Best Pipe Repair in Pittsburgh PA

I was not at the home during the service -- but this makes my review even more important to me. I learned about it all from my Aunt who was super impressed with Todd from First Call Plumbing. The sewer backed up to the point where we could not use our appliances and were apprehensive to flush the toilet. My Aunt's regular plumber was on vacation so we had to find someone new.  My Aunt was very skeptical about using someone new, but the smell was unbearable and she had no choice. Calling Todd same day, he was helpful, polite and ensured he fit us in, and on a Saturday, too. In addition to solving the problem, he assisted in clean up. He also did a review of other areas of the home. Pricing was generous -- they only charge OT on a Sunday! Thanks for a great experience, Todd!

I called in Brett for a broken shower handle. I was very pleased with his work. He was very efficient in getting the job done. I also appreciated that he cleaned up everything afterwards. Brett is a friendly guy and very knowledgeable in plumbing. He took the time out to explain everything and share some tips with me. I would highly recommend his service.

Update: Mr. Miller took the time to call me and I was so surprised since no business has ever done that. I am very appreciative of that and it totally took away my frustration of my experience he was very nice and said he would refund me, I don't want refunded I just wanted a job done and not to be thought less than. He took the time to talk and explain and not make me feel taken advantage of, thank you.

Please be warned about hiring plumbers in the New Castle PA area, they are crooks. After having to pick one of these crooks (Ron Miller plumbing) I thought I picked someone honest. The quote was $160 an hour and then you pay by the half. The job was to snake the hole by the wash machine, he wasn't down there more that 5 minutes before he said it couldn't be done, I really didn't hear the machine. He was only on the job for 30 minutes and most of that time was spent going up and down the stairs and in an out the house for what I didn't know, he said he had to snake the main drain but that was impossible the floor was completely dry. And then the pitch came, they conveniently can't do the small job so the can force you into a way bigger more expensive job. What he didn't know was that my husband usual do this because we live in a wooded area and we have to keep our lines clear but because my husband couldn't get off work I wanted to do something nice for him and have it done. Not only did I have to pay the $160 for him doing nothing but he constantly kept trying to up sell me and I had to keep telling him to just leave my house. Sorry for the length of this but that's what these plumbers are doing, over charging then forcing other jobs on you that you didn't ask for. Please do your research and be adamant about what

We discovered a leak in one of our copper pipes late in the evening on a Friday night. I started looking for a plumber to come out ASAP -- Klug Plumbing was not only the only one to call me back the same night but also come out first thing the next day.

Bob assessed and repaired our pipe, while checking if anything else was affected by the issue. He expertly repaired it and had it working within an hour.

I appreciated his communication leading up to arrival and how he explained the issue he found. If we ever have more plumping needs Klug Plumbing will be our first call!

They just replaced our water heater today. Good communication, stuck to their price, and were incredibly professional. They also unclogged a drain and replaced a valve, all within an hour.

These guys were fantastic. Very friendly, professional. We had a plumbing emergency, they responded very quickly to the call. Came out the next day and fixed the issue. The price was great, and the job was done really well.

I wanted to let the public know that Joe is a TRULY HONEST MAN! He took the time to explain to me what the job should actually cost. He told me to make sure I got lots of quotes, and to ask for estimates for worst case scenarios. No wonder he is booked solid for 2.5 months out. If I would have known we would need a plumber, I would have had him pencil me in months ago, lol. Please make sure you contact Marshall Plumbing first and you will see that his quote will be the best, with excellent customer service, and a job done right! He was recommended to me by other extremely satisfied customers. He is licensed in PA, WV, and OH.

Top notch, efficient and capable. . (and tidy too!) Mr. Brown is the real deal plumber. He does excellent work at an affordable price. We will recommend him to everyone we know!

I had a new furnace and central air installed recently by Restano and they came in substantially less on the price then several other companies for Carrier units. The install was done in one day and they left the place clean. There were a few minor problems, omitting a basement duct and a pinched wire but they came out and corrected them promptly. I would have no problem recommending them to anyone.

I was definitely disappointed with this company. My general contractor brought them to my house to replace two shut off values at my meter and install a pressure regulator. My contractor got a quote from them for $350. I thought the price was a little high but agreed to  have them do the job.

My contractor called me after the work was finished to let me know the pressure regulator wasn't needed so it wasn't installed but the bill came in at $451.00

The bill went up 30% from the original quote and they didn't install the regulator.

I was charged $319 for labor and $132.00 for parts.

So it was $451 for two shutoff values!

Looking at my security cameras they were here 2 hours.

I will never recommend this company to anyone.

Extremely disappointed!

Scott called this morning and was at my house in less than 1/2 hour. He looked at my Koehler Toilet and informed me these toilets are one piece toilets. Trouble is, with a one piece toilet, you have to change the whole toilet to fix the leak inside the toilet. He was very professional, friendly, and recommended several options. We spoke at length about what to do, and I have to say, I was not aware of the problem with Koehler. He made a recommendation to change to a Gerber Viper. While learning, I asked him if they're any charges and He said No!
I will be discussing this with my Wife, and we'll go from there. When we make our decision, we will call Scott again for installation.

