A1 Bargain Plumbing

First class Experience. Had Kevin come out and really explained everything that was involved in doing the job well. He gave me a fair quote and came out two days later. He did a flawless job that was finished early. Will definitely call again for future plumbing needs. Thank you Kevin.

So i had a plumber come out for a nasty sewage backup throughput my house. The 1st plumber came out and snaked unsuccessfully . The plumber did not fix the sewage problem, charged me $250 and stated i needed to dig up the front yard for $3000 just to see what the problem was. The next day Kevin at A-1 called me to check on my yelp request to make sure i had been serviced. He explained to me the errors the plumber made and i was able to get them to come back out and fix the issue for no additional cost. Had it not been for Kevin assessing the issue by phone and texting pics who knows how much time and money we would have loss. We did not use A-1 for this job but we will from now on. Kevin is very knowledgeable, honest and goes above and beyond to help those in need... Thx so much A1.

We had a small sewage backup in our basement shower. We called during New Years weekend and they had guys out right on time the next day they were open. They scoped the pipe and found a blockage, and were able to clear it with the scope. They were honest, showed us what they were seeing, explained it all very clearly, and took care of the issue quickly & effectively. They were more affordable than we expected. As new homeowners, we were extremely grateful! Will definitely be calling them again if needed.

Honest and came the same evening. I would call them again in a heart beat. Did not waste time looking at the toilet first, knew problem was outside based on how toilet was filling when sink was on. Very helpful. Our toilet was back to working an hour later! Kevin was great, very personable!

My mom being a senior citizen needed a company and crew she could trust so happy she found A1 Bargain Plumbing.
Kevin was great explained the problem and corrected the problem
Worth the cost which was minimum and the quality of service was GREAT!
Thanks again Kevin!!!

Owner is very nice and responds quickly. His two employees that came out were very nice as well with communicating but left a mess when job was finished and forgot to put our drain cap back in. Other than that  the pricing is reasonable compared to others. Great customer service and do a good job but would be excellent service if they cleaned up after themselves. But I still appreciate the job. Thanks.

This is one of the BEST plumbing companies I've ever used! Can't go wrong with these guys. Fast reliable and great work. In today's fast paced world it's great to know there are companies out there that take pride in their service. This is one of those places. Needed service done for my kitchen sink and garbage disposal not only were Ryan & Jayson punctual they were thorough and fast. Very knowledgeable and friendly and the price was reasonable. I will definitely use this company again for my plumbing needs.

Awesome people to work with. I have used them for the past couple of years now. Reliable, prompt and professional. Kevin always takes time to explain things and make sure everything  is fixed. Highly recommended.

I am giving a One Star Rating and the possibility of filing a law suit for humiliating the customer by video tapping the customer by Mr. Branden. from A1 Bargain Plumbing, and for the following reasons:
Service Date: April 4, 2023
Contractor: A1 Bargain Plumbing
Personal:
1. Kevin (Business Owner)
2. Branden (Helper) I do not know if Branden is related to Kevin. According to Branden, he claims he is Kevin's' son.

On April 4,2023, A1 Bargain Plumbing performed a survive at my house.
1. Customer felt humiliated by Mr. Branden (from A1 Bargain Plumbing.), by video tapping me on his cell phone while I was explaining their work, payment, and next stets need to be taken. I am attempting to file a civil law suit against A1 Bargain Plumbing .
Kevin was a gentleman and very professional who understood customer needs
2. Brendon on the other hand, he acted in in completely in Unprofessional way, and he seems just want to make money.
In a matter of one-hour, Branden new repair cost increase by 70% when compared to a previously submitted repair cost by Kevin. Scope-of-work-remained the same a did not change.
While performing the service, I noticed the following:
1. Equipment they were using is (i.e., Snake and cameras) are very absolute equipment compared what is available on the market today. i.e., High-resolution pictures, measurement and location of troubled some objects, clear views of some areas, etc.......)
2. You can barely see what the camera sees while in the underground pipe.

Kevin was very helpful and honest. I called for a sewer line repair quote, they came out quickly and thoroughly checked out the situation.  I called them back for a scope and locate service, he was able to help me determine which route to go. In my case, he suggested that my best option would be to go with a trenchless sewer repair, which is something they don't offer. that goes to show you that they are honest and reputable, a few other companies had given me quotes for this job and wouldn't have cared if they did the right job for this circumstance. Kevin was even nice enough to steer me in the right direction. I plan on calling them when i need a plumber in the future!!

cannot recommend Kevin and this company enough! I accidentally knocked my small, expensive, water sensitive hearing aid down the bathroom sink and after our own failed attempts to fish it out I called and he came out within an hour and quickly retrieved it for a very reasonable price.  Pretty sure he moved around his whole schedule to fit us in.  He literally saved me thousands of dollars with his quick, skillful work.  I recommend him enthusiastically - HIRE HIM!

