Best Businesses in Ohio

Have used twice and each time did a thorough job. Came out, gave detailed quote, purchased parts and returned to fix. No issues with any of the repairs

I called Best because they did the original plumbing work on my house when it was built, and I had a pipe-bursting emergency to deal with. The guy who came out, Dennis, was very nice and knowledgeable. Once he had the right tools (he had to break down into my house's slab to get to the bottom of the pipe break) he was able to fix the issue in 20 minutes. Even with a Sunday emergency call, the price was very affordable.

I'd have given 5 stars but the office he worked out of had broken equipment and so the tools he needed weren't available. I'd like to see the company verify their equipment so techs aren't left without the things they need to get jobs done.

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 was at the end of my rope with Columbia Gas.  They moved my meter last week and after doing so, my house lines were no longer holding pressure. The lines had been tested immediately prior to the replacement of the new meter and they were fine. When the tech came to restart gas service, there was a massive leak. The Columbia Gas tech guys just shrugged, said house lines.  Your problem and left.  This was Friday night and we'd been without gas for three days already.  On Saturday morning, I got on Yelp and found some good reviews for Mike of All Lines Plumbing. I called. He answered!  On a Saturday.  He was at another job nearby.  Within two hours, he was at my home. He gave me a price and I agreed.  He got to work right away!  I was planning for Monday at best!  He worked taking my lines apart until after 10:00 that night. (We live in an old home and have miles of line.)  he explained the process of putting the lines back together piece by piece and testing with each addition. He quickly realized that the problem was at the meter. Today, he was back, putting it back together. Piece by piece. My lines hold pressure perfectly now and Columbia will be getting the bill (minus the extra $100 I threw in for the great service, professionalism and courtesy. I also felt that the job had been underpriced at the beginning and he spent A LOT of time here).   As he put the lines back together, he swapped out old valves for new ones explains that they don't last forever. He even saw an issue with some flexible tubing on my furnace that was not bonded and switched it out for pipe.  I think he added ten bucks for that. If you can find a good plumber, you're lucky. And we feel very lucky to have found Mike through Yelp.  He's not looking to scare you or rip you off. He's looking to make an honest living...and it appears that he sees every job as a puzzle that he gets to put together.  His upbeat disposition gave me the idea that he likes what he does and likes to solve problems for others.  We are going to have him come put in a water heater at another property very soon.  Thanks!

Fast, efficient repair done inside of 15 minutes ... located in old village Pickerington just south of Lockville and Columbus St .. the repair was done on a house on N East St quickly replacing J bend tube under bathroom sink ... we had struggled to fix it ourselves because one metal end was corroded and neither end had threads going into J ...total cost including J part was $89.50.  They showed up on day expected and earlier than expected with notification... excellent communications.

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.

West Jeff was recommended to us by friends.  As a family owned company, they were very honest and straightforward to work with and their quote was 30% lower than the big name outfit we used to work with.  Nice brand name Lennox equipment, well installed, no pressure or sales gimmicks.

The installation was handled promptly and professionally by factory trained installers.

Highly recommend.

Use caution and get a second opinion when dealing with this business!

I contacted Mr. Handyman of East Columbus, New Albany and Gahanna get an estimate to have a 10 square foot bathroom shower floor retiled. I was asked to send in a picture of the floor, which I did. Much to my shock, the estimate came back as a three-day job for $6,000 - $7,000!!!! I was told that they'd have to tear up the shower step-in, the tub underneath the tile and the subfloor. I said that I only wanted to have the tile redone and their response was that it was the same price as they were planning on having to rip out the subfloor (and all this from a picture!). I asked if they charged $1,500/hour and was told that they don't charge by the hour, they charge by the job.

I just had a professional tiler look at the shower floor, and he estimated the job at $250. Quite a difference! Just to be sure I was comparing apples to apples, I asked him about the tub underneath the tile as well as the subfloor. He said that there was no need to touch any of that and went on to say that there's a special glue that can be used to overlay the new tile on top of the old tile. The gentleman I am now dealing with has been a tile installer for 30+ years and comes highly recommended by several people I know. Care to guess who I'll be going with?

My entire exchange with Mr. Handyman of East Columbus, New Albany and Gahanna was done via texting, so I have a written copy of it all. I'm not sure what would possess someone to quote a job that is 2,400% - 2,800% higher than normal, but it only takes a couple of uninformed customers to make these ludicrous prices pay off.

