Best in Pittsburgh PA

We have used Gasparovich Plumbing for close to twenty years. Can't say enough about this guy.
Dependable and honest as the day is long. He's the go-to guy for Stanford Court Condominiums and counts many residents as his customers. He told me he hasn't had to advertise in over 20 years.

Chad provided excellent communication in regard to every decision involved with the repair.  The repairs were completed efficiently and effectively.

We needed a plumber to connect our new sink to new faucet and garbage disposal.  We had gone with a deeper sink, so that caused a few issues, as our piping was a bit high under the sink.  Ed knew about this possibility and was able to take care of everything.  His price was reasonable, and he called me back each and every time I called him.  Unfortunately, customer service is so lacking with so many businesses these days, but this plumber is extremely responsive.  Should we have any further plumbing needs, we will call him again!!  Highly recommend!!

I called Brett since I had no running water in my house due to a leak. He wasn't available to come out that day due to being fully booked but he gave me advice on how to temporally resolve my issue. He even gave out his personal cell and said to send him photos of anything that I'm stuck on and he would walk me through it. That's unheard of since most people want paid for their time! I will be using Brett's Plumbing in the future!

It's rare that I give 5 stars, even rarer for a non-food related review....  Ron Miller plumbing was highly recommended to us by a local municipality who knew how bad our situation was. Ron Miller plumbing came out and got us cleared almost immediately, to the utter joy of my family. Next we formulated a plan for them to come back as soon as they were free and continue with a much larger repair. They cleared their schedule and showed up on the next morning and got the proper repairs done in a clean and timely manner. They went way above what is expected from a contractor and I know, I was a building Engineer for 24 years back in LA. Overall I was incredibly happy with their work, their work ethic and especially the price. I know what it takes to do such a big job and Ron Miller plumbing really came through for us in a huge way, Aloha

John from the company provided quick, friendly, professional and cost effective service. I was extremely pleased with the excellent service he provided. I would definitely recommend the service.

Called and talked to the owner early in the week who told me that he would be at my house that coming Friday to look at the possibility of having some work done.  I re-arraigned my day to be there.  Some one called a 1/2 hr before the scheduled time to cancel.  They apologized and said someone would be out early the next week and that they would call.  No call....nobody came out. They would not return calls.  I finally tried to contact by e-mail and their response was that I should look elsewhere for a plumber. I guess I had the audacity to comment on the fact that no one returned my calls.  How foolish of me!  Just another, My time is more important than yours plumber.  Stay far away from these deadbeats.

I have hired Petrack Plumbing several times. Here are summaries:

Appointment #1: The plumbers removed an old utility sink and installed a new utility sink in my laundry room, removed a 1970s-style wet bar in my living room and capped its pipes, and snaked a gutter pipe outside. Afterward, my new sink and pipes worked great.

Appointment #2: The plumber used a camera to determine why my gutter drain pipes were not draining properly. He determined that a dry well/pit in my yard was full and needed to be replaced.

Appointment #3: A different company had installed a new washer and dryer in my laundry room, and they caused a gas leak and did not level the washer and dryer. Petrack Plumbing arrived at my house in less than one hour. The plumbers reassembled my gas pipe, and they leveled my washer and dryer. Then they charged me $0!

Appointment #4: Petrack Plumbing flushed the pipes from my gutter downspouts to my dry well/pit (*different* downspouts, pipes, and dry well than months earlier). They said that my gutters and downspouts are probably clogged and that my dry well might be full as well, but my dry well does not need to be replaced because it can overflow down the hillside.

Then Petrack Plumbing replaced a leaking copper pipe in my basement. The pipe had a pinhole, so the plumber replaced that section of pipe with new copper pipe. They said that the other copper pipes in my house are the thicker-wall Type L pipe, so they should last for more decades.

Appointment #5: My hot water heater and expansion tank were about a decade old and probably nearing the end of their lifespan, so I hired Petrack Plumbing to install a new water heater and expansion tank. Two plumbers arrived 1.5 hours early, but they did call in advance for our consent. They spent 2.5 hours doing the installation. At the end, they explained to my husband and me what the different parts do. The plumbers had noticed that the old expansion tank and pipes were connected to the hot water rather than the cold water, so they installed the new tank and pipes in the correct location. This extra work cost a little extra money, but the final price was still a couple hundred dollars less than another company's estimate.

