Best Businesses in Ohio

I was referred to Alternative Plumbing when my plumber said he couldn't get to a broken pipe in our crawl space. I was impressed that they arrived fairly quickly (considering it was a weekend and they seemed busy with other frozen pipes). And the guy was able to fix the busted pipe and it didn't cost an arm and a leg! I was worried that it would cost a lot since it was a weekend and I wasn't sure how much  broken pipe would be but the price seemed very reasonable to me. I've called some plumbing companies in the past who charge $50 just to come out and look at the problem.
They were also willing to take care of the problem when the other plumber wouldn't. I will definitely call Alternative Plumbing in the future.

Before the plumber arrived, I was very leary of this company because it only had one review on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau and that review was very negative. In addition, the company has only been around since 2020 and has no online presence. It seemed sketchy. However, I had no choice in the matter because Courtesy Flush Plumbing was assigned to me by my warranty company to fix my clogged toilet. In the past, I had a HORRIBLE experience with another plumber that was assigned to me by First American Home Warranty, named Mancini Plumbing and Drain, which now has an F rating on BBB and I have vowed to never let in my house again. So I was wondering if I was going to have another bad plumber experience.

Luckily, my unsettling feeling quickly turned to ease as plumber Steve was very nice, on time, and fixed my issue quickly. He spent time taking me through the issue and even gave me an idea for how I could fix the problem on my own for cheaper in the future. I was very surprised that he offered up that information because that knowledge essentially takes away business from his company in the future if I have the same issue. However, that type of honesty and desire to unselfishly help me as a customer is hard to come by with plumbers. So the next time I need a plumber, you better believe that I will be contacting Courtesy Flush Plumbing to help.

Steve is a one-man team, small business that I highly recommend. It's important to note that if you get Courtesy Flush Plumbing assigned to you through a warranty company, there is only so much that Courtesy Flush can do for the service fee as it all depends on what is covered by your warranty policy. Go into it knowing there may be additional costs if the repair is not covered by your warranty policy.

My parents can not stop raving about Fred and what great customer service he provided to them and asked me to leave a raving review for him. He was very informative, reasonable, trustworthy, and we had fantastic results!

It's also very reassuring, especially with me being across the country now and not able to help quickly, knowing my parents have a trustworthy reliable plumber that they can call for quick help if needed.

Thank you, Fred!

My sink had been draining slowly and finally stopped draining at all. I wanted a union plumber and came across Merit on the Local 50 website and gave them a call. They sent Robbie over first thing in the morning, and he did a fantastic job! I was worried about how much it would cost, since he had to snake pretty far. Under 200 bucks! My sink is working great now and I was able to use it and make a delicious dinner tonight. Thanks, Merit!

When your furnace dies and it's single digits temperature outside and you have a rental house with a family of six living there, with four children.  I call that an emergency.

This was a non-reparable situation where the furnace was at end of life and would have posed a carbon monoxide risk if it were to continue to run... it's replacement was mandatory.

I called several places.
Blissfield Heating and Plumbing responded the fastest, provided heaters electric heaters to keep the residents warm until the repair could have been made. It went down to 6° that night!

The very next morning they were there with a new furnace and it was installed in a matter of hours.

I am very pleased with how this was handled in every aspect from beginning to end.

And I'm the kind of guy that has zero tolerance for incompetence,  but I didn't find any here.

Nice Job BHP.

The team at PAF exceeded my expectations.  My job was unique and they had no problem finding a solution. Very professional and great communication along the way. Highly recommended!

Needed them ASAP On a Sunday. Everyone was so nice from the calming voice on the phone to the two men that came out to drain our overfilled septic. When the tub makes gurgle sounds that is a bad thing. I/we did not know that.

Made an appointment and they called to say they were running late only to then later call to say tech checked in for the day and wouldn't be coming at all!  Why make an appointment if you don't intend on showing up!!

We absolutely love love love Ron!  We had a bad contractor come in and remodel our master and main baths.  The second contractor was almost as bad as the first however the one bright spot was they brought in an independent plumber (Ron).  Ron fixed the hot and cold water lines being switched, a drain that was backing up into our shower and a few other things.  When contractor two walked out without finishing the job because we wouldn't make the last payment until the job was done.  The same contractor tried to hang Ron out to dry.  We called Ron to let him know what was going on and he helped us out.  I have had him do a couple of other jobs and would hire him over and over.  As a female I don't always trust contractors without my husband around when it comes to quotes.  I would trust Ron time and again even without my husband.  He was great with our kids and pets too!  I would hire Ron hands down before any other plumber.

Contacted E&K over two weeks ago (10/2/2020) to hire them to do a sewer line inspection with video for a house I am hoping to purchase. They came promptly and verbally told me the entire line would need to be replaced. I asked for a written report and footage to show the sellers, and was assured this would be no problem. After several days, I had still received nothing, so contacted the office via their website contact. Still nothing. I followed up at a week post inspection and spoke with someone in the office twice. Finally, a week and a half later I was told there was an error at the inspection and video had not been captured. I was assured they would come back 10/16 to video the line and get the footage to me, along with a written report I could give to the seller. As far as I'm aware, they still have not come back. I e-mailed and texted my contact (10/19) just to verify someone had come by and have still heard nothing as of 10/20.

As with most home purchase contracts, there is a limited time allowed for inspections. E&K was aware of this, and yet could not even communicate well enough to indicate that they would not be able to perform the service for which I initially contacted them (a sewer line inspection with video). Had they done so, I would have been able to reach out to another company for inspection. A really frustrating situation all around, especially since I would have been happy to give them my business based on their reputation alone had they done the very bare minimum.

rude and disrespectful..
tried to lie and say they did work they didn't do and they didn't know we had a camera..

Poor quality and poor service. The owner is a scam artist. If you have issues don't call him back. He's a criminal!