My mother in law is 80 years old and needed her water heater either repaired or replaced. They could not come out for over a week, leaving her without hot water. When they did come out she was in the hospital with pelvic fractures. A neighbor let them in, they tried repairing it, and left. Within the hour the heater was not working again. They of course could not come back right away.... They ended up replacing the hot water heater and sent the bill. We were under the impression they were to give not only a discount for senior citizens, but that the bill would be around $600. The bill was over $1100.00. When called, they came up with all kinds of things that needed replaced that we were unaware of and they charged for coming out the first time with the heater breaking down in less than an hour!  An estimate was never presented to us or her or her neighbor. You hire professionals to fix your issue, not take advantage of the elderly and or vulnerable.

Not a company I would ever hire again or recommend!

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.

Let me first say I've used Muetzel in the past.  I had them come over and do some emergency repairs to my bathroom sink.  The drain works fine now, but it came at a pretty expensive price of $600.  Whatever.  They came over and did the repairs and it worked.  While they were at my house, I had them also prepare an estimate for installing some new water lines to a new kitchen sink and a new laundry room sink and washer box.  The plumber took his good old time preparing the estimate, measuring everything and writing down every single part.  It took about 1.5 hours to complete his estimate, which I thought was a little excessive.  About 2 months later, they finally called with a quote.  I had called and called and asked about the estimate before and they kept telling me they were working on it.  When they finally gave me the estimate, it ended up being $2000 more than another local plumber who had already completed the work.

About 2 years later, I thought I'd give Muetzel another try.  I called a few days ago to schedule an estimate to run a gas line to my new fireplace.  They told me they could send someone out Wednesday between 7:30 and 8am.  I thought, great!  I can wait for them and still get to work at a decent time.  Well, Wednesday rolled around and I waited and waited.  At about 8:15, I called to notify them their plumber was late.  They told me he was on another job and they would give me a call when he's 30-minutes away.  I waited until 9am and called them to tell them I will no longer be using their service.  If they can't give me a courtesy call to tell me their plumber would be at least 2 hours late, then they can take their business somewhere else.

Avoid Muetzel.

A horrible business. The owner came out to put in a bid on our interior remodel. He was rude and arrogant at the walkthrough. However, his bid was low, so we decided to award the job to him based on price and  availability. He promised to start work on a Monday--he never showed up, or called. Neither he or his office would return my calls. Same thing Tuesday. By Wednesday the men that were putting up the wall and electricians were at a stand still, waiting for this plumber to do his part so they could finish their work for Friday inspection. He didn't show. Thursday I fired him. He had an opportunity to make $12,000 for three days of work and couldn't be bothered to return a call or show up to a job he promised he could do.

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!

Called them as a new customer - man that answered the phone seemed irritated and annoyed. He gave me bad advice in a condescending tone which ended up costing me more time and money.  Will not call them again.

BEWARE - VINYL LINER REPAIR - BEWARE
Before you consider calling American Leak Detection for a pool repair, I think it is fair that you know that this company will only guarantee their work for 48-hours. If they leave, and your pool is still losing water, you have 2 days to find out and report it.

What happens if they patch my liner and the patch comes loose on the third day? Too bad. You just spent $367.00 and have nothing to show for it.
When will they tell me about this policy? They will tell you after you've paid, not before you've paid. If fact, they won't even tell you in person. It will be in an invoice, that is emailed to you, and in an attached document, in the fine print.

What does this $367 cover? Not a whole lot. Their tech came over, looked into my pool, and patched a hole near the edge where my deck was, so that he didn't have to get in the water. He said it was a simple fix and that he could probably just charge me for a leak test (which they didn't). He told me that he ran a test, on a day with 20 mph winds and strong gusts, and that my pool was no longer leaking. (I did not get to see these test results.) I asked him if he checked for any other leaks - I was told no. I asked if he was going to dive into the pool, and check the perimeter, the seams, the skimmer seal. I was told he was not. He told me he guaranteed his work. He told me to watch it for a few days, make sure that it wasn't leaking, and to give them a call if I had any problems.

I immediately marked the water level in the pool, and filled a bucket of water to compare. The water level dropped over half an inch the first day. I marked it again the next day. After a few days, and a couple of days with rain, I checked and I had still lost 3 inches. My bucket had lost 1/4 - I called first thing Monday morning. My pool was still leaking.

I was IMMEDIATELY told that they would not do a single thing. They referred me to their policy - 48 hours - and that if the patch doesn't hold they would have to come back out. I was told that they would only come back out for another $367.00 - they will do NOTHING after 48-hours.
I however, can GUARANTEE that I will not be calling this company again.