My mom was having drain issues in her basement. After a few other outfits came out and pulled the scare tactic BS and gave high quotes and vague answers, I felt I needed another opinion. I stumbled upon A1 Bargain Plumbing online, Kevin came out, verified the problem, explained everything, and gave us a realistic answer and quote to do the work. I just liked his honest way and easy going additude. It was a moderate job that included busting up a basement floor, they wrapped it up in one day and even mopped and cleaned up when done.  

Definitely calling A1 again next time I have a plumbing issue I can't resolve.

Showed up day after requesting quote on water heater install on a holiday weekend - quicker and less expensive than Lowe's or Home Depot - highly recommend- thanks guys

I had a back up in the  basement and they came out the same day. Got it done quick , good pricing. If I need help again in the future I will be giving them another shot for sure

In 2017, A1 Bargain Plumbing came to my house on a Sunday to fix a leaky toilet. So, it was a no brainer when I needed help with leaky faucets.

Cindy was professional in helping me schedule an appointment. Due to a major issue with a previous job, Ryan came out late in the day even though he was given the option of rescheduling. He was polite and professional. He donned a mask without hesitation when I explained I was at high risk for COVID-19. Ryan diagnosed the issues which included the need to purchase a replacement kitchen faucet. He offered to go purchase one for me and install it that evening. In the end, we agreed I would purchase the replacement faucet and call to schedule an appointment when I had it in hand. He even deferred the service charge to be paid upon his return visit. That day, Ryan earned a loyal customer.

When I called to scheduleetrytyt the appointment, I spoke with a man who failed to identify himself. I explained the situation. He asked if I had the faucet in my possession. I told him I did. He said he was looking at the schedule and it appeared there were no available appointments for quite some time. I informed him I was in no hurry. He confirmed my name and address and said, There are two.  Then, he abruptly told me he had to look something up and would call me back. I thought he might be trying to fit me in sooner rather than later. Being short on time, I asked if he had the schedule in front of him intending to make an appointment further out to alleviate any pressure. The man cut me off mid sentence and harshly restated he would call me back then hung up. A few minutes later, I received a text informing me they, were gonna pass on the job. Confused and disappointed, I called back to request an explanation. The unidentified man told me I was pushy. I attempted to pay the service charge because Ryan had, in fact, diagnosed the problem. The man told me I was coming out ahead. Of course, I didn't share his assessment.

I recommend A1 Bargain Plumbing; however, I strongly suggest you ask for Cindy.

Update: Response to the response posted below.

Dear Sir,

Of course, you have the right to refuse service. On this, we both agree. However, I was neither insulting nor did I question your level of honesty. I was merely attempting to schedule a follow-up appointment. In fact, I was willing to wait until your business slowed down and it would be more convenient for your staff. You, however, were abrupt, rude, and dismissive. You refused my business without providing an adequate explanation. When I inquired directly, you stated, We don't have to take your business, When I inquired further, you stated, You're pushy. Following this shabby treatment, I still offered to pay the deferred service charge. Your response to my offer was, again, rude and dismissive.

You're correct. We both know what transpired. Unfortunately, the reviews indicate I'm not the only customer who you have treated poorly. Having said that, I still recommend A1 Bargain Plumbing with the caveat you not be involved in the scheduling process.

Respectfully,

Lynne McIntyre

Disclaimer: This company did not perform work for me, this review only speaks to the initial conversation I had with one of the gentlemen.

I was told my sewer line needed to be replaced, which is an important and expensive job, so I wanted to get estimates from various companies. Two other companies provide free estimates and understood when I told them quite frankly that I am getting other estimates. This company does not provide free estimates, which is fine. I told him I could tell him what I need done (based on the assessment provided free from the other companies) and get a quote from him so I can compare. In response to that idea, he had the nerve to lecture me about how wrong it is to get an estimate and not hire the other company...

First, we live in a free market system where competition is simply a reality. I know this first hand because my husband does sales for a residential construction company. Everyday he spends hours providing free estimates to customers who don't make a purchase. It is a reality that we live with, BUT because his products are superior and his prices are fair, he does well enough to make up for the lost time. He knows that it is your job as a service provider to sell yourself and your work. This guy obviously isn't very confident that he can make the sale when held up against others! Either that or he would prefer a stupid customer who will take the first quote provided. Sorry, that's not going to be me.

Second, spare me from your boring moral soap box. While you, the passionate martyr, are defending your industry from the unfairness of getting multiple quotes, your competition is getting business, continuing to grow, and has enough revenue to hire a darn receptionist so he's not missing calls because of poor cell service.