We had Fady come by to make some repairs and we were so impressed by his professionalism, respect, and work. He showed up with a mask covering his face and booties in his shoes before I even answered the door. What a really nice man, too. Highly recommend, all around great experience.

Feeling flushed!!!
Edit. They did come and tried to replace my toilet base with a new one and using my existing tank. It was obvious it wasn't working after the owners son Adam had to keep playing with it and adjusting something in the tank and flushing at least 40 times. After he left I dropped tissue into the toilet and flushed. On two of three occasions there was little water exchange and the tissue remained in the bowl. I had to have him come back. This time with his tail between his legs he came strolling up to the door with the tank that went with the new base. The old one wasn't compatible. Did they think we wouldn't notice our commode was not working properly?  If I could give them a negative five give stars I would. And now the legal department from American Standard is involved because they are making slanderous and fraudulent claims that they were at fault. They had nothing to do with this. The neglect of the tech who put the snake in the toilet is. I could never recommend these cheapskates to anyone.

In October I paid $460 for Frew Plumbing to unclog a drain. I thought it was high but paid without complaint. Noticed afterward my toilet had three cracks inside where it narrows at the bottom as I scubbed to remove the scratches. After repeated calls the owner came and agreed it was cracked and it would be replaced. We'd even agree it would cost us about $85 to upgrade to a taller one. Calls again went unreturned after I let them know my ceramic floor tile is cracked just next to the toilet also as I hadn't seen it before. Fast forward a month... I just got a letter in the mail from them telling me to contact the manufacturer of the toilet. Defective?  Wasn't till a Frew plumber was here. Denying the snake in the toilet?  I have a witness!! Seriously???  An employee-only with the company a few weeks-attempted a quick fix by putting a snake down the toilet. When that didn't work he left and came back with a longer one. At that time he removed the toilet and was able to remove the clog that was at the elbow in the basement two floors below immediately. I'll be off to the magistrate first thing tomorrow but wanted to give everyone a heads up. I dont think they realized I am a bitch and I will not let this go. Picked the wrong lady!!

What a shame a long term client is ultimately gouged $$$ and taken advantage by this firm.  I recommend folks use another firm these guys are arrogant, I guess they have just gotten full of themselves.  Beware, I cannot recommend them for my services!

Dave was absolutely amazing! He was extremely courteous and professional. He explained what he did on every step of unclogging my drain. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this company! For what Dave did, the price was very good. I didn't feel gouged or taken advantage of. I will never go to another plumber.

I got back to Pittsburgh after a month away in December.  I came home to find a pipe that had frozen and broken, and my basement was almost flooded.  I called Fagnelli on a Sunday morning and they were at my house within a couple hours.  I thought everything was going great... until they quoted me $600 for replacing a pressure regulator on top of the $90 fee to come look at the problem.  I thought that ridiculously high and decided to live with the leaking pipe until I could get a second opinion on Monday morning.  Well, my second opinion was much better, $145 for a diagnostic evaluation, part, and labor.  It was all fixed in 1 hour.  Thanks to the other plumber with a much more reasonable price.  Its been a week and no leaks or problems!

I thought the exorbitant amount quoted by Fagnelli was due to calling on a Sunday, but when I talked to them on Monday morning, the price wasn't any lower.  

Today I checked my credit card and to my dismay, Fagnelli double charged my card!  $180 for all that overpriced grief?  Ugh!  Now I get to call them back first thing next week and deal with them some more.

I'm not happy with the service that was provided.  A simple sink malfunction turned into so many other plumbing issues, that I began to question thei r Integity.  After I drew the line when my kitchen faucet began leaking, I called their bluff and asked them to leave.  Magically, the problem was gone.  So beware those Plumbers who can create problems in your house for more work:)

Will not respond after having issues with their work

They installed a new boiler in our house the past spring. Have been having issues with it since late January. It will shut off and gives an error message. Email Mike P of their company and he will not respond, bee over a week. Also because things were not done right a radiator in my basement cracked and water started to gush out. Luckily I found the shut off valves to the radiator so it could be shut off. I understand issues arise, but the unwillingness of these people to address these issues are why they get the 1 star rating. If you use them don't ever expect they will get back to you in a timely manner if you need something.
