Best Businesses in Columbus, OH

I am very pleased with the efforts of Eaton Plumbing. They were quick to respond to my needs and handled everything very professionally. Max was honest in his assessment and I feel his prices were fair. We will be using them again for future plumbing needs.

Mark was able to come out to our home within 48 hours to replace our leaking hot water heater.  Since our water heater is on the second story, he also installed a drip pan underneath the new water heater so that if it ever does leak, it will not ruin our first floor ceiling.  Mark was very nice and professional and got the job done at a very reasonable price.  Thanks Mark!

After a cold winter night we had some pipes burst in the home as well as a shower valve break. I woke up to water flooding my home's add on room and water basically raining from the basement ceiling. We gave these guys a call and they had sent someone with just a couple of hours (which is great considering how many other people might have experienced the same things and reached out to them that day). Mike and Shawn showed up and quickly identified the issue and was able to fix the problems very quickly. They had me taken care of quickly and the best part was the low price. Would def work with these guys again.

I had a frozen pipe situation in my home in January. It is a bi-level and the bathrooms are in the upper level. There were repairs done in the bathrooms and in the first level.

I called up this company and since they were available the same day I asked them to start fixing it.  I discovered their hourly rate was exorbitant ($87.50), but since he started fixing it, I thought I will let him do the job. It took him about 10 visits over more than a month to fix it and it cost me around $1668 from mid Jan to mid Februrary, 2015.

He did the last part of the job in extreme hurry. He did not put the toilet in the master bathroom correctly (hard to see from inside the bathroom) and he did not fix the leaking faucet (since it was dripping at the back - again hard to see) in the master bathroom. This resulted in water leaking into a space in the ceiling above the garage. But since I do not use that bathroom very frequently, it took me till April 2015 to notice that there was blackening in the ceiling of the garage, just below the master bathroom. Then I could trace back the problems.

When he was finishing up in February, there were other minor things that he did not finish properly - but I got so exhausted that I said I will take care of those small issues - like missing skutchings in 3 places, damaged paint at two places in the hall bathroom.

I have been trying to call him since April 2015. I must have called 50 times and sent 20 text messages over the last 3 months. I got hold of him only once in April and he asked me to call back later that day, which he of course did not respond. So right now, he does not even pick up my phone or respond to my text messages.

Being a licensed plumber, I thought I can rely on him for the job. Since I have paid him for the full job, I expected him to do it properly.

Couldnt be more pleased with my kitchen faucet installation. The company was very courteous from the phone call to the installation.

Recommend Jim Virgin, owner of J&S Plumbing.  Had a leaking shower valve, drip drip, drip.  Jim came in assessed the situation and promptly went into repair mode.  He ended up ripping out some of the pex line to remove the valve and retighten the fitting that was leaking.  He then replaced it with copper. No more dripping!. The price he charged for 2 hrs service,and parts was more than fair. Went out of his way to reassemble the shower hardware and test the system to look for additional leaks,. Thankfully none were found

We just moved in to a new house and called The Local Plumber. Trevor, he is a wonderful guy. Helped us with out plumbing issue, and was helpful in finding some other sevices too. He truly is local. He is a neighbor and a plumber. You can't do better. I highly recommend.

We have used these guys twice in the past, and I have met 4 members of their team.  They were able to come out within a couple days of my call.  They are professional and work fast.  I will use them again.

Saved $1500 on a new furnace over the quote of two larger companies who advertise heavily. Great service and quick install.

3.5 stars rounding up to 4.

Let me start by saying this was contractor #7 I contacted to do this job.  The other 6 stalled somewhere between showing up to give an estimate - all the way to pulling a no show when the quote was accepted and the job was scheduled.  Needless to say, I was pleased when someone finally showed up to do the work.