Thanks Scott, I appreciate your time and candor!

Gerard plumbing review for yelp

The plumber that came out to the house was absolutely great. He did a great job, was personable & respectful. The wait time to get someone in to do it was a lot less than other plumbers for a non emergency service. The guy I spoke to on the phone over the weekend was also great. However, they quoted me one price over the phone over the weekend, when someone called on Monday to schedule the service she said oh, he gave you a nice discount for that then when the plumber came onsite he charged my mother $100 more than the highest end of the quote. Originally, I asked to install a valve & a dishwasher. Turns out the valve was already there, but it did end up needing replaced. So they charged $100 more for less than 2 hours of work and a easier job that originally quoted. They also took down part of my basement ceiling to see how the dishwasher was draining, that I now have to replace, so it is going to cost even more money to repair that now as well.

Adam our guy came out twice. Most definitely spent the time trying to find out the problem with our water pump. He spent 3 hours to figure out what 2 other plumbers and the city could not. We ended up needing a part so we had to order and he came back to install it. Came back at exact times he said. He knew what he was doing and looking at. We will definitely be using them again for all of our plumbing needs.

Great service, trustworthy and reliable. When one plumber told me immediately without a thorough assessment that I needed a full bathroom gut job and quickly quoted me $5000-$6000, I called Bill for a second opinion! $400 later, a simple leaky tub was fixed and I was able to get my contractor in to fix the ceiling and saved thousands!

leaky faucet in bathtub which just needs a new faucet cut out, refitted with new etc (I know enough about plumbing) and proposal with a whole bunch of other stuff I didn't ask for was 2,700. Come on fellas.  I guided the conversation of how it can be repaired and they said they could do it and cost was 675 if I supply faucet and do other work.

Im all about paying for service but let's be realistic here.   I do not recommend.

Had restano out to fix my air conditioning. Mike Cinkan was the service tech he was rude and thought he was a know it all. They overchared my system had to another company to fix problem. Will never recomend

In January, my sewer backed into my laundry room. Beguiled by the friendly face of the company's winking mascot, I called Mr. Rooter. Big mistake...Now, six months and numerous phone calls later, I am still waiting to have my yard restored to a state that does not embarrass me or make my neighbors wish I lived somewhere else. I was patient when the work that was supposed to take a few days took more than a month to complete. I kept my cool when the crew sprayed sewage all over my newly installed drop ceiling. I was understanding when they told me it was too cold to remove the mountain of dirt and rocks from my front yard, and they would be back in the Spring. Well, Spring came and went, with no work done by Mr. Rooter.  Numerous calls produced only empty promises and a what seemed like a few outright lies, e.g. I can't give you the manager's number.  She doesn't have a company phone.  Really? Finally, I called the credit card company, to report that the work I had already PAID for IN FULL had not been finished as promised. This, at  least got some response: 2 weeks later, a guy showed up with heavy machinery, scooped up some of the dirt and left. Now, I am told that they will finish the job, but not today. They have another job to do--far more pressing than the job they started in my yard SIX MONTHS AGO!!!!!  They will be over to pick up the machinery.  Do not call Mr. Rooter.  The guy on the signs appears to be honest, efficient and competent. I have yet to see that from the actual company. Save yourself some aggravation and pick a different plumber.

If I could give Hruska Plumbing 0 stars I would. In early October of 2022, I decided to replace the 15 year old hot water tank in my home. It wasn't an emergency so I got several estimates from local plumbers. Hruska's price was great so I contacted them and spoke with Brad, who is one of the owners...we discussed a timeline and I was told a project like mine was usually a one day installation, which was perfect...EXCEPT THAT DAY NEVER HAPPENED! I had read about other customers (and potential customers) experiencing a lack of  communication with this company, but I decided to move forward anyway. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!  I quickly realized what others said was accurate. My phone calls to the office were rarely returned. The easiest way to talk to the Brad was via FB messenger, and even that wasn't a sure thing.  It one excuse after another...an emergency at a school, coworkers were sick with COVID, a heating emergency for an elderly woman, family illnesses...all of which I was sympathetic to and understood. BUT, every time I contacted Brad for an update on my install, I never received a return call (though I had been told SEVERAL times I would be called). After the COVID illnesses at the company Brad even expressed they were backed up with work and how they were losing money, which is why I couldn't comprehend the lack of communication about a $1400+ job. FINALLY my patience gave out and on 12/9/2022, I sent Brad a message via Facebook (again, this was the most reliable way to contact him) and told him I was done with his lack of professionalism and would be finding another contractor, which I did immediately. The new contractor has been very communicative with me and my project is scheduled to be done 1/5/2023!  BOTTOM LINE...BELIEVE THE REVIEWS!!
