DONOT LET THIS COMPANY IN YOUR HOME. They are not knowledgeable, they will leave you with more problems than you started with & very dishonest. They came for a clogged kitchen drain & left me with a water mess then promise to compensate & never did. They wanted to dig up the concrete in my home & that was not even necessary. They left without resolving the issue. Thank goodness I have some common sense I got another company out. I regret letting them in my home. The owner Mike does not stick to his word about a very unsatisfactory service & customer. He can care less that I'm unhappy with the quality of work provided! The other company came out & fixed the problem just by snaking it & guess what NO water mess.

Mike was fantastic. He was able to service a laundry valve replacement on the same day. He and his crew were professional and mindful of time.

I called Bob Harker in August of 2016 for a garbage disposal issue. He got there, put his hand down and removed a piece of plastic that was dropped down by my son. I also told him I had a toilet issue, it just runs. He grabbed a wrench, tightened something and left. No more then 15 minutes of work but charged me $145.. I offered to pay him that day, he said no he bills. He calls me in October and asks me where the payment is. I said I never recieved an invoice. I offered to pay over the phone he said no we accept cash or checks. He said I was the 3rd person that day to state that I never received an invoice. I told him to please email it to me. He said hes not set up to email but he will have his brother in law do it. December 19 i get an invoice via email. I mail a check, it comes back as address not good. I called Mr. Harker and left him a voicemail and nothing. I then get a phone call from a John Harker telling me he wants payment. I told him that I mailed it and it came back, he said send again. I did just that. 3 weeks later I get a voicemail from John Harker stating that he will now begin to come to my home everyday until the check is received, he stated how he is actively checking my facebook page to see where I check into, how obvious it is that I know how to spend money but not pay his bill. I called him immediately and told him a date and time to come to my house to get his money (on his voicemail again) but low and behold he never showed up. I checked my account and the check was never cashed so I had to issue a stop payment which cost me 30 dollars. I then did a certified return receipt envelope and put the check in that and it came back to me 2 weeks later as unclaimed after 3 attempts. During that time, John Harker called me at least 6 times a day, threatening to put a contractors lein on my property which he cant do because its less them 500. He would leave me voicemails about how he is outside my house, looking in my door trying to see if anyone is there, he will not stop harrassing me until he is paid, he will sit outside my house all day everyday until he is paid. He would leave cards in my door with nasty notes so finally i went to the police station to file harrassment charges against him. I provided all the emails, voicemails and texts. I then put 1 last check in the mail to him and guess what, it came back again as unclaimed after 3 attempts. I then get a voicemail while I was at my sons basketball game saying that he was at my house having a nice conversation with my next door neighbor about how Im a deadbeat that doesnt pay my bills and how he will tell everyone he sees on my street about how I am a dead beat until my bill is paid. And included in this voicemail was him saying OH WE ALSO ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. but yet never once relayed this to me before. It was only checks and cash. So I called, cursed him out and paid the bill. I would NEVER recommend this man or company to anyone. I dont even need to drop my name because he knows exactly who I am. Petty, overpriced and terrible..

In a world of inexperienced, unqualified, and shifty service companies it was a blessing to find an honest, hard-working, and intelligent individual.  I would highly recommend The Plumbing Company to hire for any of your plumbing needs.

Had a malfunction on my home air conditioner on the hottest day of the summer and Albert Ellis was to my home within one hour of placing a call to them!  Well-run company and top notch service.  Highly recommend!

I had a pipe freeze on Xmas and was desperate to have someone come out asap, since we didn't have any water all day. Keith was responsive, came out right away, replaced the broken pipe and I'm back in business. I really appreciated communicating through the app, and as well via text. I hate calling places. I'm so impressed, I scheduled more work to be done with Keith, that I had been delaying for months. Thanks again!

Such an amazing experience!! I've been a home owner for several years and those that are would know that you find someone to do some work an it's a terrible experience. NOT IN THIS CASE AT ALL. The response time was less than 30 minutes . He did tell me over the phone that it would cost for an estimate and that he couldn't tell me exactly what the cost would be until he got there . My schedule was free that day and within 2 hours he was here! Professional, knowledgeable, and even said I could wait for the work or replace my garbage disposal now. Trust me when I say LOCK THIS NUMBER IN!!!!  Awesome job and thank you !!!!