What a joke!

Kevin came to the house to look at a leaking toilet he took his time looking for the leak and caulked the toilet he was there on a previous call so when he came back he didn't charge me I'm happy that I found a good trust worthy plumber that's not gonna over charge you A1 plumbing is A1

Sewer backup. I called and they were out that same day. Fixed the problem and will call them if I have anymore plumbing jobs.

These guys are nothing short of sensational! I had a water back up in my basement and a unique plumbing situation to go along with it (some of the other plumbers I called in Dearborn weren't willing to roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty). The team came in, assessed the situation and started work right away. They were super helpful and professional, just absolutely amazing. They told me what they were going to do and when they were going to do it, along with keeping me informed every step of the way. I am so grateful for them, they absolutely saved me. You have a customer for life and will recommend A1 to anyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Best company I had help for a same day call. Will save this company's # if I need them for anything with my main house or any of my rentals.

Kevin came to my house when he said he would, on time, efficient, and did the work that was asked of him. The job was minor but we established a rapport and I will be using him in the future. Four stars.....

After doing a web/Yelp search, I contacted A1 via their web's email link from my California home to learn how to solve minor plumbing code issue at my sister's Dearborn home.  Kevin responded within minutes and suggested a call.  He learned more about the issue and told me that it's a simple fix that does not require a licensed plumber.  He offered--and did--send a photograph of the part that needs to be purchased and can be installed by the homeowner.  So, although we haven't used Kevin's firm to complete plumbing work, the fact that he is so responsive, helpful and that he didn't try to get paid for a job the homeowner can complete is quite telling.  On that basis, A1 deserves your consideration!

I really appreciate and highly recommend A-1 Plumbing.
 On a Sunday, a faucet to my shower broke and we had to turn off the hot water valve to get it to stop. I immediately contacted my regular plumber (NOT A-1), who said he would come out the next day.. Monday came and went. I contacted them again Tuesday and was told someone would be out to fix it Wednesday.. No one called or showed up. And then on Thursday, another no-call no-show.
 Finally Friday morning I gave up and after lots of research decided to contact A-1. They happened to have one of their crews available and they were at my house within about an hour.
 Within about an hour and a half, everything was fixed and better than ever. The servicemen (Ryan and Jason) were great, very friendly and gave very clear explanations as to what they needed to do and why, a couple different options we had, and also gave me some advice on my older plumbing and explained what will need to be done to get it updated.
 I will definitely be calling them from now on for any plumbing issues we have. Thank you guys so much!!

Moved to Dearborn area just over six months ago and knew before buying the home that the basement had some sort of water episode that soaked into the carpetted area of the finished side of the basement. I asked the homeowner to have the drain snaked to be sure it was only roots. (there are several massive Oak trees on the lot!) Snaked the front drain to the road and they didn't really tell me what went on there - just that the pipes were all cleaned and fine - no broken pipes. BUT they did NOT snake the drain in the back of the house, where i later found out is WHERE THE WATER BACKS UP.

I wasn't living in the house so it wasn't my call to the plumber -  but damn it if a plumber shouldn't be snaking all the drains that could be the issue when they come out to a house!!

After the first strong storm in spring, my new home's basement flooded because of the clogged drain - the main drain - the un-snaked drain. Go figure!  - the pipes had collapsed. Over $20,000 worth of damage to the property. Thankfully, insurance covered it all, but when the carpet was removed, the insurance men showed me evidence of prior water damage stemming from the un-snaked drain.

All I can take away from this experience is that this plumber purposefully snaked only the second drain, and not the main, because they knew what was going on. Maybe the seller was the only pussy in this scenario?  Or maybe they were buddies with the seller?  I do know they absolutely knew they were snaking a secondary drain, and not the main drain. They also knew that I was requesting the house drains be snaked since I was concerned about the water stain on the carpet... something the seller was saying had not been wet in the 3 years he lived there. This costed me 4 months of intense remodelling and very uncomfortable living arrangements!

Disclaimer: I had written this review in the spring of 2019, following my move-in in October 2018. I just found it in my draft reviews, I had never posted it. So I'm posting it now.

I had to call a plumber today due to a backed up drain in my laundry room. What a mess!  After looking at different plumbers on yelp, I decided to call A-1 Bargain Plumbing. I called, spoke with Kevin. I told him my problem, he was out within the hour!
What a nice guy! Explained everything to me, what the causes could be, etc. Afterwards he showed me videos of what he did, the cause of my problem.
He was here about half hour, everything fixed.
Very reasonable in his prices.  I'll never use anyone else, he's my guy for plumbing now!

