote and not being ripped off.

rip off, Slang. to steal or pilfer. to rob or steal from. to swindle, cheat, or exploit; take advantage of

We have used this company for 20 years. This is a company that is honest and trustworthy.
We had a company come to check out our cast iron pipes. That company told us our pipes were rotted and they needed to excavate my kitchen, foyer, family room and dining room floors in order to replace the  pipes . Cost $26,000 . Not to mention the fact that we would need to fully replace  entire rooms of floors.
Cruikshank came out and ran the camera from clean out into house and out to street. Also ran from master bathroom to clean out. There is nothing wrong with our pipes. The plumber showed us the video, was nothing like  the one that Atlas Butler showed us.
I would recommend Cruikshank anytime!

Very grateful that Chris from CLB was able to come out on an emergency call on a Friday night. Fixed our problem, was very friendly and seemed trustworthy.