I was able to schedule the job within several business days of contacting them.  They charge an hourly rate - and I opted to provide materials.  I needed a water damaged spot in the sub-floor in the master bathroom repaired - which then required the flooring to be replaced.  Of course, all the linoleum had to be removed and the toilet taken out.  No small job, despite the small spot damaged.  But the work was mandatory as we are working to sell the house this year.

I dealt with one person and he was quite pleasant.  Communication was good with the company - reminder, notice of who was coming, etc.  The worker went about his business with little bother to me.  He only let me know when he was going to pick up materials and asked my input about the replacement tiles.

The one thing that disappointed me - he didn't go to the most convenient store - so he got stuck in traffic which cost him time and ME MONEY.  I should have been more specific but since I mentioned the name of closest place and he went elsewhere - I thought I had conveyed the information.  WRONG.  Lesson learned.

The delay in traffic kept him from doing another small job I needed done.  But at that point, I wanted to stop paying his hourly fee and called it quits when the job was finished.

He did a nice job of cleaning up and removing his waste materials.  I would use him again for a job that warranted their pricing scale.  I will either do the smaller job myself or find someone who will fix it for a fee.  Recommend if you're done being stood up by all the other contractors but you will pay for the work.  Definitely not a cheap proposition.  And I recommend you buy the materials yourself.

Worst company of liars I've ever dealt with, they came to my house for a Tankless water heater they installed 5 years prior, the service guy from jack woods, had to call someone from the manufacture.  I heard the manufacture say that product is worthless a new valve ( $5.00 ) should make it work.
The service guy came up stairs and said : all you need is a new Valve, which cost $95.00.
He was at my house 15 minutes, they charged me $228.00, for the service call.  If this review offered negative stars I would mark that

Don't bother calling if you live outside Westerville. Called asking for service on the city's northwest side, and was abruptly told they don't come out to this area.

Truly five stars. Very reasonable prices with zero service call fee that is often tacked on top of an hourly labor rate. High quality of work with great attention to detail. Very courteous and professional. Great scheduling. I am a new customer, but so far I am completely satisfied.

These guys (Justin) came out on a day's notice to fix my leaky disposal. Fast, efficient and friendly. I'd definitely use them again.

Water heater problems
Just moved into my house in Plain City.
Called Henry over at Plain City Plumbing.
He remembered installing the water heater when it was brand new. (Also he had a sticker on it)
He found several things wrong. Everything from the gas pressure was out of wack coming into my house. To the computer board. He spent some time diagnosing the problem. He then looked up the manufacture date, and found out it was still in warranty. He contacted the manufacturer and explained everything to them. He was able to get us a newer and better system for no cost. (Still had to pay for only a service call). Which is better than what a lot of the others were offering.
I was glad to hand him the check. This is the quality work you do not see any more. Please look them up, he is honest and dependable. This is the type of company people would be honored to work for.
Thank you.

We had a severely clogged toilet with a suspected toy being the problem. Service techs were very polite and worked quickly to discover the issue. Turns out we needed a new toilet. Back within a few days to install one we purchased ourselves to save some $$. When I thought maybe I still had an issue a few days  after the work was completed, they came right back out and explained what the issue was (wasn't related to the original work done) and didn't charge me for the follow up and maintained their friendly, professional attitude throughout the process. I will definitely call them back for any future issues and would recommend them to anyone who needs a plumber!

I scheduled my annual backflow test for commercial property two weeks in advance. I received a call from the City of Columbus Water Department informing me that Calhoun's plumbing license to do backflow test expired and they did not renew. They advised me to not allow them to do backflow test. This is the day before my appointment. I called Calhoun's Plumbing to ask why no one called to cancel appointment or let me know the license was expired. It is less than 24 hours before the appointment and still no call! The receptionist is very rude. The customer service was extremely poor. The water at my business could of been disconnected due to their error. Or they could of charged me for a backflow test that the City would not accept. Either way terrible customer service to small businesses.

Was so surprised and thankful that they came so fast and found and fixed the problem !   Very professional and went the extra mile to fix the issue.  Highly recommend !
