Best in Saint Louis MO

This company has earned my business for life! Three years ago, my wife and I bought an older home. While we absolutely love our home, it has come with a slew of plumbing issues. We finally came across an issue that, we believed, was serious enough for a professional. We called Ed Bellm, who have served our area for well over 50 years.

Upon our original consultation, things weren't looking good--it seemed our plumbing concern (a corroded copper water stack) was going to cost us a great deal of money. When Chris, the company's owner, came out to give us an estimate for the work, he found that our water stack was not affected, but we simply need to attend to some atypical piping from the home's previous owners. He fixed us up right there and charged us nothing for his visit.

The company could have went ahead with their original estimated work, made a hefty profit from us, and moved on--but they chose to be honest and have now earned our trust and business for the rest of the time we'll own this home.

We couldn't be happier and highly recommend their business.

Had a back up or clogged lateral line. Making a appointment was simple and easy through messaging on Yelp. They were one of the few businesses that actually responded back promptly.

Cliff showed up cleared the lateral line and gave some good advice on how to keep it clear since my pipe is straight and sloping down towards the Main Street sewer line. Their prices are very fair and reasonable compared to other businesses that want to charge by the hour and show up fee, etc.

They did the job, And I would not hesitate to call them again!

Jon and his brother installed my mailbox after someone ran over it. It was not an easy job since we were installing a 6x6 inch post and there was so much concrete in the ground that needed broken out. He was super friendly and his price was incredibly reasonable. They worked very hard and took their time to make sure it was perfectly level...they really did a beautiful job. They were really nice guys and I am already planning on calling him again to do some electrical work and to replace some deck boards.

Donald did an excellent job of cleaning a horrible dryer vent. He went above and beyond to make sure he got all the lint clogs out. Dryer is working perfectly now!!!!

When looking for a plumber - 'cheep' is a price you can't afford.  McWilliams Pluming worked with me on price - a fair price.

My wife and I gutted our house and replaced all of the plumbing (copper supply lines & cast iron waste lines).  We sought bids from a number of plumbers - Jeff Williams' (owner) bid was in the middle of the field. What sold me on Jeff - his professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to work with us and our needs.  He never missed an appointment, nor late, and scheduled with us when it worked for our schedule.  

He and his staff ensured we were happy - from the bid process all the way to the last sink being installed and calked.  Having worked on other home renovations - I can say finding a plumber like Jeff is a huge blessing.  I would use him again without hesitation!

I am so happy with this service.  I received excellent prompt and professional service.  They are very reasonably priced. This will be my go to service for all my sewer and drain needs.   Awesome find!

Jason fixed our blocked drain with no mess or fuss. He arrived promptly and was very professional. Well done! The woman who set up the appointment was also very good. I commend this company to clear your blocked drains efficiently.

The initial response was prompt. I really was impressed and excited about doing business with the company. The owner seemed to be very professional and caring. Nonetheless afterwards I've called and texted and there's been no response. I hope that all is well with the young lady. The no call back no show forces me to move on. She really seemed to be on point on our first encounter. Communication means everything in business and she totally missed out. I wished she would've told me I'm over booked or just simply gotten back to me with some type of input on starting and completing the job. Lesson learned...I strongly advise only doing business with those that write contracts. A word means nothing and they're often forgotten...putting it on paper serves as an obligation on both sides...I shamefully took her word and it sounded good but inevitably it meant nothing.

after getting completely jerked around by roto rooter (who had previously, as recent as jan 5th this year, done good quick work) having set up appointment for sat 3 pm on friday day so over 24 hours in advance i'm given the round around where it's entirely clear the dispatchers simply don't always even communicate with plumbers at all (was told 90 minute lateness is possible, which is fine, at 90 minutes late no plumber had yet been contacted, was told 5-7 window then at 7 still no ETA and dispatchers still hadn't actually given job to any plumber, yet of course dispatchers make the cost higher, even though yesterday they weren't doing any actual job at all) we called paul's plumbing here, he in less than 30 minutes on a sat night shows up, fixes toilet, all done and over with in maybe 10 minutes. and charges less than the well known companies since he doesn't have a useless dispatcher department that doesn't even actually communicate with actual plumbers.

very good, competitive pricing, very quick response and show up time, even on weekend night. support guys like this over any of these known companies that while in theory have more resources thus charge more simply are ran extremely badly and end up jerking you around where even if you call for appointments in advance keep you waiting with no useful ETA info at all even 28 hours after appointment was set and 4 hours into agreed upon time when we just cancelled that claptrap. good god only knows how long we'd still be waiting for a 10 minute plumber job (and eventually would've likely paid more too) if not for paul here.