Simply the best! Keith and son are responsive and care for each of their clients. Professional, courteous, and reliable. We have found our new go to plumbing professionals.

I used this service this past April and they were great! Showed up a few minutes late but they called before hand to let me know. Once they arrived, they were SO quick and pricing was very fair. Would highly recommend!

Every single time I call these guys, they go out of their way to be helpful and informative.

This time around, I needed a very specific, hard to find tub. When I called and inquired as to whether they had it in stock, they took down my phone number to call me back (instead of leaving me on hold perpetually) while they looked for the item in question. Not even ten minutes later, they actually returned my call and told me that they were picking it up from their supplier and that it would be at their location within 1.5 hours.

Finding a place with such amazing customer service is a rare find these days, and they definitely deserve to be recognized for it!

I have been a 20 year customer of Len Schmidt; first in my residence in HaddonHeights and now with my rental duplex. They are reliable and responsive- invaluable to me as a landlord. I can count on them to work with me, respond quickly , and do a thorough job.

I called when our bathroom shower began to leak through to our kitchen due to a faulty drain. They were able to come out and fix the problem in less than 20 minutes for a reasonable price. They were great with communication, calling when they were on their way                                                                                                                                         and working around my schedule despite having a packed day.

Bought a house and needed the furnace/boiler checked prior to the winter season.  Was also having some issues with the system in general.  I called the  company that had serviced the equipment for years (The previous owner had highly recommended) and they no showed on me twice but called me back to see if I wanted to buy a service plan.  (!?!).  That was enough for me.  I started the hunt for a new Heating guy.

Out of desperation I asked a friend for a referral and she recommended G.J. Stimmler and sons.  (She raved about them and how honest they were)  I'm very happy that she referred them.  In no time, I had the owner Andy and his assistant on my doorstep and the furnace was being cleaned and inspected.  They identified the cause of my problems and replaced an electrical part.  The bill was very reasonable and I never felt like they were rushing to get to the next job.  

This is a local, family owned company that's a couple of generations in the making.  I can see why they have endured.  The entire time they were working, Andy answered my barrage of questions about hot water heating systems in general and my 36 year old boiler in particular.  I asked when it should be replaced.  Clearly, there are no high pressure sales tactics here.  I was told my system is past it's normal useful life of 30 years but that it's been very well maintained and does not look it's age at all.  He said it was a coin toss and that the boiler  could last for a few years more or die in a few months. There's just no way to know.  He simply suggested putting money away as and when I can and planning for a new system down the road.  On top of that, when I asked him if he knew of a good tree service, he gave me a name and number that worked out fantastically.

What sealed the deal for me was about a month later, I called the emergency line because my furnace went out.  Andy diagnosed the problem over the phone based on my description and told me what to do.  Heat restored.  Zero charge.  These are the only guys I will use from now on.  I cannot recommend them enough and I see their truck in the neighborhood a couple of times a week at least.

Irrelevant but interesting - I recently looked at some of the yellowed paperwork and instruction sheets that are tacked to the basement wall near the furnace.  (Most pamphlets are for equipment long since removed but they date back to the early 60's.)  These documents were added to over the years by Obsessive owners as new parts were installed/equipment replaced and they have apparently remained untouched for decades.  Being a history nerd, I took them down and sifted through them and discovered that my boiler was installed (in 1980) by none other than G.J Stimmler and Sons.  Irony!  That just gives me warm fuzzies.  One generation of a family business installed the equipment, the current generation will (eventually) take it out and replace it.  Full circle....

The work was fine but the price was very high for replacing a roman tub faucet - they charged way too much and Will's rationalization that he follows national averages - He is very high.  He is rude and did not want to discuss a reasonable rate for 2 1/2 hours work -

We hired JMF Corp to inspector the sewer at a home we were considering purchasing. The inspector told us the sewer was in excellent condition. After a sewage leak two months later, a plumber we brought in for remediation discovered that our curb trap is located under out front steps where it can't be accessed and doesn't have any ventilation as required by city code. The inspector from James-Michael Fay either didn't bother to fully scope the sewer or didn't disclose these critical issues. Go with someone who knows what they're doing.

Had a small leak in a pipe.  Called Ben's ProServ and they came in about an hour on a Saturday! Dan B was very professional and explained the options and cost for fixing the pipe. The cost was what I expected - no surprises.  Everything worked out well and I will definitely call ProServ in the future.