Had to have a gas hose hooked up to my stove.  I tried to do it but still smelled gas.  He sent me a link to you tube to help me do it myself before scheduling a service call. (trying to save me money!!!) I really wanted a professional to install this as I did not want to worry about gas leaks in my home.  He came out the next day, even though he was booked for the day, and installed the gas hose.  He took great care to not scratch my floors or stove and explained and showed me what I had done incorrectly.  Not only did I get peace of mind, but I also learned about this project from an absolute professional.  I will definitely call for any other projects that may come up in the future.  Thank you again for your friendliness and professionalism.

Had an emergency repair on our water heater on a Sunday night.  I contacted A-1 and Kevin arrived within 30 minutes of my call.  He had all the necessary parts and had it fixed correctly within a hour and a half.  Price was great and so was the service.  Would highly recommend using them.

Had them come out for drain cleaning and they quoted me $150 on the phone.  The plumber gets there and completes the work and takes about 10 minutes.  Then gives me a bill for $295.  I told him what they quoted and he said he had to do extra work that was not included in the quote.  He had no explanation of what that work was in the 10 minutes it took him.  I called the office and spoke to the owner who said his name was Kevin.  I explained the situation and then he got so rude and nasty and started cursing at me.  Needless to say not a company I would ever do business with in the future.

2023: I was trying to write a new review because I had a recent second experience with this A1 Bargain Plumbing. They came out to install a new hot water tank. I am very happy with the service. They arrived the stated appointment time, was very thorough and clear about the process from cost of new heater to parts and labor. There were nothing hidden or surprise added cost. Kevin and Logan were very professional and courteous to keep things clean. I felt very confident and secure with the job they did . I am happy and this is my go-to plumbing company.

2020: I had A1 Bargain Plumbing come out to fix a slow sink drain. This was a blind hire of this company. I'm glad that I picked them out of the many choices in my area. Their yelp and Google reviews helped with my choice. The two men who came out was very prompt, professional and thoughtful.  They kindly moved my plants out the way while going in and out with their equipment. They cleaned up after themselves after fixing my slow drain by wiping down the sink and floors. The price was great and honest. I highly recommend A1 Bargain Plumbing and I will be using them again should I have any other plumbing issues. Prompt services, professional, great price and saved the day.  I'm happy and grateful for their service.

These guys are GREAT. I had to hire them after another company failed to do the job (Waterwork Plumbing, Ferndale--awful dishonest company!!). I live out of town and needed someone to fix a leak in my father's condo. My father is a senior and they were sensitive to his needs. They were able to come the next day and did everything as promised..(called on the way, wore masks, came with all parts). They worked on it a few hours until it was completely resolved and charged a VERY fair price. Highly recommended.

Asked for a quote on Yelp. They were the first to respond and gave the best price. They showed up on time and completed the work as asked.

The job was done professionally, even though my upstairs toilet wasn't done.  We had a leak after he left and they came back the next day and fixed it.  I have to say the work that they did do, was exceptional.  I would definitely recommend.

Very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I called in the morning due to a leak under my sink and they were here within an hour! Checked it out, quoted a very reasonable price, left to buy the part (a new disposal) & returned shortly after. The fix was quick and done well. I will recommend this company to others and will use them in the future!

Excellent, knowledgeable and honest. Kevin has helped us on two occasions and highly recommend him. He replaced our shower fixtures and fixed our kitchen sink leak. He was very professional and reasonably priced. He gave us very helpful information and tips. He is our go to guy from now on.

After three calls to find a plumber, with no response, I called Kevin at A-1 Bargain Plumbing.  He responded immediately and came out the next morning.  He discovered where my leak was coming from and fixed it that day.  He quoted the job before starting (honest price) and found a few more issues.  Knowing I was recently widowed he didn't charge me extra and gave me some do it yourself tips to prevent further problems.  I have additional plumbing work needed and will definitely call them to do the job!

Jason and Ryan are first class. They came without ant appointment the first time for a drain problem and were honest. Told us that it was just too much rain and we had no problem with our drains. So when our hot water heater went out we called again. They were here within the hour. As long as they were here we had another problem with the toilet fixed.
It's Saturday and they are here fixing the last plumbing problem we were going to put off until income tax refund time, but we saved enough money to have every thing done now.
Ryan and Jason are professional and respectful  at all times. Everything is explained before it is done with a price. I trust them both and A1 Bargain Plumbing

We had a clogged sewer line due to tree roots, with flooding in the basement. We got several estimates and he came in much much lower in price than any other plumber that I called, he worked his hardest to get us a view using the camera, and he fixed our problem entirely. I cannot be happier, he was friendly and professional. I also appreciated that he laid out worst case scenario before he started, but everything went perfect! Thank you!