On Thursday morning, June 13th, I went down to the basement to do a set of curls with my barbell.  I immediately noticed water on the floor. I turned on the faucet in the kitchen sink and water dripped down from the kitchen into our exercise room.  I stopped the water and got on Nextdoor to look for recommendations for a good plumber that was reasonably priced.  I called one and he came out and gave me a quote that shocked me.  Still in shock I went ahead and scheduled the work for his next available day, which wasn't until Monday.  The next morning my property manager instincts kicked in the next morning (that's what I did for 25 years) and I decided to get another estimate. Among the other names on Nextdoor was Tony Swoboda.  

I called Tony and talked to him about my problem.  He said he could come out that evening to look at it.  He came over in the evening and said he could take care of it, and his estimate was half of the first one.  Now in fairness to the first guy, it included repairing the drywall after the repair, but still, it seemed high to me.  Besides, I can deal with the drywall repair myself.

I told Tony that until the leak was fixed we couldn't use our kitchen sink or the dishwasher.  He surprised me by saying he could possibly come out on Sunday.  I said, Great.  He called me Saturday night to confirm he was coming at 10 AM on Sunday.

Let's recap:  I have a plumber who is not only willing to come out and not charge me extra to do a repair on Sunday, but on Father's Day to boot!

Tony was here this morning and after cutting access points under the sink and behind the dish washer, he located the leak.  An old lead pipe had an opening that was over an inch long.  Tony cut that piece out and then went to Home Depot to get a piece of PVC pipe to fix my problem.

During the time he was working under my sink I learned that Tony had been a police officer for 15 years, and that he lives on a 3 acre mini-farm in Maryland Heights.  His family has owned that land since the 1940's.

When he first came in I asked him, Do dogs bother you?  He said, No, I'm a dog person.  I have 4 of my own.  My two dogs ran out to the porch to greet him.  Once Tony was inside he got down on his hands and knees to get acquainted with Tango and Jack, and even let Tango give him a few kisses on his face.  I've always said, You can tell a lot about a person if they like dogs.

Tony Swoboda worked on Sunday, Father's Day because he knew we were in a jam. While our kitchen sink and dishwasher were out of commission we had to wash our dishes in small basins in our bathroom sink (see picture).  

We were so happy to have the use of our kitchen restored today.  

I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years.  I highly recommend Tony to anyone who needs plumbing work done.  He is honest, reliable, very reasonably priced, and he loves dogs!  If you call him, tell him Stu told you about him.  I told him I'd be writing a nice review on his behalf.  He's one of the good guys.

The people at Anton's are friendly, knowledgeable and punctual.  My air conditioner is older and went out.  I was quoted for a new unit because the compressor was locked up.  I was uncomfortable and called a 2nd company to test a fix for the compressor, which I would then purchase if it worked.  I was not offered a test with Anton's -- it was a purchase and hope for the best -- or buy a new unit.

When the 2nd company came out, the first thing they asked was about the capacitor, which was not mentioned during  service call with Anton's.  The capacitor showed obvious signs of deterioration -- it was bowed on the top & bottom.  When tested, the capacitor was not functioning.
A new capacitor (relatively inexpensive fix) got the air conditioning up and going.   No locked compressor, no coolant leaks....

This was explained to me as being the same as if you took your car in to the dealer and told them it wouldn't start, and the dealer didn't look at it, but said you needed a new engine....I was told the capacitor should have been the FIRST thing they checked, instead of not being mentioned.
Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Back in May 2018 I called four Plumbing Co.'s for a quote to repair a water main break to our bldg. Apparently Merlo showed up, but did not let anyone know from this Co they were here.  We had a 10x6 sink hole in our parking lot where the break in the pipe was.  Merlo billed us for a camera to locate the leak. (funny).  The bill also states Gave all info to Greg Burton for a bid..  We never received a Bid for repair.   I have called Merlo 4 times and have spoken to Vickie which assured me someone will call me back.  I have sent 2 emails with no reply.  If I could rate this company a 0, I would.  Very poor customer service.

Awful Plumbers! They have no clue what they are doing. They came out two days and couldn't figure out a simple toilet clog. My Landlord hired real plumbers and my toilet is flushing like new! Hire these guys at your own risk.

Can I give zero stars? Wish I had read the other reviews before having work done by these guys. Stay away indeed! Like the other review, they focused on paperwork more than customer service and tried to sell me monthly plans than get down to business. I needed my A/C fixed and knew what part needed replacing but didn't realize it would cost me hundreds to get it fixed. Part only cost $40. Not to mention they charge by the job not by the hour. Job was very easy, a few screws and plugging in wires and it was done. Don't bother giving these guys your business, forget it!

No phone call, No repair and two days and counting without a water heater. Oh yeah and a day o of work missed and the part needed was available locally but you decided to order it. I will make sure no one I know personally and no one that I know in my line of the remodel and fire restoration business will use your services. Your customer service is beyond apathetic and sub-par
