Best Businesses in Pittsburgh, PA

I have been using Shelton Plumbing for years.  They go out of their way to help me when I need them.  They return phone calls promptly and call when they are on their way.  And to say they are friendly is an understatement.  This is a great team and I highly recommend.  I wish I could remember everyone's name but high five to Sara, Denny and Jake.

Heard about Bruce from B& J plumbing from a trusted neighbor. So glad I followed up with her recommendation.

Bruce was wonderful to deal with, and was completely honest and very, very helpful. Was able to replace my garbage disposal and get it installed, and also was able to hook up with the copper waterline to my brand-new refrigerator when the delivery men from home depot said they didn't know how to do so. He did all that for under $200 and on my timeline. He's honest and trustworthy and does good work!

Would recommend him to anyone in the Elizabeth and surrounding area!

I bought a foreclosure with numerous problems, one of them happened to be a waterfall from the kitchen ceiling. They were able to fit me in same day (I had been told anywhere from several days to over a week with other companies I contacted). Even though they were pretty busy they still managed to come out and take care of multiple issues. I had several burst pipes throughout the house, issues with the gas lines not being properly capped, the shower was broken and leaking, a leaking kitchen sink, a hot water heater that needed attention, etc. etc. I am more than pleased with the services rendered. They were prompt, worked very quickly, took care of all of the issues I knew about and others that would have been quite a problem down the line. The price was extremely reasonable. I can't emphasize enough how pleasantly surprised I was at the cost to take care of all of this. I am a graduate student, and do not have a ton of money and feared I would have to pick and chose what to take care of immediately, and I was able to do it all! They were very knowledgeable, helpful, prompt, respectful and I would definitely recommend Sam Bales plumbing to anyone! I was dreading turning the water on in this house, and my worry was quickly assuaged by the expertise and reliability of these great guys! I am already planning to have them help me get the boiler up and running and would not hesitate to call them again!

Called them out for a sewer back up ... long story short he assessed the issue and gave me an honest diagnosis .... everything was fine !   Rotorooter wanted to charge me $15k for emergency service and stressed the need to have this done immediately !    
If you are looking for an honest company that is my looming to retire off of each job, then call Dave at 1 Plumber !

I have had to call Frank three times in the recent months.  Two calls were for smaller problems and one was for a large problem, a broken pipe behind a wall.   Frank was able to fix all three problems in a very reasonable amount of time and at a very reasonable charge.  I recommend Frank to be called for any type of plumbing problem.   John B   Penn Hills

I have been using Warhold both personally and for clients for several years. They are professional, honest, & provide great service. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic service, clear explanation of the services that were provided. I would highly recommend them!

They suck at record keeping and managing appointments. I don't recommend them and I won't be using them again.

I purchased and prepaid a one-year package to service 2 heating and 2 cooling systems. They came and checked my cooling systems in the spring and it went well. However, when it came time in the fall to check on the heating systems, the worker who came was told to only service 1 heating system, and that the company had no record that I had paid at all and that I was going to get charged again. The worker was nice enough to check both for me, but it made me feel guilty that perhaps I didn't pay for it, and he probably felt like he was doing extra work for me. After he left, I spent an hour going through all my records and lo and behold, I DID indeed pay for the package! I was told to take a picture and text it over! If I didn't find it, I would have gotten charged again!

The next week or so, I got a call asking if I wanted to purchase another year package. I explained the terrible experience I had and was told they would figure out what went wrong and call me back, but they didn't!!

Finally, with all the technology around today, can't J&A figure out a way to give customers a reasonable time frame of when to expect a repairman? There's really no reason that anyone should put aside a whole day to wait for them! Even a 4 hour window would be reasonable!

Called this business 6 times to coordinate date/time for an estimate on a home improvement job. Was advised by secretary, ... expect a return call soon. No call every returned. On the 6th call (which was a shot-in-the-dark) I asked the secretary if (vendor) was too busy, at least return the courtesy and recommend another plumber for my project. Again, NO RETURN CALLS ... This may be a $1-$2.5 million per annum gross business, but, their concern for prospective clients is poor.

Prices are outrageous. 750 dollars for less then a hour of work. They have you by the balls when it's mid July and your AC goes out. Capacitor retails $25-$35, was charged $395. Proper mark up is 20% I'll give you $150 in labor so let's say $245 for a $35 part. 700% mark up seems excessive. The more I write it out the madder I get. Don't worry they did the same for a contactor too. So I paid Aprox %1400 for parts with a generous $150 a hour labor per item even though it took less then a hour.

I've used these guys a few times for calcified pipes, each time I ask them to look at all the pipes in the basement (drop ceiling, takes 10 seconds to move the ceiling) and was told twice that they got them all. Fool me once, shame on your, fool me twice shame on me. The third time, guess what, they missed some. Oh, and they charge $195/hr for one plumber and one trainee so that is exhorbitant. Also got charged 30 minutes labor while they were awaiting pricing from Mark, glad I protested it. Won't use them again, many plumbers out there who want my business.

The most honest plumber ever.   I had a water leak in one of the second floor bathrooms that flooded the living room.  I call Orlando Plumbing which is a local firm to get a estimate.   He checked the bathrooms and after a few minutes told us it was a tub fitting that was loose.  $65 and that was it.  He tightened it and in 30 minutes gone.  We used him again after a couple of estimates on installing two gas lines.  Roto Rooter was $500 and Orlanda was $350.  I used him again for a water line to a new
sink and again the best service and price was excellent.   He does everthing.  Very professional.

We have used Greg for multiple jobs over the years.  I have dealt with dozens of contracts and there are only a few that I would recommend without hesitation.  Greg is one of them.  He managed a bathroom renovation for us when another contractor fell through due to a dispute.  He went the extra mile to do some carpentry projects for us even though plumbing is his main line of work.  We've used him to install faucets, fix leaks, clear out sewage lines, and other tasks.   Greg is a rare breed of truly honest people who will do his best to make things right.

Easy to get in touch with, and the guy they sent was great! He was efficient and punctual, too. The price they quoted us was reasonable. We have used them 3 times now and will be using them again.

We have been having plumbing issues, with money pretty tight we were looking for anyone. Sullivan for only 64$ (a weekday price) 2 guys came out, one for snaking the drain and the other for putting a camera in there. Both guys were super knowledgable and gave us the rundown of our issues. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

Only one star to get it on here . Do NOT under any circumstances hire this company .A guy comes to your house like a freakin used car salesman . Our sewer backs up , he appears , papers flying for us to sign. One said I'm satisfied . I said you didn't do the work how could I be ? Day one everyone shows up , plumbers seem good , friendly , day two not real bad but fence is removed , yard,garage , driveway , laundry room , gameroom dug up to the dirt . Then we get ghosted . Don't return calls,? Leave our place in train wreck ,and it is like getting a root canal to get in touch AFTER they get your money. 7 MONTHS later - not kidding -still calling daily and going to the top of the top and well - he's in Ohio, he lost his voice , the bosss wife died , such creative excuses !i I feel sorry for the few decent plumbers they have that don't even know where they'll be tomorrow. Looks like we're going to hire a regular person to put the vent in . DO NOT hire them !

love it so much Thay answered the call so fast the secretary was so nice they showed up to my house so fast

Should call these guys Village Idiot plumbing and heating! They have all these broken down vehicles out front, trying to make it look like a big fleet of service trucks. Most are rusting out. There's two feet of weeds growing between them. We agreed that he would send one plumber and he sent three guys and a hefty bill. I tried to pay my bill and he couldn't run a credit card machine. Too shady.....
